i have a few warts on my right hand, and i want to get rid of them without burning or freezing myself in the process. with the Rosa’s help i found out about duct tape occlusion therapy from Wikipedia and i’m about half way through the treatment thus far. i’ll let you know how that goes when i have more conclusive info.
the interesting thing that happened (which usually happens) is that i end up wandering around all over the place on Wikipedia. there are so many links and so many interesting things to learn and read that i can’t help but get lost (in a good way). tonight i went from duct tape occlusion therapy to Warts to Wart (Nintendo) to Super Mario Bros. 2 to Doki Doki Panic all in about 5 minutes. it was great!
all that got me thinking… is there a “6 degrees of separation” game with Wikipedia as the source? instead of Kevin Bacon and the movies could we use Real Bacon and all of human knowledge. i’m just making this up on the spot, but can you get from Real Bacon to Warts in 6 steps or less?
i’d say that the only rule would be this: you can only click on links that are contained within the content of the page and not on footer or sidebar links. anyway, that was my idea, so run with it. does something like this already exist? if not, why not?

I’m doing the duct tape wart removal as well…I’ll keep you posted.
Wart to cauliflower to dietary fiber to flatulence to mammals to pigs to bacon. I know that’s seven, but it’s pretty close. oh, and I went backwards…but I’m sure it goes the other way. Beat that, suckas.
another treatment for warts that goes a bit more quickly than duct tape is to use grapefruit seed extract [GSE for those at sahara mart] and/or tea tree oil. both are anti-microbial will start knockin on that wart’s door in a couple of days. i’m currenty doing a combo of both. i just rub a bit of both in 2-3 times a day and cover it with a band-aid. it turns white and sloughs off. it’s natural, smells good, and both GSE and tea tree oil are good to keep around for heaps of other things. maybe you could do the duct tape instead of the band-aid and hit those buggers with the triple threat – oh hell yeah.
as for the wiki challenge – check this out. bacon to skin to list of skin diseases to warts. if i’m not wrong, i’d say thats four. awww shit, ya can’t stop it.
here’s something you might enjoy.

i saw these ladies at a late night dance party for PIX fest. i recommend checking out HOW DO YOU SAY.
lovey.
good job boys! that was much better than i thought. so now we need to make this “degrees of wikiration” world reknown and stuff. as for the wart removal, i’m still rocking the duct tape, but i might try some of that other hippie stuff too.
ha!
When I was in Indy, I went to see Wasteland DC play their first show of their East Coast tour (which they are currently on). While waiting for it to start, I noticed that I had somehting in my teeth. So I broke a stick in half until I got a sliver that was tooth pick shaped and I got that shit outta there. Ian came up and asked what I was doing, and I told him. “You shure do learn a lot of hippie shit dating Ingrid, huh?” Good one, Ian.
that’s pretty funny, nate, but what the hell does that have to do with anything that we are talking about here?
i think it’s because hippies are the source of all warts on the planet earth. one day, with proper breeding and application of duct tape, we’ll be rid of the dreaded ”bongo people.”
that’s great pete. but i think that hippies can breath underwater so i’m sure they can breath under duct tape.
hmm. do please let me know if it works as i have a verruca on my foot that i migh try it on. Does tea tree oil really work? that sounds rather unlikely. I think its all psychological really.
We’re hilarious.
Why do so many of my friends have warts and stuff? I need new friends.
it’s a fact of life brandon, and you need to recognize that we wart people are everywhere. we’re loud, we’re proud, so get used to it!
