If it's Snot From the Nose of the Great Buddha, then where is it from?

Buddha needs to try hair in a can.

Pick or treat!

That's snot hair, MOTW. It's a very organized booger collection.

Abbott: It's snot!
Costello: It's not what?
Abbott: No. It's snot on a stick.
Costello: What's not on a stick?
Abbott: BOOGER!

Really, is that any grosser than those "gummy rats"?

This is a "New and Improved" product. The old one, Snot fron the Nose of the Mediocre Buddha, didn't move.

Hey, stop picking on us. That's deity pool.

I believe Mr. Adams speaks the truth. "Daibutsu-sama no hanakuso", to transliterate. Turns out it's part of a fine line of products that includes Gorilla Boogers.

I don't want to know what the not so great budda is giving out.

You can pick your Buddha and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your Buddha's nose.
Posted by: Braniff | October 28, 2008 at 04:47 PM
I read it as "DaibutTsu-sama no hanakuso." The kind you find in gelato.

zen koan: if you meet the Buddha on the road, offer him a tissue.

Is this really how they planned to make dried squid more appetizing?

What is the sound of one nostril blowing?
Posted by: jon | October 28, 2008 at 05:39 PM
"Achoo!"
"Buddha bless you. Oh, you got a smidge of schmutz on your buddha gob."
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 28, 2008 at 05:42 PM
There are many paths to enlightenment.
This one blows.

Next week, on VV-1's "Behind the Music: Cheap Trick".
"We've been stuck on picking an album name for weeks."
"How about "Mucus in a Can?"
"That's snot that funny, Nigel."
"No! I've got it. I've bloody well got it: Buddha Can!"
And so, with a terrible typo, Cheap Trick, Live at Budokhan was launched....

Sounds like a great Halloween hors d'oeuvre, to be served alongside the kitty litter cake, the chorizo diapers, and the squirrel kebabs.

Gotta love Cat's 'Boo-ffet.' (buffet)

*Snork* at everything up there. Oops. Wipes up snorkage. Saves it for a delightful Halloween treat.
It makes perfect sense, even in Engrish:
That Big Buddha Lacking Hankie
Things to ponder as you lay a finger
asideinside your nose ...There were some great assets in the flick Booger Knights.
You keep pickin' that thing, it'll never heal.
I pick you, Boogerchew!
