Why does my mouth taste like soap?

[extarbags]

It's been like this for like two days, and I assure you, I have not, to my knowledge, orally ingested any soap. However, I've been at my Dad's house the past few days, and he's got a cold, which means I've been washing my hands a lot. Is it possible that I've used so much soap on my poor, ragged appendages that I myself am now partly made of soap, as manifested in my saliva?

(Also, unless I miss my guess, this is the post that turns me into a World's End Supernova, the forum's second. I decided to forgo a fruity celebratory post, but thanks for making this possible, qt3! I couldn't have done it if you weren't so awesome.)

Edit: I did miss my guess! I'm now a "How To Go," to my knowledge the forum's first, unless McCullough was one after the switch. I don't remember ever seeing it before, though.

The correct answer is: because I just washed my penis. UH THANK YA.

Lies. Sure you have. When you eat, handle things you eat, suck your thumb, pick your nose and eat it, whatever.

So it's like what I thought, only more soap getting into my mouth after making a stop on my hands and less an alteration of my DNA itself. I can deal with that. Thanks!

Better than being the seer's target.

You have been warned. They are coming.

Turning into soap would be a shit superpower. You'd be powerless in rain.

Yeah, but if he fought Dirtman, Dirtman would be fucked.

Forum members, choose who to stake next. Breakfast is soon, followed by lunch, and then tea-time, then dinner, fourth-meal sometime after that, and then, if we're not too tired and bloated, we'll kill us someone else.

[MattKeil]

What about second breakfast?

Yeah... sorry about that. I dropped your toothbrush in the toilet. Then to disinfect it, I just let it sit in some of that scented liquid soap you have next to your sink.

[croman]

...the fuck?

[John Merva]

Elevenses!

[bloo]

Althought it may not be the same thing exactly, I discovered that the Crest Pro-Health Rinse caused most things I drank throughout the day to taste like they had soap in them, especially beer. And if I thought about the taste, I would notice it all day. I cut out the rinse and everything went back to normal.

P.S. Post counts are for the weak.

extarbags,

Is the room spinning and your vision blurred? Does shaved-head Brittany look hot to you? Would really salty cheese pizza go down good right now?

I only ask because I recently saw a report that schools are banning hand sanitizer because of it's nearly 85% alcohol content and the fear that kids are getting drunk and could possibly die from ingesting it. I figure maybe that applies here...

OK, not really, but this was my 1,000th post.
<---- Score!!1one!

[Nick Walter]

Bah, if you think using this thread to score your 1000th post is something big, try using it to score number 5500!

[arctangent]

Sometimes shredded dried coconut tastes like soap to me. Of course no one else I know thinks coconut tastes like soap, so never mind.

[jeffd]

I"m going for number 2000. I'm twice as awesome as Slainte (well almost)

[dannimal]

How come nobody has suggested that 'bags actually rinse his hands after using the soap?

Geez. Some kid smelled his hands after washing with soap, thought they smelled like Midori and the rest is history? 170 proof hand soap? I guess that's one way to save money on producing antibacterial products ... just use alcohol ... lots and lots of alcohol.

[Wholly Schmidt]

Hey guys what's this thread about.

[Charlatan]

Well, I have nothing to add except to say I just scored post 950. Can the thread keep alive until post 1000? Only time will tell.

Someone should start a poll to find out what kind of soap Qt3ers think tastes the best. Suddenly Shit Bonerz would be a dangerous option, I wonder how many people would still pick it?

Gargling with Bactidol kills my taste buds, and leaves my mouth with the flavor of soap and other cleaning products for the rest of the day.

[Old Man Gravy]

When I was about six, I learned the F word from Ronnie and Trudy, who were the waifs from across the street (and whose dad was a trucker and sometimes parked his totally awesome WHOAH BIG RIG out in front of their shack). My brother was just starting piano lessons at the time; for some reason and quite without thinking, I asked him at the dinner table if the notes he played were F-U-C-K, reveling in how droll I was. I don't know if I thought he and I were the only two at the table that could spell or what.

Anyway, my Baptist minister dad's jaw hit the floor. He grabbed me by the arm and gave me the old mouthsoap washout. I was really happy, though, because by that time in my life I had learned to desperately fear the paddle, and had naturally assumed that there were a passel o' swats with my butt's name on them. The soap was a welcome alternative, so every chance I got when he wasn't looking, I smiled at the camera like Ralphie.

So, yeah, soap isn't very good (especially as a dinner appetizer). But it's waaaay better than being spanked by an angry baptist, extar. So thank your lucky stars that your mouth doesn't taste like Scripture-fueled corporal punishment.

[Robert Sharp]

I love this thread. I put soap on my tongue just to participate. Your right, extar, it DOES taste like Bill's dick.

[Stroker Ace]

So thank your lucky stars that your mouth doesn't taste like Scripture-fueled corporal punishment.Ewww. I don't think that's a predominantly Baptist practice.

What's really weird was when I logged into my Gmail account this morning, and found that I had exactly 666 emails in my inbox. I was so freaked out that I shut off my spam filters for a few minutes. Now I'm in the 700 Club.

[Old Man Gravy]

I lawled out loud

Wait. You laughed out loud... out loud?

[MattKeil]

Yeah, he actually spontaneously said "LAWL!" out loud.

I have heard people do this. I have also heard someone say "OMG" out loud.

The first sale I rang up at espresso bar of one of the first huge Borders stores was for a priest. His tab, with tax, $6.66.

He was not amused.
