Why men pick their nose (an ‘exploratory’ video)
I recently bought a new digital camera. Unlike the last, this one has video capabilities. As you can imagine, I’ve spent the last few days filming just about everything: birds, cats, my crippled sister, the undergrowth outside… and even myself. I’ve been brainstorming, trying to come up with some kind of video series that’s both interesting, and a good test of my ability. The video below is the result — it’s quick, it’s dirty (in one take!), but I think I could be on to something.
It’s entitled ‘Things you’ve always wanted to know about men but were too afraid to ask’, and the first episode is ‘Why men pick their nose’. Yes, I’m aware that the series could do with a shorter, catchier name… but I can’t think of one. TYAWTKAMBWTATA? No. ‘… too afraid to ask’ perhaps? Or perhaps I could just embrace my uselessly anecdotal nature and turn it into ‘Things you’ve always wanted to know’. We’ll see.
Enjoy the video. Let me know if you like it, or not. It’ll be educational at the very least!
(If you can’t see the video above, you’ll need to visit my blog — and as always, I am a proud sponsor of Lilu’s TMI Thursday!)

March 4th, 2010 at 1:39 pmOh goodness after the “strand” comment I don’t know if I should press play lol

March 4th, 2010 at 2:12 pm*Goes to google ‘Danza’*
You read comments before pressing play, Emily? Such self-control!
March 4th, 2010 at 2:16 pmI think television has programmed me to believe wholeheartedly in things that you say because you are British, and British people on television here are generally experts in some field or another. Is it warped that I fell into some sort of history-channel watching state when watching this, even on nose-picking? I think the good quality of the camera also contributes.
March 4th, 2010 at 2:32 pmI thought we were meant to be evil? Or is this the other stereotype — the documentary one?
It’s true! Can’t you see it in my eyes — I’m not lying… I could never lie; I could never use this voice for EVIL…!
(Danza is a kind of Caribbean dance…?)
March 4th, 2010 at 2:34 pmhahaha I love your new series!! ALthough I do think you are fairly disgusting… But that accent! woohooo!!
March 4th, 2010 at 4:47 pmIt was an experiment in ‘naughty and nice’, just as I said in the video. On the one hand, I gently stroke you with the accent — on the other, I dig for bogeys.
March 4th, 2010 at 4:49 pmTony Danza?
March 4th, 2010 at 7:50 pmKristi: That’s how I’ve got through the last ten years in Canada. One thing I’ve learned: Accents make ANY BS sound authoritative

I am going to make a video of all the bogeys Seb has wiped underneath his chair….. and on the sofa…… and on my car seat……
March 4th, 2010 at 8:34 pmI’m not sure whether I should be flattered, or offended…
He seems quite handsome, in an 80s way…
March 4th, 2010 at 11:55 pmOhhh, just saw mum’s comment. That’s a lot hotter.
March 4th, 2010 at 11:57 pmone of my nephews when caught picking his nose and told to stop said: “But I’m hungry” hahaha
March 5th, 2010 at 1:23 amWait… is this to say women don’t have nose hairs??? Really?
I am tilting the head back of the next woman I see and shining a flashlight into her nostrils.
March 5th, 2010 at 1:59 amI’m sure SOME do…
Just like SOME women have a dark moustache, uni-brow and back hair… but most don’t.
March 5th, 2010 at 2:04 amwell, consider me your latest fan. You had me at the casual introduction AFTER watching you dig around in there.
March 7th, 2010 at 4:57 pmhilarious.
Read through some of your other posts, I love the cum-in-eye story. Mostly because I once witnessed a guy do the same thing (though, being a girl, my role in the story was a tad different than yours).
Anyway, keep it up.
… ew! You were the INSTIGATOR?!
It’s entirely different when self-inflicted…
March 7th, 2010 at 5:05 pmmmm.. i showed this video to a very hairy male friend who disagrees slightly with you. he says “it’s all about the exploration/discovery. a form of mining, if you will.” what do you say?
March 17th, 2010 at 5:24 pmHum…
I don’t know, after 25 years of picking my nose (or thereabouts), there isn’t much, er… surprise… when I go a-diggin’.
There’s only so much that can come out of a healthy nose.
March 17th, 2010 at 5:38 pmi guess i’ll have to ask him what he’s been putting up his, then.
