i was enjoying a nice, spicy mad chicken amigo with nachos from carl's steak subs today when i felt some get lodged in my throat. i gave a quick choke but was too involved in my lunch. once the amigo was no more it started to dawn on me that whatever was lodged in my throat was actually quite large, and hurt like hell. i tried yacking, gargling water, making that loud snot inhalation, to of no avail. at the end of the day when there was clearly no progress made, i realized i'd have to come home and try to vomit this sucker out -- something i was dreading considering how much i despise throwing up.

lucky for me i realized that i could see this sucker when i looked in my throat. it was a piece of nacho in the shape of a triangle. and so the games begin -- nail file, toothpick, pointed end of those plastic floss thingys, until finally i used a pair of tweezers. mind you, this was no trivial task -- if i put whatever appliance i was using at the time in the wrong spot i ran the risk of pulling the trigger. (did i also mention yet that it hurt like hell?) the wining combo was the nail file as a tongue depressor and the tweezers to get in there and yank it out.

the picture doesn't do it justice, but something had to document this sucker. (this is actual footage of the nacho, not of a random finger nail held in tweezers). like the title says, no more nachos. ever.

no more nachos
