Fun with a Y connector

So I got one of my friends to come over, and we played with knex. He decided to have fun with a Y connector and pretended it was a nose and lip piercing. I thought it was funny, and took pictures, then I decided to post it.

Two big lumps (nose skin) and a rod sticking out.... Oh my God....
Sep 11, 2009. 2:01 PMKentsOkay says:
>laughs loudly A very small rod too...
Sep 11, 2009. 3:38 PMCamisado says:
Tsk tsk... I wonder how he can pick up chicks with a rod that small.... I have this really big Y connector, it's 12 inches long. Now that is a total chick magnet.
Sep 11, 2009. 5:33 PMCamisado says:
Not bad.
Sep 16, 2009. 6:25 PMknexsniper1 says:
disgusting much?
Sep 18, 2009. 8:23 PMknexsniper1 says:
Ok, it's great to hear that nobody cares, now can we just end this argument now? I don't want to argue with you guys...
Sep 17, 2009. 4:29 AMCamisado says:
Eh, grow up.
Sep 18, 2009. 5:01 PMLithium Rain says:
He has a point. You grow up.
Sep 18, 2009. 5:22 PMCamisado says:
I am. It's called puberty, milady.
Sep 18, 2009. 6:36 PMTheCheese9921 says:
Puberty has absolutely nothing to do with growing up. Sorry
Sep 18, 2009. 11:33 PMCamisado says:
It at least has something to do with growing up. Sorry to you.
Sep 19, 2009. 6:10 AMTheCheese9921 says:
No, it really doesn't at all, puberty is a physical change, growing up is a mental change, they really aren't related.
Sep 19, 2009. 6:21 PMCamisado says:
Dude, are you saying that you don't experience any mental change in your teen/puberty years?
Sep 19, 2009. 6:31 PMTheCheese9921 says:
Emotional changes yes, mental changes specifically maturity, no.
Sep 19, 2009. 6:39 PMCamisado says:
Then your argument isn't necessarily correct, 'cause I (and a whole lot of people I know) experienced the whole process differently.
Sep 19, 2009. 7:01 PMTheCheese9921 says:
Hitting puberty does not equal growing up, guys don't typically mature till their 20's or 30's (some never will haha). Maturity is gained through experiences (it takes a lot more than 12 years worth), I do admit when you are going through puberty you will most likely feel like you are "all grown up" because of it, you're not, this is just your hormones. After puberty tweens and teens still lack self control and discipline along with many other parts of being considered "mature".

Don't worry about growing up or being mature, it will all come in time.
Sep 20, 2009. 3:24 AMCamisado says:
Now, first of all, you talk like I said something along the lines of puberty being the end of emotional & mental growth when I didn't. I know it takes more than 12 years worth, but for your information I never said it only takes 12 years and I am a few years older than 12. When did I ever say I'm all grown up? When did I even made myself out to be remotely mature? Now listen guy, I appreciate your many advices but don't talk like I said those things 'cause I didn't. Haha, now that's just pathetic. When did I ever worry about growing up or being mature? Thanks for the moral support, but FYI you started this whole conversation and if anything, you should be telling yourself that.
Sep 17, 2009. 8:24 PMknexsniper1 says:
I don't see what growing up had to do with acting like that... But hey. Whatev
Sep 18, 2009. 5:00 PMCamisado says:
You call this disgusting, I mean seriously, what are you, 8?
Sep 18, 2009. 5:02 PMLithium Rain says:
The fact that someone has higher standards than you does not mean they are younger, weaker, or immature. Quite the opposite in fact.
Sep 18, 2009. 5:21 PMCamisado says:
When did I ever even say "younger", "weaker", or "immature"? When did I imply he was even inferior to me in any way? Granted, I might have been a little harsh on him, but you stating "quite the opposite" ? Hah. I laughed. Read your whole comment all over again, seriously. Doesn't necessarily have to be like that at all. Me and the guys are just trying to have a little harmless fun, don't need to rain on our parade, man.
Sep 19, 2009. 9:53 PMLithium Rain says:
>>When did I ever even say "younger", "weaker", or "immature"? When did I imply he was even inferior to me in any way? You implied he must be 8 years old to think your joke was disgusting. >>Granted, I might have been a little harsh on him, but you stating "quite the opposite" ? Quite so. To take the high road is a sign of maturity. I stand by that statement.
Sep 20, 2009. 3:17 AMCamisado says:
Point taken. Whatever. I have my own values, you can keep yours.
Sep 18, 2009. 6:38 PMknexsniper1 says:
Hey, who asked you to stop? You can continue if you want, i'm just saying that I think that what you are saying is a little "strange" and for your information, I am not 8, i'm 14, and I would appreciate it if we just end argument now.
Sep 18, 2009. 11:36 PMCamisado says:
Ok.
Sep 11, 2009. 5:23 PMKentsOkay says:
Yah, but you gotta go out in public with it just hangin' there....
Sep 11, 2009. 5:33 PMCamisado says:
Not if you wear extra large AR-4 Commando undies topped with a fabulous SR-V1 boxer!

Sep 5, 2009. 5:24 PMCamisado says:
Ngeh, I'll save the hating for when he does show his KI side.
Sep 5, 2009. 10:38 PMDer Bradly says:
Hm?
Sep 5, 2009. 5:30 PMCamisado says:
Please discuss KI matters only in KI and the K'nex section of I'bles, don't drag any of the other regulars into this.

Sep 6, 2009. 1:20 AMCamisado says:
Eh... What'd he say?
Sep 5, 2009. 4:26 PMCamisado says:
I was cracking a joke. I can't believe you didn't get my drift. Two big lumps, rod sticking out..... Does it ring any bells?
Sep 5, 2009. 4:43 PMCamisado says:
That's the DJ I know.
Sep 10, 2009. 2:38 AMCamisado says:
I'm always on Skype.
Sep 11, 2009. 2:20 AMCamisado says:
Eh.... By the time you're online, I'm usually asleep (unless its a weekend).
Sep 5, 2009. 9:16 PMknexsniper1 says:
very nice? oh yea, tell your friend nice lipstick! :P jk
Sep 16, 2009. 6:23 PMknexsniper1 says:
i see, in that case, if he had kept it on, then his lip would have died! :P jk jk, hmm, i have to say, very innovative uses for a y - connector, although i feel kinda wierd when saying that :P
Sep 13, 2009. 1:38 PMgeodez says:
i have done the lip one a lot, but the nose is new to me.
Sep 11, 2009. 8:14 PMCamisado says:
True.
Sep 12, 2009. 1:29 PMOwenmon says:
Your back! :-D
Sep 12, 2009. 4:27 PMCamisado says:
I never left.
Sep 12, 2009. 8:12 PMOwenmon says:
Really? I thought you were temporally banned.
Sep 12, 2009. 3:15 AMCamisado says:
Supposed to be a reply to your reply on my undies comment.
Sep 8, 2009. 9:14 PMI_am_Canadian says:
Nobody wants to see that.
Sep 9, 2009. 1:12 PMknexguy says:
I agree, this is stupid.
Sep 9, 2009. 2:21 PMI_am_Canadian says:
Well, it did make me snicker. Still nasty though :-p
Sep 9, 2009. 2:56 PMI_am_Canadian says:
That doesn't make it not nasty.

Sep 6, 2009. 2:33 AMKiteman says:
Now, let's see you wear it to school.

And get suspended again.
Sep 6, 2009. 7:51 AMKiteman says:
It was a joke.

Although piercings beyond the ear can get you suspended from my school. The rule is: "one small stud per ear, nothing else."
Sep 5, 2009. 3:34 PMknexfan9182 says:
wow what a waste of bandwidth.
Sep 5, 2009. 3:47 PMlemonie says:
I doubt that you are paying for the bandwidth which you seem to care about. Remember that posting a comment chews it up also... L
Sep 5, 2009. 4:57 PMknexfan9182 says:
But someone else is. Trust me his was a bigger one.
Sep 5, 2009. 3:35 PMlemonie says:
So that's a Y connector. OK I learned something. Ever try one of those moustaches you (used to) get in cheap crackers, man they are irritating, I prefer tape... L
Sep 5, 2009. 3:46 PMlemonie says:
In cheap Christmas crackers it was somewhat traditional to get black plastic moustaches that fitted on your nose in rather the same way as the Y connector. But it was always really uncomfortable.

It's all fun and games until someone breaks out the crazy glue.
Sep 5, 2009. 3:15 PMcaitlinsdad says:
Look for the borax laundry addiitive, mix it with the glue and some food coloring to make slime.
