My mother clears her throat every single time she picks up the phone. I say, "Ma! Why don't you clear your throat BEFORE you pick up the phone!" But of course, that advice goes unheeded. Bugs me.

do other people think you're trying to get their attention?

Drving through the night...
Get caught up in an endless fight!
I wanna be the mover to real anarchy!

Ok? let’s go
Don’t do this. please!

Nation against nation!
Nobody speaks up but we are laughing!
Nationalism against nationalism!

Fuck a 1,000,000 trendy hardcore members!
Never talk! always listen!
I won’t be afraid of the new time!

Well, elmo, I'm not doing the "ahem" sound, I'm doing then "exhuming King Tut's tomb" sound. And I'm trying not to do it around people (that aren't my roommate). But, man, running to the bathroom every half-hour to cough up yellow loogies is losing its charm REAL quick.

Hot salt water gargle. Tea.

Bit of Atari Teenage Riot usually does the trick.

I had to once sit in a fucking car on a two-day trip to France next to my old boss who would be driving along making a sort of monotone hum which slowly rose to a dry gurgling noise and eventually turn into a full on "errrrhhheeerrrrrgh huuurrgh huuurrrghhh errrr huuuuuurrrghh huuuurrrggggghhh!" that would go on for like, half an hour and then start up all over again. I don't even think he realised he was doing it but by the end I was ready to grab him by the neck, twist it round so I was facing him and then with nails dug well into his jugular shout "LISTEN YOU FUCKING CUNT IF YOU DON'T STOP MAKING THAT NOISE I AM GOING TO REACH DOWN YOUR NECK AND PULL OUT YOUR VOCAL CORDS, THEN I'M GONNA CHUCK THEM INTO THE ROAD, BOOT YOU OUT THE CAR AND THEN RUN YOU OVER 17 TIMES, IS THAT CLEAR?!!!".

Luckily I didn't do that. The only way to block the noise out was to fall asleep and he wasn't very happy about that.

I thought I was the only person who was doing that. I had a cold about 4 weeks ago. The main part of the cold was over after about a week, but I've been coughing up phlegm ever since. God I can't wait until this thing is finally gone. I wonder if it might be turning into bronchitis. Or maybe it's just the nature of the cold that's going around this season. My girlfriend had a cough that wouldn't go away and she went to the doctor and got prescribed some antibiotics, which seemed to clear it up pretty fast. I'm starting to think I may have to go that route.

My brother and sister-in-law have taken in her senile mother, who drives them crazy in a million ways, but the worst thing she does is this: In the middle of every dinner she hawks a huge loogey into her napkin. I think if they killed her they would get off.

Yeah, I'm on antibiotics. Before I was on them, I had a cold that gradually turned into a throat-clearing seminar. I had a SEVERE sinus infection earlier in the year, so I made sure that I nipped this in the bud before I got sideswiped w/ frequent cold sweats & weak knees & dizziness & all that. Before I got on the antibiotics, I was only intermittently coughing up the "good" stuff - now every cough is full of fun!

ten years pass...

Everyone around me at work and home is clearing their throat a thousand times a day
