Ahh Yeh Baby!! So lets talk snogging!!
For some reason this blog title has aroused your curiosity?? If I had a smilie with a raised eyebrow I would insert it here…. Maybe the word SNOG (a generic term for saliva swapping between 2, hopefully not more, hormonally challenged participants) rekindles images of making out with your best friend’s girlfriend/boyfriend under ‘the love-tree’ or behind the school canteen.
Can you recall your first real KISS?...
Believe me, that would have been a definite snog! And more than likely there would have been a clash of front teeth and possibly even a cut lip.
Do you recall the Sensation? The Hype and The Gossip that followed? “Did you snoggar? Didya, didya, tell me!!” And if you were any sort of a man or woman, your answer was always yes.
How old were you?
And how old were you when the SNOGGING stopped?....
Only to be replaced by passion? Or should I say Pashing!!? (another generic term where consenting hormonally charged individuals attempt to obstruct the breathing of the other by use of their tongue).
Often, in the animal kingdom, you will see such behaviour. Particularly among the young. Lion cubs, for example, will playfully grope and over-extend their jaws in an effort to “out-gape” the other.
I’m sure we can all recall the physical after-effects of a decent pash! The sore throat, strained tongue muscle and a sub-luxated mandible, all resulting from the “out-gaping manouvre”
There’s little doubt in my mind that the whole industry of 1st Aid Response and Education, was the brain-child of what I refer to as a HYPER-SNOGGER, someone with an obsessive disorder, who quite possibly had a near death experience whilst engaged in a SNOGGATHON with an individual who had an over-sized LIKKA (or tongue). But the HYPER-SNOGGA, although traumatized, was awakened to their entrepreneurial talents. And, coupled with a deep empathy for fellow sufferers, realized the market for 1st Aid Response and Education.
All that aside :) I would like to hypothesize that inside all of us still lives that crazy, cute, and curious kid.
Do you remember the child in you?
How often do you let him or her out to play?
What I am going to do, as a service to all you past and present snoggers out there, is to construct a quick survey, for your own intimation and evaluation, which will hopefully reveal to you, whether in fact, you have imprisoned the child within, and if so, to what extent. If the outcome is undesireable or somewhat distressing, at the end of the questionnaire I suggest 2 possible solutions from which you may choose one or both
So…I’m not sure how long exactly this survey will take as I’m obviously making this up as I go, But I’ll try to keep it to just a minute or 2. It will be in Multiple choice format (as they are the only exams I ever understood at school). A points system will be in place at the completion of the questionnaire thus allowing you to ascertain the extent of “your inner child’s freedom”.
OK…you ready? And remember, “If you cheat, you’re only cheating yourself!”
Question 1
Still thinking…
If you were asked to play in a game of backyard cricket at a bbq, would you –
A – Instantly recall that bad back you’ve got from years of chronic inactivity
B – Hesitate as you’re already settled, and the wine glass is full
C – Take one look at your kids, who are almost wet with excitement, and give in to their pleas
D – Triumphantly snog the face of the cricket bat, as you stride to the centre of the action
Question 2
You know there must be a school reunion coming up soon, so you
A – Move to Europe for a couple of years :) (I promise you I almost flew home for it!)
B – Seriously debate it with your partner or friend, and decide to decide later
C – Reminisce your favourite snogs. Maybe hit the gym or tanning salon
D – Flick through the old pimple-faced fotos, snogging the year photo with excitement
Question 3
Your colleague at work pulls a prank on you. How do you respond?
A – You report this as a dangerous incident to your superior
B – You chastise their behaviour and demand that they “grow up”
C – You let down their tyres
D – You call them aside and attempt to snog them
Question 4
After a tough day in the trenches, you
A – come home thinking you can’t remember your last snog. Life pisses you off!
B – pick up the kids, hug them, hug your partner, then focus on the bills and tele
C – stop by the gym, or the local, and crack a few jokes at life
D – come home fully pumped, snogging or wanting to snog anyone that even smiles a you, even your dog (called a dog-snog:), before dragging the family or friends down to the park or beach to fly a kite
Question 5
An extremely attractive but unknown person approaches you in the street and asks if they can snog you. Your response is to
A – Stand there, shell-shocked and emotionless, yours eyes going all funny until they are scared away
B – Say that you were told never to snog strangers, but give them the once up and down anyway
C – Pick your nose and flick your booga at them, then blow them a kiss good-bye
D – Depending on your status, snoggem hard as you can, and/or race home and snog your partner even harder!
