    I don’t know why but I have a childhood memory about boogers that is permanently seared in my mind.

    I was at home one afternoon and picked a big flat flake of dried booger and I wanted to get rid of it. I walked down the main hallway of my home and waited until no one was looking and flicked it into my brothers bedroom. I aimed down but the thing spun off my finger, and started flying across the room like some kind of frisbee. It dipped and dodged to the left then right and landed way at the opposite end of the room. I was so amazed and surprised because it was a perfect throw of some dumb piece of booger. I couldn’t tell anyone about it and I felt stupid sharing it … but the memory is stuck in my mind.

    I was never able to un-see it or un-remember it.

        It’s freakin weird … for about 30 years I kept that to myself thinking that I would be some weirdo or dumb kid that could be entertained by the simplest things in the world … I share it here with a bunch of internet strangers for the first time and I feel somehow liberated or made to feel normal somehow. Thanks guys. May my childhood boogey fly high … lol

          I hope that perhaps you could share such with your irl family as well - but either way, we do support you being just as weird and odd and strange as the rest of us, we like it that way!:-)💪🤪🧙‍♂️

    This is why O’Brien is basically a god.

    He’s reprogrammed the transporter to remove them.

    Cold virus? Transporter.

    Rumpled uniform? Transporter.

    Annoying in-laws? Transporter accident.

    EDIT: HAHAHA. something just occurred to me. Scottie was probably doing the same thing. Not enough redshirts? transporter “accident” makes more. It explains why Kirk is never bothered by them dying.

      So what you are saying is… he stores them in the transporter buffer. In fact, this may be all that he needs for a person - you don’t need ALL of someone’s DNA, just a boogie (this only makes no sense if you think about it, therefore just don’t and it will all work out perfectly?:-).

      Sometimes it helps to pass it along to someone else.
