What's your best sporn story?

How excited do you get when you see KLAXON? Sometimes you get a few in a week.. sometimes there is a drought! So in order to keep us sporners truly satisfied can we do our ultimate ultimate sporn stories? I've just shared my blackhead story on another thread (TAAT guilt) but this is my best..if it looks familiar its because I have posted it under a different name.
Many years ago I became aware of a very sharp pain on my left side. Between the hip and the buttock. Upon examination there wasn't much to be seen other than something that looked like a teeny pimple. I pierced the top with a sterile needle and nothing happened. Owing to the position of the 'pimple' I had to grab my flesh to bring it to a better viewing position.. well.. as I did that the pressure I applied caused a jet of pus to spew three feet across the room. In an arc! I've never seen the like. After evacuating the pimple I took a hot bath and tried again. Lo and behold it happened again to a lesser extent.
That was it. The best half hour of my life. I've never had anything like it since.
Over to you. .

Fucking hell Frank, I've just seen it Shock

PlumpingUpPartridge · 12/02/2015 13:16

hellkitty Grin I grow wistful for the upper leg boils I now realise I used to grow. I just thought they were mozzie bites. Sigh.

I have an ingrowing hair in my Fanjo! Result!!!

NuggetofPurestGreen · 12/02/2015 13:08

Luckily I was in the bathroom and it went in the sink.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 12/02/2015 13:07

I had a biopsy on my boob to check that a sebaceous cyst wasn't anything more serious. All fine except the biopsy site got infected. It was incredibly painful and red and swollen BUT one day I touched the little 'pimple' over the incision point and a veritable fountain of pus came out. Literally POURED out. Like a cup ful. It was amazing.

VixxFace · 12/02/2015 13:02

Animal sporn is going to far Shock

SheWhoDaresGins · 12/02/2015 12:55

Oh yes soap worms out of piercings are great fun. I had a sore ear once and my ear lobe was red and swollen turns out there was a spot inside my piercing as I put my earring in it burst and lots of lovely green pus came out. This led me to squeeze all my old piercings and remove all the soap worms. Best half an hour in ages!

Ouchbloodyouch · 12/02/2015 12:26

Spot porn = sporn

oh, and pussy foot horse also had an abcess on his face that was really nasty and gunky and wouldn't clear up even after 2 courses of antibiotics. Ended up having surgery to remove a bone chip and was in horsepital for a week having this drained and cleaned daily.

DonttouchthatLarry · 12/02/2015 12:22

where have you people been all my life? Grin

I love a good squeeze on myself or DH but for really good sporn, horses are the best! One of ours came in one night with an abcess the size of a golf ball on the flat side of his cheek - it was so hot you could feel the heat off it from about 6 inches away. NO way was he going to let anyone near it, so the vet had to sedate him before she took the scalpel to it - it was an amazing pus fountain, must have filled his entire head Grin.

Another one had an abcess in his foot a couple of weeks ago. The farrier took his shoe off and started poking about, when suddenly a stream of pus burst out of the nail hole in the side of his hoof, all over the farrier's apron. That was a good one Wink

The cat doesn't get left out either - he got bitten on his back by another cat and it got infected. DH was having to squeeze it out every day and bathe it - bless him, the cat only vaguely tried to bite him, I thought he was going to savage him! Oh how we looked forward to the daily cat squeezing sessions Smile

She's almost ours. She lasted the whole thread and is displaying curiosity.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 12/02/2015 11:53

Tommy we ought to tie you to a chair and make you watch hours and hours sporn vids on youtube. We'll turn you yet.

CatThiefKeith · 12/02/2015 11:52

Oh yes! Closed up piercings are fab. I never wear earrings, specifically so I can squeeze the holes every couple of months and get the gunk out.Smile

HowCanIMissYouIfYouWontGoAway · 12/02/2015 11:49

I'm sensing you are not one of us, Tommy. Grin Grin

APotNoodleandaTommy · 12/02/2015 11:45

Ahhhh like 'spot porn'!!!
I was thinking more complex acronyms eg
Spotty
Pus-y
Orifices
Really
Nasty

or some such shit

HellKitty · 12/02/2015 11:45

I feel recognised that we're not some kind of seedy minority now, even if we are but hey Grin

Cow abscess goo the size of a lemon??!! I wouldn't touch it though, I'd poke it with a stick or something.

HowCanIMissYouIfYouWontGoAway · 12/02/2015 11:42

Tommy - it's basically getting really excited about pus, enjoying videos of boils and spots and being really happy to hear about putrid explosions of the body's own natural cottage cheese. The sporn would be the actual videos. We would be the sporners.

When described, it sounds a bit odd, I grant you, but really there's nothing nicer than settling down to a good youtube hour searching for boils.

PotteringAlong · 12/02/2015 11:40

Pot noodle - sporn = spot porn!

LaLaLaaaa · 12/02/2015 11:39

Hooray for MN Yet Another Helen! Love the recognition of sporn love for Classics!

I have a hole where I used to have my belly button pierced. One of my FAVOURITE things to do is to squeeze out the gunk that's accumulated in it. It whiffs slightly of cheese and is all solid and wormy.

My dh says I am disgusting. I say I'm perfectly lovely.

BoreOfWhabylon · 12/02/2015 11:35

surpriseitsme that sounds like a blockage caused by a stone in your sublingual salivary gland, which then became infected.

APotNoodleandaTommy · 12/02/2015 11:29

I've sat through this disgusting thread hoping for a definition of 'sporn' - now can someone please tell me so I can stop reading?!?

YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 12/02/2015 11:20

Ha! Sporners' Corner. Moving to Classics now, chaps...

LaundryFairy · 12/02/2015 11:15

Arghhh - abscess NOT access.

OwlBeGoing · 12/02/2015 11:12

MNHQ could call it Sporners Corner Grin
