Can you snap a man's neck like you see in the movies?

[WelshBloke]

That is fucking terrifying!

 

[Muse]

Dunno, but I can break a piece of spaghetti.

Back problems really suck. Don't they have Doctors in Canada? maybe you got a pinched nerve or some other treatable shit that you can get fix up by some doc?

I had an issue with wearing my night guard, never got used to it, used to wake up with sores on the inside of my mouth. So, in an effort to prevent that one night I made an effort to twist my head so I wouldn't bite my cheek from the inside. Woke up with a much bigger problem, a pinched nerve and lost a lot of upper body strength. Was able to do 8 good chinups before that happened and suddenly could barely do one with a struggle. Tingling down my left arm and hand, spasms on upper left portion of my body. This went on for months, but gradually subsided and I got my strength back. I don't wear that night guard!

Get drunk, pretend you're Axel Rose (sexy slim Axel) and do the snake dance thing.

This only works if you are really drunk, really committed, plus video it and post it here!

I'm close to that point, 2 more beers.

Do it!

after this moment I need my neck broken.

 

[Mayne]

I just snapped my own neck...didn't fix the problem. Time for euthanasia.

 

[Mayne]

why are pinch nerves so intense?

 

[Sgt. York]

Why is the sky blue, mommy?

 

[Mayne]

yeah i'm a bit of baby. I will stop crying.

Because if was green, we wouldn’t know where to stop mowing.

 

[NAC4EV]

this whole neck thing is driving me crazy. I can't sleep on any sides..have to lay flat on my back and that is not how i go to sleep.

See a chiropractor they routinely crack necks.

 

[Mayne]

feels a bit better today, might be the beer though.

 

[KeyboardCowboy]

I once went to the chiropractor for a sore neck, it sounded like he snapped my neck with one quick swoop it cracked so many times. With more pressure he probably could have just killed me.

Nope, it's a lot harder to break someone's neck that it looks...

 

[Muse]

Can't remember seeing that in the movies. Frankly, I tend to like movies that don't cater to people's thirst for violence. Movies that do are hard to avoid, of course. My mother hated them, in general. But we kids figured her for a Pollyanna. But she had something there, I think.

I wouldn't dare. I had a pinched nerve there, no joke. Never been to a chiropractor, not on my list of things to do.

Though I agree that Chiros are mostly Witch Doctors, some of their aujustments have been shown to be useful for people.

Man with a watch knows what time it is... man with two watches is never sure.

Man with 3 watches is the one to trust. Take the median time and discard the high and low. Unless you have 2 outliers, you will generally get an accurate time

Time, I don't worry about. When I want exact time I open an app on my cell phone, figure I can trust that... I use that to set my clocks.

Now, what I do fret about is my thermometers! I have over 10 of various kinds, digital, analog. I can use the median idea, but how do I know that's right? I have it down to maybe 1 degree F, but I can't be sure. I suppose I could buy an expensive thermometer that's guaranteed pretty accurate. I have a few devices that are, I think, about 2 F high. One appears to be 5 F high, hunk of junk. I was just thinking yesterday I should toss it. But... I can't know for sure that it isn't the one that's closest to right...

Fill a cooler with ice. Drive to the ocean. Park on the beach. Stick all the thermometers in the ice water in the cooler. Stir. Rely on the thermometer which reads closest to 32Freedom (0Commie).

What does it matter? if it's hot, put the AC cooler/use a fan
If it's too cold, then wear a winter coat or long sleeves shirt?

Yeah, it doesn't matter... much. But it does help. I like it when it's 62 F in my bedroom when I'm sleeping. I don't insist on it. I very very seldom turn on the one room air conditioner in my bedroom. When I do, it's for no more than an hour on a very hot evening. Fans, I use a lot. Anyway, a good thermometer helps me monitor the situation with respect to how I feel and respond. Many things can impact that including activity, general health, what I'm wearing. A quick look at a thermometer helps me. Knowing if it's accurate certainly helps.

1) Go see a professional massage therapist and get a good massage (not that kind of a massage, I am serious).

B) No, nothing you see in the movies actually works the way you see them in the movies, unless it is an animal documentary with Allister Cooke or Marty Stouffer, you can trust them.

Red) The closest that you can come to snapping people’s necks like that in the real world will be choke holds. Find a Judo or Jujitsu school in your area. They can show you how to do a good choke. Of course before they will teach you these dangerous moves they expect you to learn more basic moves that involve you being thrown to the ground and then have your limbs twisted in ways that will make a grown man cry like a woosie. This process will either fix your back, or kill you, so the journey itself may be useful. I would recommend looking up Gene Lebell’s various youtube videos for examples of what you want.

Good luck Mayne. We are all rooting for you!
