(3) While maintaining your finger's horizontal orientation, move it under your nose. The side of the finger should be pressed gently just above your upper lip. It's like miming "moustache" for a game of charades. (4) Hum a sustained note. Various vowel sounds will work. "Uuuuhhh" is the most common choice, followed closely by "ooooooo." Experiment a little bit; find what works for you. (5) Relax your lips. (6) Still maintaining a horizontal finger orientation, and still humming, rapidly sweep your finger down across both lips, then immediately sweep back up again. The motion is similar to strumming a stringed instrument, with the lips acting as strings. (7) Repeat step six as long as desired. Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piisfish 140 #2 August 4, 2006 please post video, I can't get any funny noise. Need more visual explanation. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MF42 0 #3 August 4, 2006 I've been searching for a decent video, but Google appears to be stumped on this one. Although I might possibly be using the wrong key words. (I just can't figure out what's the correct spelling for "bububullbuubbblluubb.") Just Google "strumming lips" and you'll find some decent erotica, so it's not a total waste of time even if you can't make the funny noise.

MF42 0 #6 August 5, 2006 Yes! That's the noise! I was frustrated at work, interpreting some poorly written instructions for modifying wheel pants. The instructions were comprised of several paragraphs, diagrams, and mathematical formulas, involving a ludicrous amount of measuring distances and finding tangents to curves, all to communicate this thought: "The wheel pants fit too closely to the wheels. Trim the bottom material back about one inch." The experience inspired me to create excessively complex instructions for the simplest and silliest thing I could think of, and hope somebody thought it was funny. Good job finding the video.

MF42 0 #7 August 5, 2006 QuoteWhat about cupping your hand under your arm then quickly and repeatedly squeeze your cupped hand? Chuck I never learned to produce a good armpit fart. The best I can manage is a soft, ladylike "whiff" noise. Blowing on the bicep is much preferred, IMHO. Lots of bass and volume. Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never got very far with the arm-pit fart, either. You betcha! Blowin' on the bicep works great. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
