The 2008 Finz Are Like "The Blob!"
It's a sci-fi classic! From out of nowhere comes a tiny glob of goo. No one pays any attention to it. No one even knows it's there. It's just so much snot, right?
But then it attaches itself to things it can feed on, and begins to grow. It's relentless and continues to feed. It can move this way and that way. It churns as it goes. Finally, it gets noticed, but it's too late to do anything about it. It's moving and feeding and growing exponentially...getting stronger and nastier as it does. In desparation, they try to freeze it to make it stop...but this Blob is impervious to cold temperatures. There's nothing that can affect its devasting march. It's the ooze from hell and it will not stop...ever.
To me, "The Blob" is a great nickname for the 2008 Finz. It's not a glorious nickname, in fact...it's pretty revolting. But it does have a bit of a ring to it maybe.
Anyway...as I thought of all this, I wondered what it would be like for Dolphin fans to show up at this weekend's game in the Meadowlands armed with gobs of goo that could drip from their hands for TV cameras, so I rounded up a recipe for fake snot. Here it is:
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: A Few Minutes
Here's How:

Fake snot is easy and fun to make. It is also pretty gross.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: A Few Minutes
Here's How:
- Stir 1/8 cup borax into 500 ml warm water. It's okay if some borax remains undissolved. Allow solution to cool to room temperature.
- In a separate container, stir 2 spoonfuls of glue into 3 spoonfuls of water. White glue will give you opaque snot (more booger than snot); glue gel will produce you translucent slimy snot.
- Stir a couple of drops of food coloring into the glue mixture.
- Add a spoonful of the borax solution to the glue mixture. Stir (if in a bowl) or squish (if in a baggie).
- Have fun with your snot!
- Elmer's glue is a non-toxic, water-based white glue or a non-toxic blue or clear gel. Another brand may be substituted.
- A little yellow food coloring could be added for that extra sickly touch.
- Don't eat or inhale the snot. Borax isn't particularly toxic, but isn't good for you either.
- Borax is found in the household cleaner or laundry section of the store. It's commonly used as a detergent booster.
- Wash your hands after playing with your snot.
