You could also inhale helium. I have no idea if that'll help hiccups, but maybe when you hear your voice you'll laugh so hard that the hiccups will go away....
Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Also, you could stand on your head while leaning against a wall. Then have people stack cantelopes on your feet. Be sure to have someone take pictures and post them here.
Oh wait, are we still talking about hiccup cures?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
This morning, we have fog. Big fog.
Makes me a) wonder if we will get orb, and b) want to go back to bed.

I've had hiccups for two days. I've tried every trick I know, and none of it's worked. And they're not even regular hiccups, they're like hicBURPS.
Accupressure almost always works: Hold your first three fingers of your right hand flat (and tightly) against the inside of your left wrist (where the veins are showing) for about thirty seconds.
Failing that, try a variation on Ailleann's water trick. Drink a mouthful of water but don't swallow until you lean over forward as far as you can. Swallow (sort-of) upside down. Repeat at least once.

Okay, I have the cantaloupes, but there's no one around with a camera...
Also, the holding my breath seems to have worked. For the moment. They have a habit of going away and coming back. I'll be sure and keep you all updated on any exciting developments in my epic struggle.

I wonder if the cantelopes would work on my ear infection pain?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
We have sun out early , so I am guessing you get orb , Lee. but I have no real idea.
my cure for hiccups. fill a glass of water drink from the oppicte side of glass - you don't hav to drink a lot - by the time it goes up your nose - they stop

Our wings are not tired.
The sugar thing is the only one that works for me. Then again, I never normally do sugar, so it may be the shock to the system. I think Tommy's suggestions might work though.

What is even happening?
The only thing that works for me for endurance style hiccups is eating a spoonful of sugar.Me, too. Do you take sugar and water (I do), Lee, or just sugar?
Jars, since they're hic-burps, have you tried an antacid?

YAY for no more hiccups.
I am guessing you get orb
We probably will, Beth, but I bet I have to go to work first. I kind of like the fog, since it's the first one we've had for a while.

Sugar alone, then if it works, lots of water to get rid of the sweetness.
