Brett Kavanaugh implausibly claimed under oath that "boofing" was a reference to farting, but he perjured himself and lied to Congress on live television. So now we have a Supreme Court justice who ingested drugs through his butt hole, and lied about it by falsely claiming under oath that he was only farting.

>The boofing exchange between Kavanaugh and Judge, along with other terms like “Devil’s Triangle” in Kavanaugh’s yearbook entry, bears significance because it presents a specific picture of the men as having spent a lot of their time drinking, partying, and pursuing sexual exploits in high school — a reputation that followed Kavanaugh to Yale.
>This is the reputation that comes into play in the account of Christine Blasey Ford, who also testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday about her allegations that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed, groped her, rubbed his genitals against her, tried to remove her clothes, and covered her mouth while she tried to scream for help during the summer of 1982. Ford also alleges that Judge witnessed the incident.

>Based on extensive interviews by me and @katekelly with Kavanaugh's former Georgetown Prep classmates, what he just said about the meanings of "boofed" and "Devil's Triangle" is not true.

A debunked silly Vox story
The only thing that was debunked was Brett Kavanaugh's lie under oath to congress that boofing is farting.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Boofing
>Boofing: The act of smirkingly perjuring oneself before the United States Senate Judiciary Committee.
>Boofing: The act of inserting drugs into your anus for a much stronger trip, even though it's named like a synonym for farting. Brett, we googled what boofing means, the definition conflicts with your testimony.
>Boofing: Common slang term used for anal sex in the 1980's. More recently used to describe the act of inserting drugs ( most often tab form or powdered ecstasy) through the anus to more quickly enter the blood stream, also referred to as "thumbing" or "booty popping" Sexual : Last night, my friends and I were boofing Molly!
>Boofing: the act of consuming alcohol via the anus, for rapid buzz e.g. Lance boofed a bottle of Old Thompson

>What’s the Deal with Booty Bumping (aka Boofing)?
>Booty bumping, sometimes called boofing, is a way to consume drugs — usually methamphetamine, heroin, or cocaine — by way of your butt.
https://discoveryplace.info/effects-of-boofing/
>Understanding the Dangerous Trend of Boofing
>What is Boofing? Boofing is slang for inserting drugs or alcohol into the anus. People boof to get a faster and more intense high. Because there are a high number of blood vessels located near a thinner surface layer of mucosal tissue in the anus, drug and alcohol absorption happens at a faster rate than ingesting something orally. Just about anything can be boofed: alcohol, MDMA, cocaine, heroin, crushed up pills, you name it.

>What Exactly Is 'Boofing' And When You Should Never Do It
>When someone asks you a question, it helps to know specifically what is being asked. For example, if someone asks you, "have you boofed yet," don't answer unless you know exactly what that person means by boofing.
>Apparently Supreme Court-nominee Brett Kavanaugh asked that exact question in his high school yearbook page. During the confirmation hearings this week when Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Rhode Island) asked Kavanaugh to clarify what "boofing" means, Kavanaugh responded that he used the term to refer to flatulence as shown in this PBS NewsHour broadcast:

#55I believe the liquid they are mentioning was featured in the movie The Abyss. It is painful for humans to breathe the liquid. But apparently giving you an enema with it works! Amazing.
Makes me chuckle thinking of the next movie about future divers having tubes going into the rectum, not the mouth.

Especially if ventilator capacity becomes saturated, this could possibly one day be a scalable alternative.
*Fuck* ventilators. They damage the patient's lungs, and laying tubes into the trachea requires traumatic surgery and carries significant secondary infection risk. ECMO – for patients with too destroyed lungs – is even worse, massive infection risk due to exposing vital arteries and veins, and it destroys your blood cells, requiring constant topping up with fresh blood transfusions. This has the potential to be less…
“Laying tubes into the trachea” I presume refers to tracheostomy.
Let’s be realistic here - if you are requiring a tracheostomy and ventilator, or ECMO the you are severely unwell. A blood transfusion, or small risk of infection is the least of your worries at that point.
As with everything in medicine there is a risk:benefit ratio. If you need ECMO you literally cannot oxygenate your own blood even with a ventilator. No ECMO = you die.

#58My wife had toxicology courses and one of the things the lecturer said it's that the rectum is interesting because of its absorbtion capacitors that are not hampered by the body. Alcohol is one example, where you can die of intoxication, while if you have taken it the more traditional way your body would have reacted earlier to get it out.
I was under the impression ‘shelving’ was also a faster way to absorb alcohol and illicit drugs, hence why it’s popular among certain groups.

What a bizarre comment. Every patient who goes under general anaesthesia for surgery (life saving or otherwise) is ventilated and usually without issue. “Laying tubes into the trachea” I presume refers to tracheostomy. Let’s be realistic here - if you are requiring a tracheostomy and ventilator, or ECMO the you are severely unwell.

Obviously. So why use these invasive procedures if a less invasive one could do the job with less risk?
> A blood transfusion, or small risk of infection is the least of your worries at that point.
Did you come straight from the 19th century or something? Hospital acquired infections kill hundreds of thousands of people every year. That's hardly a small worry.
> As with everything in medicine there is a risk:benefit ratio.
No shit. That's why there's interest in alternative procedures with less risk for the same benefit.
> If you need ECMO you literally cannot oxygenate your own blood even with a ventilator.
Unless… there's a new method that bypasses the lungs. Did you read the linked article?
Re: Anal oxygen administration may save lives
#60I confess my first thought was mixing oxygen in a methane environment inside the body isn't ideal. And this isn't a joke..... for example, cyclopropane is an excellent anaesthetic gas but no longer used due to the explosion risk. I believe (?) there was a case of a patients throat catching fire on the operating table. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inhalational_anesthetic#Gases
