Subscribe by EmailUpdate: Teapot-Blowing Contest — Pictures
September 11, 2009 by Geeks are Sexy | 45 comments
Yesterday I asked you, dear readers, to send pictures of yourself blowing into a teapot. I could not have imagined such a great response–the number of submissions was fantastic. And even though I offered $20 to the first three people who sent in their picture (congratulations to Touchcream, TheOrangeSquirrel, and Keaton Pepper), most of you told me the prize didn’t really matter because I gave them a good reason to have fun.
Some of you did it at home, and others, at work. And while some did a splendid and controlled execution of the feat, others let all hell loose and just blew in the thing as hard as they could. This probably had something to do with the type of teapot they were using, though.
Anyway, here are the results of our teapot-blowing contest, for your viewing pleasure.

Excellent!!!
Grats!
Awesome! So jealous that I don’t have a teapot!
what? you dont have a tea pot??? wtf!
:)) I have one… I’ll try it as soon as I can :D
That was cool. Who knew that that original picture of the tea pot and stuff was real? And who knew a teapot could bring so many people so much joy! But now I am bored and going to go eat a pancake.
why do i feel dirty looking at these pictures? haha.
perhaps its because the they are going down and the teapots are getting blown… woot!
This is the ultimate reason why the Internet was created.
I drink tea everyday, most time all day, never think of play teapot like this ! nice shot Sean V
Hysterical! Love the pictures!
I only see comment explosions like this on Microsoft/Apple posts. I sense a great idea for a regular feature. Some will get burnt out on it, but others will come.
Now I’ve got that “I’m a little teapot” song stuck in my head. Thanks ever so much!
Lol, it’s funny to see that everyone realized that such task would turn out to be really messy. Either they used simple towels or decided to do it in front of the toilet (that was very funny).
Oh yeah, and it was nice to see some geek gals on the pics :)
snork@ Jack. I had the same thought!
Makes me wonder why nobody actually tried this with his/her MJ water pipe.
Not advocating for drug use here though, but it’d look funny between all the teapots! :)
Nice pics
now that’s what I call people blowing into tea pots.
This is so rad! Thank you.
I’ve tried it out.. it’s fun!
Awesome! when i saw these pic i want to do like that , but I don’t have a teapot! ..
Loved it! Everyone did a wonderful job!!!

These feel a little rule #34 to me for some reason…
beautiful pots!! hehehe!
i’ve tried it – and i would like to add
that it works a lot better with Darjeeling
than it did with the Earl Grey only ; )
@Jack, It made me feel dirty looking at them, too. I think that makes us bad people…?
I made a video, a little late but still worth the look ;)

Makes me wish I had a teapot. :(
And I felt a little dirty looking at them, too! :P
wow, that’s rad
I seriously don’t own a teapot.
You are all so funny. A big pat on the back to all of you…. now get a life/job/haircut
Nice, i will try this tomorrow after breakfast :-) will be a nice sunday :-)
I seem to have missed the point of this ignorant phenomenon.
I need to get my a teapot. You guys all look so sexy, i want to be part of this crazy sexy thing. hehe.
Lovin it all. I need to get my tog skills out to do something like this :D
You can get tea-pots cheaply from second hand shops, for all those who don’t have one and want to try this out. I think I might be getting a few more so I don’t break the good one when I use this technique to have water fights in the bath!!
woo! nice UWO purple mug!
its like women ejaculation
i find it awkward that the guys are a bit better at it than the ladies…
How to entertain the random/spiratic/extreme population at a tea party/ceremony.
Step 1! (practice required for perfect aim..)
Ez kész!
Boring!!
Wow! Assuming that that is really, near-scalding tea in the pot, you have something that is
1)unhygenic,
2)dangerous to your lips, face and eyes,
3)dangerous to those stupid enough to be around you, and 4)an almost guaranteed mess to clean up!
If the trip to the emergency room was a bit more in the “definite” column, I would give it two stars. As it is, only 1.
You’ve got a long way to go to beat Naked Flaming Porcupine Juggling…
Heh, not something I would try, but I gotta admit, with cold liquid looks like it could be fun.
BTW, Mortican, you’ve got the same tea set as me! lol! (Actually looks like it might spill *less* poured this way – that short spout is the bane of me!)
this looks strangely erotic….
Dutch Poem about Tea Pot Blowing:
De nieuwste overgewaaide Britse rage
Leuker als Mary Poppins nu op het internet en op BBC I TV
heeft u dadelijk in deze December dagen familie en vrienden op bezoek en nemen ze u vaak in deze periode onverwachts te grazen
Pak ze terug en begin een game Tea Pot blazen…
voor spel regels kijk op google Tea Pot Blowing succes verzekerd en voor de eindeloos lijkende en aankomende “feestdagen” een grandioos idee !!!
so, is this a sexual thing? it looks perverse to me. really really weird that people do this and that these pics exist, i hope u all know how weird this is
The Graham Norton Show is trying this as I speak! BBC America and all of Britain is now introduced to the art of teapot blowing :)
Potblowing is fun! We only drink coffe, don’t have a Pot
