Personal HygieneThere comes a point at which your hygiene becomes less your problem and more everyone else's:
My old school nurse never seemed to wash - instead she wrapped herself in crepe bandages from the first aid kits. The smell was beyond pungent. If you got ill at school, it was better to suffer than try and explain symptoms whilst only breathing out.
When she was eventually 'let go',they had to strip the wallpaper in her office to get rid of the lingering odour.
How scuzzy have you got? Or, failing that, how bad have people you know got?

Ear CheeseI have stretched ears to a width of 5mm, as seems to be the 'in' thing to do with the teenage population, I guess.
I usually clean my plugs every day or so, to clean off the gunk (dead skin cells, lymph, and in some cases, a bit of blood or pus) that accumulates on the jewelry. It happens on all piercings, but gets much, much worse at increasing sizes.
Lovely stuff really, as you can see. It's bad enough on it's own, but the smell of the stuff is absolutely rank. It's really indescribable, but somewhere between the smell of rotting cheese and ass. (Thus, the name "ear cheese".) I've not had it happen to me, but with some of these little buggers that don't wash their jewelery, the stench can be smelled several feet away from them.
However, it does lead to childish fun by wiping it on your housemate's nose and watching their reaction.
Length? Oh, around 5mm.
