Here's something that some ppl prefer not to discuss... After returning to the US after living overseas for many years, I noticed a change in my turds. While overseas, my turds were usually small, or odd-shaped bits, or worse still hardly solid at all. I didn't experience any unusual digestive problems, and really I never even noticed that they were odd... That is until I returned "home". Almost immediately my turds regained their long, cylindrical shape, that I had forgotten about all those years ago. I mean almost as long as my arm. So my question is, why the change? A friend described exactly the same situation happening after he returned from traveling overseas, confirming that this is a common occurance. Now remember, I'd been living overseas (Europe) for most of the past 11 years, so I would've expected my turds to adapt and be normalized after a certain length of time in one place. So my friend and I could only attribute the change to certain bacteria in the water supplies (your do-do is mostly bacteria, btw). So I guess when I got back "home" the US bacteria once again setup shop in my intestines and reconfigured my turds into nice long pieces to once again grace my toilet bowl with their heaven scented extrusions. The end. You may now take a nice shit and observe your turds in solitary splendor. BTW, older German and Dutch toilets have a special ledge for your turds, above the water, so you may relish their shape and scent more readily. Isn't that nice? And no, I don't have a turd fetish!
i think you do have some sick fetish.. you really have the urge for a girl to shit on your chest... dont you? haha... i always wondered at times why my poo was green... but thats about it.. i never admire my poo.. and well for the dutch toilets... well they're dutch.. what do you expect
lol...... according to some Dr guy i saw on oprah your shits are supposed to be long and S shaped or curved at least in some way. Shits that are so solid they dont curve, or they just break apart are too solid and looser "ploppy" shits...if i may, aren't healthy either. The nice in between S shape is the way to poop.
Once, I was at the library, and i caught a wiff of rank poo near the shelves i was standing by..... I look down, and there was a turd, right there on the floor... It had a foot print in it, and i noticed a slight trail that lead to me.... So I quickly checked my shoes, and found them clean.... then i got to the other side of the Library, in a flash, fearing some one might acuse me of the mess..... I never found out who steped in it or from whom it came.... .....anyway... that truely is a Mysterious Turd...
Just my twist on the thread. Do you know what surstromming is, if not then when you 'Google it' you will understand ? All kidding aside I think that your post was interesting and I, honesty, think that it is very important that we improve our awareness of our bodies; I believe that this is an important way to provide an "intuitive education" to ourselves about our bodies and is also a way of providing "early warning" about conditions that may be detrimental or beneficial to our bodies; and, being aware of what we excrete is an important aspect of this. I thought that bacteria in the water sounded like a good guess, sounds likely; I wonder if there are "hidden" associated health issues ? .
From late August to the end of September, the surstromming season is in full flow. It would be comforting to tell you that surstromming is a lightly-flavoured potato and chicken stew, but, well, it isn't. It is, in fact, herring that has intentionally been allowed to rot so much that it is illegal to eat it in apartment blocks. Hundreds of tons of herring is caught in April, and placed in a brine just salty enough to stop the fish from decomposing so completely as to no longer exist. The rancid fish flesh is then stored in tins through the summer, until it is deemed sufficiently rotten, when it is joyfully guzzled at surstromming parties. The stench is, apparently, at its worst when the can is just opened - so much so, that it is generally opened underwater, so the noxious gases and filthy oozing fish-goo is contained. Nevertheless the stench, likened by visitors to that which emerges from a dogs bottom, is all-pervasive. The dish itself is best swallowed rapidly, without chewing, while tins are only allowed to be kept unopened for 18-months, after which they are liable to explode. Hmmmm. And you thought Spam was bad.
hehhehehehehe,, i think id rather eat shit.. http://www.enat.org/~aribob/fermentedfish.html Now, surstromming is something that I often heard mentioned by friends, "Hey, Bob, have you eaten surstromming yet, hah hah hah?" I knew that it was fermented fish and that eating it would be a challenge but, having eaten all sorts of weird seafood when I lived in Spain, I was determined to give it a go. One day, just around lunchtime, I was shopping in my local supermarket when I came across a tin of the stuff. "Well, now seems as good a time as any," I thought, and popped it into my shopping basket. When I got back home, I put it in the middle of the kitchen table and took a tin opener out of the drawer. Now, what no one had told me was that fermenting builds up quite a lot of pressure inside the can and that you should always cover a surstromming can with a cloth before you open it. The other thing I didn't know is that surstromming is usually eaten outdoors. I leaned over the tin and just at the moment I pierced it, there was a hissing sound and then a fountain of juice shot into the air and spattered the left lens of my glasses - thank goodness I was wearing glasses; I hate to think what it could have done to my eye. Then, the air in the room was filled with a stench that was reminiscent of a public toilet that hadn't been cleaned for 20 years. I picked up a piece of the fish on my fork, held my breath, screwed up my eyes and placed it into my mouth. Can you imagine how a solidified lump of surgical spirit would taste? Well, that's the feeling I had as it burned into my tongue. I rushed over to the kitchen sink, spat it out, coughed a lot, and drank several glasses of water. Then I went back to the table, tied up the can in 3 plastic bags and dumped it in the garbage. Some of the juice had spilled onto the plastic tablecloth, so I wiped it up with a dishcloth, opened the window to get rid of the stench and then left the room. When I went back into the kitchen 10 minutes later, I beheld the most nauseating thing I've ever seen in my whole life. The room was full of flies - about forty of them and they were just going absolutely crazy, charging all around the room at supersonic speed, bouncing off one wall, then bouncing off the opposite one. I put my handkerchief over my mouth (the fact that I didn't throw up was close to miraculous), ran over to the window and closed it. I then ran for some fly spray and just sprayed continuously for over a minute. Then I left the room and waited for about 10 minutes. Finally, I looked back in - all the flies were lying on the floor. I got the vacuum cleaner out of the room and swiftly disposed of the remains. Sweden has some nice dishes. I loved pytt i panna, Janssons frestelse, and pickled (as opposed to 'fermented' herring) washed down with Swedish schnapps is a wonderful treat. But as for surstromming... well, enough said. P.S. If you want to know more about surstromming, I've found an article on the web. Click on to the link to read YOU'RE HERRING A LAUGH! Surstromming - the world's nastiest food...? and apologies for the accompanying photograph. By the way, on the same page there is an article about durian, the world's smelliest fruit. But, man, let me tell you something: I would never want to go near surstromming again but, when I was in Malaysia, I just loved durian. Truly a prince among fruit. © Robert E. Jones, 2000
LMAO @ that surstromming story! I'd heard about the fermented herring, but didn't associate the name with that. I agree it's very healthy to be aware of our bodies. I think neglecting/ignoring what our bodies are trying to tell us is the leading cause of illness and obesity.
There are only 2 things i hate in this world. people who are intolerant of other peoples cultures. and the dutch. i hate the dutch. lol.
Apparently there is a prank that Swedish college-age kids play in the dormitories; they open a can of surstromming and put it below the air intake for the buildings heating system. Actually, I am interested in someday giving surstromming a try. .
haha i dunno but turds that are long, knotty etc... are generally healthy. kids have them like that. adults dont often less they take care.
