OHMIGOSH! I should clarify...yikes! That "countdown" thing was a reference to how long it'll take for this thread to get locked.

Oh man. THAT didn't quite come across in the way I intended...

I poo everday, right when I wake up so that when I take a shower my bunghole is clean and there are no clingons.

Anyway, really don't like the ones that you have to shake off, you know the ones, they just sit there dangling, holding on for dear life so you have to wiggle them in the toilet. Or the ones that come half way out and then stop for no reason. then you are stuck there for longer than you wanted, and it is usually on a day when you are running late.

Well, all in all, I say a good 5-10 min. does me good, but it could be shorter or longer depending on how much mexican food I have been eating.

Ok, let's say I cam in here and locked the thread. You or someone else would head of to Suggestions and do your "Jamie was bad, Jamie is evil" thing. Now I reply in a thread and am criticized for that!! Loose loose situation <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />

And just because I reply doesn't mean I embrace it. We all poo, man. Deal with it.

Actually, if you add too much fiber to your diet, it should take you longer to poo. Not having enough fiber in your diet gives you "the runs" as I have heard them called. They're quick, but messy... whereas with a lot of fiber, you have to work on it for a while sometimes.

I usually take in some reading material, I mean, I've got nothing better to do. Usually the latest Colorado Cyclist catalog... I'm currently shopping for a new 700C wheelset

I thought the newspaper was to save on toilet paper. Talking of which, how many sheets do you use ? Do you use both sides or just the one ? Do you turn your underwear inside out when it gets a bit soiled, to prolong the time between washes ?

Hmmm, you're right, it is getting a bit late over here.

LOL funny thread

A MONTH without poo???? Good LORD!!! Did you JUST have water or something? That just aint right.

As to the question, usually once a day. around 5 minutes sounds right. I tend to think of huge battles and war when I go *bbbooooom! pow!!! bang!!!!*


I'm having deja-vu and amnesia at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

I spend ALOT of time in the bathroom. Right away when Macworld, MacAddict, Sports Illustrated, and the other magazines I get in the mail come they go into the bathroom. That's where I get all my reading done.

One day I'll probably end up bringing my iBook with me and post here

You should be going once or twice a day. If you're not going at least everyday, you've got some problems. Seriously.

You shouldn't have to...ahem...force. You also shouldn't have enough time to read anything.

From the sound of it, Jamie, you're pretty healthy. Do they float or sink?

Floaters not sinkers! The more compacted they are, the harder it is to go, which means your insides need some cleaning.

I'm not trying to be gross or anything, these are facts. Digestive health is very important. You guys sound like you need more raw vegetables in your diet :cool:

ROTFLOL!
So true!
I "enjoy" the experince of pooing. I go every 3-4 days, and when I go I tend to grab a thick book like "The Macintosh Bible" and I can be in there for up to 25 minutes. It's sorta like a feeling of bliss you get once you drop the first one and just let the others slowly move through your system. I do have to admit though some of them hang on forever, but I have never tried "shaking" them loose. As for fresh veggies, I only eat about a bag of carrots every three days. Another question do you leave a "present" for the next ocupent of the room/stall (no not that! I mean smell)? Some people, jeez, it has the potental to kill the entire population of a small country! I tend to leave the smells of the bathroom untouched.

I just engaged in a fascinating conversation with my friend Karla about this very fact. She is a health-concious individual and she had heard from a couple of "health-experts" (take that with a grain of salt) that you should be crapping 3 times a day...

of course one of the experts was also pushing 'colon-cleansing' supplements/implements...


i got a letter from the government the other day i opened and read it it said they were suckers they wanted me for their army or whatever picture me given' a damn I said never here is a land that never gave a damn about a brother like me and myself because they never did i wasn't wit' it but just that very minute... it occured to me the suckers had authority

actually, its just the opposite. since fiber is not digestible, it shoots right through. and if you dont get enuff fiber, u get constipated. this is why people who eat more greens (fiber) shit easier. it creates the secretion of a lubricant in the digestive system while it goes through. foods w/ alot of fiber are natural laxatives. so keep a good habit of at least eating some fiber in yer diet. dont eat just all meat, or you will get constipated... <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

Dare I say greatest thread ever?

Hmm...I took a dump earlier today. Now my dad, he goes to the bathroom like 24/7.

Here's a question: How many of you do it in public bathrooms? I will NEVER do a #2 in a public restroom.

The public restroom thing is my most hated dilema. It is fine once I use half of the roll of toilet paper to cover the seat. But it seems that I always go in to the bathroom when it is empty and I can concentrate on my turd. But right when I start to "turtle" someone walks in and then my turd follows. I could kick those bastards sometimes for walking in on me right at the point of release. Its as if my sphincter gets startled or something and doesn't continue with its job and lets that turd back in. Another bad thing is that the toilet paper in the public stalls tears my ass up good, and more or less just smears it around a little so that for the rest of my stay my ass itches. That is why I started carrying around tucks pads, because they clean you up right after a public restroom stop and your ass is once again clean and does not itch. Just a pointer for those of you who have the same prob.

Please try to keep the language in here slightly higher than it is currently.

I don't enjoy the word 'turd'.
