An ode to my most recent bowel movement: _Ahhh_ Thank you. Look for the sequel in a bookstore near you. ---

He was banned and his posts deleted. ---

Personally, I think that if your bowel movements _aren’t_ mundane and pointless, that’s something you should share … with a qualified physician. But, if they _are_ mundane and pointless, well, there’s no need to share. We all know what ordinary bowel movements are like. Assholes are like opinions, everybody’s got one. ---

I thought that the first one should have been locked because of excessive lameness. Quit wasting bandwidth, sparky. Haj ---

I think his bowel movements threads _could_ be much less mundane. He could spice them up. BM#1-- I stopped up the toilet with my rock turds. They were perfectly round and about the size of grapefruits. I was in there for about 3 hours and sweated bullets. BM#2-- Ohhh technicolor! It was just like that old game I played as a kid, what was it called?, oh yea, Paint 'n Spin. Red, blue, white and green. Patriotic Black Power swirls. Cool. BM#3-- I wish my ass would stop doing that stupid magic handkerchief trick. Do you know how long it takes to shit 25 scarves tied together? BM#4-- Damn, how many times can a man shit in one day? I was so full of it by the time I was done I was sitting on a crap pyramid. My head was less than a foot from the ceiling. I’d read shit like that. ---

Actually, if your bowels AREN’T pointless, you should see a doctor. That could be quite painful. ---

For some reason, this thread reminds me of a letter to the medical advice columnist in a long-ago National Lampoon: "Dear Dr. Dave, Every time my phone rings, I have a bowel movement. Is this normal?" ---
