I want to be a horror (Disgusting, TMI)

I thought long and hard about where to put this. GQ seemed like a good idea because, well, it’s a question and I think it may have a factual answer. MPSIMS seemed good as well, because the topic is really quite mundane and pointless. I settled on IMHO because I thought the most likely responses were going to be along the lines of “this works for me, but YMMV.” If a mod feels I’ve chosen poorly, shuffle me off to wherever you like and my feelings won’t be hard in the least.

My lady pal and I live together in a one bedroom apartment, and at night, sometimes flatulence becomes an issue. As is wont to occur in these sort of circumstances, things often escalate beyond all sensible boundaries. Neighbors pound on the wall. The dog leaves the room in a huff to sleep on the sofa. And of course, we try to trap each other’s heads under the quilt. Ah, young love.

Thing is, she’s not very competitive, while I have a streak of the sort a mile long. As such, I think I can catch her off guard one night and deliver a blow so crippling that I may finally achieve Ultimate Victory. In pursuit of this goal, I turn to you, the SDMB, to help me along my way.

I wish to enhance my ass blast to the point that no human being can stand before it without withering in terror. I feel that there are three aspects of the perfect poot that must be enhanced to their maximum potential to truly achieve the desired effect.

First, the decibels must be cranked high. What good is a charging army if they all tiptoe briskly across the field? Winning the battle requires striking fear into the heart of my opposition. As such, I must not tiptoe into the fray, but mass a thundering charge. Preferably, I would like for my windows to rattle from their frames, but I’ll settle for waking the neighbors.

Secondly, the gas must be voluminous. It’s no good if she can escape to some untouched portion of the room. There must be enough flatus to fill the entire space, floor to ceiling, wall to wall. My ultimate goal here is, if the windows weren’t fully rattled out by the sound waves, to blow them out with the massive increase in air pressure.

Finally, and absolutely most importantly, there is the odor. This must be utterly devastating. A singular whiff of this should fell any man, woman, or child. Plants should droop and die, animals should retch in terror, and – crucially – my wife-to-be must gaze at me through watering eyes and between choked breaths for mercy, mercy, oh god sweet mercy from this terrible trumpeting of the arse. I don’t want it to kill her, but I want her to consider death a preferable alternative.

So I turn to you, Dopers. How do I achieve these goals? What must I ingest? What forms of yoga must I master? As points of interest, I am not lactose intolerant, and I have access to a giant vat of protein powder (which I find marvelous for increasing the volume of the toxins). Hit me with your best advice.

Okay, here’s my chili recipe…

Okay, I got nothing. Except a husband who toots at night, too, so really, I am not going to do anything whatsoever to encourage this behaviour. :slight_smile:

Your poor wife.

Cruciferous veggies are known to cause a lot of tootage. Try some broccoli or cauliflower in mass quantities.

Onion rings and milk. If I have this, I can probably clear the building.

Pickled eggs. I ate some 20 years ago and I swear I can still smell them.

Sprouts, lots and lots of sprouts, tons of the buggers

Paging grossbottom

Well, the Hawaiian barbecue pizza from Papa John’s last night sure did a fine job. (I am the poot warrior in our little family.) If I had added, say, onion rings and beer and cauliflower, we could have gotten somewhere.

“poot warrior”

That’s gonna make me laugh all day today!

Beer has been mentioned, but there are beers that do a better job than others. Either hit up the cheapest Natural Light style beers you can find, or chug down the Hefeweizen for maximum effect…

White Castle.

You want to inflict a “crippling blow” to win “Ultimate Victory” over someone who’s “not very competitive”?

This is beyond TMI. This is Lifestyle Power Exchange.

Yeah, he’s really tooting his own horn.

My recipe for disaster:

Start with the raw veggie tray of broccoli and cauliflower. Woof this down with some cheese dip, ranch dressing and buttermilk.

A nice mushroom soup, made from fresh mushroom and copious amounts of cream.

Main course is chili, of course, with lots and lots of kidney beans. Make sure to enjoy this with cheap, cold beer.

La piece de resistance: for dessert, a nice frosty malted milkshake, with extra malt and real ice cream.

You might want to go for a job afterwards, just so you can mix up the ingredients.

Moved from IMHO to MPSIMS.

It helps to have a flabby buttocks, so sit around a lot and don’t get any more exercise than 12-oz curls. The flapping of fat turns your exhaust from a rice bruner to a Harley.

Eating greasy food, fast food burgers with onions, meats past their due dates, & fiber also helps. Be sure to gulp in air as you take big bites, and don’t bother chewing. That’s what your digestive juices are for. Top this with lactose-rich desserts with high cocoa content such as chocolate ice cream. Get the grease particles and the milk molecules to interact with each other and give birth to methane. Chocolate is one step from shit anyway, so it serves as a good side dish.

Also, lots of cheese. It acts as blockage. The other foods will build up gas, but cheese acts as a thick wall of gum until the pressure buildup causes it to pop. That way you can get the fart out in one big blast, rather than periodic wisps.

I go for the “B” foods, myself. Beans, beer, broccoli, boiled eggs.

Damn, I forgot eggs! Deviled eggs work best.

I once went on a road trip and lacked the carrot sticks I would normally have taken for munching, so I brought raw potato slices. Holy cow. I was trapped in the cab of a pickup for 5 hours with the most ungodly stench and I couldn’t get away. I suspect it was the carbs, locked up in cells, being ripped open and converted to stench by intestinal bacteria.

On a similar vein, apple juice is killer for both volume and stench. If I were contemplating a coup de poo such as you contemplate, I would personally opt for raw potatoes, something sulfurous like pickled eggs (for scent) and apple juice.

The problem is, with these recipes you might be a suicide bomber.

With the advice on this thread, his goal is practically a Fart Accomplait.
