That’s when it’s working normally.

I sense this thread could make it to [The truly great threads in SDMB history](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=508687) which hasn’t had an update since [this post.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=17047293&postcount=162)

All this one needs is more fleshing out of the concept and some more exhilarating details. Counter-examples and enhancements would help it along as well.

Anyone who has seen other candidate threads since January is urged to contribute a link to them in the TGT thread.

Carry on…

(Laughing myself silly over her.) 😃

Yeah, I once ate a large salad that was mostly raw broccoli, and that went through me like, um, I forget the metaphor, but it was less than 2 hours.

eta: oh yeah, the expression is “like a dose of salts.” I’ve never had a dose of salts, however, so the comparison is merely speculation at this point.

Nowhere have you mentioned where, in your underwear, the wet spot was located. A mere “front” or “back” can be very helpful. I assume it was in the front, but considering the rest of the thread, one can’t be sure.

If you get nuggets, you’re not prairie-dogging, you’re rabbit-holing.

Kind of in the middle by the taint or chota area. It could have leaked from either orifice.

I’m not sure how that’s so vastly superior to just putting toilet paper down. And of course, you risk getting someone else’s piss on your hands rather than just your butt.

Why would you do that, unless you’ve pissed on the seat yourself?:dubious:

I do not know if you’re aware of this, TheBaptiste, but one of the main ingredients of Mongolian cuisine is yak semen. That’s almost certainly what it was.

See, you should have done the orangutan hanging from the stall walls.

Are you sure it was Mongolian BBQ? Because semen in your underwear is usually the result of pulled pork.
