What are you, **Scott Plaid** ’s sister?

Probability that **SOAC** will actually _EXPLODE_ from being so anal-retentave = 24%

Probability that **SOAC** needs to buy a can of Lysol and a ladder to get over herself = 100%

I’m kinda hoping and not hoping, at the same time that **Sat on Cookie** will ever have kids. _Not_ hoping, because they’re going to be really fucked up. And hoping, because of when they go through that _artistic_ stage with the contents of their poopy diapers. 😃

I remember the first time I ran across that thread. “Mach Oh Point Seven”. Oh my.

Preferably hypoallergenic and fragrance-free. You never know.

Don’t forget a candle, and some wooden matches.

I was holding off from that remark. I didn’t want to be the first. 🙂

I am itching to know the specifics of what, if anything, beyond a bad smell happened here. I suppose that it may be because I worked in a State Hospital for the profoundly retarded as a young adult, and so am somewhat hardened but I can not imagine what could be so bad that I could not use a bathroom for days after a defecating event.

Perhaps the OP will grace us with a reply

I haven’t actually read your reply, but am sure that there is nothing in it that would possibly matter to me.

Actually, what the OP said was she doesn’t have time to read the whole thing and respond right now - I assume because of real life events (and who of us hasn’t had a busy life at times? Hmm?) Yes, her response was a little…arrogant is probably a good word, but why don’t we hold off on the tar-and-feathering until she comes back and communicates more fully with us?

Also, I was playing off of the breath holding thing. Because of the smell. Get it? I made a funny.

Why do we call it _taking_ a shit, though? Isn’t is more like _leaving_ a shit? Maybe **Shat on a Cookie** ’s problem is that **Working Class Oaf** actually _did_ take a shit somewhere.

I’ve had my spasm of rationality for the day. From here on it’s nothing but knee-jerk responses till bedtime!
