(And slythe? Why is this thread in the pit again? I missed the explanation somewhere.) ---

I’m locking off the thread with the same topic over in IMHO. Y’all can wet your whistle and dump your thoughts on the subject in this thread instead. ---

This is a thread about _piss_, you’re in the Pit, and the best you can come up with is “You so and so…”?!? ---

Not me, but sometimes I catch my dad peeing in the bathroom sink, ostensibly to see if there are any uric acid crystals in his urine. He says they’re pink. I guess I’ll take his word for it. ---

especially as a chick, I feel much cleaner peeing in the shower than I would or do simply using the toilet. I looooooong for a bidet! stoid ---

Holy hell, this thing’s old… and after more than a month, I finally realized that instead of saying “At 1:30 AM, I’m very creative” I should have said “I’m NOT very creative.” Oh well… slythe’s still a weenie 🙂 ---

re the hijack about peeing on your feet to stop athletes foot, In the army, (back in WW2) (I wasn’t there but Spike Milligan mentions it seriously in one of his autobiographies), recruits were told to pee in their boots to make them soft and stop disease. ---

Of course I always piss in the shower. On to other things. On my recent birthday, someone gave me a deck of cards titled something like “50 Things Everyone Should Do.” (Tho there were 50 cards - I was only 40.) Most of them were pretty predictable, along the lines of climb a mountain, swim with dolphins, fuck outdoors … But the one that threw me, and all my guests, for a loop was “Poop in the bathtub.” Why the hell would anyone want to do that? (Anyone out of diapers with control of his bowels, that is.) And what would make a novelty producer think that should be included in the 50 top life experiences? ---

On Letterman in the Spring of 1994, Madonna said to pee in the shower because it cured athelete’s foot. As a “one trick pony homosexual” like Esprix, I have to do everything she says, whether it’s “Get out on the dance floor!” “Come on, vogue!” or “Pee in the shower.” Whatever it is, I do what she tells me, same way heavy housewives have to cook low fat books and eat their inner angels when Oprah tells them to. We all have our crosses to bear, and thank goodness mine isn’t reading heartwarming I-Can-Read style books about overcoming teenage pregnancy in the Midwest. Peeing in the shower? Piece of cake. ---
