There’s such a thing as [paradoxical diarrhoea](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_impaction), where you’re hella constipated but passing liquid stool because that’s all that _can_ get past the obstruction. But I wouldn’t rule out the other based on some anecdotal evidence from a friend of mine who was hospitalized with something really nasty. :barf: ---

Why people find gay sex so disgusting. It’s not like they do anything that some straight couple somewhere isn’t doing. ---

> [@EmilyG](#): > > Kind of a, I dunno, selfish answer to the OP’s question, but… there’s a file about me at work. I know its location in a drawer, and it wouldn’t be too difficult for me to secretly peek into that file. But I actually kind of don’t want to know what’s in there. > [@Incubus](#): > > How about the obvious? > > I want to know when people are talking behind my back, but don’t really want to know what they are saying. Twofer response: knowing isn’t worth it, and you’d probably be really disappointed. In high school, I took advantage of some alone time in my guidance counselor’s office to glance through my file. It was horribly boring, and only served to prove to me that yes, that really horrible thing that happened in elementary school _had_ been noted in my “permanent record.” Toward the end of grad school, as I was beginning my job search, one of my professors told us all in class that if we had waived our rights to see the recommendations we got upon applying to grad school, that we should never ever do that again. I mentioned to her after class that I had done so, and wished I hadn’t now so I’d know which of those people to continue using as references. She offered to take a look for me (not show me), and indeed came back and said there was one person I shouldn’t continue using. Not that she’d said anything outright bad about me, just that the faint praise was sort of deafening. ---

Mostly it’s the writing. the rest in kinda of lame or so over the top as to be cartoon-y.
