I bought an extra large tub of Thai Salad from Superstore today and have been consuming it all day. At around six o’clock, as I was preparing to leave, I began to process it. Or vent it, rather.
Now this is the single weirdest smell I have ever had leave me. Silent, like a shadow, but with all the impact of a wrecking ball. It had the strange petulance of that smell you experience when you drive past liquid road tar in the summer. But there was more to it than that, there was a mocking minty fresh tinge as well.
It was quite shockingly the most definitively inorganic odor I have ever experienced. (Once I hit the bitter cold they came to resemble a really lusty chili, but I’m still frightened by it’s unnatural connotations.)
At the same time, the only other description that might do it justice implies something inherently alive and emphasizes the tragedy of it’s passing. As I was bending over to do up my shoes, it occurred to me that an equally descriptive passage as the horrors of producing something inorganic would be to say that little beings live in my ass and when they die an incredibly horrible death they want everyone to know. I think I’ll call this fart my Martyr Fart.
The best part of the night was as I was changing my clothing, when I felt a welling of intestinal fury deep inside of me and quickly ran to the bathroom (so as not to soil the walls of my room). Well, I left my foul masterpiece lingering in the bathroom air and casually sauntered out (probably a few pounds heavier since I was no longer quite so bouyant). When I got to my room and I turned around to see – and I’m completely serious – Buckles – oh, the brave little beagle Buckles – barking into the bathroom.
Now first of all, the feat of getting this lazy little bastard off the downstairs couch is a wonder unto itself, but as I was standing there in delighted shock I could not quite tell if he was barking a warning that we should flee the house or if he felt he was keeping something cornered in the bathroom.
He was still very brave, I have to admit. I remember my last dog, Spotty (don’t ask what she did to warrant that name) as a puppy. The first time she farted she whipped her head around and barked sharply at her hienie, just in case it was going to once again try something without her orders.
So, share and share alike. What of your farts so amazing that you had to name them. I remember this one fart I called The Vibrator, so awful I felt like an inmate for a few seconds.
