POOPOO I stay up all night every night now, for months. After the sun has come up, a few hours later I feel okay to drift off into those little slices of death we call sleep. I force out an impressive stool from my rear and smile. This means I'm HEALTHY. Ever notice how every single time you excrete, whether it be a #1 or #2 or something inbetween, you have to look at it. You have to stare back at that porcelain throne, and glare at the glorious mounds of waste you created. I don't know if this is just animal instinct.. if we are checking for some discoloring in the pee or inconsistency in the poo, or maybe its more than that. A friend of mine once described to me, a toilet-top manuever he called THE SCORPION. He explained that when having a hard time passing a sizable log, he would simply reach down (while still sitting over the driving wheel) and grab his ankles on either side, pulling them upward fiercely. This would arch his back and flex the gluteus, naturally assisting the bowel movement on its journey. I responded to him saying, Oh yeah.. the Scorpion.. yeah.. i do that sometimes O_O;;; Of course I had not. So upon returning home, I rushed to the bathroom, locked the door and began the experiment. With a turd halfway out of my ass, giggling like a schoolgirl, I reached down and grabbed my ankles. In theory one did not consider the stability factors involved in such motions, but when I pulled up on my ankles, arching my back, and thusly executing a flawless Scorpion; I found myself falling forward toward the bathroom floor with a grand bowel movement making a hasty exit from my posterior. This was not good. Being quite tall paid off cosmically as I reached out and pushed off the wall, forcing my body to the sitting position again and looking down I was proud to see that the Scorpion had been successfully employed. A nice, newly birthed Zentraedi ship beamed back at me from the glimmering waters below, and I carefully decorated it with white sails before violently blasting it to bits with my powerful pee/laser beam. I have to admit I almost felt remorse as I watched its spiral decent into its watery grave. Many times I have asked my roomates to come look at one of my big-brown-sharks in the sea of doom, but they have always declined to this very day, and refer to it as- "a locke thing". -L0cke April 12 / 2000
