They're actually health nuts, so it isn't dietary concerns.

And I don't know that I'd classify it as something terrible, just a bad smelling bathroom. When piss sits in a toilet all day, every day for years on end, I think it's pretty easy to see why the bathroom would reek of urine.

I just think it's weird. Flush the damn toilet and stop worrying about the 50 cents a month it will cost you on your water bill.

The other day I took a piss while my wife was behind the curtain taking a shower. She tells me, "Smells like you need to drink some water."

This brief story-lette does two things: it makes your wife sound like an amazing catch and you sound like a fellow who enjoys urinating in the same room as your wife.

That's actually really, really disgusting.

It sounds like a place that no Japanese person would want to visit, as their houses generally don't keep the toilet in the same room as the bathtub/shower because they consider it unsanitary. For the record: I flush for everything and sometimes more than once depending on what came out.

Listen, crazy man: when you order chicken do you also waste your time by getting the thigh? The breast is the most succulent piece there is. ScarJo's best ass-et is not her ass.



I'm with the Pete-bear here. Urine smells. Besides, when you take a multi-vitamin it leaves your urine quite dark. Let that sit and the porcelain stains. Not desirable. If it's yellow, please don't let it mellow.

That dark color is an indication of where most of your expensive multivitamin is going.

That's correct. Americans have some luxurious pee.

Product of the environment really...we were out of the country and in a tiny house. But yeah...I have no problem number oneing in her presence.

Which is a good question for the thread visitors. Gross, but good.

What are your feelings of bathroom business and your significant other?

I don't mind letting my wife know that I'm a urinator. She tends not to hide this from me, either. The other, more shameful end of waste management doesn't often go mentioned except in relation to the kids. Yesterday, I managed the neat trick of sneezing and farting at the exact same time. I had the brief urge to stop, turn around and try to blame someone else but went about my business. She had probably guessed years ago that I was capable of such a combination. The elevator moment came several hours later that, once again, I had let the opportunity to say "Who let the invisible duck out of the cage?" slip away.

Toilet business is something we don't particularly try to gloss over, but we still don't do it in front of each other. This is actually my doing; in my opinion, it's a miniature vacation that I go on by myself. It's for Independent Ken only. Relationship Ken can have whatever else he wants, but this is something that can never be taken away from Independent Ken without destroying him.

I'm posting this while sitting comfortably on a bench on the edge of the Dartmouth Green. I work so much that it's pretty easy to forget how nice of a place Hanover is. This is one of those days where I've been able to slow down a bit, and I'm grateful for that.

Is it true that, if you apply to Harvard, Yale and/or Princeton and get rejected, they automatically give you acceptance to Dartmouth in a letter enclosed with the rejection letter? That's really nice of them!

I never applied to Harvard, Yale, or Princeton. Up here, we may be the smallest of the Ivies, but we're pretty awesome in our own way.

What's funny about this is that he's in the Navy and has been stationed in Japan for the last year. He comes back in October or November sometime and I can only hope that those Japanese customs have rubbed off on them.



There are no lines in our house. All of it is free game. At first I was a little apprehensive when I was dropping a deuce, but by now I can only not talk to her/look at her when it's the first turd. That's probably disgusting and nothing anyone EVER needed to know, but there it is anyway.

I will say it's rare that we talk while one of us is shitting. But, if we're in an important conversation, it does happen. I just need to get that first turd out before I can engage.

Oh man, Pete. You just totally quoted that recent Zac Efron movie.

Having recently seen above film...I cannot stop laughing right now.

I couldn't really do this- for me, some bodily functions need to be kept to the audience of one. Your post above made me think about this vid I stumbled across on YouTube a while back:

One of the last things you'd ever want to happen to yourself in public.

If one has friends who are comfortable when situations like this occur, then I can see the comfort level being there when taking a deuce in the same room.

Who else is seeing RiffTrax Live - Manos: The Hands of Fate tonight?

If a married man goes on holiday with his Wife and kids, his daily shit (if he's lucky enough to be a daily man) is his part of the holiday. Apart from sleep, that's what he looks forward to.

Too cynical?
