Brown can distract you from work, that's for sure. Because it's time for another trip into the PoopReport mailbag. But first: if anyone ever accuses you of wasting your time on this site, here's proof that your work is for the betterment of humanity. Congratulations, Daphne: you've been cited!

And if anyone ever says PoopReport doesn't hook you up, here's proof that we do -- well, if you live in LA, that is. Remember Le Petomane, the movie? They're doing a screening at Comics with Cameras in Hollywood on November 2 and 6. There's a $10 cover, but any PoopReporter who wants to go should get in touch with me and I'll get you in touch with the filmmaker who will give you a VIP pass (although you still have a $10 drink minimum). If you can't make it, you can learn a lot more about Le Petomane on their site. I've seen it, and believe me: the whole movie is as good as the clip they posted for us promises it is.

Moving on: if you've got insomnia, maybe you've seen the infomercials with that freaky colon cleansing guy. Larfus sends in an in-depth analysis of the creepiest man to ever discuss his daughter's poop on national television.

And more. From Kelly: Confessions of a gum swallower. From Crapola: brocolli, and the reason your water bill is so high. From Sam: travel bathroom stories, an expose on rodents and their anal sphincters, Tasmanian devils and their poop, and sandy toilet paper. From Paglia: the deal with recycled toilet paper. From Nate: the pseudo-rap video "How To Make Poop." From Scatoman: the best typo ever. And from Meth Oozalaa: discovering something about a friend you don't want to learn.

Listen to this new song from DBLF Studios, the team who did the Poop For Peace song: it's Binge Shrartin'!

Ah, Arnold. How many links did you hook us up with this time? Thanks to him, we've got the bathroom etiquette video, the babies and fathers video, a toilet cake, the fart bear, the Great Austrian Fart Survey, the lightning bolt to the anus, the 2007 dog poop calendar, the laxative prison break, and the poop museum exhibit. Are there any PoopReporters in Miami who can go to that for us?

I got this in email: "hey man i have a bad ass song that you should hear and probably put on the website. its called poop salad and its just really stupid but awesome." Intrigued? Uh, sure. Go to Swedish Deathmetal's MySpace page and listen.

Now this is great. A short film by Michel Gondry (Science of Sleep, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) starring himself and David Cross, about the bond between a man and his poop. Well worth your time.

Also great is this comic from Explosm.

And finally, just about everyone has expressed shock, amusement, outrage, or all three at the kids' toilet Halloween costume. Will it make the kid the hit of the party, or scar him for life?
