I've had a rough couple of weeks at work -- the busiest thus far in my 2+ years at this company. Finally, finally, things are calming down and I've taken a few days off. As I write this, I'm about to board a plane to head back home. But while I'm waiting, I'm working again -- only this time, I'm working for you. Open inbox, pull lever. Flush.

For instance, Poozen sent an email that makes me mourn the demise of Poopisms (and begin hoping there's an heir to the throne!): "If poo was not meant to be magnificent than God would not have gave all living creatures the ability to poo. Poo is a great unifier; the poo of the Wiseman looks, smells, and tastes more or less the same as the poo of the village idiot. The more we learn about our poo, the more we learn about ourselves. In fact, it is foolish to judge a man until you have seen a mile of his poo. Learn more about poo at Poozen, a vast resource of inspirational, insightful and enlightening proverbs of poo. Poo on."

Jamie says: "I have created the best lip balm ever, and it just happens to be called Chicken Poop. When one would complain of dry lips, my grandpa used to joke about rubbing chicken poop on your lips so you wouldn't lick them. Look at ILoveChickenPoop.com -- Walgreens nationwide, sales the poop out of it."

Arnold says: "Your original post about panda poop has a follow up." He also sends in links. Like plumbers' art. Like the doggie poop tent. A video of an infrared fart. 20 years of single-ply. Flatulence-free sprouts. A song from Scrubs. Inflatable potties. Thanks to Arnold, we now know that Barbie's new dog poops. And ladies: finally you've got a feminine way to deal with bird poop.

Jesse says: "Just wanted to send you an email saying, THANKS! After reading your review of the GoBidet, I bought one and now can't ever imagine not using one. I was recently inspired to shoot a video of me installing our second gobidet."

Steve says: "I'm a big fan of PoopReport. I've been reading for a year or so. I'd like to post a story, but I just don't have anything to write about. Anyway, have you seen this video? It's described as a fart, but anyone who's ever farted in the tub knows this is much more..." (Dave says: Careful. Not entirely safe for work, or for anyone who thinks poop is gross.)

Crapola says: "Note that, based on the heel prints on the rug, Santa will be pooping!"

Arnold was among the many over the holiday season who sent in the story about the fancy Times Square toilets. Poopergal remarks: "Maybe there is a small story in the fact that they're supposed to be temporary. They're there until six PM on New Year's Eve (Charmin leased the space until then). The report doesn't say whether they'll donate the setup to the city, or whether the city will buy the site and keep it, but it sounds like Charmin will just pack the thing up and leave. That seems sort of shabby: getting locals used to having classy, free restrooms (and a plush waiting area with amenities), and then having them yanked -- on New Year's Eve of all times. When better to have Times Square potty access? It's kind of like Cinderella's carriage at midnight: suddenly, everyone is forced to take a crap in a pumpkin."

Danny Gerling tells us about a brawl over bathroom hygiene. Samdamnit sends the golf course toilet fence. Ghostlight gives us video of a firecracker in a toilet. Paul wants us to look at his blog Poopie Place and the book Don't Eat Your Poopies! Chuck's got Miss Pasture Pattie, this best of Craigslist, and the Toilet Seat King of San Antonio. Debbie from Yuckos has created the Pooper Scooper Cookbook ("Recipes for people & our best friends, too...!"). Arrrgh4life gives us a song he wrote. Greg likes Roto-Rooter's pimped out toilet. An escaped chimp cleans a bathroom. And Dung Bat found a poem.

Like any good public relations guy, Eric knows that we'll post corporate shill when they ask us nicely. "You're probably already aware of this book, but just in case, here you go: How to Shit Around the World: The Art of Staying Clean and Healthy While Traveling by Jane Wilson-Howarth and Kathleen Meyer."

Leigh writes: "I came across your site while doing some research for my business. We invented and patented The FootPull -- for a lot of the reasons discussed on your site. We are now in restaurants, hospitals, schools and office buildings around the country and in Canada." The Hypnotube has a song for us: Going to the bathroom seemed like a good idea at the time. "I wrote and recorded it in 2002. I hadn't really thought of it as a poop-related song, but, I think it provides an appropriate soundtrack to that incredible Thanksgiving poop disaster story I just read on your page."

And finally, because I'm on crappy airport wireless, I can't follow these links to see what they are -- these come from people who didn't really describe them in their emails. Hopefully they're rad. There's this one this one, this one and this one from Arnold, and this one from Crapola and Scat-o-logical.
