The 2006 Poop Report of the Year
What really made the stories below stand out is that they can be described in one word: epic. These stories are like the fabled two-foot bowl curler, or the fart that shakes the windows, or the poop that reeks so awfully that the stench resides on your nosehairs for three days. You don't forget them, and you can (and often do) recount them in vivid detail to your friends. They come back to you when you find yourself in not-so-funny situations, and help you laugh through them. Many PoopReporters may find themselves aspiring to write more stories like these.
I daresay, though, that if every story could be called epic, these would still stand out. Some of these PoopReporters went out of their way to bring us these fine stories. Some of these PoopReporters disappeared from the public (brown) eye for a few months, only to reintroduce themselves with a spellbinding tale they had no doubt been working on for some time. Others recount situations so unimaginably hilarious that we can't believe they could really happen -- but we have to believe them because only a real experience could be so fantastically written.
Ultimately, with the help of some other fine PoopReporters and feedback from the forums, I've gotten the list down to six nominees. Here they are, in no particular order. (Write-in votes for Bilgepump can go in the comments section.)
- Beauty and the Beast by Bunga Din
- One Day in 1963 by Logjam
- The Quest for Austin's Nastiest Toilet by SamDamnit!
- Get Out Of Mommy's Way by Motherload
- The Weekend That Wasn't by The Dumpster
- Through A Vaseline Jar, Darkly by Logjam

There can only be one winner. But that doesn't mean we can't all feel good -- and that there can't be some honorable mentions. Maybe that foot-long hot dog with which you clogged the bowl wasn't the most spectacular turd ever, but it was still pretty damn good. So here are some other stories that made a, um, splash in 2006:
- Best Gigantic Nature Poop
The Dedicated Camper by Canada Mike - Best Family Bonding Moment
The Three Handymen by Anomalous Coward - Best Byproduct of Unnaturally Nasty Food
In-Laws' Meatballs by Doniker - Best Customer Service by Going Above and Beyond the Call of Doodie
Lucky Day At The Borgata by Craptacular - Best Poop in an Alley by Someone You Wouldn't Expect to Poop in Alleys
My Only Public Poop by The Big Wiper - Best Disgusting Coworker that Makes You Hate Your Slightly Less Disgusting Coworkers a Bit Less
Helen's Gift To Me by sinkthefloater
Thanks to every PoopReporter who submitted a story in 2006. Looking forward to more in 2007!

Ummm, I like poop? I'm not good at these bio things. They always come out sounding stupid. I'm a moderator on the main site and forums, so if you're making scat fetish posts, or really stupid ones, I'll probably be deleting them.

Wow, talk about a tough choice. Even though I remembereed them all, I went back and read them all this morning anyway. Classic, one and all.
I vote for Logjam's Vaseline story. Not only is it the best, but it also has what is possibly the best comment on a story - Bunga Din's deep analysis of Zeppelin lyrics. Nothing like busting out a one-finger bag and listening to "Stairway to Heaven" over and over again.
I too voted for LogJam but my choice was One Day in 1963. So many elements in this story were hilarious as well it's educational and in my opinion the best written story of the year. This line of LogJam's "this one played charmer to the snake in my basket, beckoning it to emerge and sway to and fro" had me in tears, I can just see some Indian Fakir sitting cross legged on the roof of the school playing his pungi and poor Logjam squirming as his own snake seeks freedom. WELL DONE!
SamDamnit's search is by far the greatest length any of us except Dave has gone for a poopreport and also deserves special mention by bringing over 60,000 people to the site to see what he saw.
This past year has seen some of the best Poopreports ever, I used to say to other regulars "I miss Mastercrapper, G Ras and Chip Brown, their stories were the best", but I think if we look back at the past year so many of these stories are better than the non geniuses of yesterday, the overall quality of Poopreports has gone up, sure The OLD MASTERS as I call the above still are great but PoopReporting has improved and we are all luckier for it. Good work all!
I voted for Dumpster's ruined weekend. One of the funniest stories I've read on the site. However, when he wrote it he seemed really horny. =/

log of hazzard writes: "However, when (Dumpster) wrote it, he seemed really horny."
As opposed to when that he doesn't? It's one of his more consistent traits. And this was definitely one of his best efforts.

TBW, I resemble that remark!
Since I didn't pick the nominees this time, I feel that I can weigh in without biasing the results. I think that Logjam's Vaseline story is one of the best I've ever read. 1963 was spectacular as well, but this one truly is everything a poop report can strive to be. Unfortunately, unless Logjam has a Myspace fanbase that he can call in, it looks like Sam's Myspace fanbase will be the deciding factor.
I voted for Dumpster's weekend sex story. I read each story very carefully (at work, which turned out to be a mistake) and actually had to excuse myself to the bathroom after reading the line about "iceberg dead ahead" because my attempt to stiffle my laughing sounded more like I was trying (and failing) to hold in a particularly nasty fart. Well done Dumpster!

Bad kitty! Bathtubs are NOT litterboxes!
Gotta go with the Vaseline story. All are great however, and worthy to win.
I would also go with the vaseline story, if I were not in the running.
Having said that, I think it is important for you to all know, that I promise to end the war in Iraq, if I am elected.
I am also willing to offer each and every one that supports me, a no-bid government contract.

Wow! It was a hard choice this year. I loved the 1963 story, and Dumpster and Bunga's stories both made me laugh like hell. But I had to go with SamDamnit's heroic quest in the end. He posted, by far, the most popular story on the Internet at the time and certainly the only story on PR that led to a major computer jam. He has to get some credit for that!

If a man farts and no one's around, does he make a sound?
I found Jesus! He was behind the sofa the whole time!
I had to go with LJ and the vaseline as well...the visuals in my head for that story have scarred me for life...not that that's a bad thing.

So I got honorable mention and I was so proud that I sent the link to my Mom. Now she is really going to think I am messed up. I can here her now "He's writing about poop? What's the matter with him."
Floater, I know the feeling. However, my mom has been a big proponent of my poop reporting. She does not bring it up at dinner parties, but sh has posted comments on a few of my stories.

I cast my vote for 1963. While all of the stories were well written and very entertaining, 1963 stands out in my memory. The imagery as awesome, stimulating all of my senses ...and my sensibilities. All of the elements seemed believable. Even the picture bit had me wondering where the picture actually came from and not how LJ managed to spin a yarn around it.
Most of all, it spoke to me. It reminded me of Dr. Pepper incident in Forrest Gump. It reminded me that, to your ordinary Joe Schmo, there are more important and pressing matters in the world than great people and great events.
I will say that Mommy's Way by ML was a close second for me. I liked the use of foreshadowing and the build up of the tension. I wanted to read about the devastation and emotional scars from the intersection of Mommy's IBS and Mommy's little darling. Who didn't?
The real hook though was that the daughter didn't get painted. I admired that ML didn't make me feel small for expecting her to crap all over the kid. It's not even that, though. The real strength was that ML didn't rub my nose in it for actually believing that I was about to read that she crapped all over her kid before she would crap on herself. Therein lies the true beauty of this parable: while it's okay be selfish enough to take the kid off of the pot, it's never okay to shit on the kid.
Yo quiero Taco Bell.
Hmm, this is a toughie. I liked One Day in 1963, butI thought Get Out of Mommy's Way was a riot, so I voted for Get Out of Mommy's Way.
I read all of these stories, and fully enjoyed all of them. These stories are certainly great picks for 2006 Poop Report of the year.

"Two percent of the population think; three percent of the population think they think, and 95 percent of the population would rather die than think."
Ah, these are all winners within winners, each brilliant for their own unique reasons, but Deja Poo's last comment is actually pretty much how my voting process went.
The day in 1963 with it's wonderful wording and the fortuitous photo had me crying and spluttering with laughter (my dog was worried if I was all right) The photo/flashbulb drawing joke was hilarious and the security guard in the front seat of the car detecting the otherwise stealthy safety valve fart had me gasping between guffaws (really, go look at that photo again!)
Great work one and all. It's a shame to have to pick just one master-piece-of-shit! The honorable mentions were excellent as well. And last but not least, AB2K's lead up article was eloquently voiced.

Sam's comment about his mother not bringing up his poop reporting at dinner parties brings up an interesting aside. Again.
I would really not expect that she would serve poop reports on toast points. In fact, I wonder how many of us avoid discussion of our bowel habits while we are eating.
It reminds me of a poll put up way back when about taking something to eat into the bathroom while doing #2.
I think perhaps even the most Shameless among us try to keep those areas of our lives officially separated verbally and in real time, even though we know they are physiologically connected in an intimate way.
Does this seem reasonable to everyone?

I just noticed Dave included me in his article...thats pretty funny, but I really didn't write anything "PoopReport", worthy this year...I was pushing hard as a darkhorse write-in candidate for "Poop Reporter" of the year, only because anything I submitted this past year was shitty...kind of had a nice symmetry, if ya smell what the Bilge is cookin'.

Oh Bilge . . .
I wrote the article, buttpipe.
*slaps Bilge upside the head*
Congratulations, Sam. It is most fitting that one of the most-viewed PR stories of all time wins the prize.
Such an honor to be included in this contest. Thanks AB2K, and everybody who voted for me. The one who should be the proudest, though, is Motherload. As I keep telling Daphne, #2 is the real post of honor here on PR!
So there you have it. The masses have spoken. I don't quite agree with the results -- Sam's was a great article, but not a literary masterpiece like Logjam's -- but I'm too busy to go in and doctor the results like most of you probably suspect that I do most of the time anyway. So there you have it. Congratulations, Sam! Looking forward to your road map to world peace.
Congrats Sam! I mentioned yours would be a tough one to beat in the forums and of course I was right. To LogJam, GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!!! To Motherload and Dumpster, great stories, I know we'll be getting more from you this year and hope they are as great as the others you've contributed.
First of all, I would like to thank God, who obviously abandoned that portable potty behind Emo's, and made my story possible. Secondly, I would like to thank my myspace friends for reading all my stories, and for bringing out the vote.
Mine was not a literary masterpiece, like the others in this contest. I am humbled to be in the presence of such fine writing. Mine was an investigative piece that should perhaps have been compared to others of it's kind. In any case, I would like to thank Bunga, Jammy, Loady and Dumpy for entertaining and inspiring me through out the year.
My Mom raised me to have a bent sense of humor, and to be really nosey, so my heartfelt thanks go out to her.
Lastly, I would like to thank Mary Mary for putting up with my online antics and for letting me drag her around the city to look at poopy toilets.

One could say that Sam's article may have provided the most benefit to the site because it caused more hits and created more potential PR'ers. It certainly was the most popular piece.
