The Outdoorsman

Posted 03.30.2005 by Svendowney (20)
I know he won't really give a shit (pun intended), so I'm going to go ahead and write about it: my cousin Alex has some sort of ritualistic fetish with pooping out of doors.

I'm not talking about outhouses or port-a-johns -- I'm talking about the in-the-middle-of-some-field-wiping-with-grass-or-leaves kind of thing.

It all started one day last summer. We were at Reservoir Number Two, our favorite fishing hole. Reservoir Two, in the backwoods half of Peters Township, is a big Army Corps lake that feeds into Waterdam and then Canonsburg lake. Reservoir Two is little known because it can't be seen from the main roads and there are no signs for it. When I was in high school, it was a good place to go party and create havoc and mayhem at night because it is secluded and woodsy. In the summer, Alex and I can usually be found most afternoons on the earthen dam, trying for largemouth bass, yellow bullhead catfish, or yellow perch. We invariably fish until darkness precludes our ability to see what the heck we are doing.

One July afternoon around 5:00, Alex casually comes up to me and asks, "Hey man, what time are we leaving?"

I looked at him like he had a dancing walrus on his head.

"Um, when it gets dark?" I said, still not believing he would have asked such a stupid question.

"Okay, cool, just checking," he said and turned to walk away. He took about four steps, and spun back around. "Because I gotta poop really bad!" he said pleadingly.

"Really?" I asked, smartastically. "Sucks to be you, dude!"

He was apparently hoping I would volunteer to drive him to a toilet. Obviously, this did not happen.

About five minutes passed and he started walking over the hillside.

"Where are you going?" I asked, knowing full well the answer, just wanting to hear him say it.

"To poop."

"I see. Hmmmm... Where you gonna do that?"

"I'm thinking about finding a nice, shady tree," he answered.

"Cool, have fun!"

"Thanks."

"Hey, Spanky, out of curiosity, what are you going to wipe with?" (I just had to know.)

"Well..." He already had it all thought out. "If it's dry, probably nothing. But if I really have to, I'm thinking maybe my socks."

I laughed him out of sight.

He returned a few moments later, walking as if he was lighter than air.

"Everything come out okay?" I asked, grinning.

"Yup."

"How'd the wiping go?"

"Dude, I found these really cool leaves, man. They were all sandpapery..."

(Pausing to regain my composure.)

So this became somewhat of a tradition. Every day we went fishing, not only would he have to poop, but he'd do it beside the same tree, using the same sandpapery leaves. He would tell me if his old poop was still there or not. Maybe it had turned white.

Some days he just couldn't force one out. Then he would mope around dejectedly.

Another time we were fishing on the other side of the lake, on the other dam between the small and large lakes. We were close to the Center Church parking lot. It was getting dark and we were packing up our gear.

"We leaving soon?" he asked.

"About five minutes," I replied.

"I'm gonna poop."

"You can't wait?"

"I don't want to. It's okay, I'm just gonna go here," he said reassuringly.

"There's a port-a-john about thirty feet up the trail towards the lot..." I started.

"I'm just gonna go right here."

"On the trail? Are you nuts? What if someone comes jogging or something?"

"I'll be quick."

"Why don't you use the port-a-john? At least there's paper. There aren't even any leaves here..." But he wasn't listening.

I packed up and found him stuffing fistfuls of long grass down the back of his shorts in a feeble wiping effort.

"Aaaaaaaah!" he yelled as we started walking back to my truck.

"What?" I asked, not really wanting to know the answer.

"Uh, oh... (pause) Oh, thank God."

"What? What's up?" the suspense was driving me crazy.

"Something ran down my leg, and I thought it was some poop, but it was just a blade of grass."

We went camping with Steve and Robin. Hiking a trail up in the Alleghenies, Alex stopped behind a boulder to pinch a loaf. He wouldn't let us take his picture. If he did you could bet your ass it would appear right about...

...here.

So Alex and I are spending an afternoon fishing on the Allegheny River. Nothing is biting, so we spend the time throwing rocks at each other, trying to see who can soak the other one worse from the splashes, or, better yet, make him lose his balance and fall in. A battle I completely won, by the way. So I say I have to poop. Immediately, I am Alex's hero. I go over to a downed tree and build a makeshift seat. By this time, I've even begun to carry around an emergency roll of toilet paper, just for Alex.

Nothing... stage fright.

Of course, it didn't help that Alex was intermittently cheering me on and throwing rocks at me.

Yeah, no thanks. Gimme my Ferguson, a full roll of two-ply, some sani-wipes, and my magazine rack. Alex, the woods are all yours.

I just finished exploding in my toilet.

Valiant effort. Some entertaining moments lost due to lack of going beyond the first draft.

Don't catfish eat shit?

Marcos (not verified) -- 03.30.2005

man that would piss me off if someone was throwing rocks at me when I was trying to drop a deuce

The Big Wiper (2240) -- 03.30.2005

I enjoyed this, Svendowney. It had the feel of a two-man, off-Broadway play or the script of an Indy film at Sundance. I even liked your conclusion. Wonder who in Hollywood would be ideal to play these two parts? I think it would take the light touch: I nominate Jim Carrey for Alex and Adam Sandler for you.

ThreePly (not verified) -- 03.30.2005

Yeah, your friend Alex sounds like a dick. That's okay though. Guys need a friend who's a real dick like that sometimes.

i did that on a hill then people saw me

The Man with the Golden Buns (not verified) -- 03.30.2005

Um, hello? Where's the story?

Pill Pooper (451) -- 03.30.2005

I like the idea of the story although it was a bit of a tough read due to how it was written. I think it was written in more of a conversational way instead of the normal way we see things on PR.

Good story none the less. If my buddy threw rocks at me while I was crapping, I'd slap him in the face with wiping hand.

The Shit Volcano (3646) -- 03.30.2005

I agree with Marcos. If the fucker was throwing rocks at you he deserved to accidentally wipe with poison oak.

Logjam (2356) -- 03.30.2005

My read of Alex is not that he's developed some "ritualistic fetish," but that he's reveling in a new sense of freedom -- In the woods, he no longer needs any special equipment. But I do find myself wondering why you have taken to carrying around toilet paper for him. Is it your truck you drive out there in?

poopartyperson (not verified) -- 03.30.2005

Hey everybody! I just painted the bowl with ass chili!!!

Obi-Dung Kenobi (112) -- 03.30.2005

So. What.

This report was pretty slapdash and needs some revision in the way of rising/falling plot. You almost tricked me into believing something might HAPPEN.

Why is your cousin asking when you're going home a "stupid question"? I've been fishing and stayed after dark numerous time.

You could have left out about 20 lines of pointless dialogue without any impact to this story. Except it would be marginally more interesting. Maybe.

Don't hold your breath waiting for a response from Reader's Digest if you're considering submitting this stagnant, floating turd of a tale, the most exciting element of which was an errant grass blade escaping from your cousin's trousers.

I just fed the toilet a big meal. I had to go since early afternoon, didn't really feel like using the dirty port-a-johns at work. I respect my young ass more than that! Good thing I bought a bathroom plunger last weekend. It got it's first workout today.

The Shit Volcano (3646) -- 03.30.2005

Poor thing.

Construction Worker - TOILETS can get constipated as well as human beings.

SamDamnit (1191) -- 03.31.2005

That was a let down.

SamDamnit (1191) -- 03.31.2005

Here is an outdoor poop story worth reading.

My friend Ben and I used to go camping on his father's land, when we were younger. Some where around 1986, we went with a bunch of our friends. I was the resident druggy at the time, so it was up to me to bring the pot and what ever else I could scrounge up. What I scrounged up, was some acid. Alot of the friends that came along, were Young Life types. So, Ben and I were the only two to take the acid. I don't think I had ever done hallucinogens in the woods before. It was a great experience. There was grazing land around there, so we communed with the cows and decided that they were buddhists. I spent about an hour under a tree that had caterpillars raining down from it. I covered myself with them and revelled in the feeling of life squirming all over me. As the day turned to night, the acid got a little less intense and our crazy day became more relaxed. We joined our friends at the camp fire and extolled the virtues of LSD to our unreceptive audience. We ate sausges and bread until we felt satiated. As the twilight turned to star light, Ben and I decided that we had to take a shit. Being some thing of a shameful shitter at the time, I was prepared to go in to the woods and hide my foulness from the rest of the world. Ben would have nothing of it. He insisted that we shit under the stars. We hiked for a bit until finding a lovely pasture with a few cows in it. The star light was amazing. The grass seemed to glow and the cows seemed more zen-like than before. We had selected our smooth rocks for wiping and we each dropped trou and squatted about 2 yards from each other. The pressure in my bowels was immediately released, when two firm logs breached and plopped on to the ground. There was no sound to take away from the crickets and cow munching. I turned my head toward Ben, to see that he had a huge grin on his face. Just behind him was a cow. I noticed that she was dropping some plops at the same time. Ben turns to me and says "Sam, I've never done exstasy but I bet it is a lot like taking a shit on acid in a field with zen-cows".

Having done extasy before, I said "No, Ben. This is much better".

SamDamnt!:

Thats deep.

SamDamnit (1191) -- 03.31.2005

Perhaps I will submit it, but they did not accept my last one, which I thought was pretty good.

Tronald Dump (not verified) -- 03.31.2005

SamDamnit: What a shame to waste that story in the comments section. You were right it was much better than the posted story. WEll told, funny, nostalgic, and almost touching (amazing for a shit story!). Keep writing, and keep submitting!

SamDamnit (1191) -- 03.31.2005

Thank you, Donald. That is encouraging. I am a big fan of this site and most of the writers that are on it.

wonderpance (504) -- 03.31.2005

i actually kind of liked the conversational style of the story. i could picture the dialogue between the writer and his cousin, and it made me giggle. oh well. diffrent strokes, eh?

i also liked your story, samdamnit! especially the zen cows.

The Shit Volcano (3646) -- 04.01.2005

Samdamnit, I am curious. Where did you think of your name? I laugh every time I see it.

SamDamnit (1191) -- 04.01.2005

I have a tendency to get kicked off of the "myspace" social networking site. After the second time, I came back angry and used my name as a statement. Being the sort of cranky bastard that I am, it seemed to suit me. Now people that I know in real life call me that.

<----Poop----on----a----Stick----> (not verified) -- 04.01.2005

wow!.. i fricking love this site... you people are awesome!

The Shit Volcano (3646) -- 04.01.2005

That's great! Knew there was a good story behind that one. Thanks for sharing, Samdamnit.

Rectal Inversion (not verified) -- 04.02.2005

Samdamnit, sounds good. I've never done acid before but have done MDMA a few times with very pelasing results. I have also tripped on mushrooms 3 times, hard, whew! but acid sounds like a good balance between the two. Good acid that is. I know full well the impact surroundings play on perceived experience, and crapping with the cows must have been very good. Alas, all my shroom hunting trips I had to be wary of the asshole bull in the field.
X is good in moderation, as are all things. good poop story, I give it 5 wipes!

SamDamnit (1191) -- 04.02.2005

I feel sort of bad for posting my own story in the comments for some one elses, but the title made me think of my own experience and I felt some what let down by the original story. I have submitted mine to Dave and I think it may get posted as a featured story. If and when that happens, I am sure that I will get plenty of negative reviews. Perhaps Svendowney can post a better story in my comments. I must say that I am thrilled at the idea of having my story posted in the same place as my favorite poop reporters. I have become a big fan of this site and check it every day.

Hey I'm from the Burgh too! Great reading a story from my neck of the woods

let me know when i should laugh.

bone33 (not verified) -- 05.18.2005

Its a small world isn't it? I live about 2 miles from that lake. thats the one on North Spring Valley road... LOL ive fished there for years and we used to party out there long ago, before they made a park out of it, you could drive your car on that old road/trail. I have taken quite a few dumps out there as well as drank many beers. Nice story, it brings back lots of memories.
