The End Of Fart Confidence

Posted 11.28.2005 by General Colon Pow (86)
It was a chilly autumn night and I had the farts. I don't know if it had anything to do with the ginger-peanut soup I'd had for dinner last night and this night, or with the spicy baked garbanzo bean snacks I was eating, but these were the nastiest farts I can remember doing -- ever! Oh, sure, they weren't the loudest I've ever done -- not even close -- nor were they the most voluminous, although they did saturate at least part of my living room with their stench rather quickly. But their strong, acrid, unusually sulphurous odor, coupled with the sheer frequency of output, made them special -- the kind of farts you remember for years, even though they wouldn't set records in any single category.

All the ingredients were there for a nice evening: the dogs were in bed and I was sitting on the couch listening to an audio cassette (cassettes... remember them?) and critiquing my farts. "Strong stench -- pewwww!" "Decent staying power. Not very loud, though; rather short." "This one gets a seven -- but only because of the sheer stench of it." The olfactory display was like the Fourth of July for my nose.

After a quick but intense barrage of farts (the olfactory equivalent of a mat of firecrackers), I noticed that my asshole kind of made a little "pucker" -- like one's asshole might after one shoots out some liquefied shit when taking a diarrhea. I thought the phenomenon rather odd, and was musing at how unusual such a feeling was to my asshole, as I shifted my position on the couch; and then the world stopped.

"Uh-ohh!!!" I felt the slightest sensation of something wet in the vicinity of the crack of my ass. Surely this could not be what I was starting to fear. In my entire life I had only really shat my pants once, when I was three. (Unfortunately, this is my most vivid memory from that age.) And I had only sharted myself once, years ago, when I was sick in bed -- and surely this could not be an incidence of sharting, as when I really did shart myself, I realized that I was sharting myself while my sphincter was still sphinctering, rather than discovering the suprising presence of wetness ex post facto.

No, this was just paranoia. Nothing to worry about. To prove it, I hoisted my keister a few inches off the couch cushion and swiped the ends of my fingers across the seat of my pants, right in the vicinity of the imaginary wetness. And then, putting my fingers to my nose, I inhaled -- and breathed a sigh of relief, because my fingers most assuredly did not smell like those of a three-year-old with an itchy ass, which is how they surely would have had any funk been residing in my boxers.

Ahh... the emergency is over. Nothing to worry about. I blew another fart: another seven. No... wait. This one could be an eight -- what a stench! And it was longer and louder than the previous one -- it had to earn a higher score! I sampled my fingers again, just to reassure myself... no. They don't smell at all like doodie. But wait... they do kinda smell like my farts -- ahh, maybe it's just from the spices in the garbanzo beans having rubbed off on them. Yes, that makes perfect sense: the garbanzos were causing me to fart like a mad bomber, and my fingers smelled similar to the farts because I had been using them to eat the crunchy baked garbanzo beans. Nothing to worry about here. The General can distinguish between flatulence and defecation a mile away!

I leaned over slightly to adjust the controls on my portable cassette player. Uh-oh -- there's that little feeling of wetness again. And a sinking feeling in my stomach.

OK. This was getting ridiculous. I was feeling like I did have to drop the Cosby Kids off at the pool anyway, so I may as well head to the porcelain shrine where I can check my shorts in the process, just to reassure myself that all is well.

I drop trou as I get ready to make my delivery of sausage to the Italian deli. And I just glance at my boxers, almost casually. Hah, there's nothi -- uhhhh. What's that?

No!

That's it. It's all over. I have been demoted to the ranks of the mere mortal. There it is, right in the middle of my shorts: a 3D skidmark. I have officially sharted myself, without even realizing it. And it was so subtle. I was sitting in my own filth for who-knows-how-long, to the point where the specimen of feces living in my shorts had cooled like week-old lava. Surely the next step in this scenario of degeneration will be Depends!

I took a diarrhea (not really the watery kind -- more like soft-serve ice cream. Call it Tom Carvel meets Thomas Crapper), cleaned my gluteus maximus thoroughly (even though the damage miraculously seemed limited to my shorts), and changed. I guess, technically, I've crapped my pants as an adult now. Now I know how the other half lives.

The very worst part of this incident: for the rest of the night, I kept feeling the wonderful urge to fart -- a pleasure which has become all too rare in recent years -- but, as a result of having sharted myself and having stained a practically new pair of boxers (of course something like this would never happen if one were wearing old shorts), I, General Colon Pow -- the guy who LIVES to fart -- had become PARANOID! I was afraid to fart! Me -- the guy who wouldn't hold 'em in if he had an audience with the Pope -- was holding them in!

The lyrics to Kenny Rogers' The Gambler started playing in my mind: "You gotta know when to hold 'em / know when to fold 'em / know when to walk away ... when the dealing's done." Ah, if only it were that easy. My confidence in blasting out no-holds-barred farts will never be the same. From this day forward I shall always have doubts, like the wavering nine year-old, standing by the cupboard where the peanut-butter is kept, knife in hand and bread on the plate, pausing to ponder the eternal question: "Smooth? Or chunky style?"

Wow! First post...

I liked "The olfactory display was like the Fourth of July for my nose."

Logjam (2442) -- 11.28.2005

General. Thanks for the blow-by-blow account. (Actually, it was a blow-by, blow-by-blow account.) I trust that like all great generals, you'll get right back on the horse and ride with confidence, despite the fact that you'll probably be thrown again. Such is life.

Splatterbuns (70) -- 11.28.2005

Great story. It brought back fond memories of some of my own great fart moments, none of which, fortunately, involved shitting myself.

Tom Carvel vs Thomas Crapper was on ESPN Classic last week.I am looking forward to Cookie Puss vs Fudgie the Whale.Remember the famous words of Who Flung Dung "Never trust a fart."

Di Uhreea (410) -- 11.28.2005

I know all about the loss of confidence when farting. I was sick a while ago and sharted quite a few times.
When it happens unexpectedly like that, you'll never be the same.
Farting isn't fun anymore. It's dangerous!

SamDamnit (1192) -- 11.28.2005

Good story. I like nothing better than to sit soaking in my anal miasma. The shock and awe of sharting one's self, would certainly put a pamper on the event.

Talk about DENIAL... It ain't just a river in Egypt, pal. If you'd just accepted the truth sooner, you wouldn't have been marinated in shart for the whole stinkin' evening. Funny story, General Pow.

The phantom shart, similar to the phantom fart only much more newsworthy, let me shake your hand....on second thought....Great story and love the moniker General Colin POW!, and in this case KABLAMM as well.

daphne (3607) -- 11.28.2005

Excellent narrative, General! And, man, what a varied diet you have. You are alot like me. But, I do not fart like you do. I leave that up to Gator, who does quite well.

Someday we should get the dogs together and let them stinkeroo.

It was a chilly autumn night and I had the farts.

Perhaps the greatest first line in literary history. Nice work.

Thanks, all! All these great comments made writing the story worthwhile!

good story. although i never heard the expression "take a diarrhea" before

Nicely written. Dense & concentrated farts are the best. Kiddies, don't let your Fart Ego get too big.

I don't know how many things I knew for sure in life last night but the fact that I would NEVER shit myself as an adult was one of them. I've read poop report for several years now and chortled arrogantly at the stories you weaklings told about shitting yourselves in various situations. That it would ever happen to me wasn't even an issue. It would never happen to me.. until last night. It wasn't anything dramatic. No exiting, suspensful build up. No "will he make it to the toilet" drama. Nothing like that. It was dissapointingly simple. Mexican cassarole for dinner leading later that night to a series of increasingly horrible farts. I felt what I thought was going to be the "fart heard round the world" comming on and bent over slightly to let it out and maximize it's volume. It came out as a horrible as I thought, one for the ages in fact 5 or 6 seconds at least. At the end of the fart the diarrhea just snuck out, about a pint of what looked and smelled exactly as it had a few hours earlier in its former incarnation as Mexican cassarole. I was shocked. I couldn't have fought it- there was nothing to fight. It just came out riding the coat tails of a fart. I guess the moral is that no one can ever trust a fart. My arrogance is shattered. I have joined .the ranks of mortals

Hell, I've sharted a time or two-even left the occasional skid-and I still enjoy farting. Don't let 1 shart blow your confidence forever!!! It happens. At least you were home! I am a firefighter and I sharted once at a trailer fire-there was nothing I could do but carry on... No stainage though, it was just a little one, plus having a large ass doesn't hurt either! I'd stayed home from work that day with the screaming shits, so I should have known better than to try it anyway...

I love the description of the dense stench! I blasted one just like that a half hour ago. I swear, you could cut the cloud with a knife it was so concentrated!!! Holy f'ing shit it STANK! Like the most awful fart stink ever totally indescribable. It was so hot coming out I thought I'd singed my asshole.

P.s. Dave, I can logon the front page but the forums STILL won't let me on. I even replaced my computer.

Courier (not verified) -- 11.28.2005

General, you have experienced a brush with mortality. Your hubris is a little bruised, that's all. Many have sharted or dribbled gravy drops. Farting like you described is to be savored, not censored. Throw caution to the wind, get up and back on the horse that threw you. You will be the better man.

General. Excellent. Where have you been?

In The Bushes (111) -- 11.29.2005

Great story, but I wish I had waited to read it until I was done eating. Let that be a lesson. Vivid writing does not make for good mealtime entertainment if it's on Poopreport, and I should have known I could count on the General for some vividness.

Fart Poopie (1257) -- 12.01.2005

I was thinking about The Gambler right before I got to that paragraph. Good reference there. :)

The good thing about this event is that it happened in your home. It would have been much worse if you did have an audience with the Pope.

IAN (not verified) -- 12.02.2005

I don't appericate the way you refuse to post my comment.I have just as much right to post a comment as anyone else. Whats with you you are not fair i have enjoyed your stuff since april but know if i am not good enough to post then your not good enough for me read you shit either ..Be a man and tell me why you won't post my comment . this is shitty stuff you have done.IAN

Dave (11627) -- 12.02.2005

What was your comment? Was it illiterate? Or racist? Or flamebait? Or moronic? Surely it was one of the above, else we probably wouldn't have deleted it.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 12.03.2005

My comment was that i like hearing guys talk about their farts and that i like sniffing them for the tuff macho guys cause they know how to fart.I am not illiteriate or a moran or flamebait.I am normal in everyway just like farts.This is after all a shit site.I've never did a crime and or hurt anyone just cause i like farts.I respect the general he awsome manly and good at farting.Hay general that misfiring happens to everbody don't feel like you lost any power push forward and keep the gas coming.THANKS IAN Today has been a bad day and i feel like everbody out to do me wrong .I am sorry for the madness in my message please forgive me.IAN

I had a similar incident this summer...I was sitting at my computer, laying a few stinky farts before I realized they were "enhanced". I'd eaten what was named "wilted spinach" at a restaurant the night before. It tasted okay going down, but on the way out, I was starting to wonder if it had been sauteed in motor oil, that's how stinky my farts were. Pungent & really odd smelling. When I realized I'd sharted I went to the toilet to finish the job, and even on later jaunts to the john, what came out was, seriously, grease. Perfectly round different sized blobs of a gray-green semi-solid substance, floating on the top of the water. It was so nasty, yet mystifying enough I couldn't stop looking at it! The undies got tossed, I tried washing the shorts, I used Simple Green, since it's a degreaser, and not only was there still a grease spot on the shorts, but they still had a faint lingering acrid stench of my motor oil shart. Ewwwwwwwwww!!!!

La Petomaine (71) -- 12.29.2005

It was the Ginger-Peanut soup AND the garbanzo bean snacks, trust me! I too love such foods, but the aftereffects--dear God, it is as though the bowels of Hell have been unleashed on the world! Especially when trapped in a car with myself on a hot summer day.
Have a crappy day!

pooptastic (34) -- 01.21.2006

the adult shart could be possibly one of the most degrading and horrific experiences in a person's life...and thankfully yours was in solitude. Public sharts are so much worse because then everyone knows you just soiled yourself.

The Dumpster (2505) -- 01.21.2006

General, you omitted one line from the Kenny Rodgers song which is especially appropriate, and which might have even served as the title for your story, You said:

"You gotta know when to hold 'em / know when to fold 'em / know when to walk away ... "

And Kenny added:

"Know when to run."

healthy 1 (1426) -- 11.28.2006

"Like the 4th of July for my nose. Guess I haven't been there.

Very well written story GCP. The first line got righ down to business and captured my attention.
