In-Laws' Meatballs

Posted 09.07.2006 by doniker (1517)
Over the years my family has purchased many different brands of those pre-made, fully-cooked frozen meatballs. All of them usually gave us some bad gas. But this Labor Day, I have discovered the gasballs from hell: Gordon Food Service brand meatballs.

My wife had plans for us to spend the Labor Day weekend at her mother's house. Around 10:30 that Saturday morning, my wife, our daughter, the dog and I left our Cleveland home for the rainy four-hour trip to my mother-in-law's home in Dayton.

After we arrived, I noticed a crockpot in the kitchen full of a tomato sauce-based dish. I later learned that we where having rigatoni and meatballs for dinner. I had started that day eating only a bowl of oatmeal. During the ride down I ate only five chicken nuggets and a small vanilla Frosty from Wendy's. Around 4:00 PM the alcohol started to flow heavily.

I have endured some medical problems this summer, so I have been basically sober since early June. By the time dinner hit the table at six o'clock, I had downed three shots of vodka and about seven Bud Lights. I was drunk and hungry.

We enjoyed a nice salad and some garlic bread, and then I consumed two huge plates of rigatoni and a total of over thirty little meatballs. My mother-in-law was delighted that I liked the meal and told us all about the great price she had gotten at GFS on this enormous bag of meatballs.

Around seven, two of my sisters-in-law and their families showed up to eat. At 7:30, eight of us sat down at their poker table to play some Texas Hold'em. I sat at that table for three straight hours without getting up once (and won $25!!!); and even though my mother-in-law kept offering me food and drink, I was so bloated and full I couldn't eat or drink another thing. When I finally stood up, the cramps started to develop.

At eleven o'clock, I was ready for bed. My gut was totally distended and I had severe gas pains. Before hitting the sheets in the basement bedroom, I ripped a massive fart that easily lasted five seconds.

Twelve midnight. I awoke from an unsound sleep with probably one of the worst gut aches of my forty-three years. I didn't know if I needed to shit, puke, have a stroke or all of the above. I seriously thought my appendix may have burst. I ran to the toilet and sat down, only to have nothing depart my asshole. I stood up and dry heaved over the sink, but nothing exited at that end either.

I started to pace the basement in a panic. I even considered waking up my wife to take me to the hospital -- I was in some considerable pain. Minutes later, I ripped a major fart that jarred something loose amongst my innards. I again sat on the shitter and dropped about four big logs. I was still experiencing pain, but I got back into bed anyway, hoping to try and get some sleep.

The next four hours consisted of tossing, turning, farting, and fading in and out of sleep. Around five AM I hit the pot again and thankfully dropped a few more logs. By sunrise I was feeling somewhat better, but my gut was still grumbling and I was groggy from lack of sleep.

That morning I told my wife of my dilemma, only to have her inform me that she, too, had experienced some pretty wicked gas. That day we spent a few hours visiting at my sister-in-law's house, and she mentioned during conversation that she and her husband were both up until 2:30 AM that morning because they were "sick" and concluded it was caused by "something they ate." I looked at my wife and we both laughed.

Later that night, my mother-in-law's neighbors had a bonfire going, so we joined them and several of the other locals to do some beer drinking. Oddly enough, the subject of farting became a popular topic, and many of the men and women in attendance, all over forty, shared many of their notable fart stories. My wife and I keep our gassy tales a secret, but my wife did finally ask her mother if those meatballs had given her gas. I'm sure my mother-in-law was lying when she said, "No."

Good God! They make prepackaged meatballs? Why would any one eat such a thing?

Good story doniker - 30 meatballs at one sitting! Those little bastards must have swollen up in your guts, no doubt full of sawdust being so cheap. You were lucky to survive.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 09.07.2006

In order to prevent the meatballs from deteriorating (further) into an inedible mass of gellatinous, acid corrupted putrescent carrion, the manufacturer suffuses them with an inordinately high volume of methane and varios sulfurous compounds. At least this is my theory, and I'm sticking with it.

GottaGoGirl (2615) -- 09.07.2006

Good story, doniker! I like the line, "I didn't know if I needed to shit, puke, have a stroke or all of the above." That made me laugh; a perfect description of desperation.

Di Uhreea (409) -- 09.07.2006

What were the logs like?
Maybe they DO put wood fibres in the meatballs for filler.
True logs, indeed!

This has NOTHING on my grandma's meatballs the gas produced from them could heat Texas for a year. If you want some really foul gas and poop eat Carrabas sausage and lentil soup you will be percolating in no time

Bunga Din (1238) -- 09.07.2006

Good yarn as always doniker. What I enjoy about your tales of rectum revenge is that the folly of your diet is usually the cause of your caper. We have Gordon Food Service here in Canada as well so I think this may be one type of food I will try and see if it's effects are similar to me. I think you may actually have experienced a mild case of pancreatitis (I've had it and it feels like a heart attack and a knife in your gut at the same time), but I can't remember gas or wicked shits. This you will often get if you've laid off the booze for a while and then jumped back off the wagon.

DungDaddy (1364) -- 09.07.2006

Hell yes they make pre-packaged meatballs! In my opinion, anything that takes longer to cook than to eat is a waste of time (unless somebody else cooks it, of course) Schwanns make some yummie, spicy meatballs. They are delicious and are not known to be poisonous.

Anonymous Coward, if the meatballs were infused with methane, would they fart when you bite them?

Poop Shooter (597) -- 09.07.2006

Cool point to ponder DungDaddy. Awesome story donkier!! I laughed my ass off and felt your pain. I wonder how much the beer had to do with your pain as the meatballs? I bet the beer created a chemicle reaction with the sawdust meatballs and blew your guts apart for the evening!!

I am prompted to post my meatball recipe in the forums, cuz' they rock, and like doniker seems to enjoy, I use a melon baller to size them. Tiny meatballs rock.

Sorry for your bung, doniker. Food service food can be tricky.

Daphne, I would like to see that recipe. Do you think it would work well with ground turkey? I am attempting to cut down on the red meat.

Sam, I saw a dead possum in the road the other day. Now THAT meat wasn't red. Probably make rather punguent meatballs though.

Mr. or Ms. Coward, I would like to try some possum. However, I would prefer it be fresh. Generally, it is the standard American beef that I am trying to avoid. I am told that the grass fed beef is pretty good for you. It has more Omega 3s than salmon.

Sam - I ran over a badger today with the car, want me to mail it over?

Anomalous Coward (686) -- 09.08.2006

I dunno Sam, I skinned one of those ugly beggars once, and I do believe I'd rather starve than eat one. They have a diSTINKtive odor about them. And its Mr.

Badgers, we don't need no stinkin' badgers.

OMG. That's GottaMan's FAVORITE line, ever! He says it all the time. I bet you and he would get along great.

daphne (3325) -- 09.09.2006

Sam, it's in the forums, and I think turkey has alot of water so it's trickier. To add more eggs would probably help as a binder.

Wow Doniker i owned a pizza place back in 2003 and guess who was my supplier of food none other than Gordon food service it may or may not be the same one.But most of everthing i used from them was very good.Also you ate too many meat balls and too much beer and stuff.But i understand that they could still make you sick without drinking at all but it probably made things worse .I think bad gas is just normal at times but your story Rocked love it Paul

SamDamnit (1191) -- 09.12.2006

I wonder if I could make badger meatballs.......... or badger balls, for that matter?

Of course badgers have balls. How the hell else do you expect them to play croquet?

Rectal Badger (102) -- 09.27.2006

Gordon Food Service food absolutely blows. I had a friend who got bad diarrhea after eating a hot dog they made.

Anyway, you are obviously a survivor doniker. And I sympathize with the pain - I've eaten things before that make my gut so bad I wonder if a trip to the emergency room is in order too.

DRIP_DOWN_YO_LEG (21) -- 08.03.2007

at family fatherings my family doesnt have meatballs they have barbecue smothered little wennie hot dogs which make me shit enormously liquidy which gives me a good excuse to creep upstairs and stay away form all the old people

Hamster (579) -- 08.04.2007

Doniker - I do salute your eating and drinking capabilities! I think you did extremely well under the circumstances! But I do wonder why most people are so reluctant to talk about their farting and pooping experiences!!!?

The Thunderous ... (651) -- 08.04.2007

There is NOTHING more sacreligious to THIS Italian then pre packaged meatballs. I am talking HOMEMADE meatballs with the Progresso breadcrumbs and the garlic, diced onions and of course the ground sirloin. That is what makes the best meatballs. But the end result should be LASER FARTS that burn holes in your sheets. Dumps of biblical proportions. The greatest compliment you can receive is either when you fart OR take a crap, when someone asks, JEEEZUS did you have meatballs for BREAKFAST or what? Then and ONLY THEN do you know those meatballs were the best!
