My Contribution to the (F)Arts

Posted 02.01.2006 by The Dumpster (2505)
I have always loved the performing arts. My career as a volunteer stagehand at The Grand Opera House in my hometown of Stewsburg climaxed the night that I had to make a nasty, semi-public poop in the lone toilet just off the stage. We subsequently remodeled the basement into nice dressing and bath facilities; but in the old days, the single backstage crapper was a sort of "stall" on the stage level. The walls didn't go up very far. You had only minimal visual privacy and none hiding your sounds and smells. My only consolation is that over the 100+ years of our beloved Opera House, everybody from Caruso to Houdini to Elvis must have used this thunderjug. (Yes, girls, ELVIS -- unless he shit on the floor of his dressing room, which I heard he was wont to do.)

On the fateful night, my supper had been three sandwiches, a large order of onion rings, and a Dr. Pepper from a local place called the "Pig-'N-Whistle." (Can you think of a better name for a greasy barbecue joint? Early Truth in Advertising!) This greasy stealth bomb almost immediately hit my small intestine and went into nuclear meltdown.

We were hosting a touring company of Oklahoma. They had their own stage crew so I was just the resident in-house techie, and I didn't have much to do but sit around and get more and more miserable as everything in my lower tract prepared to head for the exit. I wanted to leave, but it was my job to stay and lock up.

During the first act, my bowels were rumbling and churning like a speech from von Ribbentrop to the Reichstag; by intermission I felt like I had appendicitis and was doubled over in pain upstairs on the bridge, praying for a fartulary release. Finally, somebody did shout "fire!" in the crowded theatre of my intestines. An immense blast of gas bubbled towards the grid (the natural convection of the building drew air from the auditorium and wings across the stage and upward into the flyloft). I was able to make my way back downstairs for the finale (so I thought).

Would that I had held my wind. The release of the gas seemed to ignite deep within me a pyroclastic lava flow that tore through my lower tract with all the inexorable force of the Johnstown flood. As this tsunami of shit hurtled towards the frail restraint of my anal sphincter, I knew it would be curtains for me well before the curtain calls for the show. With my hand clenching my butt, I waddled to the privy. Just as Curly was beginning his big finale number, I somehow managed to get the door closed and my pants open. As Curly onstage was singing, "Oklahoma / where the wind comes sweeping down the plain," my tush hit the toilet and something came sweeping out of me that sounded and smelled like you were pouring a barrel of rotten onions off a tall building onto a dead pig carcass lying in wet cement. This was not the most disgusting shit I have ever taken (that story will come later); but it was definitely the #2 of #2's.

Of course, the open-roofed "stall" simply acted like both a megaphone and a wind tunnel, and as Curly sang, "where the waving wheat / can sure smell sweet," the sound and stench of my humiliating bowel burst was wafted by the building's natural convection right through the wings and across the stage.

I am told that a significant number of this professional cast broke character and looked offstage (maybe they thought a bomb had gone off); but I just sat there, groaning out my colonic confessional to St. John, until well after the curtain rang down. Even though this was, at the time, the only offstage pot, nobody bothered me (maybe they were waiting for the Coroner to get there); I am told that they just held it until the audience had left and then went to the lobby bathrooms.

I never knew. I stayed in there and shat and cried until the touring company was out of the way, and then I crept out and did my locking-up duties as inconspicuously as possible.

I regret to report that this Gobbligato for the Butt Flute has been, to date, my most significant contribution to the performing arts.

Encore, encore! It strikes me as ironic that an uplifting musical would be playing in the Stewsburg Opera House when by all means it should have been a tragedy, possibly Rigoletto by Verdi as you sir have provided the finest liberetto of the ass anyone could imagine and I am certain something died there that night.

Poop Shooter (597) -- 02.01.2006

A standing ovation to you Dumpster!!! I can picture you fart-blasting to the tune of Oklahoma!

Have a Crappy Day!! Poop Shooter!

"...something came sweeping out of me that sounded and smelled like you were pouring a barrel of rotten onions off a tall building onto a dead pig carcass lying in wet cement..."

Excellent audio/visual, Dumpster.
I can vividly hear the sloppiness of it just from your description!

Encore!

Great comment!

That had to be the greatest tragedy in a theatre since Abe Lincoln went to see Our American Cousin.If Romeo and Juliet were playing the actors might have really killed themselves to escape the stink.

AssBlaster2000 (1117) -- 02.01.2006

Yeah, what Di said.

TBW took the high road and ate only fruits and vegetables. Dumpster opted for a greasy, sloppy meal. Both ended up taking a messy but memorable shit. This is why poop is the great equalizer.

" I stayed in there and shat and cried until the touring company was out of the way"

Haha. Nothing worse then crying on the can. Been there many times my friend. Great story. You deserve a standing "O" from my sitting "O"

Cracktacular that was spactacular.

A lovely story. I too liked the description of your poop aria in the poop area.

Ohhhhhhhh CAN-a-da

Chuck (286) -- 02.01.2006

"Surely it was some stench on top." Okay, that may be stretching literary license some.

pooptastic (34) -- 02.01.2006

Oklahoma was always a slightly boring play. You just improved upon it.

KeepOnCrappin (550) -- 02.01.2006

Improved upon it by adding smell and sound effects, yes. TD, whats state is this in?

The Shit Volcano (3740) -- 02.01.2006

Oh yeah! Using reference to a volcano and a flood in the same statement. Loved the story, Dumpster! WE WANT MORE!!!!!!! More stories, that is!

Angry Bowels (18) -- 02.01.2006

'Greasy stealth bomber' heehee!

That was excellently written. Not only descriptive, but the Oklahoma references were priceless! Anyway Oklahoma is a stinky state. You were just making it more realistic.

Bravo!

Poop Shooter (597) -- 02.02.2006

Home....Home on the Range
Where the deer and the buffalo Roam
Where seldom is heard
A loud splatting turd
Hitting the bowl and making some foam!

....ok, so I'm not a poet or song writer!

Have a Crappy Day!! Poop Shooter!

Dumpster, outstanding contribution to Oklahoma. That's why Kansas is so windy, Nebraska blows and Oklahoma sucks.

Why do you suppose they have so many tornadoes?

heh. Now I feel like I need to poop..

3flusher (45) -- 02.03.2006

3flusher That's a hard act to follow!

The Dumpster (2505) -- 02.03.2006

The best performance background to this would have been something from Shakespeare. I would particularly like to have done this during act II, scene iv, of King Lear, where the King says:

"Poor naked wretches, whereso'er you are,
That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm,
How shall your houseless heads and unfed sides,
Your loop'd and window'd raggedness, defend you
From seasons such as these? O, I have ta'en
Too little care of this! Take physic, pomp;
Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel,
That thou mayst shake the superflux to them,
And show the heavens more just."

But "Oklahoma" provided its own ironic background. Crack says, above, "Oh, What a Poo-teauful Morning." That might have been a good title for this article, except this happened at night. Another song from that musical which might have been a good title is Judd Fry's "Lonely Room."

But thank you, one and all, for the compliments. There are a couple of more shit stories coming out of my long and diverse tenure at The Grand Opera House, and I will try to send them along in due course.

The Dumpster (2505) -- 02.03.2006

Sorry; I think the King Lear quote above actually comes from Act III. I'm sure TBW or somebody would have caught that.

The Dumpster (2505) -- 02.04.2006

This may be glad tidings to some, but I will be away from the site for the next several days, so there will be a reprieve from Dumpster postings. Maybe Tydirium can come out of retirement and take up the slack (and the bandwidth).

If anyone is interested in what I'm up to, take a look at "Dumpster's Wild Weekend" over on the forums. I'll catch you all when (and if) I get back!

Judging from your story, a more appropriate running would have been Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde," a tragedy of Shit-titanic proportions.

I've been in some substandard stage crappers, but your little booth with most excellent audio/olfactory effects.... well. It reminds me of those booths that are described in adult book stores--you know--'star booths'... Boy, oh, boy did you play a starring role that evening.

Excellent tale!

Welcome Back, Siegfried.

Logjam (2440) -- 06.17.2006

Wonderful story, Dumpster. (I'm slowly working my way through stuff I missed during my time away, and this is certainly one of the best.)

Double Flush (600) -- 06.18.2006

WELCOME BACK LOGJAM!!!

So... uhh... erm.... POOP!!!

The Dumpster (2505) -- 06.18.2006

Thanks, LJ. Almost everything I write on here now is subject to three criteria:

1. Is it site-appropriate? (Superego)
2. Will Logjam approve? (Ego)
2. Will AB2K disapprove? (Id)

Also, reading back through this thread makes me realize how much I miss Bunghole in the Jungle. She was only with us for a short time, but she was so very entertaining.

Hi, that was a really good story.. I always had this impression that people who laughed at poo were low-brow and unintelligent. I would secretly chastise myself for giggling when the stooped-shouldered old dear would head into the loo smiling dociley, then farts out jarring chords of madness and mayhem. it amazes me that 99% of people on this site are so creative and funny. I'm going to put up a story soon hopefully that was a similar experience to your Oklahoma incident about a performance I gave one time. I think I have to wait for approval then I will put it up. It might be in the middle of the night. It might be when you least expect it
