The First Real Meal

Posted 10.16.2006 by Keri B (35)
It was Tuesday of the second week of this summer: in my opinion the greatest week of what seemed to be forever, because it was that week when I received my first paycheck in eight months. It was not clothes I was going buy, nor was it electronics. No, I had one thing on my mind: my dream meal. For I was no longer poor and condemned to consume the horrible, food-poisoned excuse for nourishment that my college provided. Now, after months of eating cereal, Saltines, and Slim Fast, I knew exactly what that meal would be: a turkey artichoke sandwich complemented perfectly with an I.C. Mocha, from Panera Bread.

Being the sweet young girl I am (or efficient -- whatever you wanna call it), I planned on eating my meal in the presence of my grandfather, whom I haven't seen in months. And at the same time give him something that differed from the shit he ate at the King Street Sub Shop. With my plan in hand, I began driving to Panera Bread.

In retrospect, a warning light should have gone off somewhere. It was intensely hot that day and my car has no AC. I was about to introduce my stomach to food it hadn't seen in months. And it was 4:45 -- thirty minutes away from rush hour. But on that particular Tuesday, my young mind was nowhere to be found.

I got to my grandfather's place with my dream meal and devoured it like a starving wolf in the winter. I sucked the whipped cream topping of my drink down to the very last drop and savored every second. Now, I hadn't seen my grandfather for a long time, and I was determined to talk with him for at least an hour. But ten minutes into my riveting conversation (conversations with grandparents always are), my stomach revolted. My stomach was confused and scared -- it hadn't seen this kind of food in months. I envisioned my beloved meal traveling through my intestines at warp nine, demolishing the equilibrium it took nine months of college to establish. I could actually feel it moving through my stomach: an unstoppable tidal wave bound for the coastline of a porcelain Jacuzzi.

There is only one working toilet in my grandfather's house, and it was less than three feet away from where he was sitting. The urgency was rising, but I felt I could make it home. I stopped mid-conversation and lied to my poor grandfather, telling him my dentist appointment was in twenty minutes and that I needed to leave that instant. I gave him a quick hug and kiss and bolted to the car. Thanks to his lack of observational skills, he sensed nothing wrong.

When I got to my car, the interior was like an oven. The steering wheel was barely touchable, and the seat nearly burned my back when I sat down. I roared the engine to life and was off. The car was smoldering and I wiped the sweat from my brow as I began navigating the tight city streets with potholes at every turn. The vibration from the motor, the bumps from the road, and the heat from the sun was turning my intestines into a melting pot. The brew was cooking. It would be ready soon.

It took me ten minutes to get out of the city. I shot out onto the main road faster than the men at college can bong an Iron City beer. But just when I crested the hill, a horrible sight burned into my retinas: none other than a four-foot tall woman peering through her steering wheel, cruising her Caddie at twenty miles per hour.

I almost cried. I tailgated her and even tried to pass in double yellow. I thought to myself, "If I could just fart I could relieve some of this pressure, I'd be okay."

But I knew that I couldn't fart. The front line didn't consist of the usual foot soldiers; there were cannons at my castle door. I felt I was going to shit myself, plain and simple. There was only one thing I could do: call Erica and tell her.

Erica was my freshman year roommate whom I discovered very early on loved farting as much as I did. We farted together, shared stories together, even discovered PoopReport together. She needed to be there with me. I desperately reached for my phone and dialed -- but she never picked up. Still, I could hear her voice in my head telling me I could make it, giving me hope and strength. I had five minutes, two stop signs, and a police station to go. I could make it, I thought. I could make it.

The last five minutes of the journey I barely remember. Maybe God shined down that day, or maybe luck crossed my path, but somehow I made it home. I ran upstairs and ripped my pants down as the cannons broke through the door. Then I let out a fart so loud it should have broken the window. About two percent of the mess hit my underwear -- a fair trade for what could have been.

Then it came. The tidal wave hit the shore and with a fury like no other shit before. It hit the water, splashing me and almost brimming over the seat. This was no ordinary diarrhea. This was extremely painful. I grabbed the shower side and tried to keep myself on the seat, the pain increasing despite the emptying of my bowls. Between the loud, uproarious farts that followed and wave after wave of the super-heated liquid-shit remains of my first true meal, I thought there was no hope for me.

The mere quantity of it astounded me. Where the hell did all that come from? But the smell was much harder to describe. It seemed to crescendo multiple times throughout the ordeal -- ironically peaking when, preceded by liquid shit, a perfectly-sized log found its new watery home. Simply put, I had to courtesy flush six times to keep from passing out.

Sitting there on that toilet, I began drawing a rough outline in my head for PoopReport. I was going to save this story for some rainy college night during which schoolwork was to be avoided. Tonight was that night. I hope you've all enjoyed it.

Not only were the cannons at your gate, they fired the shit heard round the world. My sympathies Keri. Glad you made it home with no more battle damage than you did. Good story, and for what its worth, I'd vote for sweet young girl.

First "first post" ever for me. I feel so damn special.

Nicely done. And well written!

Good story. Did that teach you not to lie to your Grampa?

If you took that shit at Grandpa's I don't think he would have survived the smell.That little white lie about the dentist saved him.If you can fart and break glass you should try out for America's Got Talent.

Eating weird foods that you haven't eaten in a while will definitely do that to you. I had a similar experience when I ate my first bratwurst in about a year. Only I wasn't at my Grandpa's, so it was all good. It's weird that heat makes diarrhea all that much worse. I wonder why that is, but I've experienced it too.

Great story! Very funny and well written! I know how you feel though, I have had to shit badly and gotten stuck behind the obligatory old person hunched over their huge steering wheel going 20 miles an hour. This is why old people shouldn't drive.

Great comment!

Hey, I'm an old codger and I take exception to your characterizing us as never going more than 20 mph. I was up to 27 just last week...

The Shit Volcano (3740) -- 10.16.2006

It was the mocha ice that did it. I don't drink coffee, but I have plenty of friends and family who do and they all claim that coffee makes them shit. What you were probably shitting out was a bunch of crap left over from your horrible college diet.

I have never had the heat and diarrhea reaction. However, I know that it is extremely difficult to hold in piss when I really have to go and it's cold.

Enjoyed the race home, Keri B. Good luck in school!

Wonderful story. Very well written. I don't recall ever having the heat reaction either, but coffee, oh that does it every time.

This would make a good strategy for street racers. Eat some spicy food, drink a large mocha, wait till you gotta shit, then race like hell to a predetermined toilet. The winner gets the fresh bowl. The rest . . . well, hopefully they'll write about that outcome.

Good story, Keri. You have a lot of good imagery there, and you had my sympathy when you were stuck behind the 4 foot old lady that drove at 20mph. I hate it when that happens.

Fart Poopie (1257) -- 10.16.2006

By the way, CEP way to go. I'm proud of you.

If you had called yor friend, what could she ahve done? Got the seat at home warm for you? Attacked the old lady with an oxe, or some blunt object? TELL ME! TEEEELLLL MEEEEE!

I was really enjoying this story - especially the part about liking talking to your grampa - until you wrote that you left instead of use his bathroom. Why did you do that? I also love my grandparents, and I enjoy talking to them very much. Had this been me and I felt the need to poop, I wouldn't have had a bit of trouble crapping within earshot. My grandparents have been around since I was a baby, they watched me grow up, and I bet they changed my diaper from time to time. That you bounced on the visit perplexed me.

Come to think of it, my grampa would have either laughed or took this opportunity to discuss how sick I felt and the compete with it. "Well, I have this hernia now...." No matter. It was a cute story still, and you wrote it nicely. And I remember being "college poor", saltine crackers and all.

Good story. You captured the angst of being behind the wheel during a shit attack quite well. Nothing is worse than pulling into unexpected traffic and suddenly feeling the pangs of regret for that giant bran muffin and second 20 ounce cup of black coffee you just finished. Very common experience judging by how many comedians haved mined that material. Did you suffer from TSA (toilet separation anxiety) afterwards? Did it change your life in any way?

Fudgepump (366) -- 10.17.2006

You beat me to it, Daph. Good story, Keri, but I didn't understand the urgent need to flee. Especially if Grandpa's "observational skills" are as limited as you say they are: isn't the sense of smell one of the first to go? Poor Gramps was probably left wondering why his beloved granddaughter, whom he hadn't seen in months, would wolf down a sandwich and bolt for the door in the middle of a riveting conversation.
I think another lunch/dinner visit is in order, don't you, KB?

SHIT4BRAINS (not verified) -- 10.17.2006

I am intrigued by all the places on PR that talk about coffee making people shit. I've been drinking the stuff for almost fifty years, and it don't do shit for me (sorry, couldn't resist). Seriously, the only effect I ever have from coffee is when I DON'T drink it. Then I get a bitch of a headache.

shitwit (578) -- 10.17.2006

Great first story, Keri! I've also had the searing heat of summertime pressure cook my guts until the ass stew nearly boiled over! Glad you didn't have too far to drive or a very long ride. I'm sure your friend would have been amused to "experience" the turd tidal wave with you. It would have been priceless if she called you back while you were on the crapper!

Keep the stories coming!

Good story.

Evelyn, are you taking your medication? Good boy.

Shit4brains. Your comment, and all this talk of grandparents, reminds me of my dear old Granddady. Colonel SamDamnit! used to enjoy a coffee after dinner and dessert. On many occasions, he would excuse himself from the table after said coffee. His parting words stick in my head, to this day.

"That coffee certainly does a good job of cutting the cake"

Caffeine inhibits an enzyme that is thought to regulate mucosal secretions in your small intestine. Secretions go up, so fluid in your bowel goes up, and if the amount of fluid in your colon is greater than the amount of fluid you can reabsorb, splat, you get diarrhea, or at least looser stools.
Its gets my ringpiece winking in the morning, every morning - without coffee I dont poop till later in the day.

I think that long shit would have been better if it wasnt so painful.

healthy 1 (1427) -- 11.29.2006

Fantastic story Keri B.

It sounds like you suffered a temporary case of shit shock. This can happen when a person drastically changes his or her diet.

You might want to keep a bottle of Pepto handy next time.

Panera Bread does have damn good food.

Had I been your friend and received your call, I would have cheered you on every step of the way. Here you are.... on the stoop... a few more steps... and you can poop.

GREAT story, darn Blue-Hairs, they foil the plans every time.

A word to the wise: It is better to share with family than to tailgate little old ladies and risk soiled undergarments. Besides, he's your grandpa. His senses were probably assaulted by far worse from your dirty diapers when you were getting weaned.

Haha. I like your story. I had a similar experience today. I don't know what I ate but I had bad diarreah that kept me on the pot for 30mins!
