Turbulence Ahead (And Behind)

Posted 03.25.2008 by prarie doggin (1355)
It was to be a typical cross-country flight. But with IBS, as is my case, it was about as typical an eating tour of Tijuana.

My usual flying routine, practiced for many years, involves the Three Strike Rule. Neglect to eat healthy and light the day before and the day of flight: strike one. IBS: strike two. Do everything last minute, get all worked up, and try to relax with a few drinks in the lounge: strike three.

I arrived at the airport like a dejected batter heading for the dugout.

Taking matters into my own hands, I tried to lessen the inevitable by launching a preemptive turd at the gate restroom. It actually went quite well, but I had this nagging feeling in my guts that this was the tip of the brown iceberg, and that clouds were looming on the horizon.

About three hours into the flight, I began to feel the rumblings of dissent permeating my bowels. A revolution was brewing. Che and his army were preparing for attack. I decided to get up and stretch, and this helped a bit, but as I sat back down, one of Che's scouts escaped. It was, fortunately, only a fart, but I could tell by the smell that I only had minutes left.

I got up, cast a disgusted look at my aisle-mate, and headed to the back of the plane. My fart continued its evil loop through the ventilation system.

Now, I'm not a Big Brother Is Watching type, but I'm convinced there are hidden cameras in plane shitters that feed directly to the cockpit. These damn fly-boys knew what I was about to do and decided to head towards some turbulence in response. Thus, as soon as I entered the bathroom: "Passengers, please return to your seats. We are heading into some bumpy air." And there I was, about to take a ten-minute shit.

The rocking of the plane seemed to churn up Che and his men until they unleashed their attack in a frightening wave. Shit blew out of my ass like an evil brown lahar while I was tossed about the cubicle like a shit-filled beach ball. The noise was deafening and the smell putrid as Rosie O'Donnell's bike seat. I felt that at any second it would eat through the fuselage and I would be sucked out to my death.

As fast as it came on, it was over that abruptly. The battle was won: Che and his men now occupied the toilet. All that was left was a clean-up and a dignified exit. The story could end here.

But noooo. There was still one more pocket of unstable air ahead, and it had my name scribbled all over it. As I leaned forward to grab some paper, the plane lurched to the side and dropped like a rock. At that time, for one nanosecond, I was airborne. Free of the toilet. Weightless, if you will.

In that same nanosecond, the plane managed to travel forward six inches without me; and when I landed, I hit with a plop. A squishy plop. An ass-on-the-rim squishy plop.

There is a math formula out there (and I'm sure my friend BVC knows it) that will prove that the smell of smeared shit is exponentially proportional to the area of shittage exposed. We're talking the area of a small country here.

I began to clean up in earnest, lest there be more surprises ahead. Wipe, wipe, wipe, lather, rinse, repeat, all the while watching the edges of the door curling as the gas escaped into the cabin. After about five flushes, I was done. All I had to do was plan my escape.

I had it! I would quietly exit, find an empty seat near the front (there were plenty), and try to tune out the death gasps that would surely follow in the back. Since I was in the rear, I would only see the passengers' backs, and would not be noticed. Perfect!

I opened the door. Alas, fate had one final blow to deal me. There, thanks to the turbulence, strapped to their jump seats, were two young cabin attendants. Their eyes looked as if they had seen Satan having sex with Pat Robertson. They had heard everything, and they would soon smell everything.

What could I do? Eye contact had been made. I was the guilty one. I just smiled, nodded, and thought to myself, "It must suck to be you." I then found my seat and slept like a baby.

Logjam (2278) -- 03.25.2008

Prarie -- Glad I missed this flight. As to the function you refer to, I think the odor is linearly related to the surface area exposed. The non-linear consideration has to do with the volume of shit vs its surface area given different arrangements. A sphere minimizes the surface area of a given volume. Once you spread it thinly like butter along a surface, you begin to approach the maximum limit where half of the material is exposed surface area.

PINWORM Unlogged (not verified) -- 03.25.2008

I have a few rules for flying of my own.

1: Immodium whether you need it or not

2: Shit in the terminal whether you need it or not

3: Don't eat like an idiot for 24 hours before the flight

prarie doggin (1355) -- 03.25.2008

LJ, In other words peanut butter smells better on bread than in a jar?

Phillip_D_Trousers (3) -- 03.25.2008

I giggled... :-)

sittingpretty (124) -- 03.25.2008

Those flight attendants must have talked about you and that airborne dump for days. You must be proud. Hope they were hot flight attendants for your sake. I liked the Rosie O. bike seat comparison. Ain't that the bike seat in your museum?

prarie doggin (1355) -- 03.25.2008

No, I haven't attained that treasure yet. That is Daphne's seat, and is currently on loan to Logjam who needed it for some..er..research. Yeah research.

Bilgepump (1322) -- 03.25.2008

PD a blame shifter? Hard to believe..."I got up, cast a disgusted look at my aisle-mate,"...Priceless.

Logjam (2278) -- 03.25.2008

I haven't got daphne's seat (I wish!). I've got Star Jone's seat to use in the event I need to end it all, fast.

prarie doggin (1355) -- 03.25.2008

Oh shit! Who did I send Daphne's seat to? I hope it wasn't Teddy.

Bilgepump (1322) -- 03.25.2008

Oh fuck, PD, what did you do??? And Teddy hasn't been heard from in a week or so...oh god, oh god...poor Daphne...

Teddy, you bastard!!!!

Bilgepump (1322) -- 03.25.2008

LOL, just realized it didn't take too very long for this train to leave the tracks.

Logjam (2278) -- 03.25.2008

(Plane taken over by three bored guys looking for excitement). As to the seat, is it possible PD that you sent it back to daph? She was asking for it, and you may have relented, thinking a recharge couldn't hurt.

prarie doggin (1355) -- 03.25.2008

Recharge....absolutely priceless.

You poor fool. Read carefully -- you've absconded with the seat sullied by Star Jones. I guess that means the seat I have belongs to .... Sweet Jesus, I'm heading home. See ya'll.

Most excellent, PD. I think an artery actually broke in my head when I read, "putrid as Rosie O'Donnel's bike seat."

LJ, These letters are falling foward. We need the fully erect ones back.

Clearly, it was The Baron who introduced the problem with the bold italics with his insidious laugh: "Wuuuha ha ha ha haaaaaa...." I recommend we ban the lout until he submits to a thorough check for head lice and intestinal worms.

sittingpretty (124) -- 03.25.2008

Wow the whole plane must have stunk and pd went to sleep. You were the happiest most contented person on that flight. The attendants might have been envious. pee you.

Blind Mullet (133) -- 03.25.2008

My God! Momentary weightlessness in the thunder box! I haven't travelled on planes much, so I haven't heard of this phenomenon before, but I guess it makes sense...
I've felt it on a motorcycle, but then again, one is not normally posting a dark parcel whilst riding a bike, is one?

...is one? Surely not!

prarie doggin (1355) -- 03.25.2008

Yes, nothing like emptying out the whole plumbing system to put you to sleep. I didn't see anybody taken out in a stretcher or get de-fribbed. I did however catch just a hint of anger when I passed the flight attendant at the exit and she said buh-by-dick. Funny, that's not my name.

Hieronymous Bowels (120) -- 03.25.2008

No reason for her to get insulting, we can't control our bowel movements. If that'd been me I'd have turned my ass in her direction and done my best to squeeze out an air-biscuit right under her nose.

Fart Poopie (1254) -- 03.25.2008

I'm just surprised that, with all that turbulence, you didn't end up with poo all over your pants.

ChiliKahKah (24) -- 03.26.2008

PD:

Here I thought the term explosive decompression related to the loss of cabin air pressure. In that event the supplemental oxygen masks are to deploy automatically.

In this instance, you de-pressurized your colon and the masks should have been deployed by the pilots !

ChiliKahKah (24) -- 03.26.2008

Dear PD:

One last thought, this reminds me of the old black and white WWII TV show called 12:00 O'Clock high about a B-17 crew flying their missions.

I can almost hear it now, Target in sight, open bomb bay doors, target in cross hairs, BOMBS AWAY !

ChiliKahKah (24) -- 03.26.2008

Dear PD:

I am glad you did not consider taking any kind of action to rid the blue room of the aroma. Please review the following news story.

Flaming Fart Grounds Airline Flight

An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing on December 4th after a passenger lit a match to cover up the smell of her flatulence.

The Washington-to-Dallas flight landed in Nashville after a female passenger lit the match and passengers noted the smell of burning sulfur. All 99 passengers and five crew members left the plane upon landing and were screened, and the plane's luggage was removed and screened. The plane took off again, but the woman was not allowed back on board.

The unidentified passenger was questioned and admitted to striking the match or matches. She was said to have an undisclosed medical condition that may have caused the flatulence. She was released by the FBI and will not be charged, but a spokesperson for the Nashville International Airport Authority said that "American [Airlines] has banned her for a long time."

With airline passengers already skittish from the 9/11 attacks and other incidents including Richard Reid's "shoe-bomb" attempt, airlines and Federal authorities have little tolerance for anything involving fire or explosions on board aircraft. Passengers are allowed to bring a limited number of matches on board planes, but it is illegal to strike a match in an airplane, the Nashville spokesperson said.

As far as I know, Homeland Security is not considering naming flaming flatulence as an imminent terrorist threat. But perhaps agents will be on the lookout for individuals consuming large amounts of burritos at Taco Bell before flights.

ChiliKahKah (24) -- 03.26.2008

PD, I just found this related article about on board "fumes."

Ask the pilot
Do airplanes make you fart more? The pilot lets us in on readers' probing questions.

By Patrick Smith

Q: I just got back from vacation, and I'm positive that airplanes make me fart more. I fly a lot, and I can definitely say there's a lot more flatulence going on when I'm airborne. Does this have anything to do with pressurization? I've also realized that with so much ambient noise, you can really rip 'em without being heard. Together, these two things lead me to believe that airplane seats are actually designed for farting. Can you confirm or deny this?

Author's note: There is an air pressure factor at play here. But the topic is gross and I really don't feel like explaining it.

I might as well take to using a Segway - this bicycle is useless.

LJ, you crafty sneek. I missed that.... Star Jones! I need some advice here, how do I offload this thing onto some poor unsuspecting newbie?

Oh, LJ, headlice -clean, worms clean, falling down letters, guilty as charged. Dont worry tho' after spotting thee error of my foolish ways, I emailed the big cheese to get things fixed. Foolish, because, as I have just found, formatting HTML after a Vindaloo and half a bottle of Jack Daniels,isnt as easy as it first seems. Appologies to all. I'm now off to nurse my hangover and my starfish.

In response to fart poopie's question, I was sitting Larry Craig style. Legs spread, and feet foward. When you have IBS, you learn these tricks quickly.
Chilikaka, thank you for all the information. Airplanes are shit producing, fart inducing, disease spreading, bad food serving, sardine cans. Unfortunately, they are sometimes necessary to use, unless evolution reverses and we sprout wings.

Logjam (2278) -- 03.26.2008

Baron. You've proved yourself a big man by owning up to the html blunder; thanks, too, for the lice/worm rundown. As to the seat, I will gladly take delivery of it. As I said, I am building a suicide kit while I'm still (relatively) lucid, and I'm counting on this being my fastest, surest and most ironic solution. Please don't give it a test run unless the worms have returned and you have arranged for someone else to drop the seat in the mail should it prove successful. Cheers, mate.

*attempts a sigh of relief, but peg on nose is making it difficult*...
Aaaaah... HMMPK , dammit, damn you peg! erm, LJ, thangkz, I'll but it in the bost....
*removes peg*
GASP! sorry, Thanks I'll put it in the post once it has been hermetically sealed. Nay, infact the postal service would refuse it. Its gonna have to be an armoured truck plus armed convoy. Keep a look out of your window for a lot of blue flashing lights, and people with guns in hazmat suits, it's on its way.

LJ, I am in initial stages of procuring my most exciting treasure to date. It would be the exercise bike seat from none other than Ms. O'd.
I know it probably wasn't used much, but word has it she would break out in a huge sweat just by sitting on it. If I manage to pick this jewell up, it promises to be like a shotgun blast to the head if inhaled. BVC, after your near death experience, I would recommend you keep a safe distance from this one.

They should bring back the old low-slow-flying planes like they had in the old days, back then they could have vents becuase the planes flew low enough they didn't have to be pressurized. I'd gladly give up an hour of flight time for more leg-room and fresh air.

baron von crapalot (322) -- 03.27.2008


Fresh air HB?, surely nothing beats the heady aroma of a turd party shamless butt spud, or air biscuit for that matter?

Haha, score. Now just repeat this incident and hope all the other stewardesses are dicks, and you got yourself a vacation to Australia. You can see Mullet while you're down there :)

sittingpretty (124) -- 04.05.2008

So Baron you have the infamous bike seat? what about Michael Jackson's glove, Pdog have you secured the glove?

baron von crapalot (322) -- 04.05.2008


SP, I thought I had the seat, butt it turned out to be Star Jones, and not Daphnes, after a few faints, I managed to TNT it to persons un-named (seek, and ye shall find) under armed guard. As to the glove, I think PD has it, butt is keeping quiet about it, 'cos PD likes the feel of the sequins on the starfish. - Its just a theory though, see what you can dig up as proof._______

Pdog, You said "defribbed" for defibrillated or defibbed. Cute, I like it whether it was intentional or accidental. I like your wit.

baron von crapalot (322) -- 04.05.2008


Like his wit? you should have seen him on the stretcher after the defib. Not nice, I thought he was a gonna!

HaHahaaha. I knew it! I started to say Star Jones' seat. Daphne has her own seat too?! Soooooo, there's Rosie's, Star Jones' and Daphne's bike seat floating around...and now THE GLOVE. I'll dig around, butt ya'll move around so fast and overnite those seats so often, I don't know if I have the qualifications or the proper equipment to do the yob. Prariedog are you getting dingleberries and pubes caught in the glove's sequins again?

sittingpretty (124) -- 04.05.2008

When was prarie "defribbed" as he put it? Did EMS find a sequin from MJ's glove caught in his starfish causing the vagel stimulation that prompted the defribbing? After all that, the glove is not white anymore, is it? He probably got sequins(pubes, dingles, cathair) in his sinuses from sniffing the glove too hard, too.

sittingpretty (124) -- 04.05.2008

Daphne- d a p h n e. Daphne. you got it correct the 1st and 3rd time.

baron von crapalot (322) -- 04.05.2008


It all happened when he sniffed the seat, thought at the time to be Daphne's. It was horrible, broken glass, busted up museum, ambulance crew, I also fell foul of the seat thing, when I pinched it!

_______

prarie doggin (1355) -- 04.05.2008

Ok, just for the record, I collect used bike seats, used ass gaskets, toilet seats, flush handles, public stall doors and the occasional NYC subway straphanger handle. MJ's glove, no way!! That would be gross.

SP, if you insist on searching for the glove, you might start looking in young boys underwear.

baron von crapalot (322) -- 04.05.2008


PD, thats just NASTY!

butt funny as hell!!!_______

whats that smell?

What the heck is an ass gasket?

whats that smell?

prarie doggin (1355) -- 04.05.2008

Well BVC, this post will put me in the top 15, so it might well be an informative one. An ass gasket is one of those paper rings that are supplied at point of deposit in some public dunnys. You place it on the seat and you are protected from everything including nuclear armageddon. I never use them.

baron von crapalot (322) -- 04.05.2008


Congrats on the well deserved top 15 thing..... I have seen ass gaskets in mainland Europe, butt never in the UK. I guess we are just tooooo clean over here.

prarie doggin (1355) -- 04.15.2008

No blue dye on the brown eye. (that I was aware of)
