My Mid-Loaf Crisis

Posted 10.11.2007 by Gasputin (145)
I was about forty-five minutes into a four-hour Amtrak ride to my friend's bachelor party when an alarming increase in the moisture content of my flatulence vaulted "copping a squat" to the top of my priority list.

I waited a few minutes for the train to come to the next stop before heading into the restroom and initiating the launch sequence. I slid the door shut with a solid thud, casually flicked the lock, and got down to the business at hand. It was standard Saturday morning bathroom fare: a greasy mosaic of marbled asstrami, hot ring baloney, smoked squatwurst, and other assorted launch meats. The only problem: while my corn rocket thrusters were firmly engaged, the lock mechanism on the restroom's sliding door was not. When the train started moving again, the door slid halfway open just as I was putting the squeeze on a spicy slab of processed sphincter loaf.

"Whoa!" I screeched, my voice about six octaves higher than normal as my butterbean reflexively dilated.

The train accelerated with a sudden jerk, slamming the door wide open and offering a devastating glimpse of my exploits to the three segments of the population I despise most: men, women, and children. It was the stuff of which sheet-soaking nightmares are borne.

"WHOOAA!" I bawled louder, drawing even more attention to my ridiculous plight. Arms flailing, I sprung from the bowl in mid-loaf, covering the three or four stutter-step distance to the open portal in a matter of just two or three eternities -- plenty of time for the middle-aged woman with the turd's eye view of the whole dick-and-ball-flopping affair to recoil in mortal horror. A half-amused, half-frenzied shriek of "OH MY GOD!" from some unseen female passenger was the last thing I heard before I slammed the door shut.

My descent into the abyss had begun.

With my shorts still at my ankles, I began backpedaling to the toilet -- unaware that a small darkhole briquette had liberated itself from its anal tethers during my mad dash for the door. In a scene that fell on the scale of enchantment somewhere between an ice-cold shower and naked Twister with the Harlem Globetrotters, I felt my knee buckle as the accursed smudglet (and what little trace of dignity I had left) squished underfoot.

My blood started boiling with rage and scat splat fever. Four days shy of my thirty-eighth birthday, I was faced with the absurd task of removing micronuggets of my own putrescence from my sneaker treads.

After I composed myself, I finished my dump (now reduced to a fractured, jellied shell of what it had been), wiped my intricately-patterned New Balance crap circle off the floor, and set about extracting the soft, firmly-entrenched crud from my shoe with toilet paper. Once I realized the futility of this preposterous endeavor, I ran my sneaker under warm water in the sink.

My once-proud shoulders slumped in disgust as a runny brown emulsion reminiscent of the discharge from a seventeen-year-old beagle"s eyes trickled down the drain. When I was satisfied that my foot would reek of only watered-down raw sewage for the rest of the trip, I moved on to my next concern: re-entering civilized society. Because I refused to cower in the crapper for the next three hours, I needed an exit strategy. But what the hell was the social protocol once I opened that door? Did I:

  1. Apologize to the middle-aged woman and/or everyone in the vicinity? ("Sorry if my complete and utter humiliation put a damper on your ride, folks. Here's where your attorneys can serve me papers.")

  2. Prepare a witty rejoinder? ("That's just a little something I like to call 'The Stool Monty'!" )

  3. Jump off the train and begin life anew as Drunken Hayes, The Aggressive Panhandler?

    or

  4. Embrace insanity in its purest, most beautiful form? I mean the kind of undiluted madness that spits in the face of psychiatry and its pharmacopeia. The kind of madness that knows no social conventions, boundaries, or consequences. The kind of madness that screams, "I COLLECT THE TESTICLES OF UNBAPTIZED WOODCHUCKS TO MAKE BRACELETS FOR JACK KLUGMAN!"

My blood-alcohol level dangerously low, I decided the answer to of all these questions was no. This was a situation that demanded poise, grace, and decorum -- three qualities I possess in very short supply. So I did the only thing I could do: I opened the door and quickly returned to my seat as if nothing happened, avoiding any and all eye contact along the way.

When I recounted this story to my buddies at the bachelor party a few hours later, I had my fist up a blowup doll's ass and enough scotch in my bloodstream to ensure I'd be shitting plaid for the next week. The long hard road to recovery had begun.

Wow. I knew this was a Gasputin even before I read the tagline. Beautiful work. You are an inspiration to all wannabe poopreporters.

The lunchmeat metaphor was hilarious. It's a good thing that nobody was in the offices on either side of me.

I was starting to get concerned for you, gassy, as I was reading your four wild options. In the end, you made the right choice: act as if nothing happened and then take it out on the inflatables.

Haha, great story! A few of the similes seemed forced but it was an excellent read.
I'd have excited the crapper laughing my head off. But that's just me.
As long as you didn't smell like crap after, I'd say you were no worse for the wear.

doniker (1536) -- 10.11.2007

Excellent funny story. A little heavy on the metaphors, but still, good shit.

Thunderbox (891) -- 10.11.2007

Excellent tale, Gasputin, very funny. I`m surprised how spacious those train toilets are.

You shocked those passengers, but it could have been worse - you might have been knocking a quick one off the wrist at the time.

daphne (3696) -- 10.11.2007

Micronuggets. Sweet.

The last 2 paragraphs were especially funny. What was the blowup doll's name?

I had this very same problem once on a train too. Except I wasn't alone in the bathroom and taking a crap wasn't the reason for the "oh my God's."

Great story as always Gassy.

You have nothing to be ashamed of.It's not your fault the latch didn't work.If that girl yelled out that's huge she would have to to clarify what she was talking about.

Chuck (297) -- 10.11.2007

I enjoyed the story, especially the subtle irony of wearing New Balance shoes while struggling with your own balance.

Fraidtofart (1) -- 10.11.2007

Gasputin, you had me laughing so hard that I was snorting. I get so excited when I see a new story from you!!

Scat splat fever, anal tethers, I love it.

This is one of the funnier stories that I have seen in awhile.

So, did any of the passengers notice the smell from your shoes?

It seems that a lot of us have had troubles in Amtrak bathrooms. My own trauma occurred when I was six years old, but that is posted elsewhere on the site.

Funny story, Gas!

Of course you do, dear, all chicks dig me...but that doesn't change the fact that I cannot produce the gems that Gassy does, and it drives me mad!

DungDaddy (1386) -- 10.11.2007

I dunno. Good story, but I got the feeling Gaspy was trying a bit too hard.

Gasputin = (dang near)Mastercrapper = G Ras.
We haven't had this consistant and glorious reporting of poop in ages.
Gasputin makes me wanna cream my jeans for the front page again. I guess I was spoiled before.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

Hamster (581) -- 10.12.2007

This tale has a particular interest for me as a seasoned rail traveller in the UK. I've opened the door on fellow travellers more than once because they had failed to lock it properly.

The worst situation arose on my usual London train. The door is one of those big curved affairs that slides open slowly on the touch of a button. These are big wheelchair accessible toilets, and unfortunately the button is not within reach of someone sitting on the pot.

I pressed the ‘open’ button and, as the door slid open, I glimpsed an alarmed traveller about his business. I quickly pressed the 'close' button to spare his embarrassment. But unfortunately there is nothing quick about the mechanism. I apologised (why!?) and quickly moved out of view. But it occurred to me that many people might just have panicked and walked away, thus leaving the occupant to make an exposed, undignified shuffle across the cubicle.

It certainly makes you careful yourself!

Nixon (not verified) -- 10.13.2007

Great story! But considering I was at that bachelor party, I do have a few of questions.
1. Come on now, was that REALLY just your fist in the blow up dolls ass?
2. Why didn't you add aftermath pertaining to the absinthe?
3. Why did you leave such an invaluable player like Spike out of this story?
3.

Rather than blame the poor saps for whom the restrom lock fails to work, why not campaign for more reliable bathroom door locks? Seems we haven't come very far since the JurASSic period.

redhed (3) -- 10.14.2007

One of the funniest accounts of a train ride I have read. The metaphors were truly inspired.

Dry-Wipe (48) -- 10.14.2007

lets be glad the suicidal turd landed on the floor and was squished by the sneaker... it could have landed in or on the pants and/or drawers of this poor amtrack traveler. rinsing shit off the bottom of ur shoe is nowhere near as bad as having to clean it off ur pants, which would mean u'd be completing ur trip with either a shit-stain or a wet spot on ur pants(or most likely both)

great story Gassy. i particularly love the line about shittng plaid, i'll be sure to use it next time i have a meeting with mr walker

This story was just what I needed to end my long day. Thanks Gassy!!!! Four brown thumbs for this missive.

So funny and so scary. What a horrid stretch in time. One other good thing besides the slippery stinker not wrapping itself around your leg then sliding down like poo-pole dancing to leave you in a stunk funk on a 3 hr train ride. One other good thing besides having a most awesome funny, wish I could have been there, poop report. The other good thing is you didn't know any of those people who saw you IN THE ACT OF ALL ACTS, the act of DEFECATION. The chances of you crossing paths with the same people on that train that now have a great poop story to tell is so slim. You gained much and lost nothing. Good story. Remember to tell your grandchildren, it's a keeper.
