Binge, Purge, Evacuate

Posted 06.30.2006 by Duke E. Mann (41)
This is my third submission to Poop Report. I feel a bit remiss in not contributing more often, as I have a plethora of suitable anecdotes to share, but I have been busy lately. Nevertheless, for some reason I felt that this story needed to be told. While earlier tales were historical, each occurring over ten years ago, this story is only days old. Though different, this event was no less traumatic at the time it occurred.

I'm a pretty regular guy, and on a typical day I'll try to take a crap on the clock. This is in addition to my daily home shit. It's a very rare day that I don't take at least one dump, and that is what makes this story unique for me. I've heard stories of kids who go off to summer camp and don't take a dump for an entire week, but that has never happened to me.

It started on a Thursday night. After a nice big lunch of Mexican food, I treated myself to Whataburger for dinner sometime around midnight. And some beers. My intestines weren't exactly pleased with this choice, but it was late and I had to get up early, so I went to bed without dropping the kids off at the pool for the night. I figured I could make up for it in the morning when I got to work and maybe even get in two paid dumps on Friday.

Friday morning came and I was feeling the urge; but as usual, I was running late. I was also hungry, so I stopped by Sonic on the way in to work and picked up a SuperSonic breakfast burrito -- eggs, sausage, cheese, hash browns, tomatoes, jalapeños and salsa -- along with hash browns and a Coke. I knew that eggs make me shit and that I should avoid them, but I ignored my instincts and sat down at my desk and devoured the greasy breakfast and then headed off for the shitter. Sure enough, I had the shits. No big surprise there, the way I'd been eating the past couple of days.

For some reason, instead of a mild lunch I decided to go to the Genghis Grill. For those of you who don't know, the Genghis Grill is a Mongolian stir-fry joint where you mix up a big bowl of fixins' and add some spicy sauces and seasonings, and they cook it on a huge grill in front of you. I made mine with chicken and lots of sausage, all manner of vegetables (including jalapeños), and topped off with some Asian chili and Mongolian BBQ sauces. All on top of fried rice. Oh yeah, I had them scramble in some eggs with each bowl.

I had two big bowls of this.

Then it was back to work and more runny shits. About four o'clock I realized that my loose bowels had turned into a full-fledged case of the bubbleguts, with intermittent diarrhea that didn't appear to be going away any time soon.

Oh, but things get more complicated.

I'm a musician and sound engineer on the weekends; and on this particular weekend I was working both Friday and Saturday nights at a club that packs in a big crowd. Big weekend crowds in bars equate to particularly nasty toilets in those clubs. Anyone who has ever been in a men's room stall on a busy night knows that the mixture of feces, vomit, urine, and general nastiness that coats every surface is almost unbearable. There's no way that any sober person could shit in one of those stalls. So I had a real problem on my hands.

I went home after work and took another runny shit, probably the tenth one of the day. I decided to pop an ass mint -- that's code for Imodium AD between myself and fellow musician and PoopReporter Straight-Pipe. Many times we have been spared the two AM bar shit through careful planning and early application of the ass mint. So after taking the pill and showering, I headed off to the club to work.

I was feeling better by the time I got to the club, but all that shitting had made me hungry. This club comps me my food and bar tab when I work there, so of course I had to order up a barbecued pulled pork sandwich and several beers over the course of the night. Just to be safe, I took another ass mint when I ordered the food.

Things went okay Friday night.

Saturday came and I rolled out of bed at the crack of noon. After doing the yard work in the hot Texas June sun, I was ready for some lunch, so I went to Mimi's Café, a New Orleans style place with pretty good food. I had a big Cobb salad, some corn chowder, and a huge buttermilk spice muffin. I made a halfhearted attempt at taking a dump when I got home, but the dual ass mints had firmed things up in that department. And then it was time to go back to work at the club. Another night of pulled pork sandwiches and beer passed uneventfully.

Sunday afternoon I rolled out of bed and decided that it was time to unload the previous three meals before I attacked my usual Sunday afternoon feast of chicken fajitas. But I couldn't produce anything but a few noisy farts. So off to the feast it was, and let me tell you: I didn't hold back. When Sunday night came and I still hadn't shit, I figured I wouldn't worry about it -- I'd just let nature take its course. With that in mind, we ordered up a giant Little Caesar's pizza and some Crazy Bread and sauce along with a two-liter of Coke. And I held my ground.

Monday morning came and I'm feeling no urge, so it's off to work. I had a chewy granola bar for breakfast, not wanting to tempt fate with another Sonic burrito. Sometime around noon I felt like I might be able to attempt a turd, so I retreated to the cool confines of my home away from home -- the warehouse bathroom -- with a magazine and thoughts about what to have for lunch.

I work in a relatively small office building/warehouse complex. We have both a men's and a women's restroom in the front of the office, and there is an additional restroom back in the warehouse. The staff is mostly women, with only myself and one other guy routinely in the office. I claimed the warehouse restroom some time ago, and it has become my de facto homebase. The warehouse bathroom is in a hidden area that's easy to miss if you don't know where to look. And it has its own air conditioning vent that keeps the small room nice and cold. All in all, it's quite a peaceful place.

Peaceful -- except that a certain person in the office whom we'll call Mary (because that's her name) always seems to come looking for me when I go in there. Never mind the fact that I have a message box, voicemail, email, and a desk on which to place a note; any time Mary needs me, she runs around the office hollering my name. I've theorized that she has a sensor on the warehouse bathroom door and knows when I go in there. It never fails -- day after day, for years now, whenever I go into the bathroom I can hear her feet clomping around the office, hollering out my name, and eventually her footsteps and voice draw nearer until she realizes (for the thousandth time) that I'm on my throne. It's never been an emergency -- always some menial tidbit of information that could have been conveyed in any of a dozen other ways. Something like "Frank called for you." At first I would pinch it off and rush out of the bathroom, expecting there to be some sort of crisis; but over the years I have learned to ignore her and take care of business, only to confirm afterwards the reason for her seeking me out to be yet another mundane message.

I settled in for what I figured to be a turd of magnificent proportions. I felt the urge, and things had shifted a bit; but something inside me wasn't budging. At first I thought that maybe I wasn't quite ready yet, but then I realized that the problem was slightly more serious: I had created a turd so large and firm that it could not fit through the exit. It was trying, but to no avail.

I tried to relax and let things happen. This brown monster has its pinky sticking out the back door, but the rest of the beast was too big for the escape hatch. I briefly thought of a story about a guy who built a car in his basement and then realized that he couldn't drive it out of the basement. I was rocking back and forth trying to birth this beast when I suddenly felt it rush the back door. The time had come, and I was as ready to see this guest go as it was to leave.

Except it wasn't going to be a quick exit. This shitbrick had the girth of a can of Pringles and had to be longer than Shaq's arm.

I had it about twenty-five percent of the way out when I heard the warehouse door creak open and footsteps rapidly approaching.

Knowing the usual routine, I was expecting an interruption, but I wasn't expecting it to be anything important. As luck would have it, I was wrong. Mary was making a beeline for the crapper door, shouting my name as she came. I was already pissed off about the prospect of having to go hands-on with this brown beast and was in no mood for small talk through the bathroom door. Then she said those words that I never thought I'd hear: "The fire department is here and they're evacuating the building."

Mind you, I had my own evacuation issues to deal with; but I didn't want to burn alive with a giant loaf hanging from my ass like a broken-off telephone pole. On the other hand, there was no way to put this genie back in the bottle. This was an emergency. After dismissing the idea of giving myself a caesarean with my folding knife, I decided that I'd push this beast out with brute force.

I could hear the hustle and bustle of people outside, and I could hear the fire engines idling just outside the warehouse door. This was a life-or-death situation. My wife always joked that I'm going to die on the toilet because I spend so much time in there, but now it might actually come true.

With a massive push, I got things moving. And things kept moving as I felt my insides hollow out. I had to flush twice while it was slithering into the bowl, but I got a chance to glimpse the massive beast. It was easily a yard long (probably more), and before the taper it had to be three inches in girth. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances, I couldn't hang around to marvel at the size of my creation.

I finished up and flushed the remnants of the beast, giving the toilet two extra flushes for good measure. As I bolted from the bathroom I saw two firemen in full gear, one holding an axe and pole. I guessed that he was coming to extract me from the cool confines of my crapper. As I headed out the front door, I noted a distinct lack of smoke or flame.

I got outside just as everyone was returning to his or her offices. I asked Mary what was going on. Apparently, the fire department had been called due to a leaky sprinkler head in the space next to ours, and they were only making a precautionary check of the entire building. There was no emergency. The fire department had not asked us to evacuate the building -- that was Mary's overreaction to seeing the firemen in the building asking questions.

I will be the first to admit to my fellow PoopReporters that this tale is rather anti-climactic, and that the ending lacks panache. But this is a completely true story, not embellished for entertainment purposes, and I felt that it needed to be told. My apologies for the lackluster finale. I received no such apologies from Mary.

doniker (1536) -- 06.30.2006

I liked the story. It was original. I didn't feel let down at the end at all.

and I have to say that your list of the foods you ate made me hungry!!!

Hu Flung Dung (90) -- 06.30.2006

Despite the "anti-climactic" ending, it was not a disappointment at all. It seemed like (from the way you describe them) another run-of-the-mill dangle-snake interruption from Mary the secretary.

I liked it as well. And althoughit was a little bit of a lack-luster ending it just shows that some women will do absolutely anything to keep a man from being comfortable and enjoy a nice shit.

Gaseous G (not verified) -- 06.30.2006

Good story but I'm left wondering how much you weigh. I'm guessing 245 something like that. Also impressed about how cavalier you are about eating and crapping. You don't seem to worry about the consequences of gorging yourself and facing certain diarrhea later. Short commute to work probably and ideal bathroom situation once there (every poop reporters dream). But you load up at bar gig too and bar toilets are the worst . . . I hate even pissing in most of them. Maybe immodium is the way to go but for me it causes temporary constipation followed by rebound gassy loosies . . . vicious circle to be avoided. Please continue to write. Especially enjoy the details of your food.

Nine Inch Log (363) -- 06.30.2006

I enjoyed the story. It wasn't over the top. An uncomfortable shit with another uncomfortable shit running around trying to make things difficult. How you could eat all that without exploding earlier I cannot understand. Perhaps you should stick to granola for a while.

I'm 5'8" and 170lbs. I could stand to lose 10 lbs, but I try to exercise enough to keep the gut under control.

About my drive to work - it's 45 mins to an hour depending on traffic. I do have a good bathroom situation once I get to work.

Bar toilets are nasty, and that one was no exception. But I felt confident in the double dose of ass mints and the food is good (and free) so I couldn't resist.

I don't always eat that bad anymore, but I used to eat worse than that every day. Some weekends I fall off the wagon and eat like that and this story happened to be one of those weekends. It's a testament to the effectiveness of the tiny Immodium pill.

I ate the Sonic breakfast this morning for the first time since this story happened a couple weeks ago, and I'm working at the same bar tonight. And it's a 4-day weekend. Might be another story brewing already.

Logjam (2460) -- 06.30.2006

Hey, Dukey. Great story and nice descriptions. I wonder how many people have a shitter at work that they have sort of claimed as their own? How does that ownership get communicated? Your concern that you didn't have a bang for an ending got me to thinking about the expectations we've formed about what makes a good poop story. I may try to write this up while downing my 4th of July tofu dogs. Looking forward to more of your stories.

GottaGoGirl (2616) -- 06.30.2006

Duke-- I smiled all the way through this story; it was entertainingly written (if "entertainingly" wasn't a word a minute ago, I just made it one). I love that the story reads like a Restaurants Express menu!

Duke, did it NEVER occur to you that Mary NOTICES that you wander alone out to the warehouse, and comes after you in HOPES of FINDING you alone in the warehouse? Maybe all these years she's WANTED to "run into you" out in the WAREHOUSE. Just sayin'.

Logjam, the phrase "tofu dogs" made my toast flip. Heughch.

Crapnac, you're mean.

AssBlaster2000 (1116) -- 06.30.2006

Duke E. Mann, I'm a little jealous that you get to go to Sonic. Around here we have no Sonic's; the closest one is over 50 miles away. However, we see the commercials nonstop. Argggggggh. It looks so much better than regular fast food! Is there any truth to the advertising?

As far as Mary, I am a little creeped out that she finds you on the crapper all the time. Maybe she does want to get it on with you. Watch out.

And I am flabbergasted by your choice of dining. Do you ever eat at home?

Duke E. Mann (41) -- 06.30.2006

As far as Mary disturbing me while I'm in my library goes, let's hope you guys are wrong. She's old enough to be my mom, and I'm no kid.

Sonic is just as greasy and nasty as any other fast food. Meaning it tastes good but it's bad for you.

And now it's time to retreat to my office oasis with a magazine and download this morning's Super Sonic burrito and tater tots. Then it's off to lunch for some Mexican food. Tonight, pulled pork sammiches and beer. But this time there will be no story, I'm feeling good. I will have to run an extra mile tonight to lose that Sonic I ate this morning, though.

Duke E. Mann (41) -- 06.30.2006

AB2K "And I am flabbergasted by your choice of dining. Do you ever eat at home?"

Rarely, maybe one meal per week. Mostly I go to restaurants because I'm not into cooking or cleaning up the kitchen and when I get hungry I'm ready to eat now. I don't even want to think about the money I've spent in restaurants over the years.

Double Flush (603) -- 06.30.2006

Great story! And I can relate too. I used to eat lots and then come home and explode. I've been eating a lot less since getting to college, and I feel so much better. I'm still just as big and heavy as I used to be, but I don't care. At NCSU, I have nowhere to cook other than a microwave or a communal kitchen, so I just use the dining hall since it's already paid for anyway. Plus they have really good food there.

Cool story. I've had those types of turds before. It's kind of scary isn't it? You must have really kicked Mary's ass.

doniker (1536) -- 06.30.2006

I live in Ohio and we have no Sonic either.

When I go to South Carolina I always go to Sonic, I like it.
Another great thing about the South is that some fast food joints have chicken and grits on the breakfast menu.

Thunderbox (890) -- 06.30.2006

Duke, this was a very well written, and dry humoured story. The ending was enough in itself, didn`t need any climax.

I just can`t believe that you eat all this shit and appear to be perfectly OK. You`re only problem seems to be that you have to crap more than once a day - or maybe I`m abnormal in only dropping a fine floating log once a day after breakfast.

i'm in texas, and we have sonic all over here. it's pretty good. they have more choices, as far as fast food is concerned than most places. great desserts too.

KeepOnCrappin (551) -- 06.30.2006

I think the climax was the fire department announcement. Very unexpected and random, made a great story.

I enjoyed the story as well. The turd was as long as Shaq's arm. Did it have a "S" Superman tattoo? Too bad the bad karma of a fire drill interrupted the respect a Pringles can girth turd deserves.

The Dumpster (2506) -- 06.30.2006

This is a "different" kind of PR story. We almost hear too much of the "shit 'n run" variety, but this one chronicles the quotidian existence of a PoopReporter (albeit one with unhealthy eating habits and a voyeuristic co-worker).

Ironically, as I'm writing this, I'm listening to Handel's great oratorio Judas Maccabaeus on the CD player, and the chorus "Sound the Alarm!" just came on.

I associate Sonic with hurricanes. Every year, when I head to hurricane country, I stop at Sonic and enjoy myself. They are all over Florida.

The day after Hurricane Katrina, a very eventful night for me too, I stopped at Sonic and had one of their toaster sandwiches. Emmm.... Toaster sandwich.

Sonics - the closest one to me is the other end of the state, about 5 hours away.

I think my wife has one of those sensors on the work shitter I've claimed as my own; 8 out of 10 times when I go in, my phone will ring with a call from her. It's uncanny, but we laugh about it, both at home and at work.

I don't go to the Sonics around here, but I can tell you that some of their items are so popular that they are marketed in certain stores. For instance, their cherry limeade is sold by certain supermarkets as an Italian ice sort of product by the gallon. Sonics are all over the South.

If you killed Mary then read the jury this story, I'm sure they would return a verdict of justifiable homicide.

Poop Border Agent (9) -- 07.07.2006

Dukie - just a couple comments. 1. When the runs are keeping you from seeing the outside world, hork down a dose and a half of the LIQUID version of Imodium AD. Then drink water and don't eat. Then take an ass mint a few hours later. That always does the trick for this commando. Keeps my shizzo solid so to speak. 2. Been there myself with the 4 lb turd brick that won't break up. My advice, frickn' eat some ruffage bro! Eat a salad and some oatmeal then go ahead and eat that order of greasy pork with cheezy fries and Lone Star beer.

I usually go for the handicrapper. I'm not sure why. I suppose it's habit, as you mentioned. Also it's the first stall one comes to upon entering, and there is a view of the door through the cracks in the stall. I'm a Shameful Shitter, and this allows me to watch when people leave so I know I can get on with business.

Crappen Geocacher (15) -- 07.10.2006

Seems like that big brown fire hose comming out of you, would wreck the colon.

I have no Sonics, that I know of in the midwest.

I have one crapper up front of the store, and 3 crappers in an emloyee_only area (backroom) of the store, and sometimes all 4 crappers are disabled by crazy people, sometimes with brown all over the place, and paper towels plugging up the crappers. Paper towels are a No-No in a crapper. Sometimes the crappers are peed all over too, so I will hold it sometimes, and do it at home.

The handy crapper is the furthest one away, in the back bathroom, and alot of times it is DOWN, but it is the best one to use compared to the others. Even with 3 crappers in the back bathroom, usually only one is used, and that person usually stops for a bit when a person enters the bathroom, including me, since I think most of us at my store are shamefull crappers.

GottaGoGirl (2616) -- 07.10.2006

Dufya-- Everywhere I go, the handicrapper seems to be at the back of the row.

George E.B.-- I prefer a regular stall, only because the handicrappers are so TALL; I have short legs, and don't like to dangle.

You should be a guy, GGG--we always have to "dangle" when we sit down.

GGG--Yes, same goes for most bathrooms, but the one in this dorm is set up really weird. Perhaps I can get pictures some time.

At the moment, the handicrapper is the only desirable one, even though today it sports a new sign (might take a picture if requested). The other two don't have a toilet seat or don't lock.

I have no problem with the handicrapper being higher, because I have long legs anyway. As for dangling, Dumpster, I just try to be careful with that.
