Preparing For The Summer Stoolstice

Posted 06.18.2007 by Dave (11538)
Editor's note: With June 21 fast approaching, I'm reposting this article to help you prepare for this wonderful PoopReport tradition: the Summer Stoolstice.

The universe is like a giant Swiss clock. Gravity and other magical forces effortlessly keep the planets and the stars floating around space with the precision and regularity that only someone on all-oatmeal diet can possibly replicate. So exact is the rotation of the Earth around the sun that on every June 21, without fail, there occurs the celestial event known as the Summer Solstice. This is the day when the tilt of the Earth is at its least drastic relative to the sun, and thus occurs, in the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day of the year.

The Summer Solstice has happened every year since the Earth started rotating. June 21st, 2005, however, also marks the third annual celebration of a very important tradition here at PoopReport: the Summer Stoolstice.

Achieving the elusive eighteen-incher is a difficult feat; but if there were one day a year to strive for it, this is it. The trick is two-fold: a regimented two-day diet of hard-to-pass sustenance, followed by a sudden massive influx of cleansing fiber. Starting on June 19, you want to fill up your stomach with a mess of difficult-to-digest bung (PHASE 1), and then bind it and shove it all loose with a tremendous burst of fiber (PHASE 2).

My intuition tells me that Phase 1 should consist of fatty meat, cooked as thoroughly as you can stand it. A little bit of research brought me to Digestive Control by Anne Mears, which gives us these tips:

"The specific food vs. digestion time: Carbohydrates (fruits, cereals) require the least amount of time to digest; proteins (legumes) is second, and last of all, requiring the most time to digest are the lipids (nuts, nut butters). A mixture of two or three (beans and rice) requires even more time to digest."

"Method of food preparation: Fried food or foods containing high amounts of oils or hardened fats, require more time to digest. A cereal cooked very well is easier to digest than one that is partially cooked."

"Too much water or juice taken with the meals will dilute the digestive juices, and slow digestion: 'Food should not be washed down. Taken with meals, water diminishes the flow of saliva; and the colder the water, the greater the injury to the stomach... The more liquid there is taken into the stomach with the meals, the more difficult it is for the food to digest; for the liquid must first be absorbed.'"

Ms. Mears, of course, suggests we should avoid slow digestion. But in Phase 1 of celebrating the Summer Stoolstice, slow digestion is exactly what you want -- you want to retain as much of your food in your stomach as you can. So follow the above guidelines all day the 19th and most of the 20th to ensure record-breaking bulk.

But building up your internal mass is the simple part. That's like packing a barrel full of gunpowder -- easy, but benign without a fuse. So on the evening of the 20th, you bring your preparations to fruition. On the 20th, the last meal you should eat (dinner, if you dine late, or a late-night snack) should be as much fiber as you can possibly handle.

Oatmeal, for instance. At least two bowls.

Oatmeal, bran muffins, fiber-filled cereal, raw green veggies, brown rice, beans, a triple helping of Metamucil for dessert... they don't make the most delectable dinner, I know. But for the Summer Stoolstice, this is the sacrifice that must be made. In order to achieve maximum chunk on the 21st, you need this injection of fiber to bind your churning mound and push it out. Making its way through your system, the fiber should scrape your internal nooks and crannies clean and free of any clinging pockets of stool, clumping your huddled masses together in what you hope to be a celestial event of your own.

Pooping for sport (or ritual, in this case) is not an easy task. No two colons react the same, which means what works for me may not work for you. However, if you follow these guidelines starting on June 19th, June 21st should be a long and memorable day for you indeed. Good luck!

Count me in! I may not drop a bomb on the 21st exactly but as regular as I am I will be thinking of all you shameful and shameless shitters on that day. Thats really what its all about anyway. The ONE thing that is one of the great equalizers in our society. So take a dump, lets celebrate!

Darn it, I was a few days early. After a ten mile race Saturday the urge to purge hit me driving home near Smyrna TN. I dropped oatmeal induced bombs: one turd was nine inches long and three smaller segments were three inches each. Good lcuk on the 21st fellow PRers.

Postman (260) -- 06.18.2007

I don't think I'll have a problem with this. Most of the time my poops are at least 15" long. I'll just eat one or two bowls of raisin bran before the 21st and I'll be fine.

I had two 10 ounce steaks this weekend and now I'm constipated. Maybe I'll hold this in and give this year's stoolstice a try.

Given my past and current medical situation, I know that my material contribution for the Stoolstice will be no more (hopefully no less) than it is on a daily basis. A 3" x 18" delivery is something for me to experience vicariously, thanks to the pages of PR. I can and will squat in spiritual communion with my PR brethren on the 21st, celebrating the commonality of crap on the longest day of the year.

I will be eating a 20" length of rope in order to make the long one this year.

I have altered my diet accordinly for tomorrow. Though I can't promise an 18 incher, I can promise blood, as my 'rhoids are back again.

Let's see what happens.

Sorry, Healthy, but that just popped into my head when I read your post. :-)

The Nashville precinct is reporting its early return. Because of local heat, humidity, exercise, a diet full of salad, cold foods and plenty of water, my Summer Stoolstice was plentiful but very soft. I managed to make quite the stink (a local lager or two added some aroma) and fill the bottom of the bowl. I felt much lighter and certainly relieved. Today's extreme tilt of the earth's axis did not affect the watery pile by shifting it to one side of the bowl.

GottaGoGirl (2615) -- 06.21.2007

I sacrificed length for volume; the squiggles sank and quite filled up the exit, effectively topping it off with a little swirl.

If we're supposed to take the longest crap possible on the summer stoolstice, I'm hoping that you don't advocate constipation on the winter stoolstice.

Maybe for winter stoolstice we should only crap before sunrise or after sunset? You know, like the PR version of Rahmahdan. And it would be the right time of year too.

I had little squiggly ones this morning...but don't worry, I pulled them out of the bowl and laid them end to end...nah, just kidding, I didn't really pull out my poop, I made mom do it.

Postman (260) -- 06.21.2007

Unfortunatly, just dropped a few small nuggests this morning, so mine was a complete failure. I've been on vacation this week, so I've been eating a bunch of crap and drinking way too much beer-time to break out the Metamucil.

The Shit Volcano (3646) -- 06.21.2007

Sorry, guys. I had explosive, bowl-filling diarrhea. If it makes you feel any better, I did manage to clog the toilet and if you took the liquid feces out and lined it up, it might have reached a healthy 18 inches or more. Damn olive oil!

What if everyone farted at once?

Sitting Wiper (not verified) -- 06.22.2007

Type 4 for the Summer Stoolstice (may 3 hours after sunrise) on Bristol Stool chart, though not one continous snake. At peace with the world; at peace with myself.

_ I used my Omega juicer the other day to make cabbage/carrot juice. Drank that and then used the left over pulp to make a delicious tomato pasta sauce. The sauce was served over whole wheat pasta. Well, anyway, mine came this morning in full force. I just flushed away the past and now feel great! Time for summer fun. _____

I read this and thought the info was great! I've been tinkering with what "builds the perfect shit" for me for awhile now.... and this gives some good bio/science behind the priciple of digestions that help. Especially to create a perfect two-day decker (on purpose).
Thanks Dave! I had a great stoolstice! :)
Hope y'all did too...
