The Winnebago To Lambeau Field

Posted 12.06.2005 by Ollie Norge (10)
I had never tailgated before. In fact, I had no idea what it was. I'm not a sports fan at all, and I have only been in this country for a few years, teaching mathematics at a medium-sized university in the Midwest. I speak native English because my parents served in the military and were stationed in D.C. when they were first married. They taught me the language. But I have an accent that people always ask me about. "Where you from?" is the usual greeting I get.

Where I'm from, soccer and tennis rule the day. American football is basically a game we watch once a year during the Super Bowl, and even that we watch the next day on tape delay. It is exceedingly violent. Some people watch just to see how huge the asses of the football players are. But when another Ph.D. in my department said that his brother-in-law had a Winnebago that he took to Wisconsin to "tailgate" at Packers games, I agreed to go along. I needed to have some fun, experience the life Americana, and get away from my workaholic scheduling.

I waited out in front of my apartment for the luxurious Winnebago to pull up. I was amazed that anyone could own such an expensive vehicle, probably because where I come from gas is over five dollars a gallon. Most people drive economy cars. Or walk.

I had been warned that I was expected to contribute twenty-five dollars to the gas pool, and that there were seven other men expected to participate in the ride. I anticipated a wonderful afternoon in a luxurious American vehicle with seven other American men who would most likely be professionals, given that Walt (not the real name of my colleague) had three PhDs to his credit. I was dressed in my Sunday best -- tweed trousers and two wool sweaters -- and I carried a fox parka from the old country. I had purchased a Kodak camera for the occasion, and I anticipated sending scanned pictures back to my friends in Europe of me and my new rich American friends cruising to American football in a luxurious Titanic-like home on wheels.

I saw it coming from two blocks away. It was a hulking, smoking, disgusting eyesore. I have seen better-looking seventy-year-old blimps in museums. I couldn't believe that anything like that could be street legal. Where I come from, Communism is not that far removed from the memory of anyone over forty; anyone seen driving or riding in a rotting capitalistic corpse like this would be dragged out of there limb by limb, handcuffed to a donkey, and stoned to death by the police constable. Not to mention the public shame of riding in such a gaudy enterprise.

For a brief moment I considered tucking trousers and leaving before they pulled up. How could Walt not warn me about this? He knows that I don't like being around anything unorganized or filthy. I can't go to the bathroom in the university buildings as I'm concerned that I'll catch a disease from this country that they don't have in my own. I am a germaphobe. I also hate being around cigarette smoke, bad breath, and body odors.

The smoking hulk pulled up and I could hear loud music coming through the windows. I relaxed because the music sounded like the old country! Some kind of polka waltz. Maybe these guys were not as bad as I thought.

Stepping into the thing, my worst fears were realized. The driver of the bus looked like a cross between a vampire bat and Hillary Clinton. He was missing at least three teeth in the front and I am not sure how many in back. He gave me a smile that could have made Jell-O melt. "Welcome aboard the Packermobile," was his greeting. "Where's my twenty-five bucks?" Walt's brother-in-law was one of the shiftiest, ugliest, dirtiest people I had ever seen. It looked like he hadn't taken a shower since his first day of school. I instantly regretted getting on the bus.

"Walt is sick, so he's not coming."

I felt sick, myself.

I staggered toward the back where a group of bozos were playing a card game around a crude wooden table. Then the smell hit me. It smelled like an embalmed monkey.

The men introduced themselves to me and then explained: "Don't go in the crapper unless your life insurance is fully paid."

Laughter.

The thing was busted and backed up.

I wanted to vomit.

I was stuck on this sinking Hindenburg with six walking yeast cultures for the next twelve hours. They were covered in tattoos, drinking some form of cheap American beer out of cans, and smoking -- all six were smoking the whole time; two of them were smoking disgusting black cigars that smelled of like armpit of crackwhore.

The truth was I did need to use the bathroom.

I suddenly realized that I wanted to puke.

Opening the door of the bathroom, I nearly purged the contents of my stomach right then, but I tried to keep it back.

The men laughed.

"The door don't work, so if you have to download, hold the door shut with your hand."

I was horrified.

Gripping the doorknob with my left hand, I kneeled over like a pregnant giraffe and pointed the pie hole toward the pot.

It cannot be described, the image of human waste. Flies were everywhere and I simply could not hold back. I spewed a churn of vomit on to the smoking shit.

There was a burst of applause. The walking Petri dish of humanity apparently approved of my performance.

I had never felt so awful. I wanted to die. I was stuck on this thing and these cavemen for the next day.

When I came out of there they asked me if I was okay. I told them I wanted to be left alone for a few moments.

I landed on the bed in back and somehow fell into a fitful, nightmarish sleep.

I awoke when we got to the game, but I told them I was sick and wanted to stay in bed. They left me there. I was still sleeping when the game ended. I think it was a form of instinctual hibernation. My mind and body simply shut off and rendered me nearly comatose.

The Packers lost. The men were dejected. And I still had to go to the bathroom.

But there was no way I was going to re-enter that filthy Winnebago bathroom. I waited until I got home to defecate. By that time I was hunched over -- it had been nearly twelve hours on the Winnebago and more than a day since last plopping. I was overjoyed to be sitting in a warm, clean bathroom again, and away from those monkeys. It came out faster than an anorexic that had been force-fed a Whopper.

After this experience, I am more of a Shameful pooper than before. I think I need therapy -- but how could I ever tell a psychologist the story about the Winnebago restroom without getting nauseous all over again? So it's much better to remain a Shameful pooper for life -- and to stay away from Walt's monkey friends, Winnebago tailgating, and college restrooms.

I think your "friend" set you up. Well written story. It would have been better if you would have crapped your pants.

Shatty Cake (135) -- 12.06.2005

What a horrifying experience. I'm sorry that you as a germophobe had to endure that. But man, did your story make me laugh. It is very well written and has some marvelous metaphors. "Walking yeast cultures" --- BWAAH ha hah!

Pill Pooper (451) -- 12.06.2005

No offfense, Ollie... But you sound like a whiny, European bitch. You describe yourself as somewhat of an intellect, but you didn't know what tailgating on a winne would be like? And tweed pants with a sweater?! I understand your not from the US, but COME ON!!! Know the culture! Good story none the less....

C Everett Poop (587) -- 12.06.2005

I feel for you. Nothing worse than being stuck with a load of cigarette smoking, loser, cretins. I would have bailed out at the first intersection. Good story though.

Great story. When I was younger, I was constantly getting into situations like this -- where you throw yourself into an environment where you have little control so as to have a new experience. These forays into the unknown form the basis of some of my fondest (and worst) memories. But, I have no desire anymore for such adventures, and will not sign up to travel with people I don't know, to get into the car with a driver I don't know, share a hotel room ...., go to dinner... I don't want to be at the mercy of idiots, and idiots are out there in force.

scatoman (253) -- 12.06.2005

Nice story.

I have standards as well, so I can understand how you feel. I, too, find it hard to have a dump in a public toilet or someone else's house, even if it's a clean toilet.

Hope the experience hasn't scarred you for life!

The Big Wiper (2240) -- 12.06.2005

Heh...'a cross between a vampire bat and Hillary Clinton...' Brilliant! One wants to drain your blood, and the other wants to drain your pocketbook!

DungDaddy (1364) -- 12.06.2005

This is a good, funny story. I really like the "pregnant giraffe" image.

It sounded like a good learning experience too. Which is really what you need. Part of being in America is learning to adapt to new situations.

I lived in Europe for over two years, and personally avoided shitting on the culture in which I was immersed, thinking that the natives would invite me to leave as soon as I turned my nose up at them.

Those damn Packers.

How much did you lose on the entire trip?

You said 25 bucks for the gas, but also the ticket?

Plus a day wasted.

Was it the worst day of your life?

Ollie (not verified) -- 12.06.2005

haha to pill pooper.
You want to know something?
I was thinking about wearing a SUIT to the football game. Instead of tweed.

I thought that id be riding with top businessmen and that i would look like a slob. I watch football on monday night football, and the men in the booth wear suits and look rich.

Dont worry absolutely not a arrogant university man. I like regular people the most, but i dont like filthy tatoo covered football tailgaters.

Cracktacular (228) -- 12.06.2005

"smelled of the armpit of a crackwhore" Ahh... takes me back to my college days. I need some clarification of the physics involved here.

You were holding the door closed when you were going to drop dook. When you realized you were going to ralph did you have to let go of the door and turn around leaving yourself vulnerable to the door swinging open and you ass being on display?

Were you able to keep a hold of the knob as you puked?

Did you puke on your junk?

All questions which deserve answers.

"embalmed monkey" Bwah haah har! Great story, would have been cool if you'd sharted and blown crap all over the crapper.

PooperGal (527) -- 12.07.2005

You could have turned and gotten off the bus as soon as you heard that Walt wasn't coming. But, you had to go ahead and put yourself through that hellish experience so that you would have a grand tale to tell your friends back in Norgeland, and here on Poop Report. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The guys probably approved of your puking because they thought you were drunk. Puking a 12-pack always earns approval.

. . . so where are you from?

daphne (3325) -- 12.08.2005

All I could think about after finishing this story was how I, as a child, hated going into a few people's houses as a kid. They smelled "funny". Like, gross. The people catty-cornered across the street and one of my parent's friends who had kids we were expected to play with had houses that smelt like cabbage and ass.

The bathrooms made me sick on a basal level that I can't explain, but I understand to what you're referring. Even if the smell isn't totally gross, as was in your story, the smell of unfamiliar and possibly unkempt foreign butts and armpits repels you on every level from reptilian to the highest reaches of the cerebral cortex.

Sorry for your puke, dude, seriously; and fuck I hate when the Packers lose.

.....hugging bunnies since 1969

Ollie (not verified) -- 12.08.2005

Here's the answers to the questions.

Yes, Walt had in mind the entire time to 'set me up". You should have seen the whole mathematics department laughing at me when i was back at work tuesday.

I got the last laugh. They all read this story and now im famous in the university.

Holding the door shut was not too hard, and i heard those guys out there talking about the new guy with the funny looking pants puking in the bathroom.

Fart Poopie (1257) -- 12.11.2005

I would have turned around and stayed home. No way I would spend a day smelling the smell of a whore's armpit.

Nice Tail(!) Ollie, reminds me of when I was at school on a trip to Normandy on a coach with 50-60 students and teachers. The bog looked like it had been pillaged by the Nazis. Similar door scenario (or lack thereof) and a stench of urine so bad it could gag a maggot. Imagine that driving up from Calais... terrific. (Sorry for all non-Europeans reading)

The Dumpster (2510) -- 01.05.2006

Reminds me of one time when I was on the schoolbus with Fatback in the rain--But that story, and others, will have to wait until I get around to creating "The Fatback Archive" (and St. Dave lets me post it...).

The Shit Volcano (3646) -- 01.05.2006

Wow. I missed this one. That's gross.

I would never have gone into the Winnebago in the first place. That kind of trash is why I never had the desire to go to keggers or stay in a college dorm. Drunks are gross.

Bunga Din (1238) -- 01.05.2006

This was just a typical male bonding /hazing, the guys probably meant no harm, just welcoming you into the fold.

Poop Shooter (597) -- 01.27.2006

you poor poor man. Even though I don't do sports, they do create some awesome stories. The thought of the bathroom is rather up-chuckingly beautiful! Poop Shooter

Up-chuckingly butiful. LOL.

great story ollie, but don't give up hope on the wonders of a winebago. if ever you get a chance & can spare the cash, renting (a new) one & taking a bit of a trip to such places as the national parks area is always fun.

Turdcutting Nomad (not verified) -- 02.14.2006

Even a clean older Winnebago is cool! The toilet is basically a plastic outhouse, sitting directly over a 35-40 gallon waste tank (with a separate similar sized tank for dirty water); no pipes or anything to get 'backed up.' Seven guys would have to piss, crap 5 gallons each, and it still shouldn't have filled up; from the sounds...er...smell of things, the Hilary Bat hadn't dumped it since he got it. Excellent story, btw!

GottaGoGirl (2615) -- 02.16.2006

I wonder, since the friend KNEW you had aversions to anything: Unorganized, Filthy, Smoky, Germy, Bad Breathy, or Body Odory...if maybe he set you up with the cast of "Deliverance" on purpose. Just a thought. And my, my. You seem to have a weak stomach, as well. I would have thought you would be made of tougher stuff, coming from a place where the constable stones people to death. Just POOstulating.

Bunghole In the... (432) -- 03.19.2006

Ollie, I loved the evisceral imagery you incorporated into the story. Butt, your story raises so many questions:

What did you doo to piss off Walt so he'd set you up for the ride of a lifetime and are you still on speaking terms?

Was the Winnebago owner really so stupid as not to figure out one must drain the black water tank with the hose positioned at a downward angle?

Knowing that the toilet facilities within the stadium were much more sanitary than the RV bathroom, why didn't you go in--if for no other reason than to relieve yourself? [Me, just thinking that someone who obtained a PhD would have figured that one out... Then again, I've met a few individuals with multiple doctorates who possessed absolutely no common sense and needed instructions to change the batteries in a flashlight.]

Have you been to a live football game yet? If so, did you wear dress trousers or jeans?

Don't you know 90% of bent-over asses look big in spandex? Try some on next time you're out shopping and do a bend over in the mirror surround. It's not pretty. Spandex is da debil!

I agree with bunghole in the jungle.
Spandex is a privilege, not a right.

I can be a bit germophobic at times, but what you are describing is just plain piggish of them. I would have told them to let me off, and I'd walk home.

I highly suspect that your buddy set you up for a prank.

I have only been in a Winnebago once, and by far, not under those living conditions.
