I cannot get the sound on those videos right now, but I can tell you I am for it. I don't necessarily like the spousal retribution of hitting, but passing gas is an important bodily function.
Why just last night I busted one loose at my teenage granddaughters birthday party, I sat there in horror as they gagged and blamed each other!
....+1 on both of them..farting is fun...as said..."its a natural bodily function"...shoot, retain all that...anal retention ..an,well....you wind up with some serious health issues...and you CAN fall out of some "social circles"....such a travisty...."better in the air a flyin' than in the gut a dyin' " was one of my grandparents sayin'..another great reason i hung out with them alot...was too much fun bein' with them......great role models(god rest their soles).Always fun to"blame the dog/cat" when "cuttin' loose".LT
I disturbed mine one evening on the chair where we watch the TV. ( I failed at a massive one cheek sneak ) he looked back annoyed the second time I did it.
That weekend I was unloading the dishwasher, he uncharacteristically walked IN FRONT of me under the door of the machine, I thought that there was a problem with it,with that horrible odor. After finishing the unload.I closed the door, and took the dishes to put up to the other side of the room, I noted he passed in front of me again a moment or two later, a horrific burning stench assaulted my nose,
the little bastard was crop dusting me..... Cats Rule ......
I named my pug Kelsey. Had her for over a month as a puppy. No defining characteristic had presented yet to inspire a name. Then one night we're watching the movie Toy Story, with a character Stinky Pete.
The pug - all four pounds of her at this point - puffed one out and it cleared the room. Both humans and both of the other dogs left. She'd had a habit of doing this...but nothing this bad or timed like this.
Now, she was a she. Can't really call her Pete, and since I'm not six I'm not going to name a dog "stinky". However...Stinky Pete was voiced by Kelsey Grammar of Cheers and Frasier fame.
My poor dog Max was always a silent but deadly farter. It smelled like burning hair. But, when he got sick in the final year of his life, his farts were just unreal. He would fart in the bedroom and it would literally wake me up (but not him) and I'd have to go stand in the shower for a while. I really miss him, farts and all.
My sister in law has been known to call me up and fart in the phone and hang up. It all started when she was in the hospital after a kidney transplant operation and the Dr' would not let her leave until she passed gas. Her older sister (my SO) and I took turns massaging her abdomen until she broke loose. Unfortunately it happened when I was helping her and the nurse walked in. I was my usual comic self (more so in uncomfortable situations) and when she let loose I cried something like "Halleluiah! Let the power of farts HEAL YOU sister!" The nurse was crying with laughter.
The Dr. released her the next day and ever since we have had that special bond... lol!
Speaking of dog farts, my dalmatian/terrier mix is well known for clearing the room with his gas. I've even witnessed someone throwing up because of his stench.
Was reading a murder intrigue mystery in Jr High - one of the scenes was of old perverted judges to get naked and in a circle participate in social flagellation .....
I was convinced they were farting in a circle,.... until I got the Dictionary out.
Mark - no new pups yet. Just making a point to love my girls as much as I can right now. I'm going to wait til I can take a short vacation and spend some time with a new one helping it get oriented...
Also doing research into breeds that I like, that dont shed too much. Seems like a daily affair, me vacuuming up tumble-fur!!
I cannot help but be reminded of a long past good friend who spoke of his storied experiences in Vietnam.
He told me a story of a hooker who always smiled and farted while doing the deed. The guys all complained that it would stink so bad, a man would have to quit just as he really got going. Her excuse for her lack of control was, as she put it, "front hole have so much fun, back hole laugh!" .....
Hey Griff........i remember that from way,way back when...i believe in the mid 60's i first heard that...thanks for bringin' that oldie but goodie one..almost forgot that one
Would you consider someone a "social smoker" or "social drinker" if they can have a few cigarettes and drinks at a party or social event and then go for months without alcohol or tobacco? I fall into that catagory. I had some beers and cigarettes memorial day weekend on a canoe trip with some friends. It was the first smoke I'd had since New Years. I finished off a pack over two days but haven't smoked since. I'd typically just say that I don't smoke or drink. Since the times I smoke or drink in a year can be counted on one hand. When I was younger and going out every weekend and smoking and drinking then I considered myself a smoker, even though I didn't smoke during the week. I think those of us that can smoke and not pick up the habit are rare though.
True, it's not just will power, it's genetic. There's a funny story ( if you like irony ) about the development of Heroin. It was intended to be a non addictive substitute for Morphine.
Some people just don't get addicted to opiates. They work, they kill the pain, but no addiction. Those people tend to be detail oriented and are just the kind of folk you want on a project to develop new drugs. It turns out the test crew for the initial research were all non-addicting-to-opiates guys, so they thought they had a real winner and published. Then they discovered that Heroin was worse than Morphine, and the genetic connection to addiction. Life is funnier than we know.
But, yeah, I'd consider you a Social drinker/smoker. I've known a few. Most who claim that they are, aren't. ( hence the denial comment. Just goes to show that I'm not always right.... )
Another comment about the video. It's a good comparison; smoking and farting. Smoking around someone who doesn't smoke is alot like farting. If you know them and know they don't mind then it's ok, otherwise err on the side of caution. This is why I only smoke with friends who smoke. I also only fart around friends that fart around me.
Then there's probably my biggest dislike of tobacco, after the whole lung cancer thing, the smell. I can't stand stale cigarette smell. I'd rather have a dozen friends recreate the campfire scene from Blazing Saddles in my living room than have one person smoke half a cigarette in my house. At least farts don't stick around for days.
