Althouse: Andrew Sullivan is "particularly struck" by that passive-aggressive note saying "someone pooped" in the shower.

January 10, 2009

Andrew Sullivan is "particularly struck" by that passive-aggressive note saying "someone pooped" in the shower.

Link to Andrew Sullivan.

Link to Passive Aggressive Notes.

Now, I like the blog Passive Aggressive Notes — I just blogged about blogrolling it — but singling out the "someone pooped" note to say that it "particularly struck" you?

One comment is very instructive:

Feature on the guy who directs televised football games: "If you have a good shot, he uses it."

Bissage said...: I worked my way through college as a janitor in a department store.

One evening I got a call to go to the Junior Miss department right away.

When I got there I found that someone had taken a crap in one of the fitting rooms.

The salespeople stood there horrified as I put my hand in a little plastic shopping bag and simply picked it up.

I made sure everyone was watching and then I pretended to lick it for dramatic effect.

That turd was enormous but hard and very well-formed. It was very black and shiny which indicated upper GI bleeding, according to my physician brother-in-law.

Anyway, as I said before, it was huge.

No junior miss laid that stinky ole bad boy, no sir!

True story.

Now . . . what was that again about Andrew Sullivan?; 1/10/09, 8:56 AM

Bissage said...: The comment I set out above, that being a remembrance of turds past, and my reference to “Fellini Satyricon”, set forth here, has caused me to consult my own personal Ziggy Archive™ to find a single-panel cartoon by the late, great Charles Rodrigues.

Ah yes, here it is:

A janitor is holding a wet mop and about to clean out a filthy, nasty stall in a public men’s room. He’s had enough of it and he loses his temper and he waves his fist in the air and he shouts out loud: “Goddamn hermaphrodites! Come in here, piss all over the seats, and then throw your dirty tampons all over the floor!”

To those of us who have been there, that’s a side-splitter.; 1/10/09, 10:33 AM

DaLawGiver said...: When I was in the 2nd grade I rode the bus to and from school everyday. One afternoon as bus driver Willie put on the brakes to stop before a railroad crossing a baseball-sized turd rolled down the isle towards the front of the bus. Willie pulled the bus over to the side of the road and with a snarl demanded to know who did it. No one fessed up so we never found out. We think it was Amanda but no one could ever prove it. Besides, she was wearing tights that day.; 1/10/09, 1:09 PM
