Damn I was just about to make a new thread, too.

Ah well, I got one this week already.

Mojo_Jojo

A+ would read again.

OremLK

His abdomen is pretty close to exploding

Then the alien will dance and sing with his cane and top hat

DarkPrimus

This comic is disgusting!

Poorochondriac

That last panel is absolutely fantastic in every conceivable way

Tossrock

No poop threads

HeadCreeps

I, too, feel vulnerable when pooping somewhere other than my home.

But there comes a time when a man must choose: using a public restroom, or shitting your pants.

Pony

going camping/hunting/extended hiking pretty much cures you of this kind of anxiety

when there's a possibility that while shitting you might be eaten by a mountain lion or a bear

pooping in someone else's house or a public bathroom stops being scary

HeadCreeps

Also the third panel will be great edit material

Duke Phillips

Wow Tycho's shit is gonna break some porcelain.

I'm not so much uncomfortable pooping in a public restroom, I just don't like pooping with other people around. As long as no one's in the public restroom, I'm good is what I'm getting at. I don't need you hearing how often and the inferred size of my waste exiting my body.

tardcore

In middle school and high school, when certain dudes knew that other dudes were taking a poop in the stalls, they'd bang on the doors, peek over the top and throw water on the poopers. I blame them for my fear.

SabreMau

Then it's time to take an overseas trip and visit a Japanese toilet.

Mojo_Jojo

I never came across any of their crazy toilets when I was in Japan. I think they are mostly a relic of the past. Like how I've not seen a bidet anywhere for about fifteen years.

No Great Name

I just make a caveat to this rule, and anywhere I'm staying for more than 4 days becomes my poop home.

Or else I just hold it.

Duke Phillips

I'd like to go to Japan at one point but things like that keep making me think: umm......

That and I've always heard that if you're tall or blonde or something like that then you're stared at (at least in the bigger cities). I'm tall and my fiance's blonde so I don't know that I would want that kind of attention. That could be completely wrong (is it?) but that's what I've heard from others.

You mean at least in the smaller villages. In Tokyo nobody gives a fuck that you're western. Travel out to a little village though and you get kids high fiving you and random gentlemen offering to give you lifts in their fancy cars when you walk down the street. It's pretty great.

Duke Phillips

That's pretty fucking awesome. I know a girl from high school that's stationed with the navy in Tokyo so I may have to look into a trip at some point.

It varies from place to place. Some have one style, some have the other, some have a couple of each. But yeah, the newer the building, the less likely it is to have exclusively floor toilets. At most, it will have some of each.

Blake T

Seriously? You won't visit another country because their toilets are different?

That's, really sad.

Munkus Beaver

I've never had that problem.

Blake T

Munkus, what do you do with a colostomy bag? Are they supposed to be re-useable or do just detach it and hide it under people's pillows?

Tef

The timing on this is spooky. I just did a poop in the office toilet. Another guy was walking down the same hallway to do a poop. It's a long corridor, we were both thinking, 'oh god, I hope he doesn't have to poop too'.

We both did. Sychronised pooping. I made a quick break outta there so we wouldn't be at the hand basins at the same time.

that's my pooping story

Very nearly every train station I was in in Japan had those awful ground toilets, as well as quite a number of other facilities (all of the schools I worked in, for example, and a significant number of my friends' schools as well)

It's true that they're less common now, especially in nicer/newer buildings, but they are painfully far from becoming the relic that they should

The hotel I was in my first night in Japan had a western style toilet with lots of interesting buttons.

When we visited other places I did see a bunch of floor toilets. Never had to poop in one though. The host family I stayed with had a toilet that had a sink on top of it though.

Seriously

okay poop is coming out

Tef

the dutch have weird toilets. You poop on this little ceramic ledge in the bowl. When you flush it pushes the poop off the ledge and down into the water

I can't hold it, because I just start farting incessantly.

Honk

I would probably need a 5-page picture pamphlet on how to properly use that Japanese toilet.

I saw that my friend had one of these when I was at his place for a party once.

At first I thought I had had too much to drink

Weirded me out it did

Fuck that just made me think. What would happen if you tried to throw up in one?

Honk

As a European, American toilets weird me out. The water level is usually so high up in the bowl that you have to pay attention so that you don't submerge your dick in the water.

Fatty McBeardo

Gabe's arms in the first panel... chimp arms. he's going to attack someone and eat their hands and face at pax. i just know it.

On the other hand, the squat-style toilets have maybe half an inch of standing water, if any at all. Given that the function of water in a toilet is to instantly submerge odors, these stalls tend not to do that very well.

Honk

You are meant to savor the smell.

SabreMau

That part's already accomplished by the fact there's a little wastebasket next to the toilet in which you're supposed to place used toilet paper.

Honk

Ew no, where have you seen that?

This.

So much.

Also European toilets still have enough water to submerge all but the mightiest of shits.
