  • Dude. I'm speechless.

    Hey! What if there are a bunch of these terms?! You should make a "Specific Excrement" list.

    February 23, 2007

  • Um...no, that's okay. You can do it.

    No, really.

    February 23, 2007

  • If this list is made, never, ever read it.

    February 23, 2007

  • Jeesh, that was nine frigging months ago, and I'm a different person now. Um, I also plead the fifth. If that doesn't work, I'm deeply sorry and hope from the bottom of my heart that you can find it within yourself to forgive me. Or at least give me some eye wash so I can purge the excremental photoresidue from my corneas.

  • See also spraint. Apparently otters can poo just one little bit of poo at a time. What a skill!!
