TMI Thursday

Now get ready, my darlings, for the ever popular, yet gravely feared, TMI THURSDAYS…***

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My TMI this week is simply this…

Every time I read one of Moog‘s posts, I pee myself a little.

No, really. Right in my desk chair. THAT’S how awesome he is. See, the thing is, over there, every day is TMI Thursday. Which is why I am totally blown away and honored that the King of WAYYYYYYYY Too Much Information has agreed to fill in for me this week, and blow us all away with little (vomitous) nugget from his past. (Seriously, when Mike called me “The Female Moooooog, I almost teared up a little bit.) From his motivational posters to his “Dear Moog” segments, he (delightfully) disturbs me each and every day.

I give you: The Funniest and Most Un-PC Blogger on the Block… Moog!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Riding My Bike Through the Hersey Highway

Ex-lax is bad news for fat kids.

I know this from experience.

As a kid, I was a fat shit.

I was not “chunky”.

I was not “big-boned”.

I was fat.


I was fat before it was fashionable (as is evidenced now by young super-fat kids wearing crap that they should NOT be wearing. Honey, if I can see your belly button THROUGH your shirt, you need to buy a bigger shirt).

I only got my jeans from the Sears’ “Husky” department (today, in an effort to stay hip, this section is now called “Phatty Phat Phat Gangstas Yo”).

When I got home from school, I had roast beef sandwiches for a snack.

Yes…my “snack” was beef and bread.

My friend once looked at me eating after school one day and said, “What the Hell are you eating?”

I said, nonchalantly, “My snack.”

He said, “An Oreo is a snack. That’s not a snack.”

He was right. So I had an Oreo after I ate my sandwich.


It wasn’t bad being a fat kid back then, really. I just couldn’t really do any exercise (not necessarily a bad thing since exercise tends to make me tired-ish with a side of swamp ass). The worst part was having the fat nicknames. My name is Rodney. I had a small group of close friends – maybe 4 or 5 really GOOD friends.

They’d call me “Round-ney.”

These were my fucking GOOD friends.

On a related note: I’m not a very good judge of character.

Anyway, one of my friends had a sister. Every day, she would go bike riding and one day she asked me to go with her. I was excited (hey! my loins feel funny!), as normally girls wouldn’t talk to me.

Nowadays they just take out restraining orders those stupid VINDICTIVE BITCHES!!

Ahem.

Sorry.

So I was getting ready to leave the house, and was in the bathroom when I opened the cabinet.

There, in the top drawer, was a small box of chocolates.

I had never heard of “Ex-lax” chocolates, but there they were sitting in front of me…in all their chocolaty goodness.

So I ate some.

* num num num

I ate, like, four of them.

* NUM NUM NUM NUM

Four. Ex-Lax.


Keep in mind, I’m 8 fucking years old.

…and I’ve unwittingly ingested enough laxative to completely evacuate the lower intestines of every inhabitant of Somalia.

But, with chocolate in my belly and a song in my heart (Bay City Rollers ROCK DA HOUSE!), I gleefully jump on my bike, and off I go.

About two miles from my house, my friend’s sister stops to talk to a friend on the side of the road. I don’t know this friend, so I’m sitting off in the background…my thoughts to myself…

…it’s just then that I feel the bubble.

*BLURGLE*

???

…again…

*BLURGLE BLURGLE ZIING*

“Wow,” I’m thinking. “This is going to be a big fart.”

So I back up a bit, and ease a cheek off my bike seat and try to squeeze out a silent toot.

Instead…

I completely and utterly shit myself.

I shit like I was trying to put out a goddamn fire with it.


The poo wouldn’t stop.

The Ex-lax was hitting me like a gift that kept on giving.

Me: “…what the…?!”

I can only imagine my face…completely shocked and wide-eyed as this was NOT the fart I was expecting.…

…and now my face is also pale as all the blood has drained from it and is now concentrated around my ever-constricting bowels trying to STOP THIS POO…MOTHER OF GOD…FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY…MAKE IT STOP!!!

I managed to scream out, “I have to go home!” to my buddy’s sister.
<

br />She waved a “whatever” wave (she thankfully had NO idea I had just completely emptied the entire contents of my colon into my pants)…and off I went.

…two miles…on my bike…

…ass completely smeared in Husky-jean-trapped-poo…

…actually…I’m on a bike…and I’ve got TWO miles to go…so I’m sitting in it.

Damage is done.

No use standing to pedal – it will ruin my shoes.

So with every pedal comes a *squish, squish, squish*

..ugh…

Completely humiliated, I arrive home probably smelling like an unshowered Rosie O’Donnell after yoga class.

I have no idea how my mother is going to take the news from her 8-year old boy that he has just shit his pants.

So I snuck into the bathroom, and chucked my shit stained pants down the laundry chute.

My underwear…completely destroyed and in poo-covered tatters…

…well…

…I threw those under my bed.

I have NO idea what I was thinking in doing this.

I think, early on, I pioneered the concept of biodegradation.

I assumed that the atmospheric pressure, environmental factors and my very own poo-bacteria would simply – and odorlessly – dissolve my Underoos.

I have no idea if it dissolved under there or not.

My mother NEVER said a thing to me about it.

Ever.

I can’t imagine her sheer horror in discovering (a) not only my poopy pants in the laundry chute but then (b) realizing my underwear was not with them…and finding them later on…under my bed…

…potentially alive.

Ex-lax and fat kids.

Please, ladies and gentlemen, keep them separate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ahem. I’m not even going to try to follow that. Happy TMI Thursday, people… and a big fat thanks to Moog.

Just don’t shake my hand.

That’s just…that’s just…wow. I’m completely speechless.

2 Jules April 16, 2009 at 10:14 am

I cannot even imagine being a mother and finding the pants….and then the underwear. And I know the horror of embarrassment, but this takes the cake, chocolate, whatever. wow. brutal.

3 Woolly April 16, 2009 at 10:40 am

I needed that!
that is some funny shit
(good choice of words, eh?)

4 PQ April 16, 2009 at 10:44 am

Here’s my TMI Thursday: http://thepqnation.com/blog/2009/04/tmi-thursdays-discovering-tampons/

I’ll be back to comment on the blog after I get to work.

5 Serena April 16, 2009 at 11:35 am

I just hyperventilated in the office laughing my head off! I got some weird looks from my colleagues! Brilliant x

6 jason April 16, 2009 at 11:56 am

gross.

7 jen - tsk April 16, 2009 at 11:59 am

I have to say I’m devastated! I wrote my comment, like a good reader, but unfortuantely Blogger decided to throw a strop and so wouldn’t publish it! Now I can’t remember what I wrote!

I literally cried laughing though! Your poor mom, just think though, she might have thought you’d had an “accident” twice! your mum could think you were a poopy child!! x

8 Shannon April 16, 2009 at 12:00 pm

Best. Story. Ever.

9 Fearless in Toronto April 16, 2009 at 12:30 pm

Never, ever, exceed the recommended dosage of Ex-Lax. Ever.

10 JFo April 16, 2009 at 12:37 pm

I think if moms ever broke their code of silence, everyone would be in big trouble (or just really embarrassed.) I’m a big fan of the 8-year old logic of “I’ll just throw it under my bed.”

12 Shelly April 16, 2009 at 1:06 pm

OMG that was hysterical. That completely made my morning that started out like crap! Thank you!

13 Racquel Valencia April 16, 2009 at 1:12 pm

OH. MY. GOD.

I started laughing so hard my boss asked me if I was OK. I think I just shat myself a little.

14 Just Playing Pretend April 16, 2009 at 1:20 pm

Roast Beef Sandwiches aren’t a normal after school snack?

Dammit. All this time, I thought everyone else was just freakishly skinny.

I wonder if I have any “chocolately treats” in the bathroom. I’m going to look.

15 Matt April 16, 2009 at 1:25 pm

You can never trust a fart.

16 Marie April 16, 2009 at 1:31 pm

All I can muster up to say is “ew”.

17 alexa - cleveland's a plum April 16, 2009 at 1:48 pm

i would have been traumatized for life. LIFE.

18 Miles To Go Before I Sleep...... April 16, 2009 at 1:52 pm

I seriously think I almost pooped myself reading that post! I absolutely almost rolled off my ball reading it! (yes, I sit on an exercise ball at my computer desk)

“exercise tends to make me tired-ish with a side of swamp ass”

EXACTLY. One of the many reasons I avoid execise like it’s a curse… and prolly one of the reason’s I can totally identify with the fat part ;-)

I wrote a TMI too but this one is by far MUCH better :-)

19 Fizzgig April 16, 2009 at 1:55 pm

Ah! Thats classic!!!!! Laxatives are evil!

but it gives me reason 456,789,305 not to have kids.

They hide their shitty underwear under their beds and stink up the joint.

20 Liebchen April 16, 2009 at 1:57 pm

Good god…nicely done. I laughed out loud at this: “I can only imagine my face…completely shocked and wide-eyed as this was NOT the fart I was expecting.…”

Here’s mine: http://liebchen11.wordpress.com/2009/04/16/tmi-thursday-a-pictures-worth-a-thousand-words/

21 brookem April 16, 2009 at 2:00 pm

oh holy hell. shit. no pun intended, seriously.

22 inkpuddle April 16, 2009 at 2:06 pm

Bwaha! That was awesome…and disgusting.

23 FoggyDew April 16, 2009 at 2:07 pm

Holy Crap! Yeah, I meant that. This was bust out laughing in the middle of the office funny.

I had a similar experience once with something not-quite-chocolate. Thankfully mine was just unsweetened baking chocolate.

24 K @ Blog Goggles April 16, 2009 at 2:18 pm

You two are my heroes.

25 Robyn April 16, 2009 at 2:25 pm

Omg thanks for the laugh. That’s just what I needed today! Soooo funny!

26 Kylie April 16, 2009 at 2:28 pm

I can’t stop laughing! I’m even crying!

27 Mike April 16, 2009 at 2:30 pm

I don’t know why, but the funniest part of this was:

*BLURGLE*

I haven’t laughed that hard when he described vomiting as *SPLURTCH*.

I might be twice the size of moooog, but really, i’m only half the man.

Awesome.

Oh, I volunteer my services to do a TMI guest post for you. I might as well do it for you, so MORE people will know how much of a ‘tard I am.

28 justjp April 16, 2009 at 2:32 pm

This is what TMI is all about!

29 LBluca77 April 16, 2009 at 2:33 pm

Why does this not surprise me about moog as an 8 year old. Well done moog, well done.

And yes it is TMI Thursday over at Moogs everyday. But that’s why we love him.

30 Girl On A Journey April 16, 2009 at 2:33 pm

LMAO! I think about to pee myself

31 Kate April 16, 2009 at 2:38 pm

Oh. Dear. God.

BTW, I love the picture you always put up to accompany your TMI posts. Someday, however, I am going to get fired when my boss walks by my computer while it’s up. You’ll find me a new job, yes?

32 Kristina P. April 16, 2009 at 2:43 pm

Wow. I don’t think anything can beat that.

33 moooooog35 April 16, 2009 at 2:55 pm

Thanks to LiLu for having me.

Literally.

B – thanks for playing the role of ‘fluffer.’

To everyone else:

Thanks for the comments.

In lieu of comments (in LiLu of comments?) I accept cash and check.

I will also accept Visa if you swipe it in just the right spot.

Thanks in advance.

34 Sarah, The New Girl April 16, 2009 at 2:58 pm

hahahahahahaha wow. I needed that. I seriously laughed the whole way through. The dad of the kids I nanny probably thinks I’m on drugs.

35 liferehab April 16, 2009 at 3:08 pm

That was great! here’s my TMI, but it definitely doesn’t beat that.

36 Deutlich April 16, 2009 at 3:13 pm

I think I might be pissing my pants right now.

37 Pop Champagne April 16, 2009 at 3:27 pm

38 PorkStar April 16, 2009 at 3:29 pm

41 WickedCourtni April 16, 2009 at 4:15 pm

I am going to come back and comment when I can see the screen. I am crying, I am laughing so god damn hard.

42 repliderium.com April 16, 2009 at 4:15 pm

Did you relate the shit spray to the exlax or did you go back for some more of it’s chocolaty goodness to console yourself?

43 shine (the artist formerly known as meshealle) April 16, 2009 at 4:18 pm

Is it bad to say that I’m so glad I’m not you, Moog? Because yeah, I’m so glad that didn’t happen to me.

44 Kelly April 16, 2009 at 4:19 pm

Awesome. Unbelievably awesome.

45 TinyShrimp April 16, 2009 at 4:23 pm

Tears……..Pouring…………down……….Face…BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Poor kid.

46 Gladys April 16, 2009 at 4:28 pm

I am laughing my butt off. Hey and it isn’t just Ex Lax and Fat kids…It shouldn’t be mixed in brownie mix and given to your chemistry professor either. ;) I’m just sayin…not that I would know anything about that. Honest it wasn’t me…

I believe he deserves the OICMP award!

47 Vittoria April 16, 2009 at 4:43 pm

oh my. oooooh myyyyyyy.

(lilu – how do i get the button to be centered on my page? it won’t do it! and i’d like some cheese with this whine!)

48 lifeintheleftlane April 16, 2009 at 5:04 pm

Oh my god! I just laughed so hard I almost cried. That is probably the best poo story ever!

49 Kellie April 16, 2009 at 5:32 pm

OMG. This is one of the greatest ever. I love Moog but I feel sooooo badly for his wife. :) Hehe.

50 dmb5_libra April 16, 2009 at 5:41 pm

i almost shat myself reading that. hilarious.

51 Stephanie April 16, 2009 at 5:42 pm

Dang…. Your poor little 8 year old self.

52 Jen April 16, 2009 at 5:52 pm

Wow, you lucked out at like….having Ol’ Faithful erupting in your pants, and not be loud, or anyone suspect ya.

http://thewilltofly.blogspot.com/2009/04/tmituesday-edition.html

53 Kendall April 16, 2009 at 6:21 pm

As someone who’s slipped someone laxatives before, is it bad that this sent me into hysterics more than stunned silence.

And you’d be proud Lilu. I finally joined in on the poop parade.

http://theoddduckling.wordpress.com/2009/04/16/tmi-thursday-holy-shit/

54 Narm April 16, 2009 at 6:21 pm

Mooog is one of my favorites – but he outdid himself with the line about shitting like he was trying to put a fire out.

Amazing.

55 amindinmotown April 16, 2009 at 6:34 pm

A few tears erupted I was laughing so much. Nice TMI.

56 Mb April 16, 2009 at 6:44 pm

57 Aritza, Goddess of .. April 16, 2009 at 7:31 pm

Oh wow, you really weren’t kidding around LiLu, Mooog is a genius (of his own genre) !

I can’t decide which part made me crack up the most, it’s all so .. so .. hilarious!

All I wanted to do when I finished reading it was poop :)

58 drollgirl April 16, 2009 at 7:41 pm

gross. i could share a story here, but i don’t think i am quite ready to do so. horrors.

59 Titania April 16, 2009 at 7:52 pm

Sublime. Just Sublime.

60 Muppet Soul April 16, 2009 at 8:09 pm

62 rs27 April 16, 2009 at 8:42 pm

Where’s my guest post? I want to be widely read by the 4 million readers you have.

I’ll talk about vomit.

63 Flora April 16, 2009 at 8:48 pm

OMG – this was freaking hilarious. Wicked’s crowned today for the grossest TMIT and Mooog I crown you today for the funniest TMIT. I’m at work laughing so hard to myself that I’m crying, lmfao!

64 Bon Don April 16, 2009 at 10:08 pm

I love Mooooogie Wooooogie

65 moooooog35 April 16, 2009 at 10:11 pm

Wow.

All these admirers and awesome comments.

Plus Narm.

Narm digs me man-style.

Back at ya, buddy. Back at ya.

Hey…look at that.

Made myself throw up a little.

66 M@ April 16, 2009 at 10:12 pm

I am simply amazed by the man-hours that went into this little production.

67 moooooog35 April 16, 2009 at 10:21 pm

M@:

YOU’RE amazed?

You should see the look on my boss’ face.

68 mylittlebecky April 16, 2009 at 10:23 pm

“squish, squish, squish.”

fabulous

69 Brandy April 16, 2009 at 11:02 pm

Every week I come back for this…uh, shit. I ♥ you.

70 Spellbound April 16, 2009 at 11:39 pm

I have had a whole bottle of red wine since I came home from work and after reading this I am totally sober from laughing. I was a pleasingly plump child and one time found a box of diet candy in the glove compartment of my Dad’s truck. I ate about a dozen of them, and then, a bit worried I might get in trouble, asked my Dad about the candy in the truck. He told me not to eat them or I would “grow eggbeaters in my ears”, I checked the mirror every morning for weeks.

71 Life On Edge. April 16, 2009 at 11:41 pm

I have to admit that it is pure sadism to make Ex lax look like chocolate.
I also think mothers (at least some of them) are some sort of stoical heroes.

72 Sassy Britches April 17, 2009 at 12:08 am

I was already laughing at “Phatty Phat Phat Gangstas Yo.”

73 Ruby April 17, 2009 at 12:15 am

Moog, have you ever heard the song “Good Clothes” by Little Brother? I immediately thought of it reading this – there is actually a verse about being a fat kid shopping in the Husky section at Sears: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3hOEaC0K1k

Plus, it is just hilarious :)

74 Princess Pointful April 17, 2009 at 12:19 am

The squish did it for me. Especially the multiple squishes. Ewwwwww.

75 MsDarkstar April 17, 2009 at 2:24 am

I read this to the POSSLQ… it was hard because I was laughing so hard.

I also made my own TMI post… hopefully the linky bit works!

76 bikramyogachick April 17, 2009 at 5:50 am

Oh yes, your TMI Thursdays are so delightfully naughty. :) =

77 Cyndy April 17, 2009 at 6:39 am

That was an awesome story, Moog. And your mom was so cool about it! I hope nothing got smeared on the inside of the laundry chute. But it doesn’t hardly matter now.

One time when I was babysitting there was a box of candy meal replacement things they used to make called “Ayds” sitting on the counter. They were like caramels, individually wrapped, and they were supposed to make you eat less but they tasted pretty good and I ended up eating an entire layer of the box of them, hoping the mother wouldn’t notice that any were missing. Fortunately there were no ill effects. They did not reduce my appetite either.

78 Dmbosstone April 17, 2009 at 10:40 pm

Oh shit.

No really.

79 ClaireMontgomeryMD April 18, 2009 at 4:59 pm

i love this story. moog and i may be star-crossed lovers.

80 Jan @ Struck by Serendipity April 19, 2009 at 6:52 pm

I just read this to my friend & started crying bcz I was laughing so hard.
