  1. Turds for Nerds by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I just got done taking the most wonderful turd. It came out as one solid log that took about 30 full seconds to push out. I pushed very deliberately so as not to break the log. I could feel there was no more turd in my rectum, and stood up off the toilet -- excited to see what this thing looked like.

    I was deeply disappointed when I found that most of the log went into the hole at the bottom of the bowl and out of my view. I thought about fishing it out so that I could take measurements, but I am at work.

    There is a silver-lining to this story, though. This was one of those rare turds that left no residue on my anus or anus hairs at all. I wiped once. Nothing on the toilet paper. I wiped twice to be sure; and again, no residue. I was done wiping my ass, and did not have to wipe for 5 minutes and use half the roll of toilet paper in the process.
