It&#8217;s ok for people in Gitmo to have the soles of their feet pointing at right angles to the space time continuum, but homey don&#8217;t play that. Besides, there would never be a time during which I&#8217;d be able to commit these crimes against posture and not either a: spray shit on someone, or fart badly enough to make them wish I had. <\/p>\n<p>If there were a philosophy to which I would attribute my emissions, the solid and liquid and gaseous, it would be Tao. <\/p>\n<p>For, like Tao, Poo is undifferentiated. It has no definite shape or size, or form, or smell, except that which our recta impart to it, and even that is but temporary. <\/p>\n<p>Like Tao, poo returns. As long as you eat, you will poo. <\/p>\n<p>Like Tao, Poo is subtle and quiet- but the strongest will shy away from it. <\/p>\n<p>Like Tao, poo is dispassionate, and nursing. It cares not who leaves it, and the nutrition it carries causes everything to grow. <\/p>\n<p>Like Tao, poo is not transcendant but is deeply metaphysical. Everything, so to speak, is poo, and poo is everything. <\/p>\n<p>So I leave you with the famous painting of the Three Sniffers<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Vinegar_Tasters\">:<\/a>  Three men come to a <a href=\"https:\/\/neanderpundit.com\/?p=2647\">latrine<\/a>, and smell the fumes emanating therefrom. The first, Confucious, twisted his face in a gruesome display of disgust, and said &#8220;I cannot imagine but this unfortunate soul has been poisoned by processed foods, he must return to a simple diet of rice and fish head soup to regain his digestive health&#8221; The second man, Buddha, smelled and also twisted his face in pain. &#8220;This man will suffer greatly, as I suffer, but he will transcend this life to be where there is no poo&#8221; The third, lau Tse, inhaled deeply and smiled, thinking &#8220;how lovely will be my banana tree!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colanderboy, writing here, discusses the vagaries of contemplating his nutsack.
