Oh right, so I was right in thinking Portland meant "turtles head.."

[gumboot]

I don't understand!

I don't understand!

'panting for the head' would refer to a technique employed while giving birth. Instead of the mother 'pushing' whilst the babies head comes out she is asked to pant, this action stops her from pushing too hard which might result in tearing.

I often refer to the emergence of the poo as 'crowning' .. "by the time I pulled into the driveway and got the front door open I was already crowning'.

Heard a word of "when I was a child", yesterday.

Rural China, 50ish (or less?) years ago; if you needed to shit you would have to rush home to do it in your own garden, rather than let it go to waste on the side of the road.

In Tibet and Nepal, villages in the mountains have shitting fields where everyone goes.

The Shitting Fields, I thought John Malkovich was great in that one

Sounds hazardously two-dimensional. Do they have problems where people shit themselves into a corner?

This thread is somewhat analagous to the floater you inevitably plant in your friend's house, that just keeps bobbing back up no matter how many times you flush.

[gumboot]

Throw lots of toilet paper on top of it.

[RedOktober]

Shouldn't there be a stick nearby for breaking it down with?

[Purple Grapefruit]

I give my family and friends brown toothbrushes.
I use them to stab the loch ness monster to death.

Extra LOLS for telling people their breath smells of shit.

When younger I overheard part of a conversation in passing once that went something like

"...I had to break it's back just to get it around the bend"

I wondered what on earth they must be trying to shift. An old sofa out their living room and up the hallway perhaps?

Either that or he's stuffing chickens down the toilet.

So out of consideration for somebody in this thread somewhere, in the process of replacing the innards of the guest toilet I've cranked it up to maximum power to save any guests the distress of being unable to flush something. Not too worried about the efficiency because it's not the regularly-used one.

I informed the wife that I'd read about a concern that somebody on the internet had and had made allowances while I was adjusting things, and she said that it was rude to poo in somebody else's home.

So there you go.

Oh, and it's one of those weird American-style ones where it seems like you can't just pour a bucket of water straight in to push things through.

How the fuck do American toilets work, anyway?

Turns out they take buckets of water just fine. There's no weird mechanism holding the water in. The u bend just goes a little higher on the outlet. To ensure that the bowl is emptied before being refilled (for a thorough exchange of water), they use what I assume to be bernoulli effect. A portion of the water from the cistern is shot into the bottom of the bowl in the direction of the exit, and that sucks the rest of the water down to well below the usual water level.

Then when the cistern is refilling there's a second stream directed straight down into the bowl to fill it back up to its usual high level.
