Ha ha, back by popular demand. It is funny that this great but innocuous thread is the one that came back to life from the all the "censorship" debate. I understand that moderators are human just like the rest of us, but when the subject is farts, is deletion really the right answer? And as I said in one of the "censorship" threads, the answer to chilly's question is yes, how do you think I jet power the canoe?!

I've been working this one up for a while and decided it's time to let fly.
The grandmother of the bride was seated at the table of honor. From time to time she inexplicably leaned sideways against her nephew, who had brought her to the event. Each time, fearing for her safety, he gently straightened her up, whereupon she smiled sweetly and continued slowly eating her meal. And each time he asked her if she was OK and if she needed her oxygen. Each time she thanked him and said no, she was just fine.
After the reception the nephew took grandma back home. He asked her how she liked the wedding and the meal and all, and if she was feeling all right. She said, "Oh, it was all so wonderful - they're such a happy couple - except every time I had to fart I couldn't because you pushed me back up!"

How come when I have gas Gunsmoke says I'm disgusting,

Don't know if I fart more or less, just know that if I don't fart I will "EXPLODE". With that said when at WingNight I apologize in advance cause it's better to bare the shame then bare the pain. Another tip is never have the fire between you and me for safety sake.

Many of the meals I've seen people describe have a lot of fat in them. That could be a big reason.

I'm not so sure about that (not the last part - I grew up with sisters).
I mean, a lot of freeze-dried meals are heavy on beans, and some are pretty high-fat. My "output" is almost nil, which I attribute to avoiding both beans and fats.

Lets put on the scientists sunglasses for a second and break it down. You got:
1. Liquid: the water/ water tablets/ water filter/ propel/ kool aid/ booze ext...
2. Food: ?
3. Elevation changes
4. Fresh air percentage increase
5. Set of mind: don't think about work= farts
6. Mandatory stress relief from paddling and portaging all day
7. The perfect storm! Fart forces colliding.
What's the culprit?

nojobro

Someone mentioned on some other thread that he's a bit of a "stool camel" when in the BW. I think this accounts for a higher output of gas as it's in there longer working....
I, myself, have not noticed a difference. But I doubt I've paid much attention, either.
|
|
Jeriatric
|
I don't believe I produce more gas when I'm camping, probably less. I sometimes suspect that I am actually eating food that my system agrees with more than when I am at home or at restaurants. Restaurants cause the most gas in my case, the worst place to have it.
|
|
BWPaddler
|
quote nojobro: "I, myself, have not noticed a difference. But I doubt I've paid much attention, either."
You'd have to ask my trip mates I guess. I only know that I require certain paddling partners to keep their sleeping bags zipped and cinched at night... AND to sleep near the rear door with window down.
|

Far less, unfortunately. I'm always at a disadvantage with my trip mates. Defenseless.

|
Jeriatric
|
It just dawned on me that, for me, gas is more plentiful on group trips. That's probably because someone else usually cooks and provides food to which my system is unaccustomed. Basically it's the same reason that restaurant cooking often affects me.

I would like too but I am afraid that all of that farting might provoke a new regulation from Washington or perhaps a new tax. Must be related to global warming and a bean tax can't be far off. Until I can master solar farting I will have to suffer in silence.

I'm not really sure but it reminds me of a promise I made to my uncle and dad.
We take a yearly trip, and for some reason each year they forget that the year before they had the same discussion: Basically my dad uses the comode more often in the BW and my uncle uses it less often.
My promise to them was that if I heard that conversation one more time I would be using it in both of their eulogies (it wasn't a threat that I would kill them, just use the story when the time arose).
So far it will not be included, however I am sure they will forget and bring it up on future trips.
