Poopy news

Every once in awhile, I meet someone with whom I enjoy conversation until they say something like, “Oh! You’re a Sagittarius! The planets and stars are aligning like [insert coincidental celestial event here], and that means that [insert random jumble of words here].”
Today, that alignment of mysterious bodies and events occurred in my residence, and it all revolves around poo. I usually am well-stocked with regard to the necessary items a comfortable session requires, but today, I am out of:
- toilet paper
- tissues
- paper towels
- water
Yes, water is off for the entire building, for the whole day.
This has probably been the lowest post in the history of echeng.com. But I’m sure it will get a lot of search hits because it has the word “poo” in it.
I’m leaving the house now.

Hopefully you discovered your situation before a ’situation’. Clearly both journalworthy and commentworthy–reflecting equally on our respective productivity :)
but where did you go? 8) i hate public loos.
I’m sorry you are so unprepared to poo at home. That must be very frustrating, not to mention uncomfortable. I was ill-prepared for life in general a few weeks ago after getting home from a quintet trip. No groceries, at the tail end of the last roll of toilet paper, no treats for pissy, demanding cat, etc. It was no big deal because I was going to go to the store as soon as I woke up in the morning and all would be right in my world again. Of course, this was not meant to be. Before 8a.m. I heard a loud vehicle outside my window, which is odd seeing as I live in the woods and there is no road anywhere near my window. I got up, looked out the window and they were laying cement down for a new sidewalk in front of my door. Apparently the notice informing me all this blew off the front door while I was gone so I was trapped indoors for 6hrs, waiting for them to finish and set up these walking plank things. I was a very angry person that day. Hopefully the planets and stars will align in your favor tomorrow. :)
Hopefully the local coffee house didn’t have a sign saying “Restrooms for customers only.” ;)
Well…lack of water makes the lack of soft paper products totally moot. Even if you were to go out to buy water to flush your toilet, you’d be outside to buy paper anyway.
Next time, you can always come up to the BKY to take a crap at my place. But only if you bring matches.

nadir, indeed. :)
Well, I just googled “poo echeng” and uh, I currently come in third …
cyn — i ended up going to Livia’s place to work and to hang out with her and baby Jack. They have a fully-stocked backroom… and water!
Chester — thanks. I hope to take you up on your offer someday.
Oh yeah. So what really sucked was that the water was supposed to be off from 9-5, but they turned it off sometime before 8:30. So when I woke up, I walked into the bathroom and pumped one pump’s worth of soap into my hand, only to discover that I couldn’t wash it off. AWESOME.
eggroll, perhaps the better synonym would be “bottom”.
haha!
eric, i’m glad you have good friends. they have a baby, so they must be well stocked on paper products. wipes, even! ;*)
