"...Put coffee on the lav door,aa does this..."
Airphone,
Yes, but would you drink the coffee on AA after seeing this?

oh nevermind

Some folks burn candles in the lav at home but I can't see how you're really destroying the gas responsible for the smell that way. It's not the methane, that is odorless, but some of the other compounds in the offending wind.

But, while on the topic of "explosion" be warned, if you light your farts with a match (and it does make quite a show) it's best to be wearing your undies when you do! And I'll leave it at that...

Seems that flying and first dates share many similarities.

And, as always, you win. ^^

I laughed so hard I almost fell out of my chair and my sides hurt. Wow. I'm speechless.

It is quite possibly the finest tale of flatulence I have ever beheld. Truly remarkable.

PUCCI GALORE gets my vote for Post Of The Year! ^^^

No, that's easily post of the decade.

Okay, I think we all agree Alma Jean is the queen of flatulence.
In an attempt to lower the boards standards another notch, I was just forwarded a thread on a British mountain biker's message board from a couple of years ago.... I'll post a few highlights:

Picolax - anyone had it? What to expect? (Toilet content)

On Thurs some Docs are looking at my insides from the wrong end if you know what I mean...
I've got to take two laxative potions; one at 0800 and one at 2000 tomorrow, but I've got an offer to go riding on Dartmoor. Will I s***t my brains out in the morning and then be fine for the day, or do I need to stay within sprinting distance of a loo?

DO NOT GO!!!!!!!!!!!
Picolax is the pimp daddy of laxatives and you better be sitting ON the toilet when you take them. Have plenty of moiturised bog roll standing by.

Picolax turned my bum from it's usual semi-dormant state:
a bit like Vesuvius; an impresssive and majestic sight with occasional noxious wiffs, regular minor expulsions of dangerous matter and a very rare display of awesome ferocity worthy of international news into: a portal from another collapsing largely aqeous universe via which all compressed matter emerged at trans light speeds, expanding exponentially as it emerges from the "wormhole". If you think the widespread deluges of precipitation experienced this "summer" in any way approach "Biblical Proportions", then rest assured by 09:00 tomorrow you will have ample personal evidence to entirely revise your delusion.
I will add three pieces of advice, two very useful, the other certainly very serious.
1] Wear tracksuit bottoms or other baggy style garment with elasticated waist, this might give you an outside chance.
PLEASE READ THE NEXT ITEM VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE TAKING "AGENT" PICOLAX
2] CHECK THE TIME & DATE OF APPOINTMENT ON THE HOSPITAL LETTER,
REPEAT
2] CHECK THE TIME & DATE OF APPOINTMENT ON THE HOSPITAL LETTER
3] Have a TRUSTED friend verify your reading of the details in ITEM 2
WCA, If you are looking for an INTERESTING thread tomorrow then I'll try to explain from personal experience why ITEM 2 above is so vital.
To those about to take Picolax, we salute you . . . (TBC) . . .

So, let me know if I should continue to post the experience of Blu-tone with his date with "Agent Picolax" It is a bit long-winded. (pun intended)

errr um IAH - BOS today. I had the cheeseburger in F. 45 minutes later... well look at the title of this thread. I suggest a meal change and a chelsea reasearch program in foods NOT to serve on a flight.

At popular request, please be seated.
I'd had some disturbing "signs" during daily "evacuation procedures". In the past I'd also had Farmer Giles & Family surgically evicted from my arrrse, so wasn't about to wait years to have any future "squatters" invade me via the back door.
Doctor took a look and with only "Breathe out" for warning, proceeded to instantly put an expression on my face more commonly associated with riders of "The Big One" at Alton towers. And believe me I FELT like I was riding a VERY BIG one. the only word I could manage was "HOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFF !!!"
Weeks later I got letter from hospital plus two sachets of "Agent" Picolax.
In true blokey fashion I then "Man Read" the letter (ie opened it scanned it and took out the "Free Gifts") re: appointment and pre-op procedure
(WARNING: mistake alert).
WARNING: F*CKING BIG MISTAKE ALERT).
Right so on "Monday the 10th I was to have an "Investigative Procedure".
And so from 36 hours prior I would be RESTRICTED TO CLEAR FLUIDS ONLY.
So no real food from 8pm Saturday night. Slap up meal Saturday teatime, then orange juice or tea without milk, or "Clear soup" (sod that), a couple of lagers can't do any harm (Erm, wrong d*ckhead but sadly that's not yer main problem, sadly no)
Sunday evening I've been on clear fluids only for a whole day. Family sit down to roast beef, yorkshire pud, gravy roasties, peas carrots followed by trifle. Never mind I'll tuck into a glass of orange juice. (TW*TTT !!)
Whilst they sit back in post scoff bliss I prepare for my first meeting with "Agent" Picolax. (cue Music from Jaws)
Read instruction on "Free Gift Number 1".
I tear the strip off the sachet
[PAUSE]
Remember in those stories how insignificant it seems when the cork is removed from the bottle found on the shore, and an affable Genie trapped for a thousand years pops out ?
Well hold that thought
[RSTART]
And a few minutes later . . . .
"Agent" Picolax has entered the building (orally).
Not too unpleasant, tasted a bit "lemony", to be fair if most energy drinks tasted like this they'd be more popluar.
As these foolish thoughts are noodling around in my head a butterfly in the Amazon flaps it's wings. . . . .
A storm of geological cataclysmic ferocity fuelled by an apopleptic "Agent" Picolax is gathering pace, mass and will reveal itself too late upon the unwary. Oh Yes.
Seeing as I like the odd beer I'm pretty used to the occasional "rumbly in my tumbly", so surely nothing to worry about there then ?
tick follows tick follows tock . . . . .

Is this thread just a lot of hot air?

I had a rather robust gentleman sit next to me on an MD-80 (the 2 seat side), who gobbled down 2 BigMac's, fries, and 2 apple pies before takeoff. An hour or so later the gasses began to fly. He looked me and apologized and blamed it on whats called CPAP therapy, where you apparently suck down air at nightime from a machine to help you breathe. I snagged his McDonalds bag from the seat pocket and said: I dont know anything about CPAP, but I do know the effects of BigMacs, Fries and Pies and thats what you have.

Yeah, well, it could be worse. I was on an LGW-IAH flight a few years back. I also happened to be sick as a dog, getting up & going to the bathroom as much as I could. Sure enough, sometime during the flight, the smell of something really bad began to filter through my row and lingered through the rest of the flight. Of course I was blamed. At the end of the flight, it turned out that the miscreant was a 5 year old boy in the row behind me who "forgot" to tell his dad he needed to go potty. Yup, right in the seat.

Gas is temporary. Poop is not.
