The Outhouse, in Fifty Five Words

If you've never taken a crap in an outhouse with a view of apple trees and an ultimate frisbee game in progress, you're missing out. A percussion of urine pounds the soft earth below like rainwater falling down a gutter, and your efforts land with a soft thud like an overripe banana.

Its really something.

Tanizaki wrote a book about aesthetics in life including the outhouse, but his describes wafts of pine forest and sunrise in the morning mist. A very poetic poo...

Ok...I was waiting with baited breath. I knew you would have a brilliant last post for August. The fourth, the quad...a brilliant observation of human nature. That it was. I liked the rotten banana sound.
