YES! I can finally use my poo calendar!

Hey, I can finally use the poo calendar that Viv bought me for my birthday! (and here's a bonus link: Dr. Stool - maybe Steph should tell Terrence about this, haha!) I might keep this one for a long time, like Jeremy and Ray did with the Far Side calendar they have. Thank goodness I have a poop icon already, but I don't know 365 songs about the subject. Oh well... can't win 'em all! ;)

For fun, here's the Wikipedia entry. Hey, I didn't know Poo was the name of a playable character in the Earthbound! game... sweet!

This is the intro blurb and first "nugget" (haha!) of the year:

WHAT'S YOUR POO TELLING YOU?

With universal appeal - after all, everyone poops - this straightforward, illustrated description of two dozen dookies (each with a medical explanation written by a doctor) details what one can learn about health and well-being by studying what's in the bowl. A floater? It's probably due to a build-up of gas. Now think back on last night's dinner - a burrito, perhaps? All the greatest hits are here: The Log Jam, The Glass Shard, The Hanging Chad... the list goes on. Sidebars with interesting factoids, 60 euphemisms for number 2, and unusual case histories all make this the ultimate bathroom reader.

POO LOG

Finally, what every bathroom has been waiting for - the POO LOG, a journal for recording and studying the uniqueness of each bowel movement. With handy reference charts, extensive checklists (shape / color / consistency...), interesting nuggets, and hilarious illustrations throughout, this journal makes every trip to the can into an e-loo-cidating experience.

INTRODUCTION

Another day, another poo... in our hectic daily lives, we sometimes forget to stop and smell the roses. Unless something is considerably wrong, you will spend a significant amount of time on the toilet in 2009 - the average person will poo between 100 and 1000 times. However, many of us will hastily perform the deed, flush without looking, and then fail to harness poo's power to improve our health. This daily calendar will serve to remind you - every day of the year - that going to the bathroom can be an educational and potentially cathartic experience.

We have scoured medical journals, global news headlines, and expert testimonials to present to you the following Daily Droppings. Use them to improve your own poo performances, and flaunt your Poo IQ by sharing these vital nuggets with friends and colleagues.
