Y’all wanna know something?

Daryl sits alone in the house and plays with his fart machine and laughs.

    We gave our friend Amy a fart-machine for her birthday once. She worked for an advertising agency at the time.

    His fart machine.

  3. Michael Smith on November 17th, 2010 at 6:37 pm

    Was the fart machine named Deron? I think I know that couple.

  4. Cindy Scroggins on November 17th, 2010 at 6:39 pm

    It’s a multi-fart fart machine. Deluxe. Fifteen different sound effects, all farts.

    He has favorites, of course.

  5. Sheila Ryan on November 17th, 2010 at 6:42 pm

    Fifteen farts. Dang.

    Uncle Rondo woulda liked that, I bet.

  6. Sheila Ryan on November 17th, 2010 at 6:45 pm

    I think our site is back up.

    “His Fart Machine.” A riff on Philip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials.”

    Or Milton.

    Whichever.

    My brother and I had names for the different sounds of farts. Pronounce this if you can, there was the “Pyrrrrrnt!” (the note rising high toward the end.) Ooo, I’ll have to think. There was also, “The silent, but deadly.”

  9. Rick Neece on November 17th, 2010 at 6:49 pm

    My brother was a genius when it came to farts. I was not far behind him.

  10. Sheila Ryan on November 17th, 2010 at 6:49 pm

    SBD. The acronym.

    Not the acroteria.

    The acronym.

  11. Rick Neece on November 17th, 2010 at 6:51 pm

    Sheila.

  12. Rick Neece on November 17th, 2010 at 6:51 pm

    I adore you.

  13. Sheila Ryan on November 17th, 2010 at 6:52 pm

    My ex-husband could do this rapid-fire belching thing that was just amazing. I begged him to teach me, but he just said, “Well, can’t you swallow air?”

  14. Sheila Ryan on November 17th, 2010 at 6:53 pm

    Lovin’ and snugglin’, belchin’ and fartin’, Ricky Cameron.

  15. Rick Neece on November 17th, 2010 at 7:01 pm

    I love this rapid fire, when it comes on the ‘flock. Danny could tell you a bit ’bout your last comment. I so try not to oppress, unnecessarily, folks I love.

  16. Sheila Ryan on November 17th, 2010 at 7:03 pm

    Don’t oppress me, opossum.

  17. Cindy Scroggins on November 17th, 2010 at 7:10 pm

    I don’t particularly care for the word Fart (unless it’s written as graffiti–that’s funny.) I prefer Poot.

  18. Sheila Ryan on November 17th, 2010 at 7:14 pm

    Me neither.

    (Me, too.)

    By the way, after I left Kansas City this weekend — an hour-and-a-half after pulling out — I stopped in Bethany, Missouri and ate at the Toot Toot Restaurant and Lounge.

  19. Michael Smith on November 17th, 2010 at 8:38 pm

    And the cheese stands alone.

  20. Rick Neece on November 17th, 2010 at 8:44 pm

    Hi-ho-the-dairio…Michael.

    Also, Michael

    Poot. Poot. Poot…ad infinitum. For one who might not care for your vernacular.

    XOR

  23. Phil Bebbington on November 18th, 2010 at 4:19 am

    That would appear to be more farts than there is poo on the Bristol Poo Chart.

  24. Daryl Scroggins on November 18th, 2010 at 8:55 am

    the cat likes it

  25. Sheila Ryan on November 18th, 2010 at 8:59 am

    Daryl, how do you know the cat likes it?

  26. Daryl Scroggins on November 18th, 2010 at 9:08 am

    he jumps

  27. Sheila Ryan on November 18th, 2010 at 9:10 am

    A sure sign.

  28. Dave Vogt on November 18th, 2010 at 1:06 pm

    The dog is fortunately not very prone to gas, but I’ve known some dogs to act embarrassed (for lack of a better word) with their own flatulence. I wonder if that is a product of inadvertent training by their owners’ responses or if it relates to some evolutionary habit of not eating one’s own air biscuits.

  29. Sheila Ryan on November 18th, 2010 at 1:09 pm

    Air biscuits.

  30. Daryl Scroggins on November 18th, 2010 at 1:13 pm

    farting hunters didn’t eat

  31. Sheila Ryan on November 18th, 2010 at 2:15 pm

    Nope. Except for air biscuits.

  32. Rick Neece on November 18th, 2010 at 6:12 pm

    I think I’ve told this before. I rode 14 hours, from Savannah to Northeast Arkansas in the backseat, with a flatulent dachshund named Hans. Hans did not seem embarrassed in any way. The odor was sharp and dog-foody. Tangy. I finally pretended to sleep, burying my face into a pillow crammed in the corner between the seat and the door where some fresh air was seeping in.
