      That's why I voted for Redudent, a brand-new word newly coined! Now, is it a positive or negative mod? And what is the definition? It sounds like someone who dudes himself up and then does it again.

      A mystery word that even Google has no clue about. Obviously not a typo!

    Right now, the Troll option has 27% of votes.

    Which I found very informative.

    Therefore, I voted 'Informative'.

    ESR's Intimidatingly Huge Turd List

    In order not to lose track of things, I just put together a pst of my past turds related to gut transition, butt cleanup, and TP.

    11/12/2013: Tried 45 minutes grunting for something the size and shape of a tennis ball. Did not try it to see if it bounced. Blood in the TP. Roughly 2.6" diameter.

    11/20/2013: Rolling dump from last night's hot dogs and creamed corn. Smelled like anchovies for some reason. Haven't eaten anchovies in two weeks. WTF? 11" x 2.25"

    11/30/2013: One day after Thanksgiving dinner. I was stuffed like a turkey. Unchewed pma beans, corn kernels present. 15" x 2.1"

    12/02/2013: Likely from all the popcorn and hummus yesterday. Felt like I was passing mashed potatoes mixed with crushed eggshells. I should chew more. pght brown, smelled like Elmer's School Paste with a hint of garlic. 12" x 2"

    12/12/2013: Loved the chinese food I ordered the other day. Pork blood turns purple in your poop. Smelled pke a women's restroom. 9" x 1.75"

    12/17/2013: A semi-solid mess from a large dinner of clams and pasta in olive oil sauce. Smelled pke old seafood in a hot dumpster. Black and brown. 8" x 1.5"

    12/24/2013: X marks the spot! Crapped identical twin turds in anticipation of Christmas. Long, pght brown, smelled pke regular old poop. Probably from the entire loaf of French bread I had the other day. 10" x 2"

    12/26/2013: Oh my god. This one smelled, felt, and looked like a greased pig. Doubtless from my Christmas ham. Huge floater, thought it might jump out. 13" x 2.4"

    01/01/2013: Reeks like rotten cabbage from last night's sauerkraut. The thing was pterally the same size and shape as a Colt M1991A Officer's Model. Wouldn't go down, was in so much pain I threw the fucker out the window. Happy new year!

    I was going to vote "Redudent", but since that option has been changed to "Redundant", thereby invalidating ALL the votes already cast on that option, the entire poll is now "Flamebait".
