Poo.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 1 comments link this postIn my email came a sale notice from Chronicle Books. They usually have odd and fun books and publications. As I scrolled through the email, I saw this book.
Poo Log: A Record Keeper.
Besides the loaded name, and besides the general idea behind the book -- writing about your bowel movements -- what really weirded me out was the reader review, which I've excerpted here:
What a fantastic idea. Many the time when you've wanted to share something weird that happened with/exited from your bowels, but just couldn't. As fascinating as it was to you, you just weren't sure how it'd go over.
What is this person talking about? Are you telling me there are that many people who want to share stories about such things? I have never had the desire to share these kinds of details with anyone, much less devote time and paper to writing about it.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't as fascinating to others as you think, and that means I'm pretty sure I know how it would go over.
The flush on the toilet is there to expedite the job of getting it out of the house. Why write a book about it unless your doctor has given you a medical reason to keep tabs on such things? Does your poo really need its own biography?
Yuck.

I can not believe I missed this post!!!
Ok, you need to write up a user guide for your site. I don't know where to look for everything. I don't have the time, I have other people to stalk, too.
