Is it REALLY a sin to fart?

Jospeh Pujol, 'Le Petomane', did exactly that. He used to break wind, musically, on stage. Wowed audiences across France in the 19th Century.

I suppose I could call him 'becky lookass'. but I can't think it would be worth.

2) Farting is fun. I'm British, so when I'm in a toilet and either:

- I fart when doing number 2 and know someone is in the toilet in another cubicle or using a urinal

- I am in another cubicle or using a urinal and someone farts

I start giggling. I am not proud of this, nor of my inability to hear the words gusset without smiling, not fnaring when I hear the word helmet.

3) Other people farts are awful, whereas one's one are more liveable with. Though I've had to leave the room at some of mine.

will it still be amusing?

so... supposedly the more you toot, the better you feel?

i have come to the conclusion that this is patently false.

So why was she banned and who was TIM in the end?

with initials such as 'R.J.G'....How can you possibly call *ME* a moron?!?!?!?!?!

^lolol. why did this approach never catch on?

KV - she got banned for total OTT horribleness.

She was banned for making threads like these. TIM, I believe, is still at large and I hope and pray that he always will be.

TIM AT KFC.EDU is a treasure

He is indeed.

I've never had a problem with Tim. I was just wondering if he was a regular. Becky, on the other hand, just seems to be horrific.

God it never occurred to me she'd be australian haha.

She's partly why I ended up here actually! ESOJ was going on about her ruining the board so I had to see what the fuss was.

She is a legend!

This can't be her surely? She's Australian...

I was about to go "I'd hit it", and then I read this:

There is a big world out there that needs our help. Places such as CAMBODIA, AFRICA, RAWANDA and countries alike are in desperate need of our attention

The joy of T✧✧@K✧✧.E✧✧ is that he only appears once in a blue moon to impart his wisdom.

FUK NU ILX!!!!

Tim's grebt! Farts not so much. I really hate it when people fart, can't stand it. I don't mind burps, actually I think it's quite funny when people burp.

Oh yeah, we used to have a customer who would fart constantly (and pretend nothing happened). It was really awkward when he wasin the shop.

ok gigantic LOLZ at Christian pop singer = our Bex

AFRICA, RAWANDA

haha

Coast to coast, LA to Chicago

nathalie he may have had an intestinal disorder or something that's not so easy to control

i know i know, i didn't hate him for farting, made an exception, but damn it was hard to pretend nothing was going on, y'know.

I heard that it would make James Joyce think of sex.

I want to see Tim's poem about Fred dobble dribbling and losing the game again.

At every fuck I gave you your shameless tongue came bursting out through your lips and if a gave you a bigger stronger fuck than usual, fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to fuck a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora's fart anywhere.

Apparently!

Apologies for reviving a thread by B3cky L thread but I didn't want to start a new thread, but this title seemed to suit the story better.

Flatulence ban for club pensioner

A social club in Devon has banned a 77-year-old man from breaking wind while indoors.http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44279000/jpg/_44279321_pensioner203.jpg

Maurice Fox received a letter from Kirkham Street Sports and Social Club in Paignton asking him to consider his actions, which "disgusted" members.

Mr Fox, a club regular for 20 years, said: "I am happy to oblige them, there is no problem. I do get a bit windy - I am an old fart now."

He said he had to leave the club about three times a night.

In its letter to the retired bus driver, the club said: "After several complaints regarding your continual breaking of wind (farting) while in the club, would you please consider that your actions are considered disgusting to fellow members and visitors.

"You sit close to the front door, so would you please go outside when required. So please take heed of this request."

I am a loud farter, but there is no smell
-Maurice Fox

Mr Fox, who lives in nearby Princess Street, said the letter was a surprise because he had been given no verbal warning.

"I think someone has complained about the noise. I am a loud farter, but there is no smell.

"I do not think it [the letter] is unreasonable, you get ladies in there."

Mr Fox also spends two days a week at the nearby Palace Place club, but said he had no complaints about flatulence there.

The club said there was no one available for comment.

And who will make the funniest photoshop?

Why not just go and fart in the bog?

Someone might complain about the echo

Damn I was going to post this, you got there just before me Herman!
Old guy in the photo looks like he's about to let rip.
"there is no smell", yeah right...

I bet the photographers were upwind of him during that shoot.

If it's a sin to fart, I'm going to be stuck in the confession booth for the next 17 years

Re-reading this whole thread.... wow.

Nah, You got the frosties right after sucking off your dads cock and letting the cum dribble off your lips and into your cornflakes which your mother makes with her dried shite.

^becky's "debating" technique in full effect. Amazingly enough this is not even the worst thing she ever posted.

-- Pashmina,

The mind boggles.

No one has photoshopped "farts" instead of "darts" yet on that pic. I'm disappointed in ILE.
Where is Ken c?

It's the "Two Skittle Alleys" you should be concentrating on! Or the "Regular Entertainment" as in "keeps you regular"

All are forgiven in the eyes of the lordb.

Thou Shall Not Fart?

Malawi row over whether new law bans farting

Two of Malawi's most senior judicial officials are arguing over whether a new bill includes a provision that outlaws breaking wind in public.

Justice Minister George Chaponda says the new bill would criminalise flatulence to promote "public decency".

"Just go to the toilet when you feel like farting," he told local radio.

However, he was directly contradicted by Solicitor General Anthony Kamanga, who says the reference to "fouling the air" means pollution.

"How any reasonable or sensible person can construe the provision to criminalising farting in public is beyond me," he said, adding that the prohibition contained in the new law has been in place since 1929.

The Local Courts Bill, to be introduced next week reads: "Any person who vitiates the atmosphere in any place so as to make it noxious to the public to the health of persons in general dwelling or carrying on business in the neighbourhood or passing along a public way shall be guilty of a misdemeanour."

Mr Chaponda, a trained lawyer, insists that this includes farting.

"Would you be happy to see people farting anyhow?" he asked on the popular "Straight Talk" programme on Malawi's Capital Radio.

He said that local chiefs would deal with any offenders.

When asked whether it could be enforced, he said it would be similar to laws banning urinating in public.

The justice minister said local chiefs would deal with those caught breaking wind in public

and believe it or not that was a bbc article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12363852

To answer the original question, why is a fart so hideous/disgusting?

Because the smell you perceive is the result of small particles entering your olfactory system. Those particles come directly from the anus of the emitter.

There you go. That's why.

Because the smell you perceive is the result of small particles entering your olfactory system.

I believe the science term for those is actually 'farticles'.

JUST GO TO THE TOILET

I just hope that no-one in Malawi does a silent but violent one next do a group of people who have stopped in the street to chat then walks away quickly leaving them to get arrested.

very on topic...i was thrown out of CCD in 8th grade for farting loudly during confession. So i guess it is a sin.

Corinthians sez:

" 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

I am certain the odd fart is excusable and our dear Lord may even find it part of what is charming and dear about the human race, but if you have excessive flatulence from unhealthy eating, or fail to excuse yourself after the first fart, it may very well be a sin.

i almost always giggle to myself when i fart

my friend farted whilst i was eating my dinner last night, i pretty much railroaded him on it.

old flatmate used to fart really loudly all the time, it got really annoying really quickly.
his girlfriend was around once and they were eating next to each other on the couch and he farted really loudly while slightly angled at her and said nothing. I said "the poor girl's eating man, give it a rest", she looked uncomfortable, but not as uncomfortable as him. had to say something though, dirty sod!

This was a couple of weeks after i told him to shut the bathroom door while pissing as i could here him while eating in the other room!

some people ay!

ive been letting some real beanie ones go today. my office is like a fartbox, the heat is on full blast and i have the door closed. Pretty sure i might pass out from the smell of my own farts.

that's called "Getting high on your own supply"

lol @ godwin

Does anyone actually fart for a living? Is it like singing for your supper?

Jospeh Pujol, 'Le Petomane', did exactly that. He used to break wind, musically, on stage. Wowed audiences across France in the 19th Century.

There's a 60s or 70s film starring Leonard Rossiter of Rising Damp / Reggie Perrin fame playing him. May have it on vhs somewhere.
