Poo references don’t bother me, and any topic that affords the opportunity for many puns is fine by me!

Folks, the observations are fervently awaited, regardless of frequency. I’m lucky to get on here once every couple of weeks, so worry not. Very illuminating site for one as ignorant as I.

ExperimentNo6 said: “Y’know, I hear lots of coconut milk inspires regularity. Plus its delicious.”

what?”

from the American Heritage Dictionary:

regular, def. 6b: “Having bowel movements … with normal or healthy frequency. ”

“Regularity” is a euphemism for “being regular” in this sense, i.e., not suffering from constipation.
Bran cereals, prunes, and Metamucil (as well as Serutan, Citrucel, etc.) contain significant amounts of dietary fiber, which acts as a laxative (as does coconut milk).

I’ve really enjoyed the vast majority of what I’ve read here, and have only occasionally been put off by the outrageous, self-righteous snobbery and entitlement expressed by one or two of the posters. This is fun, informative, and FREE folks…give the writers a break! Thanks for keeping us informed, Alan, and keep up the good work!

I love your stuff, Alan, as well as the other writers and can always find something here that makes me say, “Wow, that’s damn interesting!” Thanks for the update.
