I'm willing to bet that having a live suffocating rodent up your rear biting and clawing away would indeed generate "an intense sensation". I'm also willing to bet that that sensation would be far from pleasant or erotic, and given the likely cleanliness of the little critter, would probably be a very good way to get possibly lethal damage done to oneself.

CIP: While there are no x-rays to prove Gerbil stuffing that have been released yet - remember that bit about doctor-patient privacy? - there *IS* the confirmed story where the two gay lovers a) shoved a tube up one's ass, b) let the gerbil run in, c) lit a match to see why it had stopped, and d) wound up lighting the methane, which in turn propelled the gerbil at high speed - into the guy holding the match's nose at breaknose speed. No, that story made the run of the internet, but originated as a hoax back in 1993. And frankly in this newsgroup people should have a better idea of the feasibility of 'naturally produced methane in it's local environment' being used to propel gerbils. Sometimes scepticism can go too far. Which is why I rarely read anything Snopes puts out these days... You rarely read it because you don't want to be disabused of your favourite hoaxes? |

Yes, but just because the Yeti and Sasquatch exist, doesn't mean that the Mothman does. In this case there is apparently no evidence whatsoever that anyone shoved a live gerbil up their rectum then headed toward the hospital emergency room...there are hospital records for other odd items though...lots of other odd items...there was once a POW in Vietnam who kept a watch up his kazoo for years just so he could give it to his late friend's son after he was released...they made a movie about this staring Christopher Walken as the POW. ;-) You're not thinking like a True Space Engineer. Have you never heard of duct tape? :-) But is the anus considered a duct? I always thought of it more as an excretory channel- like Fox News. :-P Pat |

Although that being said, I've been able to naturally produce methane that could knock a buzzard off of a manure heap. Strangely, this thread has drifted from impacting subs to impaction of the poop deck. :-\ Pat |

Usually people who shove things up their rectums go to the emergency room only because they can't get the thing back out.

In fact, throttlemen take pride in being able to answer the bell as quickly as possible with barely a flicker of that little yellow light. It's an art, but these artists know the response of the steam valves, the depth they're at, etc. to give it just the right touch. nods We had a throttleman that was designated *by name* to be on the throttle for anything other than routine ops. I once watched him warm the mains blindfolded... As OOD, depending on who the throttleman was, I would order a bell with a call to maneuvering not to cavitate. Then I'd have the helmsman give a 10 deg rudder, which, of course, would lead to cavitation. A quick call to maneuvering for some words of admonishment, especially with a fresh EOOW, made it all the sweeter. Ahhhh...the midwatch. Heh. One patrol almost all the forward supervisory watchstanders had juniors that were qualified the senior watch... And most of the supervisors were qualified most of each others junior watches. So most midwatches we'd have the juniors relieve us, then merrily wander about the boat relieving each other. Once the offgoing OOD on tour found me in Sonar, in MCC, MCRP, and AMR#1... Each time properly relieved and standing a watch I was qualified... He was not pleased. Even less pleased was the OOD who leaned over the starboard side of the stand and noted his (nominal) Torpedo Room watch, Navigation supervisor, Missile Control Supervisor, Launcher supervior, Radio supervior, AMR#1 watch, and Sonar supervisor hanging about fire control alley. (For you non submariners, this is essentially every supervisory watchstander forward of the reactor compartment.) D. -- Touch-twice life. Eat. Drink.
