October 24, 2002 : What's that smell?


Stolen from the Obscurestore:

Things overheard at the STD clinic

The quotes below are complaints reported by clients of Room 111, a public health clinic in St. Paul that treats people for sexually transmitted diseases. Nurses at the clinic began creating the list two decades ago; it now includes several hundred comments.

"I have reason to believe my penis was exposed to LSD. When I ejaculate I have flashbacks."

"My hair is falling out and the sun hurts my crotch."

"I went to a party, had a few beers, woke up in a closet later on and my face stunk and my dick hurt."

"My last period looked like meat."

"My balls feel soft and mushy."

"I be messin' with these nasty women from Minnesota and they don't tell you they got something unless they mad at you."

"How am I supposed to do lap dances smelling like a dead fish?"

"I got the dripper."

"I have food chunks in my urine."

"Had sex with my daughter's fiancé and then douched with Lysol--feelin' a little raw down there."

"Scabs on my butt and I'm losing my mind."

"I'm releasing semen when I take a crap."

"I was poked in the rectum with the infected finger of a 70-year-old homosexual man."

"I live at the VA and my roommate has his girlfriend from Minneapolis over. They throw ticks at me that bite my neck and when I pop the sores, they smell like vagina juice."

"Can't you put the swab in further?"

"I had sex with my baby's momma, sex with my other baby's momma and my other new baby's momma has disease."

"Last time I had sex I passed something that looked like Cream of Wheat before it's cooked."

"My cervix hurts when I jiggle."

"The seam in my circumcision split open."

"I be messin' with my ex-wife and my girlfriend and I don't trust either of them."

"My whole body smells like a menstruating woman, especially my armpits."

"From the looks of my penis, I believe they are sucking the adrenaline out of me."

"I think they hypnotized me and put implants and poltergeists in my brain and had sex with me."

"I think my boyfriend knows what's going on. He's been calling me a 'chlamydiahoris.'"

"My pee smells like ham."

People have said these things about that :

Christ. Yet more proof that there is *way* too much piss in the gene pool.

Posted by: romakimmy on October 24, 2002 10:48 AM

And "ham scented" piss at that!

Posted by: ColdChef on October 24, 2002 10:50 AM

Would ham scented piss be considered non-kosher?

Posted by: romakimmy on October 24, 2002 10:51 AM

Hey, not just ham scented -- apparently for some people actual chunks of ham! That would definitely not be kosher.

Posted by: pardon me on October 24, 2002 11:03 AM

*falls right over laughing*

I believe the seam in my circumcision may have split open. Especially my armpits.

Posted by: brittney on October 24, 2002 11:07 AM

I will never eat Cream of Wheat again.

Or ham.

Posted by: ColdChef on October 24, 2002 11:38 AM

I've heard one these when I was 15. A girl friend, notice friend, had some wild girlfriends. They start talking about their clinic experiences, this one I will never forget:
"I have food chunks in my urine." yet she added they were green chunks.

She also thought nothing of it, LA woman for sure?!?!

"I'm releasing semen when I take a crap."

Releasing semen from where, exactly? Because this could be a perfectly normal occurance.

By the way, I'd like to apologize for this thread and what it may do to your lunch breaks.

"My last period looked like meat."

I have absolutely no idea what this could possibly mean. Does she mean the color or the texture or something that I'm missing completely?

Wait. I don't want to know, do I?

It almost sounds like the finger was no longer attached to the 70-year old homosexual man.

Or is that gross?

Posted by: kafkaesque, esq. on October 24, 2002 12:54 PM

Not really, kaf. Gross would be telling ColdChef what "My last period looked like meat" means.

A co-worker once told me of the time he worked in the ER, and a lady admitted herself due to a foul odor in her nether region. This was due, later they learned, to the halved potato she'd fashioned into a makeshift diaphram.

Funniest part is when my friend told this story he said, queenily, "Girl! Don't you know her snoopy was sproutin'!"

Posted by: brittney on October 24, 2002 02:01 PM

snoopy!

Posted by: jpoulos on October 24, 2002 02:07 PM

So she stuck a potato up her ying-yang and then forgot it was there?

and as for the meat question... two words ...
organ meat.

Re: The snoopy story

The potato thing is actually very common. Older "ladies" in New Orleans do that all the time to ward off menopause (no, it doesn't work.)

A friend, who worked at the Charity Hospital in New Orleans got firsthand experience with this when an older lady came in complaining that, "There's something wrong with my pocketbook." It had also taken root.

True story.

Posted by: ColdChef on October 24, 2002 02:19 PM

Like I said, this guy is way gay, so you can see how the misnomer came to be.

Although, of course, I adopted it as my own. So long as I don't use it in the heat of the moment, "snoopy" is a real crowd pleaser.

Posted by: brittney on October 24, 2002 02:21 PM

I like "Weezie" or "Woo" or "Wooular region."

Posted by: ColdChef on October 24, 2002 02:22 PM

A college buddy of mine referred to it as "the gulley" which led to the yet more colorful term "yodeling in the gulley"

I'm not so sure about that potato story.

The only story I can add is being in my college infirmary and overhearing a conversation taking place in the next room between the nurse and my archnemesis--she'd gotten an infection because her boyfriend (cover your eyes, bunnyfire) "dirty dicked" her. Oh, I never laughed so hard. I was getting my throat swabbed for strep. I darn near swallowed that thing.

And I never used my knowledge against her, even after she announced to a whole room full of people that I had a third nipple.

Oho! Wait! I just remembered another anecdote, related to me by my mother. She told me once how she'd gotten crabs in 1964 because she'd taken a Berlitz course in a bad neighborhood. Right.

What was she trying to teach me? Never sit on a public toilet. (And also, the poor are wretched, scabrous creatures.)

Posted by: cowboy_sally on October 24, 2002 03:07 PM

I have heard it called a "snoopy." I was an intern on a documentary about a woman who had survived a nazi child labor camp. She had become a formidable sculptress by the time I met her while working on the documentary.

Anyhow, the producer wanted some "artsy" shots of a young woman to use as flashback material, so we hired a local artists model to come in and do some semi-nude poses for us.

The shoot was not going well, the photos looked too "canned" and the model was a little uptight. The producer muttered something about getting her to loosen up. Quick as you please, Vivienne, (the subject of the documentary) barges onto the set to cajole her quiet young doppelganger into trying a few new things for the camera.

In her ripe Austrian accent, Vivienne says, "mehbe yooo could show us your schnoopy, eh?"

We all laughed hysterically, except for Vivienne, who didn't understand why the request was so funny. Anyway, it helped everybody loosen up a little bit, although the model never did show us her "schnoopy."

My dentist gave me shit about having a tongue ring too, and I took it out that day.

I liked having it, but it has much potential to cause tumors from the constant irritation of the mucous membranes, which can not form callouses...only tumors.

Treating tongue tumors always involves surgically removing part of the tongue.

Even if he is full of shit, I am more likely to believe him than a piercer.

Posted by: adampsyche on October 24, 2002 03:11 PM

Because I keep passing out, you dolts.

Why "snoopy"? Although quite adorable, I don't see the connection.

Does it have something to do with the fact he lays on top of his house? Or is it because he's friends with WOODstock?

Posted by: Unclefes on October 24, 2002 03:11 PM

Think about it. Who doesn't like Snoopy?

Posted by: brittney on October 24, 2002 03:14 PM

Sure, tongue piercings look cute, and they bring to mind all sorts of randy things you can do with them, but in the end I had to take mine out when I got married because kissing was all "clackety-clackety-clack" on my front teeth. That may have been the death-blow to any coolness I had left taking that thing out.

On an unrelated note, my favorite quote from above is the utterly sincere, unironic delivery of: "I been messing with my ex-wife and my girlfriend and I don't trust either of them." It's funny because it's true.

Posted by: readymade on October 24, 2002 03:22 PM

Man, you people know some naaaasty genital stories.

I just remember back in highschool, there was this chick named Candy, who had the biggest goddam hair I have seen to this day, who was rumored to have ummm, put some tunafish down there and lured the cat in to play. No word on wheteher it true or not, but I do know she later became a stripper.

Me and my hessian high school buddies would titter knowingly at all these stories as if we were men of the world. Never mind that I wouldn't see anyones genitalia other than my own until my freshman year of college when the artsy chick picked up me and a buddy and shanghai'd us down to this abandoned storefront/art space on Rivington Street(NYC) where the toilet sat in plain view in the middle of the room. Fulla beer as we all were everyone got the proverbial eyeful.

I am truly a freak magnet.

Posted by: brittney on October 24, 2002 04:54 PM

I'm told I'm like the Monorail ... long, slow, and smooth.

Yeah! Woohoo! High Five! *smack*

Posted by: pardon me on October 24, 2002 04:54 PM

Nice freudian typo there, Brittney!

Posted by: tizzie on October 24, 2002 04:56 PM

... Men in Back ...

Was that intentional? Either way, veerry interresstink.

Posted by: pardon me on October 24, 2002 04:56 PM

(great sick minds think alike, tiz)

Posted by: pardon me on October 24, 2002 04:57 PM

'Twas intentional. You can be anyone you want on the internet, even a girl who likes butt sex.

Posted by: brittney on October 24, 2002 04:59 PM

That comment probably would not be a good first line for a 'personals' ad, witchy.

One would think, but it's actually worked quite well for me. Of course, my roguish Ukranian charm might have something to do with it.

Do you also stop every few minutes and let more people climb on? Because if so...wow.

Posted by: ColdChef on October 24, 2002 05:00 PM

I'm more like the Merry-Go-Round. Y'know with dizziness and horses and all..

Posted by: jonmc on October 24, 2002 05:02 PM

I'm more like the Back To the Future ride at Universal. Lots of rocking, almost painful, but when it comes down to it, it's all just a bunch of fancy lights and mind tricks.

Posted by: Ufez Jones on October 24, 2002 05:04 PM

Miguel's like the bumper cars.

And I think we all know why.

I'm like a state fair (choose your own punchline):

The rides are unsafe
There's a petting zoo
The churros are stale
Jam judging is at 6 sharp
70s & 80s hair bands provide the soundtrack
Inexplicably, there's always a chiropractor booth

I don't know too much about your newfangled Disneyland ways, but Coney Island used to have an entertainment called The Funhouse where you'd get tortured by a midget with a cattle prod. Roll up, folks!

And they have butter sculptures.

Posted by: Ufez Jones on October 24, 2002 05:35 PM

And don't forget, you have to wait half an hour for a ride that only lasts a minute and a half.

Not to mention the neck restraints.

Posted by: kafkaesque, esq. on October 24, 2002 05:38 PM

Actually, there is a ride that I'll claim: The Wild Mouse. Note the quote: Make sure you really like the person that you ride with because you're going to be bumping into them quite alot.

Posted by: tizzie on October 24, 2002 05:38 PM

I remember when I was a wee bairn, going down the Helter Skelter at Brighton Pier. I skinned my elbow in a grievous way on the rail, and it was a bloodbath by the time I reached the bottom.

That about sums it up.

I believe I'll claim that weird-ass cyclotron ride.

First, you get spun around at a high rate of speed, and after a while you're pinned to the wall. Then, you'll feel the floor drop from underneath you.

Afterwards, you'll have a funny feeling in your stomach, and you won't be able to have a corndog.

I just go for the bungee jump at the country fair. A perilous drop for a hundred feet and over too soon.

And as for the butter sculpture, who doesn't want to grab buttery udders?

Not me, dammit. Threads like this are when being able to read but not comment really sucks. If I could jump in and say something, I could leave it; but just watching it you get hooked and keep hitting "refresh". Over. and. over. again.

Posted by: yhbc on October 24, 2002 06:41 PM

Anathema, that's just spooky. In one of the umpteen tapes I logged for that documentary, Vivienne reffered to an angry period after her divorce when she was churning out a lot of bad art.

Cut to scene: me, sitting alone in the booth, typing up all the dialogue as the tape plays ...
V: "... eye kept drawing all zeese wimmen weese teese in zehconds ..."
me: "huh?" *rewind* *play*
V: "... eye kept drawing all zeese wimmen wees tees in zeh coonts ... "
me: *types I kept drawing all these women with ...* *rewind* *play*
V: "..all zeese wimmen wees teese in zehr cunts ... "

Posted by: Maury on October 24, 2002 08:51 PM

Was there a fight over which flavor of Skoal is best?

Nope. One of the carnies has assumed room temperature. He was trying to retrieve a dropped cell phone from under one of those rides that swing back and forth,(I guess he didn't want to wait till it stopped) and unfortunately his timing was off.

I guess I should be more respectful of what happened but I suspect some coldhearted individual will nominate him for a Darwin award.

Moral of the story-leave your cell phone at home if you are gonna ride the rides. Or at least don't expect the hired help to go after it for you.

Posted by: b****fire on October 24, 2002 10:14 PM

Oh lord, bunny. That's either horribly sad in a funny kind of way or horribly funny in a sad kind of way, but either way it's horrible.

I have to say, though, I love "assumed room temperature". That's how I want to be described when I go, it's just not going to involve either cell phones or carnival rides.

Posted by: yhbc on October 24, 2002 10:35 PM

Bunny, sounds like he "slipped" and fell under the ride, at least from what the news has to say. No Darwin, but still very sad.

Posted by: yhbc on October 24, 2002 11:03 PM

I gotta say, B*****, that was one hell of a good way to put it. Cheers to you.

And many cheers to you, jonmc. I love the feeling of walking out of a shit job (well, any job for that matter) for the last time. Make sure to go back next week and rub it in your ex-co-workers faces, eh? w00t!

Posted by: yhbc on October 25, 2002 08:11 AM

Actually I stole "assumed room temperature" from Rush Limbaugh. Must give credit where credit is due.
And yes, the guy did trip. I guess I just thought it was not the best idea to try to retrieve the phone while the ride was in action. Poor guy.
