Windypops

A black dot, George lagging behind old farter
No rain but sunshine today...the first in an absolute age. I made a huge pan of sprout soup for my lunch ( don't try it at home folks) then spent the day making the most of the fine weather and cleaned out coops for my sins.
Before dusk, I took the dogs for a walk on the old railway line between Dyserth and Prestatyn
Where the sprouts reeked their revenge
I counted 21 farts in a one mile stretch
Is that a record?
I need to get a life

    1. More like one of those old lady farts ...the ones that synchronise with each step

    2. My Gran used to do that, then she'd stomp her foot repeatedly like she had something stuck to the bottom of her shoe. Cracked us grandkids up!

  3. 21, hm? I'm not sure if I should congratulate you or not. Oh, what the heck - well done!!

  4. I could tell that was a Scottie walking down the road.
    Good thing you walked down a quiet road.

  5. I love your blog it gets classier and classier. As my granny used to say, "church or chapel, let it rattle."

  6. How is it that I can write a blog of the utmost importance, one where I have taken the time to do my research, nail my quotes, correct all my spelling and in the end get only two comments, when you can rattle off a few lines about the tracking of your gas patterns...and get many more? Life is so cruel, so unfair, so very smelly.

  8. I am shaking with Giggles. If I was a boy of 6 I would scream with laughter. And pretend I could smell it from here holding my nose.

    Arent we Brits obsessed with toilet talk. I laugh at the word guff. I find it hilarious.

    There is a lot to be said for a solitary walk in fresh air, John.

    Have you ever noticed, correct me if I am wrong, that cats don't pass wind? How come?

    2. bitchontheblog, cats do indeed fart, I have never heard one, but my kitten pops one off in my face quite regularly! Phewey oooo!

      Delete
    3. My cats DEFINATELY pass wind, and delight in hopping up onto my lap and silently releasing a felix "flavoured" fart....perhaps other cats are more gentile?

      Delete
    4. And the emissions from some cats could be used as paint stripper. And certainly make my eyes water.

      Thank you, John, and everyone. What an education. They do say that the sense of smell is the last one to go.

  12. Well, as my gran used to say, "There's more room on the outside than the inside!" LOL

  13. Well, that sounds like a healthy lot of exercise, both inside and out.

  14. Well, that's done the ozone layer a whole lot of good!

  15. That is what you get for eating sprout soup. It does not even sound appetizing. Or am I wrong?

    ReplyDelete
  16. With all due respect, John, sprout soup sounds disgusting! None for me, thanks!

  17. H.I. once counted mine over a twelve hour period, but she lost track/interest after about the 30th. I have to admit to rising to the challenge.

  18. You are to fart at least 21 times a day or more as a sign of good health; thought an Old Fart would know these things? xx

  19. Sprout soup??? I will not comment further.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Impressive fartrogen production Mr Gray. However, your culinary repertoire needs work.

    ReplyDelete
  21. What is sprout soup? If it's unidentifiable, no wonder you fizzled and popped your way down the road. I've never counted my farts, but I doubt if I can beat 21 during one walk. You've brightened the day, John, and made it stinkier.

    Love,
    Janie

  22. Oh please not Brussels sprouts.... eeeeyuw! Worse than farts!

  35. Someone should invent a fartometer. I am sure they would be big sellers and make millions.

  41. So it wasn't a cloud of radioactive gas drifting over Prestatyn ......

  42. Sprout soup could be the answer to reducing our energy bills but how can we bottle all that gas? Maybe a connecting rubber pipe?

  43. Is sprout soup on the weightwatcher menu?

  46. reminds me of a rhyme i said as a kid:

    baked beans, good for your heart
    baked beans, make you fart
    the more you fart, the better your heart
    baked beans, good for your heart
