Asparagus Pee is almost as awesome as Grape induced Farts

March 23, 2008
I’ve got a bunch of asparagus that I bought almost a week ago and I don’t know what to do with them.

Potentially the source of a near future sleepless night

I absolutely loathe throwing away food (almost to a ridiculously neurotic / troubling level — thanks mom!) so I know that I’ve only got another day or two before this really starts to occupy the better part of my mind. The fact that I’m writing this entry kinda shows that it’s already getting there.

I could do a blanching sort of thing and dip them in a sauce.

Option #1

Or I could stir fry them with some olive oil and garlic.

Option #2

But that’s neither here nor there. I want to write about something more important than my lunch.

Is it weird that deep down inside I probably bought the asparagus because I really just wanted to smell my own post asparagus digested pee?

I gotta admit, it’s sort of like when I eat a bunch of seedless grapes and find myself farting like a human WMD (It’s cool. My ex-girlfriend totally loved it). But the trick is that it doesn’t really stink like you would think. It’s more about sound effects than a nasal offense.

There’s just something primal and uplifting about being able to produce something like that from your own body. And really, if we weren’t meant to produce these gems from our bodies God would not have allowed it. And God is perfect.

Anyway, I think I’ll stick with the blanching. It sounds healthier.

In the meantime, enjoy this clip.

And this one too.
