The one I remember being the most satisfying came after a day where I corn holed with Guster, coincidentally.
Against my better judgment, I ended up drinking all of the bourbon in Cincinnati and spent the night near death and completely nude on the hotel bathroom floor. I woke up wishing I had died the night before.
The greasy spoon Guster sent me to in the ghetto didn't help matters. Usually a starchy and fatty breakfast does wonders, but not this time. I sat in the booth, barely upright, with my head against the wall and just prayed for it all to stop.
Then came the drive to Indiana. Lying across the back seat, going around curves and up and down hills (I live in the swamp lands of Southeast Texas so any elevation change over 10' makes my ears pop).
And my farts. Oh. My. Gawd.
If something ate an armadillo that had been cooking a few days on the side of I-10 and then Rosie O'Donnell came along shoved that that thing up her sweaty cooch and then she died and was eaten by a leprous skunk and then the skunk had crawled up my ### and then died my farts literally could not have smelled any worse. That poor rental car. Oh yeah, my poor brother and wife, too.
Finally we come to the greatest attraction in all of Western Ohio, Jungle Jims.
And I have to poop.
Now.
For those that don't know, Jungle Jims is about an eighty-nine acre shopping complex/grocery store/nursery/amusement park/alligator farm. And evidently it has one bathroom. And it's hidden in the way back, back, back area of the store and camouflaged to look like an ordinary porta-potty. But, but the grace of Allah, I somehow found it without a map and compass and, more importantly, without ####ting myself.
Sidebar.
To the management and staff of Jungle Jims: please accept my most sincere apology for the vile, unspeakable act perpetrated upon you and your facility that day. I am not proud of the devastation I wreaked upon you and you did not deserve my wrath.
However, when I finally emerged some thirty-five minutes later, it was if I was reborn. A phoenix, rising from the poo. I was alive, I tell you. Alive.
Best. Poop. Ever.
