I had a business partner who went to Tasmania for his honeymoon. There he got food poisoning from some fish, and had such bad dysentery for the whole two weeks that he had to resort to using Vaseline on his ass, he'd rubbed it so raw... poor bugger, not much romance there.

Also, when my Dad's family was in this POW camp in Papua in WWII, his older sister (my aunt) told me about this little girl who had such bad and constant dysentery that her bowel started to come out of her, and her mother had to push it back in, using leaves to try and stay sanitary. That always stuck with me as a terrible thing.

Most of the food in Burma was rather lacking I though. Of course, I was already sick from China so its hard to tell if the Burmese food made me any worse.

Also, I vote that Borderland doesn't get to tell anymore stories.

I was told by an Aussie nurse that it's not uncommon for older folks to have the end part of their bowel fall out. They just had to be taught how to push it back up, because really, what can else you do? Ick....

But anyway, this thread was supposed to be about FOOD..... YUM! Smile

Photochick amd BL,

It reminds me of a story I read in Playboy (see somebody reads the articles) about a guy who had his bowels sucked out by a pool vacum while he was underwater wanking off. The image of is it so disturbing. Thanks for reminding me, Borderland. I think this is the worst way in which you've ever derailed a thread. Smile

The little girl in my story suffered because she ate prison camp food..
You managed to drag in Playboy magazine and self-gratification. I bow to the new champeen of derailment.

And just to help us all get back on track, I went to a place in China, ordered a supreme pizza, and got a lukewarm pizza base covered in diced capsicum and corn. No cheese.

I had a tasty charcoal barbecued, marinated skewered-meat on baguette sandwich from a street-cart in Phnom Penh the other night.

With predictable results.



Thank god for Immodium.

Borderland,

Pizza in China is another chronic dodgy food item. Well, maybe "dodgy" isn't the right word. Just bad.

Following the Chinese tradition, they will probably claim to have invented pizza in the 13th century. They just forgot how to do it over the years. Much like flushing toilets.

Just another example of miscommunication.
The waiter probably thought you wanted a doggy pizza.

Joe: "doggy" pizza -- hahaha! You've just put me off my lunch Razz

But I'm salivating at the thought of salty liquorice. Mmmmh! Many of us who have grown up in Northern Europe are addicted to this stuff and because I need to refresh my dwindling supplies, I may have to fly to Amsterdam for my up-coming tobacco run (I finance short hops around Europe with the savings made on cheap ciggies and tobacco) rather than Prague which I so wanted to visit...it is THAT bad!

Just an aside, I've a cousin who was visiting the southern US who made quite a fool of himself. While dining on a riverboat he was asked if he wanted any "dog" meat. He replied, "dog meat! I don't want any dogmeat." The waiter just laughed and tried again.

"No sir, white meat or daaarrrkk meat."
