Fart-astic! -

"Three weeks." One blogger, known as Iconomy, stated. "That's the definite answer. Exactly three weeks. But only if the sex is good. If the sex is lousy you have to wait six weeks."

The "Sex and the UniverCity" column of the Daily Campus shouts out AskMe, and our girl iconomy, in their column "Having a Gas".→[More:]

(if you have a problem viewing the title article, use metachat/7L9QG9. The Daily Campus evidently wants you to register before you can view any of their campusy stuff, despite the fact that they didn't have to register at askme to do their farting homework.)

Yay, iconomy!

"Girls can burp, but farting is unacceptable," said Sean Moshier, a 7th-semester real estate and urban economics major.

Boo, this guy.

How funny - my one completely smart-ass AskMe answer*! It was an AskMe question to the effect of "how long do you have to know a girl before you can fart in front of her".

*Because everyone knows it's really two weeks.

I think I recall a happy resolution to the quandry, but does anyone know if the askme poster is still with his girl?

LOL! um, I waited over 4 years before I started farting in front of the mrs. she farted from day 1.

I have a strict "ladies first" policy.

I won't even fart in front of myself. The cat does it on a regular basis though. NO respect.

Yeah, well if you figure out how to do that I'm sure we'd all appreciate pictures.

You could fart in front of yourself if you were her. Not safe for work.

Iconomy, it is so good to see your expertise in flatulence finally gain recognition. Kudos, my friend. I have just launched an SBD in your honor.

I AM FARTACUS!

Farts are hilarious, no matter who perpetrates, as long as there is a safe exit.

I never thought I'd be able to fart in front of a romantic interest until I was in a rock band with three of the fartingest guys to walk the earth. It was unbelievable. And my guitarist used to steal my mic and fart on it, thus defiling something I was touching with my mouth and amplifying his asshole all at the same time.

Awesome.

« Use the thread, little one, the thread resonates through all the internets. It binds us and makes us one.

I remember that thread. Fart talk is always fun.

Someone writes like they're still writing for their high school paper:

...even though they're quite possibly the most "mess-free" of all.

But whatever the cause may be, it has become quite the taboo to do in the presence of someone to impress.

Otherwise, though...cool.

Until someone puts an eye out.

Then we get to put on eye-patches and talk like pirates, and it becomes even more fun.

posted by jonmc 06 December | 14:41

I used to date a guy who had one eye and farted a lot! What are the odds.

posted by Specklet 06 December | 14:43

Don't you mean he f-aaaarrrr-ted?

posted by jrossi4r 06 December | 14:49

Yarrr, that is what I meant.

Ha, iconomy, how bizarre! That must have been a fun google search for the intrepid college columnist.
