BOWEL DOCUMENTS A.D. 2012 ZINE PRE-ORDER!!

[tisbor]

In February 2012 I started a shit diary. Every time I took a dump, I wrote down a description of the experience, the texture, the color, the smell of my shit. I picked Twitter as media of choice, because its format seemed very appropriate at the time. For about a year I collected my impressions as dutifully as possible, and now I'm presenting this "annual report": a collection of all the entries in my diary from 2012.
I plan to keep on writing this diary for all my life, and publish the results on paper at the end of each year.
The first physical installment of Bowel Documents is a black and white, 24 pages, A5 format sine with text, pictures and illustration. It's limited to 93 handnumbered and signed copies, each coming with an original ink drawing of an asshole. On request this can be a self-portrait, a portrait of the customer, or the asshole of some celebrity the customer fancies. The sky is the limit.
I'm taking pre-orders on this to fund the printing. Prices will be slightly increased when the zine is officially released.
Price list:
45 NOK postpaid to Norway
50 NOK postpaid to Europe
60 NOK postpaid to World

I recommend more photos on the Facebook page.

This is what we use at work -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_stool_scale
- but I've found it not entirely accurate. Types four, five and six tend to become confused. Also, when there's an outbreak of gastro, a lot of inexperienced staff tend to think anything mushier than five is diarrhoea.

Apparently nursing staff in England have a curry parlance - describing bowel movements as a type of curry. Others could help out with telling us more.

I've smelt such faecal smells in my time that I wish I could translate into Noise. Surely the time has come for such technology?

I was expecting something like pictures of shit on shit (stuff). Like, you should take shits in wild 'n crazy spots around town and take pictures. I'd be into that. But this is still a cool idea.

[tisbor]

Thanks for the suggestions, I will take them in consideration for the future.
The Bristol scale makes stuff (ha!) too sterile, I prefer to describe my crap as freely as possible.
Anyway this is something I will do for the rest of my life, plus I'll start diaries about other bodily functions as well.

Nice, should've gone for brown and white printing though!

I love the fact that whilst your wife takes a lot of pride in making and preparing food professionally, you're only really concerned about what it will look and smell like when it becomes shit... good working relationship!

Life is a circle, love is a temple.

Why did you leave out taste? Seems like that would really important for such a project.

Write me up on a pre-order.

In future reviews of this publication I presume I will read that Tisbor has now placed taking a shit as the fifth dish in the menu course. Props for that! Looking forward to the read.

Last Bowel Document entry on Monday seemed like quite the archeological excavation. How did you cope with the smell?

"Extra long, solid, spicy #turds. Dark brown and fragmented. A couple of them were bent like hooks. Extremely smelly".

[tisbor]

Ah, I'm just used to my array of smells so it's no problem
