Poopsocking

That was my first thought, too. But this is why I thought it would be helpful to talk it out, because I did some deep thinking on this the other day.

You're right, it would be much easier, more sanitary, and possibly quicker to use a normal toilet - but what about the kids? Kids who don't want their parents to know that they're up at 4am trying to reach level 60? If they live in a situation anything like my own as I grew up, the bedroom and bathroom doors are squeaky, the floors are creaky, and their mom is insane and hears everything that happens. So, to avoid alerting the insane mom, they poopsock it. That's the theory.

There are bucks to be made selling gamers custom Lay-2-B0yz with built in pooping facilities.

Wouldn't insane mom find the shit-filled sock eventually? IMO that's worse than finsing your son's crusty cum-stained socks or something.

I dunno. Any kid who's poopsocking it probably already has a drawer for his socks that are full of cosplay fantasy...remnants.

Maybe switching to an all liquid diet would reduce or eliminate the need to, er..., eliminate. But then you'd risk ending up like the guy on the "jug o' piss" thread.

His old room is full of Da5ani bottles of fermented urine, but man, does he have some phat lootz...

I can't fathom how quickly I would have been murdered by my parents had it ever occurred to me to try something this nasty/idiotic.

I much prefer the term "catassing".

I kind of respect these kids. They are internet pioneers. And some day, when they get to heaven, they will meet up with Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett and the Donner Party and have a lot to talk about.

These kids should be put down in every sense of the phrase.

Do they also wipe with the socks?

THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY!

Just go with the door open, duh.

The bedroom door. The squeaky floor!

Once they (hopefully) outgrow this shit (no pun intended) here's never going to be a good time to disclose this sort of activity; this will be the big secret that they're going to keep from wives and boyfriends. Some real pent-up future shame here.

I think these people are already far beyond shame.

I bet one guy did this. Then other people made it a phrase to mean not leaving your console/computer for a long time-- a feat as easily achieved by, say, eating the food that these types often eat (pizza with extra cheese coes to mind. You won't have enough offal to fill a sock for a week).

The bedroom door. The squeaky floor!

Wait wait wait, CAN they not play on LAPTOPS, which they bring with them while twisting a log off on the toilet proper? (In the "Hackers 2/Kevin Mitnick Story" drinking game, you drink every time a person uses their laptop on the toilet.)

thread should have been a liveblog

sock should have been a Tupperware bowl

ppl on my freshman hall shat in a tupperware bowl and microwaved it in the lobby

(I don't think they were poopsocking though)

Wait wait wait, CAN they not play on LAPTOPS

YA SRSLY. Which makes me wonder how long it'll be before the various MMORPGs are available via iPhone/cell phone (if they're not already).

any MMORPG which is made available for wireless play on an iPhone is going to be redolent with concessions to the casual XX phenotypes, WoW catassers won't stand a chance

I knew a catasser. I had a friend who even lived with the catasser for a time. Oh, the stories. Anyway this is completely indefensible and ruins all the furniture in your house. Bubbles from The Wire has more self-respect.

I wonder what percentage of poopsockers are "out". Let's say we can confirm that there are 100 outed poopsockers. I would guess, conservatively, that maybe 95% of poopsockers are still in the closet. So that would make 2000 poopsockers in total.

Toy with the numbers a little bit, and you've got a poopsocker epidemic.

epidemicPANDEMIC

lol Tom, that was the dude who was caught stealing underwear because he couldn't bear to stop playing WoW long enough to do laundry, yes?

oh indeed it was

also Z S I hate to pop your balloon but you do know Penny Arcade made a similar joke a waaays back?

http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/06/16/

I would play an MMORPG called PANDEMIC

I would not play an MMORPG called POOPSOCKING

Actually a post-apocalyptic POOPSOCK PANDEMIC would be interesting, a world overrun by feral cats and unpaid water bills

It would at least have a built-in explanation as to why the NPCs are always just letting you walk in their front door and smash open all their stuff to look for goodies

I didn't know, Tom. But the more people who are exposed to poopsocking, the better, IMO.

Idiocracy can be viewed as a dystopic poopsocking tale.

I would poopsock if they released an MMORPG called PANDEMIC

at first I was all pronouncing "catassing" as one word with the a-sounds of catan and carcassone

but it's just a contraction of cat assing isn't it?

no it's MORE than that

it's a WAY OF LIFE

Yeah, srsly. There's a certain lack of respect around here.

Anybody else find this term nauseating?

I lived with an ur-cat asser in college who spent most days retreated to his private bedroom with wall covered in media and floor covered in catshit. He played and downloaded hundreds of quake levels. One time, while LANing with him, he had a near total breakdown of the "that's cheating!" variety and we had to take a few hours just to get him to stop screaming and calm down. Poor guy. I wonder where he ended up?

"so not gonna happen vii"

would you believe I had to turn moderate safesearch OFF before I could get a decent GIS for "catassing"?

you know

can some one post some pictures of poopsocking

Laptops on the can = burnt thighs, surely!

I thought catassing was when you took out large-gage earrings and as they shrunk they looked like cat assers. What is it in this context?

Laptops on the can = burnt thighs, surely!

I have repeatedly tested this, it is a MYTH!

http://img.waffleimages.com/4d1d89b1a1d3324ccc2bf24f81753451827c2a76/roofuscopy.jpg

oh well.

Burnt thighs? Hello, this is why one takes the three-weeks old issue of NYT that's always sitting around for toiletroom reading material & places it under the laptop. I believe this technique was employed in 'Hackers 2/The Kevin Mitnick Story.'

I only use my laptop on the can

I am not catassing when I do so

This thread has forced me to reevaluate my lifestyle.

^omg herro

did you guys see the story on how Square Enix is going to adjust the difficulty on FFXIs' epic battles because a bunch of people went on an 18 hour raid against this one boss and still lost?

People were passing out and getting physically ill. We decided to end it before we risked turning into a horrible new story about how video games ruin people's lives.

Fight start time: 3:30pm EST, End time: 9:00am

Fuck you SE.

Excuse my non-smoking naivete, but why would one chain-smoke what seems to be 1/5 to 1/3 of a cigarette at a time?

hi dere welcome to Japan

I owned that couch at one point! Hopefully not that exact couch, but maybe so.

I don't understand your question, Nhex?

I do; most of the cigs in those pictures appear to be smoked only a 2/3 of the way down. Why smoke so many but leave so much tobacco on each cig?

.....

http://science.howstuffworks.com/question650.htm

I still don't get it? Please, humor me. Are you saying that all those are smoked filters? I thought the filter end had a different color on the outside.

the lady smoked all the way down to the filter

what looks like remaining cigarette is actually just filter, which is the same colour (white) as the body of the cigarette; if you look closely you can see the gold band which separates the filter and the cig

filters that big she was probably smoking 100s; which means she's probably smoking 3 times what you and forks thought she was and is probably a very unhealthy person : /

Ohhh, I see. I was misunderstanding your wording, Nhex.

Yeah looks like big ol' 100s.

Man those are some big ass filters then.
And I clearly don't smoke.
And I don't think there was ever a doubt this was an unhealthy person.

the worst is that she was still using the keyboard while it looked like that

Wow... damn.

nggggggh I didn't need to learn about space-docking : /

not googling under any circumstances

Japanese Robot Performs Space Docking

Dirty robot!!

no one actually does that, right

You'd need to give up all fiber, otherwise you'd have a mess on your hands. Although if you're doing it already you're probably not caring much about unintended consequences.

But I thought that telephone companies were trying to deliver fibre to the home?

I wish that show 30 Days (by the guy who did Supersize Me) would do a poopsocking episode.

Because poopsocking may seem like all fun and games at first, but that 3rd week is really fucking tough.

well eventually you do start running out of socks

er, or so I've heard
