It’s better than his “As I Lay Dying.”
Wow… guy has a lot of directorail credits.
bit of a stench
Yeah, i did hear worse things about that one so didn’t bother (and i have no doubt that book is better!).
I put it to you, Gentle Commenters, that anyone that worried about possible UnManly Violations of their nethers also spends a lot of time in secret, wistful reverie about how enjoyable it might feel…

Pretty much this /\
OTOH, a lower sitting position afforded by the absence of a seat is arguably more conducive to satisfactory results. I for one despise too high toilet seats.

In our Boy Scout troop we had this kid who way too often had a marked air of feces about him; we couldn’t find anyone who would willingly share a camp tent with him. So our Scoutmaster “instructed” the kid’s patrol leader to tent-up with said kid and instruct him in the ways of personal hygiene, supposedly with the intent of having the first instruction provide strong impetus in effectuating the second instruction. Did the plan work? Well…within a couple of days the patrol leader, having found a moldering, stinking deer skull, took to keeping it in his tent… perhaps to mask the other odor?

She married a literal shitty-pant child, if it is true. I have never said this before… but I cant even with this article.
I just had a guy in my apartment elevator tell me he would never use any sort of wheeled cart to bring up groceries because manly reasons. He said this while he was slowly loosing his case of water, and his billion plastic bags. I, a not so manly dude, was happy with my wheeled grocery cart.

People will pull them out if it’s really raining, but usually we just have a spitty drizzle that’s not worth getting an umbrella out for. You just pull up the hood of your North Face jacket and carry on.

This seems appropriate, and I found it in the one thread from the screen shot.

I think he meant the guy who was sitting on the toilet rim and never using the toilet seat (1st story in the post), not the people not cleaning themselves.

It’s how we can tell the tourists apart from the locals. 
That said, when I was in China in a downpour and I was walking around in my waterproof coat with my hood up and literally every single other person had an umbrella, I felt like a total weirdo.

I’m sure not all of the stories are true, but I’m positive there are people who fail to clean themselves properly after using the washroom.
That said, I highly doubt the reason given in Boing Boing’s headline is why. (Maybe in a few cases, but hardly most. Psychologists are aware of many issues people have in these areas and I’ve never seen homophobia as a common one.)
