I have experienced the same problem myself but at the time, some of my turds resembled one of Mike Tyson's arms.

Geez, I would give anything to be able to produce one of those because I am almost permanently constipated, despite taking just about all of the tablets/pills/potions that supposedly will produce a well formed turd, but don't.

No psyllium husk, Senna, Dulcolax tablets, fibre this, fibre that, help and the only relief I can get is by using a tip from another poster on here, who recommended Magnesium Citrate, which when taken in the right dose won't produce anything like that which is being discussed here, but certainly does initiate a "clear out" and some.

I thought I'd share this with other posters!

Who he??

BOB was/is someone who posts on here quite regularly with different handles or names. He is always interesting, but is a sort of troll.

You can get more info from some of the longer-standing members

I would suggest tht probably it was before your time.

Concrete ring tanks are fairly common, particularly in countryside areas I believe.

Is your post to be taken literally or metaphorically?

You are really taking about Trump, aren't you?

No toilet big enough to flush that turd.

I thought this post was going to be about trump

The turd that wouldn’t leave… At first I read the title and thought you were talking about one of the members that everyone loves so much.

I thought maybe it was a new divorce client!

Thanks for all the ideas and the laughs about this. Even though it is a funny topic, it is still an annoyance. It means I have to clean the toilet more often than I would like, along with dealing with extra flushes and waiting around for the tank to refill so I can flush again when things are failing to go down.

I do not think it is a water volume problem or a drainage issue. It seems more related to the toilet's flushing design. As the water drains, it creates an empty hole in the center of the whirlpool. If anything moves into that center area, it just spins there instead of going down with the water. The size does not seem to matter either, since it happens with both large and small pieces, but normally with bigger pieces. I understand that it is normal for a toilet to occasionally not clear everything on the first flush, but with mine it happens almost daily.

In the end, I think the bum gun that was suggested by @ColeBOzbourne, @kingstonkid, and others is a good solution. Today I sprayed the center for a couple of seconds while the water was going down, and nothing shifted into that dead zone in the middle. Everything stayed within the main water flow and went down, with nothing left behind. I will keep doing this for a week to see if it works consistently. I just need to remember to lift the seat and start spraying the center a bit when I flush, and hopefully that will take care of it. I am hoping it is a simple fix. I suspect it ultimately comes down to a toilet design flaw by American Standard.

Kohler.... Never a problem !

Let me tell you something about my turds, tremendous turds, by the way. The best turds. People come up to me all the time, they say, “Sir, your turds are incredible, nobody’s ever seen anything like them.” And I say, “Thank you, I know.” Because they are. They’re huge. Massive. Like, you look at other people’s turds, sad! Tiny little things, weak, low-energy. Mine? Perfect. Beautiful. Golden, almost. People are saying I produce the most magnificent bowel movements in the history of this country. Maybe the world. Possibly the universe. That's what the best people say.

And the smell? Folks, the aroma, strong. Very strong. Powerful. You walk into the bathroom after I’ve been in there, it’s like walking into a morgue, but better. People are stunned. They can’t believe it. “How does he do it?” they ask. Simple. Tremendous genetics. Great genes. My father had fantastic turds, nobody talks about that, but it’s true. Very classy turds. And I inherited them, big league.

The consistency? Flawless. Not too hard, not too soft, perfect. Just the right amount of heft. You could practically frame it. I’ve had people, very smart people, the best doctors, say, “Sir, this is the most impressive specimen we’ve ever analyzed.” And I said, “I could’ve told you that.” Because I know. I know more about turds than anybody. More than the so-called experts. They don’t know anything.

And the volume, unbelievable. Record-breaking. We’re talking 747 airplane sized production. Other guys, they go in there, two little rabbit pellets, pathetic. Me? Landslide. Tidal wave. It’s like Niagara Falls, but brown and majestic. People are saying it’s a miracle. A beautiful, beautiful miracle.

The best part? No wiping needed. Almost none. One little pass, barely anything. Clean as a whistle. That’s winning. That’s efficiency. That’s what happens when you eat the best food, steak, well-done of course, with ketchup, people laugh, but it’s true, and you have the best digestive system. Top of the line. Custom made. Nobody digests like me.

So yeah, my turds? Fantastic. The greatest. People are saying they should be in a museum. Thank you, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America, and its unbelievable, yuge, perfect turds. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Oh my god, you had me on the floor, laughing. Thank you!

Ha ha. That was my immediate thought as well. Thought he might have taken the hint after his reputation had hit minus numbers.

What is actually a bit ironic is that he hasn't logged in since Sunday. I don't think I've ever seen him not log in for a few days. I wonder if his account is fully locked now or if he willingly dropped off. Or maybe he'll login tomorrow. Anything is possible I guess.

Get a bucket that holds a few gallons of water. When you know you might be in trouble fill it before the event. Then you have an extra way for fast flush. No need to wait for the tank to refill again.

Bombs away.

I live on a high floor in a condo.

It is a design failure by the condomenium where the vent for is either not there or plugget. It should be a filter somewhere that can be changed if its the problem

He may already be among us under a new name. Won't be too difficult to spot.....

Could have been a few days silence as he is making his way back to Thailand.

Either way, he won't be able to stay away. I'm sure all will become clear soon.

Yes, my understanding is that when he has been fully blocked in the past, he has returned almost immediately with a new username. So far, I have not seen anyone trolling in his usual style, though I am not online that much or watching that closely. As you mentioned, if he does return under a different name, he will probably be easy to recognize.

I agree that he is unlikely to stay away for long. He seems to rely on the forum for his human interaction. The only other possibility is that he is dealing with a health issue that is keeping him offline. If that is the case, we may never know what actually happened to him.

It stopped logging on Sunday at 1709 and reinvented itself as khaosokman at 1742!

Still posting in the same style with the exact same insults and bogus claims. Clocked 174 posts already and a rep of only 46, which is par for the course for it!

Thank you for the info, but how greatly disappointing it is to hear that. The last three or four days have felt much better on the forum for a change, without all the constant anger, nastiness, and trolling he relentlessly brings to the party. I do wonder what triggered the new account, whether his other account was finally permanently shuttered by the mods or whether he decided to walk away from it after his reputation score turned gravely negative. Either way, it is a disappointing development. And it seems this time he is keen to emphasize in his new username that he is male rather than female, but in my view he/she will always remain confused about his/her gender.

This remind me of when I was taking psyllium (Plantago ovata) daily as an anti-constipation supplement. It makes your turds into floaters.
