Nature's (roll) call

Monkey shit.
Cow shit.
Dog shit.
Cat shit.
Lizard shit.
Rat shit.
Buffalo shit.
But no goat shit. This is fish country. Though now that Id is approaching you see the odd goat or kid being fattened on wild greens. But always on a tight leash.
And one can buy a sack of some of the above to fertilise the garden for 10 or 15 rupees. Chickenshit.
(No point being delicate about it all when you're deep in it).

Please remember that cow shit (dung) is the mother of all shits and cannot be even loosely associated with all the other shits.We literally worship this shit and it an integral part of rural life

And what about my Amsterdam t-shirt that says "Holy Shit - Jesus Was A Hippy"!

I smoke that holy shit - and its the best.

Paradise is made from it.

New product idea- make the cow eat the right grass and then smoke the shit- must apply for patent

Sauvik Chakraverti said...

i would rather smoke the right kind of grass, feed the cow ordinary grass - and sell the shit to guys like jayaram to smoke!

point tis: there is grass and there is GRASS. just as there is shit and there is SHIT.

think abt it.

sorry jayaram... i didn't mean to offend you... you arranged for that great rocking party in poona... i just get very freaked out on the fact that smokers of holy shit get bullshit to smoke because of "democratic lawmakers"... what kinda shit is that?

anyway, varuna is a wordsmith and the word shit does have a certain different use from the ones she listed

btw: if there was a cow that shat smokable stuff that got you nicely high i am sure i would worship it

think abt that!!

hi sauvik- i did have a rocking time too- on the subject of animals getting high elephants sometimes eat a whole lot of bamboo shoots,then drink a lot of water which ferments it into booz and create mayhem-
