Vonnegut's Asshole

Vonnegut's Asshole. To be honest, this wasn't originally intended as a tribute to the late, great Kurt Vonnegut. It started as a goofy experiment, just to find out how many authors I could persuade to send me drawings of their own assholes. But then Kurt went and died on us last week. So now it's become something else.

If this thread stays up does that mean the site is anal retentive?

(Via Daphne Gottlieb, whose asshole will apparently be featured on Friday.)

It should be shocking. But somehow, Vonnegut's asshole has a certain innocent charm. Just wanted to take those two lines out of context.

Hmm, it's a good think he died before the VTech massacre. I don't think he would have liked it.

Finally, a thread that shits on itself.

Another line to take out of context: It was as if he thought that owning a sphincter was just an ordinary part of being human.

bukharin's eloquent comment reflects Vonnegut's own contribution. A week on, one must take into account rigor mortis: *

Vonnegut's asshole had a profound effect on me as a kid.

Arsewhole has so much of a better ring to it. Connotatively she has a sweet ass, or a smelly arse.

In lack of something witty, all I have to say: Jesus Christ Fox News. New low, new low. It reminds me of when PETA says something shocking and we all go "oh my god does anyone actually believe that?"

OMG - I have never seen this Fox news before. WTF? Editorial neutrality isn't HIGH on their AGENDA huh.

MetaFilter: ordinary humans who own sphincters

I'm no author, but I could never send anyone a drawing of my own asshole. I put preparation H on it once in the mirror, it's pretty horrible looking. I know most people's assholes are likely not very pretty, but mine is really ugly. It's like the Aegis, a medusa head. Bent over to get the paper in my robe once and the dog wouldn't come out from under the bed for weeks. No way you want that on paper.
