Sometimes I forget not everyone was born with balls to play with on the throne.

I could only do games or reading while not at my worst. During the harshest flare up times in the bathroom, the agony was too great to do much else other than wish it was over, I tried reading, I couldn't focus enough, so games weren't even an option. And if you had it like me and some others, you spend time on the toilet cleaning up messes so there's not as much to clean up when you're done and you get off the toilet, a head start, if you will.

I read. A lot. There is currently a collection of books on the toilet tank.

One of the bathrooms in my house has cool paint patterns on the walls (formed by crumpling a rag and dipping it into paint and pressing it to the wall). I used to sit there and find pictures in the paint.

I usually read, but sometimes I bring in the laptop. There's nothing like a love letter that was conceived while pinching a loaf. Every once in a while I'll bring one of my trumpets into the bathroom too.

I've always got a collection of books in the bathroom.
Usually books that are fact based, eg facts about football, Silly science books basically anything that you can read a page or 2 and put back down.

The bathroom was always my favourite room in the house. I could sit for ages reading various things.

But since getting bagged, I miss that special "me" time.

I do sometimes go and just sit there when I'm on my own, just for old times sake.

That really made me laugh... a gift for the guy who has everything!
When the Nintendo Game-boy first came out I bought one to play while on the throne, but I found that it required so much concentration I just wasn't getting the job done. Nowadays I have a magazine rack in there.
After more recent adventures in there (yesterday, for example) I forgot about the magazines... I just needed a wooden spoon to bite on!

During flare-ups, I keep a book of crossword puzzles and games along with a pen nearby.

I think I play throne games every time I go. More like gambling.

Willl I make it?
Will I even get to sit down before I make a splash?
Did I get some on my undies?
Will I see lunch?
How many times will I have to wipe?
Will I clog the toilet?
Will I need Calmoseptine?
Which child is gonna walk in and say "OOOooo - STINKY!"?
Will the phone ring?
Am I done yet?
Did I just wipe and I'm going more?
Do I need more Calmoseptine?
Do I need a shower now?
Should I wash with bar soap, anti-bac, or both?
Have I washed those towels lately?

I don't have time for throne games.

Wow!! This thread hasn't gone anywhere near how I expected it to go. I was flipping through the catalog and saw the game for the throne, chuckled, said 'how silly is that!' and then thought I had to share it with my fellow Crohnies for a laugh. Now everybody is discussing whether they have time for games or reading or not and on and on. <shrug>

Did I get some on my undies?Like always
Will I see lunch?Perhaps
How many times will I have to wipe?25+, before sitting down again
Will I clog the toilet?Maybe
Will I need Calmoseptine???
Which child is gonna walk in and say "OOOooo - STINKY!"???
Will the phone ring?As usual
Am I done yet?HA! You wish
Did I just wipe and I'm going more?Sucks, doesn't it?
Do I need more Calmoseptine???
Do I need a shower now?Absolutely
Should I wash with bar soap, anti-bac, or both?Both
Have I washed those towels lately???

I don't have time for throne games.
Same here, I think it depends on what type of Crohns you have as for these. I asked all those questions for over a year straight until about April of this year, except the Calmo, child and towel questions.

Now I bring a magazine in, I can actually think while I'm there, and thus process information once again like a normal person. It's almost peaceful.

Actually, I was just being a smart-ass, though those questions do apply at times. I really don't have time for throne games cuz I am in and out in a short time. I don't know how people sit there for 45 minutes getting an ass ring. I do my business and get out. Ha - I can make it inbetween classes at school with a 5 minute passing period!

I'm getting a head start on school this year so I'm reading Village of Cannibals for history. Before that I would come on here and play tetris or I would play world of solitaire.

bingo. same for me, i could never concentrate on anything. bracing myself for THE MOMENT at just the right time was all my mind could handle, the inbetween time i spent lying down on my own lap resting, like bent in half.
i did on occasion bring a pillow in though! put the pillow on your knees and then you have somethin cushy to rest your head on in between the eruptions.
ahh and the head start. cleaning and crapping at the same time, good way to learn multitasking

when there was a kitty in with me (their food bowls are in the bathroom. HAH sucks for them huh?!) i might play with them. they like it when you chuck bits of kitty kibble at them, they chase it around. oh and sometimes i would arrange the different kibble shapes in the different tiles on the floor, we have really small tiles. make patterns and what not.
holy crap how weird am i.....

O.K. Here is a game that I have patented specifically for the potentially humiliating moment when you have just had the colonoscopy and are placed in a room with other victims of the old butt probe! As you will see it is easily adaptable to many situations (such as bathroom time) all you need is gas. ( and a very warped sense of humor)

THE FART NAME GAME

1. Listen carefully to the sound of each fart.

2. if you are male match the sound to a male name. if female match the sound to a female name.

******If you feel that you are much too sophisticated for this type of humor think back for a moment. Do you remember how humiliated you felt after your first colonoscopy? Humiliated, self-conscious, deflowered, and physically uncomfortable.

After the procedure you are wheeled into the room with other victims and asked to "just relax and pass gas, everybody here is doing it. "

After my first scope i was wheeled into the fart room with the rest of the victims of the mighty schpincter scope. I felt embarassed just being in the room. I was placed in a spot next to a rather large middle aged woman who smiled and nodded to me as I entered. The nurse pulled the privacy curtain and walked away. Right at this moment, the woman next to me ripped off a rather pungent and boisterous EEE LIZ A BETH!

A few short seconds after I heard the woman start to giggle to herself. She soon added a Joe Annnnnna and a Betty and continued to giggle to herself.

Feeling a bit less self conscious and always a bit competitive I began to fire back with names from the cast of SESAME STREET!

Yep Yep, thats right this wonderful and budget friendly game can be adapted to include a favorite tv show, book, or anything involving a list of characters.

Feeling confident despite facing such a formidable opponent, I volleyed back a flurry of names: Berrrrrrrrt! Big Birrrrrrd! and finally SNUFFFFF ELL UPPPA GASSSS!



*****If you are offended by this post and feel offended by this Lowbrow brand of humor, please refrain from angrily responding to this post until you have tried the game just once.

Thats right, I am asking you to try it just one time in the privacy of your own bathroom. If you are in the bathroom and can't seem to focus on the book you are reading, try farting the name of one of the main characters!

I am willing to bet that just one mention of BaaaaaaaaaaB ( BOB in fartspeak) and you will be giggling.

Ok, have to go for now. I have an urgent meeting with MR BROWN in the upstairs office. lol

Yeah, I always gotta watch playing that game. Mine tend to sound like Daffy Duck or Sylvester the cat saying it, immediately followed by a trip to the bathroom and a change of underwear. In the past twenty couple years I've learned the masterful ability of clenching and filtering. Usually works, but makes the stench twice as potent.

IT'S THE BOG OF ETERNAL STENCH!
