Hilarious!

Now that the story has leaked out, I hope you don't take too much **** for it.

cheapeau to your guts for posting it and taking some laughs ;-)

at least you didn't have an issue otherwise! i remember going from only slight heartburn to a complete blackout/knockout/puke within 30min from what appeared to be food poisoning during a trip to southeast asia a few years ago. in the air, this could have turned out deadly easily...

so, i'd take dirty pants but with full consciousness any day...

Too funny! Bets are on for someone else's reminiscence to show up.

I think you may be flying SOLO for awhile Darren. I'd be rather reluctant to ride in your plane now, regardless how many buckets of water & shop towels.
...LOL...what is your pet name for your plane??? Are you going to re-name her??
Glad you safely survived to report this, uh, "incident".

If I were Darren, I'd sooner worry that *he* would get the new name'

What's your callsign Darren ?

This is somewhat reminiscent of an incident that occured to a friend while flying a T-33 on a cross country flight, back in the early 80's. The T-33 has no autopilot, zero lateral stability and a really horrible aileron boost system which makes it very delicate to fly at high altitude.

He was solo, IFR, probably at 37,000 ft, when he developed a powerful need to do a #2. He fought it off for as long as he could, but eventually concluded that he had to do something or he was going to soil the seat, and the maintenance folks would be very, very unhappy. He had brought a box lunch along for the long flight, and decided that the box might be useful in his time of need.

He's a tall guy, who barefully fit in the T-33, with his helmet almost touching the canopy when he was seated. It would have been quite the sight to see him undo the seat harness, and his parachute harness, unzip his flight suit and pull it down, lift his butt off the seat and jam the cardboard under there, all while holding altitude and course so ATC wouldn't give him heck. And after all that work, all he produced was a thunderous fart.

If you're having airborne intestinal distress, make sure nobody's recording the audio...

For those of you with delicate sensibilities, there's some salty aviator language in this recording...you've been warned!

Is this what happens when you leave yourself logged in and leave the computer with the kids?
