Speak for yourself, neocon.
I’m just saying you can detect it. Which is not the same thing as seeing it with your own eyes–like with beets.
I haven’t observed the urine thing so much, but I notice my wife doesn’t make me eat asparagus so much anymore.
40% of the population reacts to asparagus with a chemical in the urine called methyl mercaptan, which stinks. They also put methyl mercaptan in natural gas so we can smell gas leaks. I’m in the 40%. So shoot me.
What the fuck. You born yesterday? Or is this the first time you’ve eaten that vile weed?
Ugh @ Matt. You sick fuck.
Have you fed your son raisins and then changed his diaper yet?
Another miracle of the digestive system.
GAY COCK VEGETABLE.
Is this a reference to golden showers? Good god Jeff, I have a sick mind, but that’s just plain nasty.
BECAUSE OF THE…?
ABSOLUTIST!
For polling purposes: at least Jeff and I have stinky pee in common.
But asparagus is so good. Is it worth it? Why yes it is.
What is the Universe trying to say when the Germans annually go insane about asparagus (the “Spargelzeit”)?
Aspargus is nasty anyfuckingways. It’s all stringy and tastes like shit. And everyone eats the stupid tips too; which I don’t get because that seems to be the worst-tasting part – mmmm, essence of earwax. WTF. Just eat broccoli; it tastes better with cheese and it doesn’t make your piss stink.
I think that you can appreciate this.
Ayep, methyl mercaptan undeniably stinks. It is, after all, a component of skunk spray (with its cousin butyl mercaptan).
It ain’t supposed to smell like roses.
Mercaptans are also produced when sunlight hits beer, which is why I never buy beer that comes in green or clear bottles.
TW: Fear. Fear the beer. The skunky beer.
Am I the only one of Jeff’s minions who doen’t make a habit out of SMELLING THEIR PEE?
Yes Sean, you are.
Which is precisely why no one around here likes you.
Eat a can of tuna. That should take care of it!
Call any vegetable.
Call it by name.
You got to call one today,
‘Fore they get off the train.
Call any vegetable
And the chances are goo -oo -ood,
The vegetable will respond to you.
Shoop, shoop, la la-a la la.
The vegetable will respond to you.
Off topic, but you can’t make this stuff up about Mother Sheehan. Now she has to pay her bills…

The Anchoress is pissed.

Can’t someone just make CINDY(TM) go away? Let’s get Pat Robertson on the case…
Cheers – DC
Funny, with me it’s my pee that makes my asparagus stink.
I don’t think you’re supposed to pee on it before you eat it. I could be wrong, though.
I can’t eat eggs ‘cause there’s a chick in there
And I wouldn’t eat liver on a triple double dare
I won’t eat spinach ‘cause it’s a dumb old weed
And oatmeal is nothing but dried horse feed
Parents tell you they’re great, cauliflower and broccoli
But one bite will tell you they’re as bad as they look to be
And as you know, it is impossible to eat
a Brussels sprout, a turnip, a parsnip or a beet
Now don’t you see? The only foods you need to make
Are those nutritious, delicious cookies, candies, pies and cakes
WE WANT PIE!!!
Yeah, and what’s with the itching and burning?
Damn asparagus.
Ahhhh, but the taste….
No one will know
If you don’t want to let ‘em know
No one will know
‘Less it’s you that might tell ‘em so
Call and they’ll come to you
Covered with dew
Vegetables dream
Of responding to you
Standing there
Shiny & proud by your side
Holding your hand
While the neighbors decide
Why is a vegetable
Something to hide?
YAR-R-R-R-R-G-H!
I read a summary of a study that concluded the phenomenon was related to who could smell whatever metabolized asparagus consists of. In other words its not that some are fragrant pissers, its that only some are able to smell the fragrance. Like I also read is the case with tasting caffeine. I would post a link to the study, but my google search turned up so much foul stuff i can’t do the research at work!
According to Ben Franklin, you’re supposed to take a turpentine pill daily to make your pee smell rosy-fresh.
Your point?
Yeah, yeah, I know – wear a hat and nobody will notice.
Go ahead. Be a pinhead hater, see if I care!
According to this, everyone’s pee stinks when they eat asparagus, but some people are genetically incapable of smelling the funk.
If someone pisses in the woods and noone can smell it, does it stink?
Whoa there DC. Back up!
How is Cindy Sheehan off topic from stinky pee pee?
(I’ve got to go run a little water through my John Thomas. I’ll expect an answer when I return)
So that’s what she meant when she was done.
Here comes the science behind the stink
Not surprisingly, it’s in a PEEr reviewed journal.
I find that the consumption of coffee or cheerios each produce detectable odors upon using a urinal. Next study!
-W. C. Fields
There’s a lesson there for everyone.
Ah HA! I was wondering why the last six-pack of beer I bought, the stuff smelled like skunk when I opened it.
Moosehead. Green bottles. Yep.
“Sir, put down the skunky beer, and slowly back away!”
Jesus, an offhand comment about your piss, and you get 40 comments?
That’s clout, baby.
