I PICTURE a couple of my ex boyfriends in my mind. Just standing there looking like the shitmen they are!

Well if there's beers on it...

Snowmen = frosty the snow man, three blobs of snow stacked up with a carrot nose.

Replace snow with shit. Not sure what you'd use for the nose.

Now where's my bloody beer?!

Someone who might want to think about changing their name to something that americans won't laugh at?

:bolt:

(I see some weird...to me anyway...names. How would you like the first name Dildo? OK, that isn't it exactly but it's darn close and I shouldn't say since it might be the only person in the country with that first name and I could get busted.) :lol:
glatt • Nov 10, 2011 8:32 am
Shitmen?

I picture a small group of guys. Maybe 5 or 6, standing around wearing overalls and hard hats. A couple of them have shovels. They all have head lamps. I guess they look a lot like miners. One of them is tall and skinny, one is a bit plump. There's some sort of ethnic guy in there, and a guy who looks like groundskeeper Willie. And finally a handsome one. I've only got a vague notion of what it is they do. Something with the sewers underground. But the important thing is that they fight for us. They fight crime and corruption. Oh, and there is a work truck with weird equipment on it. And they are dirty and don't smell so good.
infinite monkey • Nov 10, 2011 8:53 am
Every now and then they break into song.

Sometimes they touch on important social issues, like if Shitman 2 should let his daughter go on the pill, or if Shitman 4 should get tested for AIDS after his encounter with the bartender at Regular's (their after work hangout.) Polly Ips is a remnant of the old country with a heart of gold and a razor-sharp wit. Her oft-repeated phrase "Who gives a shit?" has spawned a merchandising franchise rivaled only by "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?"

"Tonight, on a very special Shitmen..."

It's a drama, a comedy, a musical...it's a Dramedyical!
glatt • Nov 10, 2011 9:03 am
There's lots of sneaking around. But it's easy for them, because of course the sewers lead everywhere. And they aren't those little 6 inch wide drain pipes. The sewers in shitmen's city are all human sized. And there are doors that lead from the sewers into all the different buildings.

They all had dreams for more from life, but deep down in side, they know they are happiest as shitmen, because it's the only place where they can be accepted for who they are and what their talents are.

Clodfobble • Nov 10, 2011 9:48 am
Yeah, I picture human men with shit on them, or somehow involved in shit.

I do not picture walking shit creatures, which is what I'm guessing this beer debate is about: primarily men with shit characteristics, or primarily shit with man characteristics? Like Mr. Hanky!

She pictured guys like glatt described. I'm calling zen's snowshitmen one in my column..... but that's the only one. I was counting on foot and flint to see little shitmen...but they failed me.

I don't even remember how this came up... a typo, but i forget the context.

I owe her a beer or beers, I'm not sure which.

thanks for playing, cellar
edit: spex's goes in my column, but too late.

And how does something like that come up, anyway? :lol:

I think you and glatt should continue your shitmen story, though... i was quite enjoying reading about them.

We've got meetings with the folks at FX and Spike, to pitch our show.

Certainly, you are the creative consultant, jim. ;)
glatt • Nov 10, 2011 10:15 am
Little men made of shit would be "shit creatures" to me. Or maybe "shit monsters."
Clodfobble • Nov 10, 2011 12:29 pm
The more I think about it though, it's not universal. If you say "broccoli men," or "stone men," I think of creatures made of those things. But "dirt men," again, that's real men who are really dirty. Hmm....
infinite monkey • Nov 10, 2011 12:35 pm
If a shitman were drinking a glass of water, and someone told a joke, and the shitman busted out laughing and sprayed water everywhere, would that be a shittake?

I know the spelling is wrong. There'shroom for improvement.
jimhelm • Nov 10, 2011 12:52 pm
what i actually typed was SHIT MEN

dunno if that matters
infinite monkey • Nov 10, 2011 12:57 pm

jimhelm • Nov 10, 2011 1:08 pm
what the fuck are you talking about?

I was just telling clobble that the initial typo was SHIT MEN... she seemed to be still thinking of what the term made her see.

settle down.

... and the other is on the bottom ... but which?


The group of Shitmen are about to head out on their regualr shit-related duties, when the fore-shit-man's phone rings.

"Shit head here" he says. A pause. "Uh-huh ... yeah ... oh, wow ... really? Text me the location. We'll be there in ten." He loks back at the group.

"Big trouble, shitmen. To the shit-mobile! Shitmen AWAY!"

"SHITMEN AWAY!" the crew chorus in response as they leap onto the shitmobile.

Shitmen is an old Jewish family name. "Dr. Shitmen, meet Dr. Assmann" (I truly know an Assmann family)

The Shitmobile leaves skid marks as it plunges away from the curb. Weaving in and out of traffic, the brown light on the roof flashing, and a long low fart sound siren blaring, the Shitmobile runs toward the scene of the emergency call....
infinite monkey • Nov 11, 2011 10:35 am
The shitmobile, an old faithful yet rather crappy vehicle, groaned as the shit head tried to start it. Various shitmen leapt into action, pushing and grunting, so that the Shit Head could start the vehicle with a pop of the old clutch.

There was something in the air that day. Shit Head's assistant, Shit Head No. 2, glanced back at the crew and smiled slightly. It was good work they were doing, honest work. He couldn't imagine working with a better pile of shitmen.

First, Glatt always gets it. Whether we are playing what the hell is this? or listen to this single note and tell us what song it is, or here's an atom, now name the molecule, Glatt is "on it" in a way that is analogous to the infernal hotness of clodfobble's intellectual sweater kittens, in fact if you were to some how merge the two of them they'd be insufferable and we'd have to ban them.

Shit, men. I forgot where I was going with all this.
