"Is that supposed to be insulting? I live in a sewer, Georgie!"

Funniest shit is that this is basically how IT was eventually defeated. By being ridiculed and laughed at. Well, that and a preteen orgy ("no, it was a train!", yes I know).

The orgy thing was less effective with my IT. Told us to get dressed and clean out our desks instead.

That's why he could only watch the disrespect: The very act robbed him of the power he weilded. In that moment, he was nothing more powerful than a human stuck in a sewer, watching a child literally shit on the thought of playing with him.

Thank you for succinctly summing up why this scene was powerful and not just smut for the heck of it. A lot of people have issues with that scene but this is the exact reason it's in there.

Wait what

Stephen King did a lot of cocaine and alcohol back in the day. Apparently he doesn't remember writing portions of some books, and one entire book.

But yeah, he wrote a scene that devolves into a preteen orgy, that helps defeat the giant spider with poor self esteem.

Uhhh. Am I wrong? I thought they defeated the evil spider, got lost, preteen train, THEN they find the will to press on and get out?

You know more than I do. I attempted to read the book at one point, but my sister stole it so I didn't get that far, and wasn't invested enough to track the book down as an adult, or watch either movie.

Do... do I need to see a doctor? It floats?

Some of mine float. Others don't. One time I shit for 30 minutes. Really crapped it out. Then I stand up, and the bowl is clean!!! I go to wipe, and there's no poo!!! What the hell was I expelling for 30 minutes???!!!

Poop will sink unless it has enough fiber, gas, or fat (all lighter than water) in it to make it buoyant. Sinking is the norm for me.

Hi YouTube!

I'm Georgie and today we're going to play sink vs float. Let's start with flame thrower flames, do those sink?
