words by ryan marshall

marshall: fresh and so clean, clean
fresh and so clean, clean : marshall

All I wanted was to feel like roses but instead I felt like I was violated by water.

We all have heard about hydrocolonics and how celebrities swear by them. I personally have been curious for years about this “cleansing” process but there is no way in hell I'm gonna pay a doctor to siphon water into my ass, so this left me with only one option: a $5.99 home enema kit.

Don't look at me that way! You know you're curious, too. Now I had no idea what this thing looked like and I was even more frightened to find that it was an object I had seen many times in my past in just about every cabinet of every house I had ever been to. Who knew that this red bag that I had seen hundreds of times before served such a dirty function?

I'm not going to go into step-by-step details of what goes on because we all know the basic function of this mechanism. Well, maybe a little detail is called for. As I am contemplating this idea, I first asked myself self a few questions. One: “Why am I about to put water somewhere it shouldn't be?” Two: “Am I that desperate for a column topic?” Three: “Am I going to cry in shame for two or three hours after I perform this on myself?”

Let's do a quick summary for all of you who don't know what happens: Tube goes in, valve is released, water starts to violate you, one minute passes and the water leaves. That's about it.

Being a virgin to this process, I wasn't sure whether I should have brought a mop or should just spread some newspaper. Then I wasn't sure what to expect when it was going the other way but it was much like someone in a riot: Things are getting the hell out of there, taking everything they can on the way out.

I could have sworn this experience would have left me with nothing but shame and remorse – which it did – but it also left me with a freshness that's like the one you get after cleaning your car after a whole year. When it's finally clean, you feel great driving around, but while you're cleaning, you're always really surprised to find what was in there.

ah, nothing like good ass humor in the morning
marshall: the "spread the newspaper" line had me laughing out loud - reminded me of sparky pissing all over my sleeping bag in 7th grade at your place on kings ct.
