1753 - The Great Crepitation Contest

I don't know if I ever heard this whole recording. As a matter of fact, I don't know if I ever heard any of it. I remember lots of people talking about it though. Talking about what? The farting contest narrated by Sidney S Brown. From the early 1940's by Columbia records.

Anyway, there's a site that has a full explanation and the recording of it. It's about 15 minutes long. But you have to listen to this at least once so you know what people are talking about when they go "Oh he shit!".

My father told us for years about this recording, but we never heard it until I found a CD copy in a catalog called "Things You Never Knew Existed." I don't think the CD has the "full" version, because Dad remembered a lot of details that weren't on the CD, but it's still hysterically funny. How about a Triple Flutterblast for the winner...?

B - I won't say the real ending was disappointing but the versions of the ending I'd heard over the years had been embellished quite a bit.

Hard luck, Your Lordship!

I'm going to have to look into this when the kids are sleeping. The last thing I need is my son perseverating on farts.

B - I could come out with an updated version.

L - Did you come back? Did you listen?
