The Story Of Butthole Day

By | Posted Under Miscellaneous | Comments (34)



ButtholeDayMythos.png

Gather ‘round children, gather ‘round… today, I’m going to tell you the most magical story of all: The story of Butthole day. Sure, Halloween has candy, and Christmas has presents, and Valentine’s day has the crushing, inescapable truth that you will die alone and unloved, but the magic of Butthole day, the true meaning and spirit of the holiday, comes from deep inside you.

Specifically, inside your butt cheeks. And actually, it really isn’t all that far. But that’s neither here nor there.

It is said that on the eve before Butthole Day, Joan Holloway loads her festive, pink murdertank full of toilet paper handcrafted her magical workshop of powerbottoms, then flies off into the air, to deliver them to all the good boys and girls of the world.

In preparation for Joan’s arrival, people everywhere, both young and old, rich and poor, man and woman, hang their underwear by the fireplace, hoping that Joan Holloway will come down the chimney while they sleep. It is said that the good boys and girls are given toilet paper so soft and silky-smooth, that it was made from the down of angels mixed with rainbows and 2% recycled post-consumer paper.

Those who are naughty, however, suffer a worse fate: they are given the crappy bulk toilet paper used in public washrooms and hotels. They wake up in the morning to find the one-ply atrocity that awaits them, and when they wipe, it irritates their buttholes, and then the paper rips and their fingers go through. Such fates await those who are naughty.

In the days leading up to Butthole day, it’s appropriate for the children to hang strands of toilet paper from the trees and along banisters inside the house. Cozies are slipped onto toilet seats, and high-fiber cookies and coffee are left out for Joan Holloway.

But the real joy of Butthole Day is the joy of expression; of knowing that, thanks to the daily sacrifices of brave men and women everywhere, we live in a country where we are free to say “BUTTHOLE!” whenever and wherever we want. A country that gives us the freedom, not just of speech, but of an open dialogue, and debate. It doesn’t matter whether or not you say “BUTTHOLE” today; all that matters is the fact that you can.

Communism collapsed because of a lack of 2-ply. True story.

Wife is resolute; she will not celebrate Butthole Day with me. She does not recognize our traditions, and is repulsed by my assertion that her Butthole demands attention.

I thank you all for this bounty, for on this day, I am buttressed by your words. There is no longer a hole in my psyche unattended by the gentle ministrations of my good friends here, and your bonhomie fills me with warmth and joy.

You cannot get closer to my Pajiba, than by sharing your Butthole with me.

Also, I don't have a fireplace. How ever will Joan leave my toilet paper tidings in my underthings without it? HOW??

Joan Holloway is a Vagiant!

Oh Butthole Day!
Oh Butthole Day!

We love to celebrate you!

Oh Butthole Day!
Oh Butthole Day!

High fiber foods make the best poo!

That spicy chili is a bitch!
You buck and spasm, leak and itch!

Oh Butthole Day!
Oh Butthole Day!

Soft TP's great but....
Try a bidet!

Pish tosh, everyone knows that Butthole Day was co-opted from ancient Druidic celebration of Bodhol. On the first crescent moon after harvest, it was traditional to purify yourself one last time before all the leaves fell from the trees, which were considered sacred. After all, it's a long winter without wiping material if you were born in a culture without paper manufacturing.

Are we supposed to listen to The Butthole Surfers all Butthole Day?

(Meh, any butthole will do. They were just trying to cash in on the holiday really. - JF)

Wait, was I supposed to hang my underwear up LAST night? Does anyone have any Desitin?

Posted by: Paultera at November 12, 2010 2:29 PM

Butthole Day is almost my favorite day of the year.

Posted by: MM at November 12, 2010 2:33 PM

Hey, let's all keep the Butt in Butthole day. Too often the real meaning of Butthole day is lost, what with the parties and the cushy TP and the cards and flashy gifts and holiday specials with E.U. and Sir Mix A Lot. Don't ever forget what Butthole day is really about...

BUTTTTTTTTHOOOOOOOOOLE!

Posted by: mrcreosote at November 12, 2010 2:35 PM

Oh, come, all ye Buttholes
pungent and puckering.
Oh come ye, oh come ye
to find some 2-ply.

Jo-oan will give you
Charmin, Kleenex or Northern.
O come, let us wi-ipe
O come, let us wi-i-ipe
O come, let us wipe
Ha-ang your knickers

Jeremy, I really think you've put your finger on, and possibly in, exactly what this day is all about.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at November 12, 2010 2:39 PM

I'm not sure I can participate in Butthole Day. For starters, a police officer calling everyone he deals with a "butthole" will probably get him fired, or at the very least, yelt at (although, to be honest, an awful lot of the folks I deal with ARE buttholes).

But the biggest problem is that I do not pronounce butthole "butthole." Rather, ever since a pimply, large fore-headed blond cartoon character on MTV came along, I pronounce it something like "buttle." As in, "quit it, buttle." God I miss Beavis and Butthead...

mrcreosote,

Did you just name-check E.U.? I think I love you...

Is Christina Hendricks in a summerstock production of Grease?

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at November 12, 2010 3:48 PM

You are so fucking bizarre. I LOVE IT.

Is Christina Hendricks in a summerstock production of Grease?

And now, Mrs. Julien, I love you. (I'm fickle that way.) When I first saw that header picture, I was seriously trying to figure out what was going on, but I think you hit the nail on the head.

Posted by: MM at November 12, 2010 4:04 PM

MM - I'm Releasing the Jesus Cobras right back at you!

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at November 12, 2010 4:10 PM

MM, I'm pretty sure E.U. will be an opening act for the Butthole Music Festival. Although Oasis may be the headliners. Or perhaps LFO.

Posted by: Mrcreosote at November 12, 2010 4:27 PM

Mrs. Julien, you beguiling creature, we're obnoxiously clamoring for you over on the stupid facespaces. Stop being charming here for a sec and go friend Lainey, mk?

Posted by: coveredinbees at November 12, 2010 4:32 PM

I can't do it from work. But all of the attention is turning my head.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at November 12, 2010 4:38 PM

Oh boy! I'm so lucky to share my birthday with Butthole Day! I'm the luckiest of girls!

Posted by: 1qtp2t at November 12, 2010 4:38 PM

That's Christina Hendricks? No shit. I thought that was Rose McGowan. Yeah, no, I do not approve of this picture. You're prettier than this Christina. Go fix yourself. We'll wait.

Posted by: Lainey at November 12, 2010 4:40 PM

I think this story leaves out one key point....Butthole Day was a week ago...Nov 6th....

(*Points to the first story of the day* You see that? That means it's Butthole Day, capisce? Now tell your butthole you love him/her/it and quit being such a funsucker. - JF)

I love the hell out of everything in that article and all the comments. I LOVE BUTTHOLE DAY!!!

Posted by: figgy at November 12, 2010 6:38 PM

i've never actually seen mad men and had to look up who joan holloway was.

I approve of the patron saint of this most, err, holy of days.

That explains why my cat spent the last ten minutes climbing all over my desk and sticking his arse in my face.
I just thought he was being an annoying little shit.

Posted by: ScienceGeek at November 12, 2010 9:03 PM

forgive me....i love you my glorious butthole

Posted by: Luke at November 12, 2010 9:33 PM

I need TP for my butthole... BBBUUUTTTTTTHHHOOOLLLEEE

Posted by: Corholio at November 12, 2010 11:07 PM

O holey butt
The toilet brightly shiiiiining
Just have a seat
And relief will be yours

Long lay a log
Or pinch a loaf
Quit whiiiiiining
Chew some Ex-Lax
And unload with great force

Flush with success
The weary butt rejoices
For on the throne
You have to make a choice:

Make a doo-doo
Or crap to fill the bowl up
Oh butt di-vine!
O-oh butt, blest with a hole
Oh butt, di-VINE!
O-oh butt, oh butt divine!
