Carnal Carnival #1 – Essentials of Elimination

The first edition of the Carnal Carnival is now up, hosted by Bora at A Blog Around The Clock!

As Bora writes,

This month’s topic of the Carnal Carnival is, as you may already have heard, poop. Yes, excretion, defecation, elimination and the resulting products. All things colonic.

The response by the blogosphere was amazing so the carnival is quite big. So fix yourself some coffee (and you may learn how and if that will affect your stool once you read some of these posts), relax (that is also important for the process) and enjoy (yes, it is supposed to be pleasure)!

Go check out all the crappy posts this month!

Next month’s Carnal Carnival will be hosted by Carin Bondar – Biologist With a Twist, and the theme will be barf. Email your submissions to carnivalcarnal AT gmail DOT com by SEPTEMBER 15

Follow the carnival on Twitter for updates.

And you can always find the schedule of hosts and topics here.

Welcome to The Carnal Carnival!

The Carnal Carnival will publish the third Friday of each month. The host will pick the general topic for that particular month (though any post from any carnal topic, broadly construed, will be welcome each month!)

There is also no rule that the post you submit for a given topic must have been written in the previous month. When else would you be able to submit that barf post from 2007, for example? But don’t submit the same post to multiple editions.

You can follow the carnival on twitter, get it by email, or subscribe to the RSS feed all in the sidebar.

Submit your posts by emailing links to: carnivalcarnal AT gmail DOT com
