In which a group of graying eternal amateurs discuss their passions, interests and obsessions, among them: movies, art, politics, evolutionary biology, taxes, writing, computers, these kids these days, and lousy educations.

Emissions Controls

Dear Blowhards --

Given all the twisting, squeezing, and deep breathing that is encouraged in yoga classes, it's amazing that this kind of episode doesn't occur more frequently. Essential yoga tip from one who has learned from hard experience: Don't eat anything solid for three hours prior to class. Some earnest commenters debate what I guess we might call the etiquette of yoga-farting here.

Best,

Michael

There's even a yoga posture called in English, 'Wind relieving pose'. It consists of lying on your back and with your arms drawing your knees up and back into your shoulders or armpits (which spreads your wind-hole wide open). Wind relief? Oh yeah! I can speak from gas-emitting experience that the pose works well indeed.

Yoga-farting, wind-hole?

I swear, Michael, this place is just full of....

Cull-chur.

To quote a recent bad TV commercial:

"I remain silent but deadly on this topic".
