hh sent me a book about feces.
Take note what can happen when you say this:
i would be ok with poopy gifts, as long as they're not literally poopy.
Bask in its glory:

Let me elaborate.
There was once a mole who woke up to having feces land on his head.
It went something like this:

(personally, I think it makes a fetching hat)
So the mole went around, asking the various animals if they are the guilty party.
They defend themselves by demonstrating that the appearance of their feces is different than his fecal chapeau.
For instance:

After running through several animals and analyzing their excrement, the mole finally discovers that the culprit is a dog.
He exacts revenge by...
defecating on his head.
YUP.
As it turns out, they make a doll of this guy:

i was hoping those words had similar derivations, but apparently not.
"skat" - greek for dung
"eskhatos" - greek for last
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I love it so much ~^_^~
I saw this book (and promptly read it) in a cafe here in Berlin. I was *quite* amused. Excellent gift.
Oh my freakin god... that's amazing!
I do have to ask though... why is the dog's poo yellow?
Dogs love to eat things which in the words of Satchel from Get Fuzzy, "While edible, aren't actually food." Our dog used to eat Crayolas if left unattended, and then poop easter-eggs all over the yard.
LOOK AT WHAT I FOUND

When you're down and feeling crappy, read this book about poo and you'll feel happy.
Bahahahhaha.
All of this.
S'in German. Ich nicht sprache Deutsch. Rats.
Scat, scatological etc. all have to do with poop. Eschatology, however ("say it with me! Esss cat-ology!"), is defined as "the branch of theology that is concerned with such final things as death and Last Judgment; Heaven and Hell", and loosely, the study of Biblical prophecy. In Spanish the two words are very, very similar. This sort of thing gives me the giggles. Not when I'm interpreting and get the wrong word, though. (Not out loud, anyway. Inside I am :-D.)
I'm curious to know how often you find yourself in that scenario :D
These days, not too often, Catski. I'm no longer very active on the interpreting circuit. Which is a good thing what with the brain fog and all. But about 6 years ago I still had occasion to mix those two words up...theological/religious work was my field. Still is, even though I'm not doing much anymore but teach English from home.
that sounds amazing. Last year for xmas, I gave my dad this book as part of his gift:

Stellar! I need to get that book for my super proper coworker. He started discussing poo with me one day. He obviously hated the conversation, but wouldn't let it go, so we discussed poo for 15 minutes. I now know his poo schedule.
I now know his poo schedule.
Which is definitely TMI. On his part. Even if you were dating. Hell, especially if.
The best part is how proper he is. I do fieldwork in green cargo pants and grey tees or polos. He does fieldwork in Polo shirts, tan name-brand pants, and tasseled loafers (while being exceptionally good at his job, somehow). That I know his poo schedule.
eta: button up Polo shirt with a tie
Love it love it love it!
