Does your belly thank you for dinner?

[JimNightshade]

just had a nice steak and baked potatoes dinner, with a side of green beans. It was quite lovely actually. As I settled in my old comfy chair to watch a movie (True Grit – it appears so far to be a decent flick), my serotonin infused body was very much at ease. Had I eaten Turkey, you would undoubtedly have known the feeling as tryptophanial postprandial somnolence, which in fact it was, seeing that beef and turkey have the same amount, more or less, of large neutral amino acid transporters – but enough about that for now.

Anyway,

As I sat there, all of a sudden my happy belly made a noise. In fact it sounded like it spoke to me!

“Oh, my, aiiii, ohhh, brrrrrrm, mama!” it said.

I ain't no mama, but that was really quite impressive, so I rushed to my laptop to write this, another piece of pointless trivia.

Does your belly also speak when you least expect it?

Hmm, how the hell did this end up in the box?

Mod please move.

Once you've in the box you can never leave

OK.

Thank you Lord Ghi-Raffe, may the seed of your loin be fruitful in the belly of your woman.

I'm honestly not sure if this is a blessing or a curse.

It's a myth that turkey makes you sleepy. It's actually all the carbs in food like mashed potatoes and stuffing that causes sleepiness.

Bizarre. I have never heard of such a thing.

[JimNightshade]

Hence the amino acid transporters - but that is not important right now.

Does your belly chit chat when you least expect it?

It never makes noises?

If my stomach talked, it would scream.

Mine says "Bloip! Blubbablubbabloip! Mrrrrraaawwwrrrrruhhhh! Bloip! Bloip! Bllllloip!"

It only says then when it's been really empty and I eat something really bodaciously delicious like three bratwursts with onion or two helpings of MsPuna's meat loaf. I think it roughly translates into, "I love you too, big guy! Now stand back while I give your colon nightmares!"

Mine says "One more bite and everything you've eaten for the past week is making the return trip!" Then it tells me to sit real still and not make any sudden moves for the next two hours.

My guts rely on the new silent messaging system..

It's doing that even when I'm not eating.
