What about this crop circle?

If you're an amateur circlemaker and you don't want to get caught trespassing, then you had best make sure you don't leave anything behind in the field. Common sense, right? So what are you gonna do if the crop circle takes 14 hours and you gotta take a dump?

Right...because tresspassing is such a horrific crime that the poop will be instantly sent to a lab for DNA analysis. We can't let these hoodlums get away with it!
 
Mitigation of Poop Bagging is critical when planning something devious. Poop-Bag Mitigation is also critical when hunting in a tree stand, and on long road trips when you are afraid of stopping for fear of waking up your kid in the car seat.

Some guy is pushing a crop circle tshirt.

Now if you found a crop circle made such that the ratio of its circumference to its diameter is a rational number, you might have an argument, Limbo. . . .
 
Nothing written by crop circle proponents could ever be considered rational...

ETA: Except in Alabama.
ETA, ETA: by law.
ETA, ETA, ETA: and perhaps Indiana

I'll quibble with you on that phrase "crop circle proponents".

I would call Stray Cat a crop circle proponent, and his statements have all been rational. Ditto the people who make crop circles and attempt to get them talked about in the news.

By proponent, I was referring to those "open minded" croppies that contend that there is more to crop circle creation and characteristics than could be created by people.

My PC use of "proponent" instead of the inflammatory "woo" confused that post, it seems.

I actually knew what you meant, and that's why I called my point a "quibble"--just didn't want to paint with too broad a brush.

And I don't much like the term "woo" either. Trouble is, with someone like Limbo, it otherwise takes more words to limit the description.

FWIW, I think Limbo also believes the crop circles are all made by humans, but just that they require paranormal activity too. . . or something!
 
I haven't actually read any of the posts in this thread, but I just wanted to jump in and say the thread title has a nice ring to it. It would be a cool way to join a group discussion at a party some time: Just walk up as say "What about this crop circle?"

You would say that
You're a towel

If I've ignored something someone said it's because they are on my ignore list. I have a rather large ignore list.

Sometimes I read a post here and there by people on my ignore list, to see if they still piss me off. If they don't, sometimes I take them off ignore.

Yup, you still do. :p

Do I? Do I really?
Let me see if I care.
Hmm. Can't find any give-a-**** in that pocket.
None in that pocket either.

Guess I don't care.

I figure if the scene is anything like this:

[qimg]http://www.circlemakers.org/Img/camera.jpg[/qimg]

[qimg]http://www.circlemakers.org/Img/spotlight.jpg[/qimg]

then maybe porta-potties are around somewhere. If I was the farmer who owned that land, one of my questions would have been about their toiletry plans. Think you all are gonna crap on my plants? Think again. If you want my permission to make a crop circle on my land, you'll make sure you leave my land the way you find it. Other than the crop circle, of course. :p

So what do they do? Go out a ways and squat in the field and hope the farmer doesn't notice? Go to the farmers house and use his bathroom? Or drag a porta-potty out there?

If you're an amateur circlemaker and you don't want to get caught trespassing, then you had best make sure you don't leave anything behind in the field. Common sense, right? So what are you gonna do if the crop circle takes 14 hours and you gotta take a dump? Do you bring toilet paper with you? You gonna just walk a ways away from the circle and squat, not caring if the farmer finds a turd? Or maybe dig a deep hole? Crap in a big baggie and take it with you? Take a break and drive home to use the bathroom? What?

I mean, if circlemakers are out there all night for 14 hours at a time they must have to think about various little things like that. Right? Gee, I wish there was an experienced circlemaker around here who is willing to answer questions about various things (even if they are incriminating) that may seem trivial now but could be important later.

Wow! You know what farmers call it when somebody "craps on their plants"? Free fertilizer.

Also, if you don't want the farmer to see your turds and toilet paper, there's a simple device to prevent that. It's called a shovel. Since you probably don't understand what I'm saying, I will explain in detail: Use the shovel to dig a small hole. If you don't know how to operate a shovel, ask somebody to show you which end to hold. Crap in the hole and put your toilet paper in the hole. Cover up the crap and toilet paper with the dirt you piled up when you dug the hole. For crying out loud Limbo, what do you think people did before plumbing was invented? What do you think farm laborers and sheep herders still do now?

OK--so we've shown that a lack of porta potties doesn't prove paranormal activity, but c'mon! It sometimes rains!!!!!

How can humans possible deal with that without paranormal activity??!!!

;)
 
After reading this thread I'm starting to get a little confused in this elusive capricious tricky field of cutting-edge cereology.

So, if one poops while making a crop circle is it a psychic poop then? Can it tell the future? What if two teams poop independently? For what purpose is the crop circle needed?

The Military Channel just last night showed the British Army manual dated 1926 on field sanitation, which included the use of a modified ammunition box for a comfy seat, attributing the proliferation of dysentery in Rommel's Africa Corps to a lack of concern for field sanitation, and their consequent inability to keep a viable fighting force on the front line, Rommel himself being dyspeptic.

I'm sure that with psychic poop, like with any other avenue of the paranormal, once you take away the misrepresentations, exaggerations and lies, you are left with a pile of mundane crap... in fact in this case, probably more so.
 
I haven't read much of this thread, but I know something about how crap circles are made.
Its really quite amazing, and all too true:

Cattle in my zone, that are out in pastures in the winter, are fed huge round bales of hay.
They stand around the bales; mouths facing inwards; asses out.
As it takes some time for them to completely chew up one of these round bales, the grass around the bales is stomped to bare. Also, they poop in a rough circle around the center of the bale.

Come springtime, that fertilizer causes an intense circle of growth that is clearly visible from the roads. Its is much taller and greener than the surrounding grass.

Being as the grass is eventually bailed, it is indeed a 'crop'.
So, these real 'crap circles' are also crop circles.

There are also circular fields as the result of irrigation systems. But I don't think anyone is attributing them to paranormal activity.
