The official belly button poll

you missed out 'none':
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7738144.stm

Damnit I knew I should have included "wacky write-in vote"

Innie; deep and tightly knotted; no flange; slightly hairy round the edge.

Too much detail?

Can post pictures if u like

Pictures of belly buttons are not scandalous, I don't think. There was a belly button thread once with pics, but it was years ago and of course all the pics are gone.

no flange

Is such a thing expected?

ex gf's used to smell of shit. nothing remarkable about mine, tbh

ex gf's used to smell of shit.

I don't think I believe you.

absolutely true. an hour after a shower it would reek of ass.

is this thread on TMI?

no flange

You know that upper lip that some folks have?

e.g. http://leversandpulleys.com/artblog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/newest_button_ch.JPG

^ that is SFW BTW

Ah ha.

I suppose I have a slight flange myself. Never gave it a thought. Certainly never thought to call it a flange.

Yeah, I think that in terms of evolutionary biology, that flanged edge acted a bit like a tiny ski-jump so that the navel didn't fill up with gravy in the days before shirts were invented.

HA

absolutely true. an hour after a shower it would reek of ass.

Surely it did not reek of actual ass. My guess is that you two were a bad biological match, and some of her smells were unpleasant to you on some lizard-brain level. Someone else is loving her sweet sweet belly button perfume right now.

yah but he's a fat cunt.

No, bellybuttons can get stinky, they sure can.

but the damned thing smelled of shit, there is no two ways about it.

I am learning new things already.

TMI FOLLOWS
For a week or two once mine decided to produce small amounts of some kind of smelly (though not, err, shit-smelling) oil and the skin flaked a bit - I guess this was a minor infection? Ironically it only happened after I read that they could get infected and decided I should clean it more. So after that I went back to just leaving it alone - I mean, it gets showered, but not specifically scrubbed - and it seems to take care of itself OK.
(end tmi, sorry)

I wouldnt say shit so much as ... sebacea? would that be the word? Skin oil gone off.

thks guys.

i know what shit smells like.

xxp A self-cleaning oven.

i know what shit smells like.

You know what you think shit smells like. But that's like the question of whether everyone sees the same colors or if we all agree on the names for the colors we all subjectively see.

Kenan, by that analogy no one knows what shit smells like innit? If her belly button had a smell exactly like what Darraghmac considers the smell of shit, it's simple: it smelled like shit.

I explained this earlier. It smells like shit to him. It's not an empirical measurement, though, and her stinky belly button might smell like hot, prime mating material to some other monkey.

Alright, we're in perfect agreement then

i'mma rub some shit on a postcard and send it to kenan, he can let us know.

I have a cat box... save yourself the trouble. Really.

i can literally put my house keys in it :-/

Innie of course. A mystery is always cuter! Plus it gives the "blowing to someones navel to make a fart-like sound" better acoustics.

I have a cat box... save yourself the trouble. Really.

but your cat shit could smell like roses to me, essentially. we need a valid comparator here. no, a shitcard is the only solution.

*sigh*

This thread is not at all what I wanted it to grow up to be. Such is life, I guess.

i'm sure the poll will provide the necessary information. i mean, what do you want people to say about their belly buttons?

Let me think on that.

How much ejaculate does your belly button hold, in cubic centimeters?

jeez, i've never measured in cubic centimetres, now that y'ask

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I missed this poll. I would like to add my vote for "None" as I don't have one. What I do have is the scar from an umbilical hernia operation that I had as a small child. When I was a kid I used to imagine that it was the point where I'd burst if I ate too much. I guess I was probably quite a strange child...

As I have said on at least one other thread, the whole genesis of the concepts "innie" and "outie" was that you could dupe anyone into declaring "I am a ninny."

what the FUCK

I'm an outie, and I'm pretty sure I voted outie. I'm the only outie? WTF is wrong with this world?

Innie. Also this thread is really gross. :-(

'm the only outie? WTF is wrong with this world?

Compared the general population, this poll is aberrant. There should have been about 10% outies, so at least 3 or 4.

Innie. Also this thread is really gross. :-(

I know. i'm sorry. It got away from me.

When I was 7, there was this girl around my age that was a friend of the family who had a belly button that stuck out over a inch or so. I remember seeing it and thinking it was a penis or something. I still remember the green shirt she was wearing. I saw her last year again and she was now this 34 year old women and that was all I could think of. I know she had some kind of medical condition, but I never figured out what it was.
