Better Out Than In!

President of Poppers, "Whoopey Cushion" Wayne and Vice-President of Vibrations, "Gutbusting" Garth start a flatulence club in an old, dark shack. The air date is April 6, 2001.

## THE BEGINNING

A package of Chili-Cheeseburger Chips and Word Bites Cereal is delivered, then Wayne gets a great idea: Flatulence Club! The rules are written down: "1. Don't talk about Flatulence Club in public; it's all about privacy here. 2. DO NOT join Flatulence Club if you are offended by flatulence. You don't have to join the club if you don't want to. 3. DO NOT think about the smell of flatulence. ONLY think about the sound of flatulence as well as the heat. 4. You can bomb and cut however you'd like! 5. NO BLAMING! 6. If the air is way too hot, open up the windows and doors." President of Poppers "Whoopey Cushion Wayne" Campbell cleans out an old, dark shack down the street and then puts the rules on the wall behind him, this making the old, dark shack The Flatulence Clubhouse. Vice-President of Vibrations Garth Algar carries the box of Chili-Cheeseburger Chips into the clubhouse, leaving the box of Word Bites Cereal behind for next week.

## THE MIDDLE PART

Flatulence Club has their very first meeting, complete with Chili-Cheeseburger Chips! President of Poppers, "Whoopee Cushion Wayne" Campbell, really lets things go with the first of his funniest farts called "The Whoopey Cushion," which is a really loud fart that imitates its name. In response to Wayne's really loud cut, Vice-Prez "Gutbusting" Garth does the first of his funniest farts, called "The Heiney Hiss" and then, after a while, follows it up with another favourite of his named "The SBV" (Silent But Violent.) President Wayne then announces that next week, there will be new farts all because of eggs, hot dogs, cabbage, Fizz soda, sardines, popcorn, onions and Word Bites!

The next week, Flatulence Club comes back as Vice-President of Vibrations "Gutbusting" Garth Algar brings in the package of Word Bites Cereal. After eating an egg with Chili-Cheeseburger Chips, President of Poppers, "Whoopey Cushion" Wayne Campbell, does one of his funniest farts named "The Butt Cluck." After having a hot dog with Chili-Cheeseburger Chips, President of Poppers, "Whoopey Cushion" Wayne Campbell, performs another one of his funniest farts named "The Butt Bark." Afterwards, Garth combines Chili-Cheeseburger Chips with cabbage to squeak out one of his funniest farts, dubbed "The Mouse." President Wayne Campbell combines some Chili-Cheeseburger Chips with Fizz soda to make up one of his funniest farts called "The Gassy Fizzer." Wayne then combines a sardine with Chili-Cheeseburger Chips to perform another one of his funniest farts dubbed "The Wet Stainer." President of Poppers, "Whoopey Cushion" Wayne Campbell, combines popcorn with Chili-Cheeseburger Chips to make his all-time favourite fart, "The Broken Record." Garth then has an onion with Chili-Cheeseburger Chips and performs his all-time favourite fart, "The Violator." To wrap up their second weekly meeting, President of Poppers "Whoopey Cushion" Wayne Campbell and Vice-President of Vibrations "Gutbusting" Garth Algar share their favourite cereal from kindergarten, Word Bites, along with Chili-Cheeseburger Chips. "Whoopey Cushion" Wayne Campbell really lets loose with one of his funniest farts that he calls "The Wild Whoopey" and Vice-President of Vibrations, "Gutbusting" Garth Algar replies with one of his funniest farts that he names "The Windy One." President of Poppers, Wayne Campbell, announces that next week, every ingredient will be combined to create the most spectacular flatulence in Aurora, Illinois.

## The Ending

The very next week, Flatulence Club meets for the final time as President Wayne and Vice-President Garth start combining every ingredient they've had: the Chili-Cheeseburger Chips, eggs, hot dogs, cabbage, Fizz soda, sardines, popcorn, onions and Word Bites-to make the most hair-raising flatulence ever! From clucks to barks and from hissing to wet bubbling, the clubhouse loses its colour, so President Wayne Campbell calls his all-time funniest fart "The Paint Peeler" and Vice-President Garth Algar names his all-time funniest fart "The Wallpaper Bomb." At the very end, "Whoopey Cushion" Wayne and "Gut-Buster" Garth declare that Flatulence Club is coming back really soon for more gassy fun!
