Embarrassment

This symptom is typically associated with over-sensitivity, to more or less normal social stimuli, and when felt in excessively intense amounts can be nearly paralyzing.

In some rare cases it's felt for good reason.

Do you remember that time not too long ago?
Do you remember that day after having come in from the noon day sun?
Do you remember how you needed to "sit upon the throne"?
Do you remember that you were in the middle of snacking on some chips?
Do you remember, how in breaking from normal tradition you brought the chips with you?
Do you remember, because no one else was around, that you left to door wide open?
Do you remember your overwhelming urge to get out of your sweat drenched clothes?

I'm sure you do.
So there you sat, on the "throne", naked and eating chips.

Do you remember how the contentment and comfort of that moment were unsurpassed?
Do you remember how you had it all to yourself? 

Nobody else was home.
Nobody should have come home for hours. 
And yet it happened.

Both of you will remember this moment.
Both of you will take this secret moment of embarrassment to the grave.

Tasty Tasty Abdominal Cramps

This flavor lasts well over 24 hours.

It's sweetness graces you gradually.
Very Slowly.
You barely realize it's happening.
Starting by mimicing gas.
Several hours into it you're engulfed in its glory; reveling in its magnificence.
It overwhelms you to the point of near physical, intellectual and emotional paralysis.
Slowly like a dozen needles of love it travels through random points of your abdominal cavity.

Like the will-o-wisp when you think you've located it, it flits off to a new location, with its dull radiant glow casting a light on nearby surroundings.

So full of the glory of this magnificent pain you cannot conceive of trying to replace it with any other flavor; for they all induce a nausea typically reserved for those in purgatory.

This is todays symptom...
