Outpouring of Love - Shart for Solidarity

Many of you have showed Great Bloggy Love with encouraging words and well wishes since Savant started getting sick in May.

As she heads off for treatment at the Shea Ear Clinic in Memphis, here is your opportunity to foster discussion about Meniere's Disease while publicly showing support for this lively, acerbic b*tch we all know and love.

Poop yourself.

Shart for Solidarity

Not a political statement, just an outpouring of love.

It's simple to do. Men & women, regardless of age, station, faith, marital status or shoe size, will shart themselves on June 17th, 2009. People everywhere will show their solidarity by wearing their shart pants, capris or shorts through the day (or until they chafe.)

Shart may be brown, yellow/green or gray. It may be formed or loose.
Don't shart a skirt. Or a thong.
If you have a beer gut, think twice.
Do not tuck a long shirt into sharted bottoms.
Washable footwear is recommended for those with fluid stools.

The shart is worn proudly to symbolize the inner compassion carried in the hearts of blog pals from all walks of life. Make flyers, call your politicians, or simply crop dust your workplace/home.

Dedicate your shart on behalf of these well-known sufferers of Meniere's…

Make a mud bunny for Marilyn Monroe.
Fire your rear thrusters for Alan B. Shepard.
Make a batch of hell’s candy for Martin Luther.
Evolve into a human espresso machine for Charles Darwin.
Make some sweet keester cakes on behalf of Emily Dickinson.
Craft a grunt sculpture for Vincent Van Gogh.

Let's all shout a collective, "Our sharts go out to you Kel!"
