Everyone, Meet Sh*tman

Shitman, meet everyone...

It took a long time for the legendary Shitman to jump back into the public eye. Eleven years to be exact. But the time is now, seeing as he decided to show up at a recent party.

The John Wayne Look

Back in my good ol' record store days when The Cranberries' No Need To Argue released, the ad of the month was a couch potato theme, mirroring the record cover of the band sitting on a couch. (I didn't come up with that one.) So we had all these posters of couches, potatoes, cranberries and such for displays and merch. Well this guy, Shitman, was the prop. There were alot of questions. Why does this potato have eyes? And why not a mouth? Is this really a potato? Or is it a turd?

He was used in the ad for the first portion, but had to be taken away because customers began to mold him in interesting positions that may have not been suitable for children. He quickly became a regular in the back room.

Shitman hung out at the store the entire four-ish years that I worked there. Made tons of friends. A day didn't go by when Shitman was not somehow involved in at least conversation. When I left, he came with me. Ever since, he has lived with Jag (the girl) on many occasions, back at my place, at boyfriend's houses, and even at my parent's house.

And now, as I embark on my new adventure, Jag is going to keep a watchful eye and make sure he doesn't get into any trouble. May he serve you well.
