In all seriousness though, the world has much bigger problems than some trash and feces left behind by the worlds privileged elite that have enough time and $ for such high risk recreational pursuits.

Exactly.  That's why this whole thread was tongue-in-cheek.  

I saw that vid and thought it was a perfect example of a problem that isn't really a problem to anyone but those who have interest in climbing Everest.  

I actually do hope they build a digester or come up with some other solution to clean up their mess.

Poop stories!!
Since you asked for it...
This was around 1999 some time. I was a manager in a BIG liquor store in northern Manhattan. Behind the retail area of the store was a utility room that led to an office and had a stairwell down to the basement with a conveyor belt to move boxes of wine or booze up and down. There were some shelves and a cardboard compactor there and, on this day, there was a box sitting on the floor with some broken bottles in it. It was a big store so there were always a few salespeople from the wholesalers hanging around. They would often have a rep from a winery or somebody from their mgt with them so it wasn't unusual to see somebody I hadn't met wandering around the place.

So I was bringing some empty boxes back to the compactor and out of the corner of my eye, I saw this guy near the top of the stairs.

Something struck me odd. He wasn't quite in the right spot to be walking up from the basement. He was just a little bit disheveled and wearing a members-only jacket, which was kind of odd by '99. He immediately headed back towards the sales floor so I challenged him and went over to see if he was trying to steal something.


Then I looked down in the box of broken bottles and saw a giant pile of shit, so fresh you could see heat waves coming off it.

I ran after the guy and said "did you just take a shit in that box?!!!!"
He was like "yeah I guess so".
I was completely gobsmacked (didn't know wether to shit or go blind you might stay) but it got worse cause the guy just went and started shopping. I completely lost my shit- "where the fuck are you going now?!!!" He was like "I'm looking for the Chivas". There was no way he was buying any Chivas at that point. I completely lost my cool and chased him out, cursing him out all the way. In hind sight, maybe I could have handled it better but at the time I was so enraged my head almost exploded.

AHaha - Brownski, that's pretty funny.

Speaking of funny things, did anyone ever see the original video of that Japanese(?) guy skiing Everest with the parachute?  I swear that was the funniest thing I ever saw the first time I saw it.  I laughed hysterically.  I bet there were a few poopsicles in his fart bag when he was done.

There's a good one on youtube now that I should find of a guy skiing K2.  It's actually pretty impressive in a super-human sort of way.  It doesn't really look fun, but hey, it looks a hell of a lot better than that guy skiing Everest.
