Oh it is, but I think it's the burrito that did it.

A burrito will also cause good pee or poo

Tom,
You won't like this, but I have to be honest... had I been your mom, I would have DEMANDED that your grandmother pull over the car. Why didn't she?

Disneyland
Alex have you been to Disney World in Florida? I would be curious to know what the difference is. We love Universal studios in Florida, I hate to say it, but almost more than Disney. Dr Suess Land is the BEST!

I once walked all the way home from school - uphill ten miles in the
driving snow both directions, of course - so desperate to pee I thought I
was going to go insane at eight years old; I was weeping for the last few
blocks, and every time I tried to run the jolts on my bladder made me
think I was going to lose the loose thread of control I still had. So I very
carefully made it inside, took off my shoes, walked to the bathroom, and
peed my pants just inches from the toilet.
I can't put my finger on any specific behaviour or reaction now in my life
that I can trace back to that moment, but I'm sure it must have scarred
me somehow...
Remind me later to tell you about the department head that works for my
brother and his work-related pants-shitting story. It's a classic.

I almost pissed my pants at a U2 show. And when I saw "There Will Be Blood"...
The U2 show... this was... November 2001, at the Staples Center in LA - I had recently moved to Seattle, and my now-ex, then current gf and I were big U2 fans so we went to LA to see them and so I could meet her family. It was a good trip. Anyway, the U2 tour at the time was one where if you got there early and waited in line all day, you could get a spot in the "Heart" - this circle around the stage. I had gone in April of that year to see them in San Jose, and was in the "heart" and my ex and I wanted to do it again. Soo... we stood all day in the hot LA November Sun, drinking coffee and soda pop... made it into the heart - right up front (Bono sweated on me while singing "Bad") - but by the end of the show I had to pee so bad I was damn near in tears. But you couldn't leave the heart, or you wouldn't get back in, and we had a really good spot. I considered just pissing myself, or picking a cup up off the floor, but... somehow I managed to get through it.
Same for the movie - I did a double feature that day - Cassandra's Dream and then straight into Blood, and I drank a few giant movie sodas - my stomach was KILLING me, felt like I was going to burst - but I couldn't take my eyes off the screen - I had my pants unbuttoned to ease the pressure, but it was killing me - but the movie was so riviting I couldn't walk away...
And Al? Every pants-shitting story is a classic...

Oh, and Al - really? Gordon Lightfoot? Hm...!
My dad used to sing me Gordon Lightfoot songs all the time when I was a kid - play them for me on his guitar. I bought Gord's Gold a few years ago and put it on my iPod and it brings back all these happy childhood memories. And totally clashes with the rest of the music on my pod!

OK, Moyer. (And Mike)
It's way better when Steve (my brother) tells it himself, but here goes:
Steve is the director of quality systems for a large international
manufacturer. In Toronto this company occupies most of the buildings
over a few city blocks. Each plant has its own quality supervisor, and
they have a weekly meeting at HQ in the conference room with Steve.
Those who can't be there and those from more remote plants call in on the
conference phones. Then they spend an hour or two reviewing quality
issues and solutions as a group and info sharing from plant to plant as
part of their commitment to continuous improvement yadda yadda.
So people are coming in and Steve's getting ready when he gets a call
from his assistant that she has (we'll call him) Paul on the line.
"What's up Paul? We're about to get underway here."
"I can't make it, Steve. I've had an accident."
"Oh no. Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I think I'll be fine once I'm over it."
"Where are you? Can we send somebody? Do you need us to call anyone?"
"No, it's OK. My wife is coming to get me."
"What about your car? Are the cops there yet?"
"Oh - no, it's not that. I didn't have a car accident."
Now this is a major manufacturer, remember, so now Steve is concerned
that there's been a job related injury.
"Who's the safety person there? Are they on scene? Are you going to be
alright?"
"It's OK. I'm going to be fine. My wife is coming and I'll get things taken
care of and I'll be back to work this afternoon."
"That's great, and I'm glad it's not serious, Paul, but you can't just leave -
we have to take care of this properly and make sure you're going to be
alright."
"It's really not that kind of accident, Steve."
"Huh? What happened then, Paul?"
"Well, I hadn't been feeling well this morning, and you know how far from
anything else my office is here. I, uh, felt sick and kind of had an
accident trying to make it to the washrooms is all. I, uh, sort of shit my
pants..."
"OK, Paul. Everybody is here for the meeting, so I'm going to take you off
speaker phone now..."

See this is why I inevitably refuse to drink almost anything before heading for such experiences. I just hate it if you're in a movie theatre, a good movie, so you don't want to pop out even for a second, but the bladder pressure is building up, so that instead of focusing on the movie, you're basically focusing on keeping it in, and secretly wondering when the movie will end (hoping, wishing, praying for it to be soon (and secretly cursing yourself for wanting that when things are so good)).
