unless someone can point me to to a classification where a roundworm has an enlarged body at one end and a long skinny tail. below are several pics with descriptions.
i made this sketch of a fresh specimen. everyone seems to ignore it like it is fantasy. i did not dream this up. i do not sit around fantasizing that what is inside me is some strange cosmic worm that could be the villain in a bad hollywood blockbuster or comic book. it is real. it is inside me. and it needs to die.
all the following pics show the worms that i have passed bearing the same two characteristics that make identification difficult. namely, a 2-4" fluke-like body with a long, stringy tail. sometimes the tail is as long as 24".
i passed this next pic this morning. there was more to the tail but it broke apart in the toilet. look at my sketch, then look at this picture. if it makes you dizzy, take a seat and then look at them again.
here's the same worm, but a little more wet and flipped over.
here's another one i passed this morning. the tail broke apart when i took it out of the toilet. it also seems much thicker than it really is. that's because it is bunched up. but if i were to stretch it, it would break into more pieces.
here's one my wife passed. notice it has the same two features, an enlarged body and then a tail. the body/head of this worm was broken in two by the skewer sticks.
this one is blurry because cameras don't work in toilet bowls so well, at least not the kind i own. however, it's easy to make out the outline of a worm bearing the same characteristics of the others. however, the head/body in this one has disintegrated and escaped the casing. but the casing is large on that one end.
these next two are actually one worm, broken apart into 2 pieces. again, you can see in the picture with the smaller segment, a tendency of it to enlarge at one end. this is a good representation of how thin the tail segments really are.
here again is the controversial picture i posted earlier. look at it if you dare. but be forewarned, it also bears an enlarged segment on its right end. perhaps to the layman, or someone who doesn't dabble in "observation," it can be written off quickly as a roundworm. but i assure you, it is the shriveled up carcass of the cosmic space worm in my sketch. sniff, sniff, do i smell an oscar? tremors 3 and 4?
