I hear the broccoli family is the worse. Great if you want to live forever but not so great when you really want to be savored.

... Asparagus... >_<

Don't know how it relates to broccoli, but it's nasty. Brussel sprouts too. Beef jerky is surely a plant, and surely must never be eaten prior to the tasting of Seamen. Is too salty, not sweet enough. Can't cut the bitter with salt.

Well, that's my problem. I have no idea what the figurative meaning of "having the shits" is.

It's not... obvious? 0.o

A friend you're having the shits with, is a friend who is annoying you, but who you still brand a friend... having the shits with The Guess Who means you're not enjoying them (right now), even if you usually like them.

Alternately, if someone says it excitedly (I'm having the shits with this game!), it can be having a great time. That's essentially the crux of a figurative 'having the shits': a qualifier to the the experience. Aractus seemed to leave it negative (he's having the shits with his friends, and is therefore not hanging out with them happily right now).

Anyway... there is some possibility that it's specific to aussies and therefore a complete and utter departure of anything which might be expected of English, but I'd say it was something along these lines.

It's the new mother nature taking over!
