Not always -- it also gives you time to be overwrought and really flip 
out.  And your hardcore copromancer is likely to develop piles, ulcerative 
colitis and all sorts of other wonderful maladies, which would make it a 
little harder to chill out and meditate.

A friend of mine (jokingly) suggested something like this school years ago, 
when we were talking about variant paradigms of magic use in D&D.  I 
couldn't help but think of the scene in "The Fisher King" when Parry talks 
about the first time the fairies appeared -- he was "having one of those 
really mystical, transcendental bowel motions" when *POP* they were 
suddenly there.  Perhaps this could form the basis of a ritual, maybe even 
a minor blast?

Last night, I dreamt that I'd pinned Bruce Willis beneath an unpainted 
section of picket fence in his front yard, and that I beat him to death 
with a copy of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.  I awoke with blood on my 
face.  Note to self: never eat penne before bedtime again.
