When one is pooping in a public bathroom, embarassed by ass noises, one waits for others to make noise to allow for loud ass explosions. Similar to Tim Robbins in "Shawshank Redemption" waiting for the thunder so his banging on the pipe would go unheard.

A fantastic film (based on a Stephen King novella) released in 1994 starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeeman and directed by Frank Darabont. The film focuses on Andy Dufresne (Robbins), a young man wrongfully sent to Shawshank prison for murder, and his 20-year friendship with a fellow life-termer named Red (Freeman).
It received eight Oscar nominations.
Known as one of the most famous "sleepers" because it made less than 30 million dollars during its original release, However, its rental profits are astronomical and it makes most "Top 100 movies" lists.
On imdb.com, it ranks as the second best movie of all time, just behind The Godfather.

Awesome movie. Many people consider it to be "cliche" following generic prison plots, but it was based on King's novel, which came out in the 80's people! Also, Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, and James Whitmore (as Brooks) were brilliant.

To slowly, and painstakingly, acquire things bit by bit in exactly the opposite way that Tim Robbins got rid of the dirt and rocks that he excavated from his cell as he dug his tunnel to freedom in the film, Shawshank Redemption.

No worries dude, I'm Reverse Shawshanking some hot sauce from all the local diners and late night cafes.

When you're flipping through channels and come across the film Shawshank Redemption, and have to stop all space and time to watch it for the umpteenth time. Because it never gets old.
Man I was flipping thru channels yesterday afternoon, right before I was due in court, and missed my court appointment due to the Shawshank Effect.
