Now that Michael Jackson’s death has been ruled a homicide, it looks like the shit is about to officially hit the fan for Dr. Conrad Murray. Even if by some stretch of the imagination he avoids going to prison, this man will never get another patient again. He could take a job at a free clinic, and bums will be like “Aw HELL no! That’s that nigga that killed Michael Jackson! He murdered the King of Pop! What you think he’ gon do to MY black ass?!”
For real, I don’t want to go too deep with this, for as you can see, I still have my Michael Jackson tribute up in the header section. I have a more pressing question to ask right now:
Where did the saying “The shit hit the fan” come from?
Seriously, was there some nasty motherf*cker with no air conditioning who got really bored one day, and decided to fling poo at an oscillating fan? I’m sure if anyone else was there when it happened, they forcibly removed this fecal tossing fellow from the building and probably kicked him down some steps for good measure. That would explain why people say “The shit’s about to hit the fan” when they know they are about to be in trouble.
I really need to find out, so if any of you knows where the saying came from, please let me know. Hell, even if you just want to make up your own theory, feel free to do that in the comments section as well.
3rd paragraph made my day lmao
I wasn’t expecting this entry to go in this direction but I’m glad it did. Hilarious!
What in the hell?
LMAOOOOO I f*cking hate you for this! LMAO
My theory is…its when everything is gonna come out in the open. I was thinking more of there is a pile of shit and it is sat in front of a fan, so now everyone can smell it, hence, therefore, everyone knows. I like your idea of just flinging it at the fan though…lol
I hate you…
My coworkers just looked up at me in disbelief when I burped out loud to cover up laughing…WITF are you on? Even if I knew how the expression came along, it is only because I type fast as hell, that I am even bothering to reply…
We have to give the man his due: Michael Jackson was – beyond a shadow of a doubt – a great artist whose recorded legacy will endure for decades, maybe even a century or more. But an examination of his life is riddled with questions of all that might have been; all that should have been. It is more than likely that this was a severely mentally ill human being who never sought the treatment he so desperately needed; surrounded by fawning sycophants who enabled his sickness by constantly reassuring him that he could do no wrong. As John Lennon once said in the same context about Elvis Presley, another victim of the excesses of fame: “It’s always the courtiers that kill the king”.
The sad, inescapable truth is that for reasons we will probably never be able to fully understand, his talent and his career were ultimately wasted. Like Charlie Parker, Montgomery Clift, Judy Garland and Lenny Bruce before him, his brilliance as an artist would be overshadowed by severe, psychological torment and an unexplainable desire for self-destruction. Therein lies the real, unspeakable tragedy of Michael Jackson.

The toilet in the 1970′s space station “Skylab” had a suction fan and a safety belt to strap yourself down with in zero gravity.
Zero gravity would cause the feces to float all over the place disastrously so there was airflow to suck the feces into a bag, a bit like a vacuum cleaner does. Now, if the bag broke somehow, then the “Shit hit the fan!!”
Aww man Carlton beat me to it. I was going to look up the origins of the term “shit hitting the fan”
