Being gut free (spoilerish?)
Having become acquainted with some people who are gut free, I now know that if you lose your rectum and asshole, you will end up with a stoma and a colostomy bag. A stoma is a small opening on your abdomen where they terminate the end of the gut at a small opening in the skin. A plastic bag plugs in there, and liquid form poo just goes directly in there every time you eat. If they just hooked up your guts where your asshole used to be, you would be completely incontinent and just have diarrhea constantly, because there would be no muscle there to act like a valve to stop the poop from coming out. Then you can also suffer from "short gut syndrome" where you do not absorb enough nutrients, and possibly do not re-absorb enough bile either. In that case, you may need supplementary Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) which is a nutrient-rich liquid typically injected through a PICC line around the collarbone area, as they sometimes do with people who have eating disorders.
This is a really good idea.
One of my buddies had several ruptured colon polyps a few years back that turned gangrenous. As if that weren't discusting enough, he also had to get a colostomy bag after his surgery. We started calling him "C-Bag" like he was a rapper. It was pretty funny considering the situation. We also used to joke about getting hookers to fellate his stoma.
Interesting sidenote: the Dr. who treated my buddy said that he had never seen anything so advanced in a man in his late twenties. He was like, "Seriously. This is the kind of thing I diagnose in sixty and seventy year old men." (My buddy is pretty much the poster-boy for an unfit lifestyle. He makes me look positively healthy!)

It's in reference to a short story by CP called Guts. You can read it on this site.
I've been looking for some information and I found out that living with a 6 inches colon is impossible. I've been told that you just don't have enough issue to absorb nutrients and water, but maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, it was an awesome short story and that's enough for me.

And opening that bag is the absolute worst smell in the world, or so I'm told.
My former boss' dad had a colon whatevertomy, an has a colon whatevertomy bag, and he will pop the cap on it when he wants to really piss people off. He uses it sparingly, but if you cross him, watch out.
