#butfartman

It has taken a bit of time but I have now compiled a lot (possibly all but most likely I missed something) of the Butfartman lore that has been given to us during the 2014 and 2015 Project for Awesome Livestreams.  If any lore was discussed during Part 6 which is still unavailable, it is not listed here.

The Beginning:

Destin looked at an Australian 10 dollar note because an Australian donor gave the money he was requesting.  It was noted that there were words (later to be revealed as the poem “The Man from Snowy River” by Banjo Peterson). While scanning the words the screen showed “BUT FAR T” and enjoyment ensued.

 The Butfartman outfit of the same shirt on the top and the bottom is a modification of a suggestion by twitter user @tweetlikeatwit to raise money by wearing a shirt on your legs and pants on your arms/torso.  

Hank instead put the identical shirts he was given by Destin on the top and bottom and began waddling and saying “Beep bop bwoop boop,” the beginnings of Butfartman’s language (in 2014 it is decided that this is mostly saying “butfart” over and over, in 2015 this language was declared Butfartese and becomes much more eloquent). It was commented that Hank looked like “the awful sidekick of a banana” or a baby.  Hank insisted that he was obviously a space alien.  Soon after it was declared: neither baby nor alien, I am Butfartman!

As the night progressed, the following was revealed:

1. Butfartman is a superhero

2. Bartfutman lives in Ohio and is totally different

3. “We are all Butfartman” and “In Butfartman We Trust”

4. A children’s song was written: “Every time you fart, you fart on yourself!”

5. The first Fartmas miracle occurred at Castle Wheaton when a cloud of farts surrounded it after Anne made soup (although it is claimed that this was a fart mist and not Fartmas)

6. Fartmas celebrates the birth of Butfartman on December 14 (even though Wil claims Butfartman was actually born in Spring but we celebrate in December to co-opt the pagan fart rituals)

7. Pat Rothfuss decided we need scratch a sniff Fartmas cards 

8. A Fartmas tree is a pile of cans of beans topped with sour cream (some were immediately made by Twitter users; on camera one was made of green beans, black beans, chickpeas, and cottage cheese)

9. Fartmas Carols were written and sung (full list of carols below):

10. In our fart of farts, we are Butfartman

11. We are all but farts in the butt of Butfartman

12. Canada has Fartmas but it is in October

13. Butfartman crop dusts the entire world in one night

14. No fires are allowed on Fartmas Eve (it is too dangerous for Butfartman)

15. Fartmas is bad for global warming

16. The grinch’s fart grew three sizes that day

17. There will be a “top-notch” Fartmas perk in 2015 (did not happen)

18. Fartmas will be on the 2016 calendar (did happen)

19. “Fartmas isn’t about the carols, it’s about spending time with your loved ones.  And farting on them.” - Matthew Gaydos

During the 2014 Livestream Fartmas, butfart, and Butfartman all trended.

2015:

On the first night of the Livestream, Destin relocated “BUT FAR T” on the Australian money, Hank dressed as Butfartman using the sweatshirts YouTube sent him, a Fartmas tree was built, and people hummed “Oh Fartmas Tree”

On the second night of the Livestream, as we transitioned into Fartmas Eve the following was revealed:

1. Butfartman is much more communicative and eloquent in Butfartese this year.

2. Saying “Butfartman” three times makes Butfartman appear (but possibly not)

3. Butfartman is never nude! (aka wear Butfartman outfits over your clothing!)

4. Butfartman has a crotch hole (later named “Fartmakah”) for the following reasons: person reasons, Butfartman centipede, to hide a Butfartman’s head when scared (ButfarTim attempted this), to store things like a marsupial pouch (there are no pockets), fart storage, directing farts when traveling through the air, “Swiss Army Hole”, laying eggs

5. If you are good Butfartman brings you beans and sour cream to create future farts

6. If you are bad Butfartman brings you poop

7. Butfartman’s home planet (Butfartopia) has a higher gravity which is why the farts propel Butfartman through the air

8. Butfartman farted the first fart in space

9. There are no genders on Butfartopia

10. Butfartman does not mess with the Star Wars universe because it is too weird for Butfartman (although he is curious about the anatomy of other species like Yoda)

11. Butfartman greets others by spitting on them

12. Butfartdog was seen on Twitter but Butfartkitty is unlikely

13. Butfartman sneezes out of his butt, no one understands Butfartman

14. Butfartman crash landed in Boston

15. No one should kidnap Butfartman or the children of Butfartman to demand the P4A money as ransom

16. Wearing all white does not designate ghost Butfartman (bwop bWEEEEEp bwop bwoop!)

17. On Fartmas Eve, leave egg salad sandwiches (cut into quarters with the crusts cut off) and a large cup of pickle juice for Butfartman

18. We are all Butfartpeople and Butfartman is just a rich guy with an affinity for (but)farts

19. Butfartman is really good at math (sometimes storing a calculator in the fartmakah)

20. Butfartman does not necessarily know much about Doctor Who

21. Butfartman is a real, human-sized, person

22. None of us exist without Butfartman because we are all but farts in the butt of Butfartman

23. The Katherine does NOT find Butfartman attractive

24. Butfartman’s dating ritual involves dancing and is similar to Butfartyoga:

25. Butfartman shows approval by saying “AHHHHHHHHH” happily

We also learned more of the history of Butfartman’s kind:

Mouthfartman is a different species than Butfartman and the two species are in a civil war.  This is because the Mouthfartmen and Mouthfartwomen are confused by the Butfartman’s lack of gender and this has made the Mouthfartpeople angry.  Occasionally a Butfartman is born tending toward a gender despite not knowing the concept of gender because one has had sex with Commander Riker.

Here is a Fartmas poem written by @hanklerfishcomic​

A strange mist was spreading. It woke up the mouse. 

The egg salad sandwich and cold pickle brine

Were left on the table like fine cheese and wine.

The animals rested all snug on their beds

While visions of chili dogs danced in their heads

And puffs of foul odor left their derrieres 

That would go undetected amidst that night's airs
