Dung Beetle?

Jadey has taken up the word dung in place of crap. I actually think it sounds much less harsh, but everytime she says it I want to follow it up with beetle.

Now I wouldn't be surprised if we found one of those beetles in these parts today. While the dung is not present, the smell is. I guess you could say it's a science experiment gone wrong, or a bad soup. You see less then a month ago some of the kids filled up the water cooler with grass, and apparently some dirt. I'm sure they stirred it up a bit, maybe added a few other spices, some pine needles. After a few rain storms I realized I had better clean it out. So I dumped it out. And threw out the water cooler.
Guess what they really invented?
Homemade dung.
For real.
I smells worse then most cattle ranches and is reeking out into the neighborhood.
The flies are coming.
It is so bad that my stomach lurches when I walk outside.
I have spread it out in hopes of it drying out and stopping it's stinking process...I know there is a real scientific word for that.
If this is what mulch smells like count me out.
