And yay to get a bulletin that's not about Paris or Twitney!

Imported Scottish TP? The weirdness magnet is projecting again.

She's doing research for her new reality show - "Sex and the shitty"????
ok..I got nuttin'

Scottish tp? Isn't that an oxymoron? Or another name for the Sears catalog?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 12, 2007 at 12:02 PM
Come on guys, Sarah is just trying to show some class and refinement. Scottish TP is the correct product to use after dining on fine scottish cuisine (McDonalds).
Posted by: random thunking | August 12, 2007 at 12:11 PM
I'm guessing that's the last time she orders from them.

Hmmm... At first read, I thought "Ker-Plunk" was the name of a toilet paper line.

Reminds of Rocky Horror:
GREAT SCOTT!!

*snork* @ Siouxie. I remember... or at least I think I do.

... and this is "news" in Malaysia, along with the travails of Lohan, Foster, and Theron. Above news on Musharraf, Fatah, et al. Oy...
Posted by: Richard the Weasel-Hearted | August 12, 2007 at 01:05 PM
Oh, and, why's she buying Twister from a Scottish company? Last I checked, it was still made (well, ok, owned and marketed by) a US company, and available from Amazon.com. Maybe the Scottish version uses different colours?
Posted by: Richard the Weasel-Hearted | August 12, 2007 at 01:12 PM
Richard, I'm guessing the Scottish version involves much drinkage. See if you can twist like a pretzel after a few shots of whiskey ;-P
Posted by: Siouxie | August 12, 2007 at 01:16 PM
Maybe she's just gonna "TP" Kim Catrall's house with it.
Posted by: Lairbo | August 12, 2007 at 01:21 PM
Lairbo, I read they're all ON for the movie version, including "Big".
Posted by: Siouxie | August 12, 2007 at 01:28 PM
The twisting probably gets easier, I should think. The not falling down part, on the other hand...

TV Advert:
[Burly Scot in Kilt] "Strong enough for the haggis"
[Sarah Jessica Parker, sporting a tam 'o shanter] "But I like it, too!"
Posted by: Lairbo | August 12, 2007 at 01:51 PM
Maybe she got musical Twister a la Bagpipes.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 12, 2007 at 02:10 PM
Now I want some too.
Posted by: Eleanor | August 12, 2007 at 02:30 PM
Not sure why this is such a big deal. Perhaps the 'fear of flushing' article?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 12, 2007 at 02:38 PM
"he was not convinced that the order was placed by the actress until he saw that the email address mentioned her production company.
...
The other thing that convinced me it was Sarah was her email address mentioned her production company," he said."
And the third thing that convinced him was?
Posted by: pogo | August 12, 2007 at 02:52 PM
El - you want haggis? Or toilet paper...?
Posted by: DeskDiva | August 12, 2007 at 02:58 PM
I can see why she would like the Scottish t.p. It's gotta be extra soft. If you ate haggis every day you would spend a great deal of time in the loo I would imagine.
Posted by: Dr.Rickenstien | August 12, 2007 at 02:58 PM
Lairbo - where's the link/picture of the kilted Scotsman?

Posted by: daisymae | August 12, 2007 at 03:00 PM
Wouldn't kilt-wearers be tough down below? Maybe we should ask Scot, since he's named after tp and that makes him an expert.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 12, 2007 at 03:01 PM
Hey, Rick!!! How's life today!
Posted by: DeskDiva | August 12, 2007 at 03:10 PM
I just saw the coolest Web presentation on the 60s. If anyone grew up during that era, you might be interested. You might be interested even if you didn't grow up during that era....

I wonder what their secret toilet paper ingredient is? I need to kno---mmmm beer.
Posted by: Bethie | August 12, 2007 at 03:51 PM
beer....shiny!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 12, 2007 at 04:15 PM
My heinie is shiny from scotty in the loo
And beer turns clear in the loo too
Posted by: random thunking | August 12, 2007 at 04:48 PM
Oh, you take the high road and I'll take the loo road,
And I'll have the Scotsman before ye,
For me and my true love will ne'er meet again,
On the bonny bonny banks of Loch Loo, man.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 12, 2007 at 04:53 PM
Great website, DD! Of course, 'The 40-year-old Virgin' has permanently imprinted in my mind as the 'Age of Aquarius' and I think of it every time I hear that song.
Posted by: diverdowndoc | August 12, 2007 at 04:59 PM
My bootie lies over the toilet
My bootie lies over the loo
And when I must reach for the TP
It's Scottish every time I poo
Annie, we can take this on the road...
Posted by: Siouxie | August 12, 2007 at 05:25 PM
No matter which brand of paper you use, check before you flush . . .
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | August 12, 2007 at 05:26 PM
Not speaking from experience , but if I was wealthy enough to have "stuff" imported from Europe I don't think toilet paper would be at the top of my list.
Just sayin'
Or maybe she already imports everything else and this was the final domestic product in her house.
Posted by: pete | August 12, 2007 at 05:31 PM
The article fails to mention which tp Sally Jesse Raphael uses? I think SJP ordered the tissue for her hubby, Mr. Wipple. Overall, I'm dissapointed since reading the article. I expected an offering of some SJP ABC gum on EBAY.
Posted by: lilrascal | August 12, 2007 at 07:05 PM
I think we all be missing the point here. What if the Scots have invented a 1,000 count toilet paper. If that's true, we need to invade Scotland next. Or at the very least send Jack Bauer to retrieve the secret plans for it. Either way, this toilet paper must be obtained at any cost.
Posted by: Doc Rick | August 12, 2007 at 07:46 PM
*editorial note: should have said " a 1,000 thread count toilet paper".
Posted by: Doc Rick | August 12, 2007 at 07:48 PM
*another editorial note: should have said "we are all missing the point". Good Lord, apparently I can't spell or construct good sentences tonight.
Posted by: Doc Rick | August 12, 2007 at 07:52 PM
DR, we be gettin' you, mang....
Posted by: CJrun | August 12, 2007 at 08:06 PM
Thanks CJ. I really should preview this stuff before posting. I blame it on having to watch an hour of a WNBA game at work today. Bad hoops pollutes absolutely.
Posted by: Doc Rick | August 12, 2007 at 08:12 PM
MKJ, THANKS!!! All is now right with the world.
Posted by: slyeyes | August 12, 2007 at 08:15 PM
You gonna pull up your IM or leave me hangin' again, Doc? ;-)
Posted by: DeskDiva | August 12, 2007 at 08:15 PM
*snork* @ sly - it's amazing how quickly we get used/re-used to some things, ain't it? :-)
Rick - have a beer. Clearly you need one. Or 4.
Posted by: DeskDiva | August 12, 2007 at 08:17 PM
Doc Rick - this WNBA fan's team is now 4-1. So booger. ;P
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | August 12, 2007 at 08:17 PM
slyzie; we aims to please . . .

OT
I've been cleaning out my garage this weekend and, by happy circumstance, I ran across a copy of Dave's column that I mentioned on the last thread where a couple of us were talking about our favorites. The column was titled "Macho Men Can't Avoid Stupidity" and has such notable quotes as: "Norm, you have the brains of an Odor Eater." and "Every male dog firmly believes that if he makes weewee in enough places, he will be declared Dominant Male Dog of the Entire Earth."
/OT
Posted by: ScottMGS | August 12, 2007 at 08:23 PM
Y'know, Scott - no matter how old Dave's material is, it just seems as fresh as a still-steaming pile of poo. ;-) I love it.
Posted by: DeskDiva | August 12, 2007 at 08:28 PM
;-) You are very correct, Diva! The imagery is, um, daunting, though.
Posted by: ScottMGS | August 12, 2007 at 08:30 PM
I have a good eye for that. :-)
Posted by: DeskDiva | August 12, 2007 at 08:31 PM
Shame, Doc - blaming women for your typos. When you do that, the terrorists win. Somebody hunt him down - track him via his IM/Lojacky mahoozit.
I still think the Malaysians mistook 'Scott'(tm thingy) tp for 'Scottish' tp.

Once again, Diva, you have my upmost admiration - this time with the link to the "60's"...we just purchased the "Moments To Remember" cd package (4 cd's, each excellent) from PBS ($150, but it contributes to PBS, and makes us a member). It's music from the '50's and '60's. My littlest female grandchildren came over and while it was on(ages 2 and 3), they started dancing. A couple days later, they came over with their Disney Princess dresses, and wanted me to put "that music" on again. Priceless. Perhaps, I'll have a part in making that music become popular again.
Posted by: SandyEgo | August 12, 2007 at 09:39 PM
Psst, DD: Not that it's anything like the thrill it is here, but you've been "posted" on my blog. Great discovery you made there.
Need to ask a favor in return -- would you please hang a comment there with a link to the forum? One of my kids blew out all of the bookmarks I've made since I installed Firefox. Thanks in advance. (Please note that putting that link here won't do me any good, as I'm about to leave for tonight and most of tomorrow -- might not make my way back to this thread.)
Thanks again.

Hey, WD - That's a TOTAL thrill!!!
I think I know what you're asking, and I'm happy to oblige.
