Were they screaming because they suddenly found out the hard way that it was actually a bidet?

Wow, I want a job as a toilet model, too!
Posted by: Tamara | February 17, 2005 at 05:49 AM
Carmen Electra strikes me as the type that would $h1t into a hatbox and then squeal with delight.
I'm willing to bet that she'd then carry the hatbox around with her so she could show it off to all of her friends, like Dennis Rodman.
Posted by: SteveB | February 17, 2005 at 05:50 AM
See, it's times like that when you wish you could airdrop in a couple dozen chili-eating contestants to go in and really put those toilets thru their paces.
You'd still get patrons squeeling, it just might not be with delight.
As for Sequoyah County, I think it would be hilarious if they installed one of those old "loop towel" thingies like you still see at truck stops. You know, where this dirty white cloth comes out the front and is fed back up the back, and you're supposed to believe it gets changed or washed occasionally?
Put one of those in the bathroom stalls, and then put in a hidden camera. Broadcast it as Reality Wiping.
Personally, that's when I'd sacrifice a sock.

Heard on the radio this morning on the way to work:
Cher is coming here in the Spring on her "Farewell, Can't say Good-bye, Tour". Opening act: The Village People.
Bet you're all green with envy.

“Our sponsorship allows us to align ourselves even more closely with the fashion industry (by catching their poop?) and an audience with a keen interest in creating spectacular design statements"
are we so jaded that celebrities taking a dump is "creating a spectacular design statement"?

I wonder what type of toilet paper they use in the Purist Hatbox? Tulle or maybe chiffon?
Posted by: Shortty | February 17, 2005 at 06:19 AM
Do electric toilets scare anyone else? I mean, one short circuit and you're taking a ride on the Sizzlin' Sally?
And for those of us who have occassional issues with hitting the center of the target? Do we get 'lit up' if we pee on the wrong wire?

WC - no doubt you'd get "lit up".
It gets reported as a "squeal of delight", though.
Posted by: jamester | February 17, 2005 at 06:26 AM
Could it be that there were squeals of delight because of a little electric shock?
Posted by: Shortty | February 17, 2005 at 06:26 AM
and of course, purist hatbox is a great nfarb ... i would like to know how the stupid thing works, or is it just a round version of our old familar friend.

So, if I understand you correctly, Tamara, you're saying it's wrong that, when I visit my friends who have babies, and their is someone in the bathroom, I go ahead and dump in their hamper?
Because, I think that's silly. It's full of yuck anyway.
Posted by: Christobol | February 17, 2005 at 06:44 AM
Tamara- I was thinking it looks just like a hamper too.
Warning: Not intended for households with small children.
Can you imagine?
Mom: Sally! Why did you put the clothes in the toliet.
Sally: I thought it was the laundry hamper.

Posted by: opiesgirl | February 17, 2005 at 07:01 AM
Christobol,
Miss Manners says it is never okay to dump in a friend's hamper.
If you are visiting American friends who have babies, they will surely have plenty of disposable diapers on-hand. Just tape 6 or 7 of them together till your fanny feels adequately covered, and by the time you have your contraption McGyver'd just the way you like it, whomever was in the restroom will have come out--mainly to see what all the fuss is about.
Anyway, this is a much better solution than defiling the hamper, as it provides the added benefit of scaring away those fawning bloglettes your wife is growing wary of.

"a quiet .2-horsepower electric pump..."
Personally, I don't believe a .2hp is all we can get out of that electric motor. Perhaps going to 230V motor we can increase the power. Although, I think a nice 454ci, 4-bolt main, chevy with dual 1000 cfm Holly carburators on a polished high-rise intake, and Isky low duration, high lift cam,...hey look, something shiney...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Posted by: igloo | February 17, 2005 at 07:09 AM
Ok, just to make sure I'm up to speed, Tamara.
Now it's not sexy to walk around naked with six or seven disposable diapers taped to my ass?
I really need to get some tv. Has "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" covered this?
Speaking of TV, why hasn't Dave posted on Idol yet? I actually saw some of it in a hotel last night. Is it just me, or is the theme of this season: Watching People Cry As Their Dreams Are Flushed Down An Uncool and Untrendy Toilet?
Posted by: Christobol | February 17, 2005 at 07:13 AM
Tamara, taping six or seven babies to Christobols fanny is going to do a lot more than scare the bloglettes.

The Sequoyah county article was by Terry Groover.
Wasn't former U. of Miami football player Najeh(sp?,but misspelling his name will be the least of my problems if he reads this blog, or has someone read it to him) Davenport, now with the Packers, once arrested for 'defiling' someone's hamper?
Posted by: insomniac | February 17, 2005 at 07:17 AM
Christobool ... why sacrifice a sock? Use your underwear ... it's probably already ruined from the skid marks already incurred from that toot you let slip that then caused you to panic and run in search of a bathroom in the first place ... so, just pull 'em off ... wad 'em up ... take care of business and flush. Then run ... because wadded up undies don't usually flush all that well and you'll be looking at an overflowing dirty toilet in no time ...

Doug, it can't be Paris Hilton's birthday today. Paris Hilton does not have birthdays. This is one reason she can expect to have that perfect light brown porcelain look on her face for at least the next twenty years.
'That perfect light brown porcelain look' WBAG promotional bullet item for a fashion toilet catalog. God knows, if Betsey Johnson and Carmen Electra endorse something, I'm there and all over it in a heartbeat.
Posted by: D'Artagnan | February 17, 2005 at 07:19 AM
WC: No, I meant he could tape his American friends to his tush. Sorry I wasn't more clear.
Posted by: Tamara | February 17, 2005 at 07:19 AM
Igloo, I can't help but think of the "It's a Hemi" dudes sitting on top of the souped-up john. They might finally beat that Dodge Ram. Shweeeet....

“We have a major problem,” said Tabor.
Now there is an understatement!
This tragedy in Arkansas, vividly illustrates how interconnected the world is. China and Arkansas have toilet paper issues and Australia has a toilet paper resolution.
There is where the UN should step in to help wipe out these shortages.

It sounds so practical, now.

Tamara - Six or seven Americans or American Idols strapped to the old bohonkus?
"The competition ends for you tonight"
"But, I want it so bad... I'll do anything Simon!"
"We are out of toilet paper"
"You want to strap me to your ass?"
"Hopefully you're a better diaper than you are a singer"
"But you already have six contestants strapped to your ass"
"I could use seven"

"Hey! Anybody seen Carmen. She's due on stage in fifteen."
"She told me she needed to potty."
"Chris on a crutch man. Did you tell her to stand before flushing?"
"No, why?"
"Ever since we installed that 440 Hemi to replace the puny .2hp electric pump, we've lost some people."
"Damn, we shoulda posted a sign or something."
"Good idea. But let's wait until after the Cher 'On Ad Infinitum' tour passes through next week. We may get lucky!"
"Dude!"

Betsey Johnson is a designer of women's clothes and is therefore entitled to have an extra "e" in her name!

Betsey Johnson is a WEIRD designer of women's clothes, so I'm not sure her endorsement is a positive thing.
Anyway, at 1.6 gallons of water, I do think that qualifies it as a low-flow toilet.
