Porcelain: The Smallest Room in the House

[tmcg]

Max Reger once wrote to a critic, "I am sitting in the smallest room in the house. Your review is before me. Soon it will be behind me." My music teacher read us that in class somewhere between seventh and tenth grades. It took me a minute to get it, at the time. I still like it.

There is nothing like a brand-new toilet seat, clean and white.

Toilet flush assemblages are not only sentient, they are evil.

Cats who get high on Pine-Sol fumes are weird.

Why should men be chastised for leaving the seat up? Why shouldn't women be chastised for leaving the seat down?

Grandpa's Soaps are wonderful. I just got a big sampler order, and so far I'm loving every one.

In this weather, of the taking of many showers there is no end.

I believe men got chastised for leaving the seat up because for as long as there were flushing toilets, it was almost solely the wives who cleaned them.

But you're right. It's weird.

Ah, so it was their aim that was being criticized! That's different. *g*

Indeed it was. You mean you didn't know that? :)

I didn't! I was thinking it was the risk of a midnight dunking--what Speedo said. Which always made me think that the complainants were careless and deserved any dunking they got.

Never sit on anything you haven't at least glanced at first. *g,d,r*

And make sure the stick is at least greased.

I always thought the reason they were criticized was because if you go to sit down and the seat is up, you sit in the water *g*.

"Cats who get high on Pine-Sol fumes are weird."

This sentence is 200% longer than necessary.

But to get to the heart and gist (and butt?) of this post -- congratulations on the new toilet seat, Ti!
