    unfortunately, this can also lead to tasteless ads being displayed, such as ads for low airfares being displayed during discussions of plane hijackings and sept. 11th...






    oh! ha ha, wow, didn't know that!

    Thanks for the article, It was very interesting.



    now that I think back to my stay in Japan, things start to make sense...



    very interesting culture indeed, I suggest you all go to japan for vacation or something.



    They also seem to hide their own identities, cause most people you meet and talk to seem to act the same.

    Hi Moogs -



    No way! I can't believe this thread! Who would believe this conversation is actually taking place??!!



    And I see under your post that 'eating feces' is addressed. hahahaha And to think I spent ten months on the history board, when I could have been here, engaging in such lively, spirited, informative discussion about various human 'crevices' and their care and maintenance. hehe.

    BTW, as much as I enjoy discussing the merits of dog poop pH, this thread started down the road to No Good hours ago.







    yes, but this may be the FASTEST we have gotten this many posts without a huge future hardware rumor leak or large expo approaching... what does that say about our community?



    ah. never mind.

    the antibacterial is key... most dish soaps/body soaps for unknown reasons are antibacterial... it is a trend which stikes to the heart of the matter, how much do you trust scott paper?

    I just spit coca cola all over my keyboard. You need a warning in front of something like that.

    EEEEEeeewwwwwwwwwwww.




    So what do you do when you have to take a shit in a public toilet or at work? Do you have a portable bidet like a squirt bottle or something?

    This is the longest thread that I've read the entirety of in a while. I'm not sure what that means.



    I spent last semester in Europe. The only place I specifically remember encoutering bidets was in Italy. I knew what their basic purpose was, but, lacking a specific knowledge of exactly how one went about using one, I avoided trying them out.



    Oh, and Carol, welcome to our twisted world.

    Reminds me of Crocodile Dundee's reaction to a bidet in a NYC Holiday Inn. If I hadn't seen that movie I might do the same thing! I mean really.

    it's all about timing. for example, i take a shower at nights because i have to be up early for college and want to wait til the last possible minute to get up. therefore, i "shit" (as you so eloquently put it) before my shower. so...the answer to your question usually is yes.



    Exactly! I am particular about the order of things in this respect. Makes me feel like George Costanza about the whole bathroom thing. edit: Costanza is so peculiar about bathrooms, he knows the best public one in every building in NYC apparently, didn't use it once in India on that episode that went backwards, and put a phone and a refrigerator in to the handicapped one at one of his jobs. Now that's strange bathroom habits!



    Hi Carol, welcome....I see you have a PowerBook G4 12" too...we're so compatible, any chance you think?

    Hi Sledgehammer -



    There was a bidet in my hotel room bathroom in Argentina. I didn't wash my socks in it (haha) because it was winter, nothing dried overnight, and I was traveling the next day.



    I think I also remember seeing one in my hotel bathroom in Puerto Vallarta. I imagine that a lot of the finer establishments around the world probably have bidets, but that's just a guess.



    Thanks for the welcome. I think your twisted world is a lot of fun!

    Hi Aquatic -



    I must have missed that episode of Seinfeld. Does George do things in a particular and unvarying order, apparently?



    And I remember Crocodile in the bathroom, but can't remember what he did with the bidet.....Don't tell me he washed his socks??? hehe. Yeah, I think he did, actually!



    Don't you just love your Powerbook? Everything about it is of such high quality...so perfect, so lovely. I honestly think it's a work of art. And yes, I guess we just might be compatible. (Do you scuba dive, by any chance? I ask because of your name.)

    Sometimes when you're lucky, you get a bidet effect from the toilet water if you get a nice splash. When that happens, I just skip wiping all together. It's clean.
