Almost like the U.S. company selling a toilet fright. The photo showed
some kind of fanged monster...lift the lid and it pops up at you. The
ad copy writer thought it was hilarious. I thought it was silly. I have
no idea what might happen to some jittery guy, halfway around the world
on Old Milwaukee, who lifted the seat and had that thing jump out at
him, especially if the john light was dim.

JOAT, I'm not sure what your pointing at here...
Let's see, George Cross toilet seat, the Funwaves Toilet Seat in
Aquarium Blue, or the Union Jack Toilet Seat.
Ad copy proclaims, "Be the envy of your friends. Tough MDF toilet seat
that will brighten any bathroom and show your colours!"
If my friends are impressed by this, I need new friends...
None of these are a heated, padded, yellow toilet seat with a magazine
rack and hemorrhoid pads, however.

Darned Brit's, think they can get away with selling anything...
I know that cold winters sure make a heated seat sound like a peachy
idea. If I could figure out how to get an electrically heated seat
through the UL listing process, I'd market one myself.
But you know how embarrassed the guy with the toilet seat glued to his
arse felt? Imagine being found electrocuted on the floor, pants
around your ankles, with a copy of FWW lying next to you opened to the
Readers Gallery.

If I ever have the need to sit on a toilet not in my home, I make
damn sure to wipe the seat thoroughly, and use a paper seat protector if
available, before I sit down. I suspect most everyone does the same.
If some guy actually was glued down, sounds to me more like he did it
himself, so he could sue.

Hey, I actually looked at this thing. It's not available without all
the other accessories. And the last thing I want is a toilet seat
that pisses back at me...
And I sure hope they ship in an unmarked brown wrapper.
Who wants to get a big package from "Clean Butt"?

I've got a nice padded one, but it's still darned cold at first.
Shock factor and all... Plus, my arse is a wuss.

I don't disagree. It was SO stupid, I was researching it before I
posted the story. Dave beat me to it... I guess this means they'll
be installing video cameras in the head now.

LOL
Do crabs come in herds?
A Gaggle? Litter? Flock? Bevy? Buttload?
I vote for the latter.

This points to the Union Jack decorator toilet seat. Not my cup of tea, nor is the Home Depot
"Stick to It" decorator seat. I really did like the Ultrasonic Cat Scarer they had advertized
though.

I guess that one thing you don't have to worry about up there in the
GWN is splash from the bucket. Everything is frozen solid before it
hits!
As for gloves, here ya go:

These gloves are FWW and LVT WW/GRDN/HDW-catalog tested!

You'd be surprised how quickly the vinyl on a padded seat warms up.
I've been using them for decades now and am always shocked from the
cold when using a non-padded seat elsewhere. Distributed cost is $5
per year and it's WELL worth it.

Can you imagine how someone could miss a trail of glue on the seat?
It means:
A- He didn't use a paper seat cover.
B- He didn't use TP as a cover.
C- He didn't wipe off the filthy seat before sitting on it.
and
D- He didn't even LOOK at the seat before sitting down.
IMHO, the guy deserves a herd of crabs to go with his glue.
Methinks it was a setup, though, and he probably had a lawyer
lined up before he even visited the store.
>"Hey Dave, Got another of them furniture perverts over here..."

Yes, Good Idea. Haven't seen a Styrofoam seat lately, but I don't
shop for seats all that often - I'm usually hanging around the tool
department. It's the initial shock factor that gets you. And I
imagine that in the great white north, you stand a good chance of
ending up stuck to the seat if the least bit of moisture is present...
for a while anyway... <g>

You can avoid all that with a styrofoam seat. Keeps your arse warm
down to 40 below. Found in all the finest Yukon and Alaska outhouses.
But you only want to pull your pants and longjohns down so far, and
it's hard to turn the FWW pages with gloves on.
