Good ole Kohler, beautiful to buy but they spit in the face of the plumbing repair industry that begs for them to give a thought to their products in the repair world.

This stuff is freaking amazing.

More power! Crank up the fan, get a couple PSIs of vacuum and you'll never get off that toilet and have a extra large butt hickey.

One of the many pleasures of living in a climate where we have all windows open all year. No need for this sort of “crap”, though we do remember living in houses where it would have helped.

You know what is scary . . . compounds like indole and skatole give off the fecal smell in higher concentrations, but at lower concentrations smell like flowers.

A friend of mine’s father made one in the late 1940s but it was wired to 110v and had a sensor switch that turned it on when it was sat on.

Programmable toilet seat: if female, it always is down, if male, default is up.

As men we don’t really have to worry about toilet seats, we just pee, other people can fret over whether they want it out of the way or not.

i eat, i do more than just that!

So why is it that such odors are offensive to humans, but not to dogs and most other animals?

I don't buy the notion that we learn such a thing. It seems more primal than that, more like an ingrained trait.

[Olog-hai]

My guess is that it’s toxic to humans at the concentrations that it smells like feces. They do use skatole and indole in perfumes after all.

That’s fine, but I want a pressure switch on the lid that activates a resonant voice recording, with a non-Negro accent, from a little speaker that assures me: “I am deeply honored to receive your waste.”

[Secret Agent Man]

i think a’few japanese ones say that.

[Secret Agent Man]

you seriously take the fun out of being here. you never have a moment that you can’t try to antagonize someone.
