...do be do be doooo....what?...you think you're FrankSinatra?.....I gotta go.....so, go, already......Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home....I'll fly you away!...COME HERE!........you don't understand.........I GOTTA GO!... outhouse out·house [ówt hòwss]n 1. outbuilding: a small building situated near the main building on a property 2. outdoor toilet: an outdoor toilet consisting of a small building that encloses a seat with a hole in it built over a pit Today, we're gonna take a look at Americana, specifically the OUTHOUSE! We've all seen them; I would venture to guess that quite a few of us HAVE used them. For us guys, it's probably not a problem; for the Galz,...well, THEY ARE GIRLZ! ( Yeah, I know: this is a crappy subject, but I haven't taken my meds for a few daze....)
Here's one we have here at work:
This one's in Ma's back-yard:
I think these are in Uncleshag's back-yard:
Here's one for Her Hindness, Ms Feather:
There's a remarkable new building in a federal park in Pennsylvania: a two-hole outhouse, without running water, that cost the National Park Service at least $333,000. It's nestled amid evergreens, with a gabled slate roof, cottage-style porches, and a handsomely tapered cobblestone masonry foundation in the manner of Frank Lloyd Wright. A medley of wildflowers hides any sign of new construction. Inside each spacious restroom, a green horizontal stripe at baseboard level plays off the green of hemlocks visible through discreetly placed picture windows. The place smells as sweet as the woods. Clearly, this is an outhouse worthy of Ms. Feather! And it should be. More than a dozen Park Service designers, architects and engineers had a hand in it by the time the privy opened in May 1996. They took two years. This one has stained glass windows! Must be in a high class neighborhood somewhere...
HIS & HERS???
A few of the Canteen Galz????
All this, & perhaps MORE than you may want to know today at Camp RUN-A-MUK!
Where the Plan Of the Day is: Mirth...Merriment...and FUN!
Toilet paper is stored inside a coffee can with a little rice in the bottom as a desiccant. This keeps the paper from getting damp and soggy if it rains for several days. If you got the time... Jump right in!
Please be aware that no outhouses were tipped over or TP'd in the construction of today's Camp ....hey.....want ya want?....whisper.....whisper....if we do, we'll get in trouble.....whisper......whisper....ok, we'll do it....quick...tomkow's not looking...hurrry...quick!...he's coming back....snicker...giggle...hurry! post it now!...okay, here goes....

Thanks for today's thread Bro!
Gairdner could have become as well-known as his fellow students. But when he decided to become a missionary, he wrote to his sister, "I have found ambition dreadfully difficult to cope with. It seems so natural, especially with one's upbringing and education, to look forward to making a mark and a name, and so awfully hard to resign oneself to living and dying tucked away in some corner." We probably will not be called upon to make that kind of sacrifice. But are we willing to serve our Savior in radical obedience? To serve Him faithfully we must put aside our own interests, as Paul did: "God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Galatians 6:14). We don't need to be famous. But we do need to be faithful wherever God calls us. —Vernon Grounds
Trusting, serving, every day; Just one glimpse of Him in glory Will the toils of life repay. —Hewitt The world rewards quick success; God rewards long-term faithfulness.

In the late 19th century, a former student of Oxford University became the Lord Chancellor of England. One of his classmates became Britain's Foreign Secretary. A third gained an international reputation as an author. A fourth, Temple Gairdner, was perhaps the most gifted of his classmates but did not achieve fame and influence. Why? He accepted Jesus as his Savior and lived as a missionary in obscure and dangerous places.
