More TP for the rest of us.

[Last Dakotan]

Don’t shake his hand!

[GoldCountryRedneck]

I, for one, wouldn't shake hands with this guy...

[hophead]

If he won’t use toilet paper, it’s a good thing he does not use public transportation!

[HamiltonJay]

Well I can tell you this much... I ever meet these people I won’t be shaking their hands.

[Ieatfrijoles]

in addition to his bathroom stance

Whoa. Don't think I want to see that.

[snarks_when_bored]

Isn’t this Beaven guy trying to sell his book? The trees felled for his book alone offset any good his twerpy little experiment might do.

[kromike]

More TP for the rest of us.

Agreed. This doofus can live his life any way he chooses, just as long as he and his fellow brainwashed minions leave me & my wallet alone.

[SmithL]

seeing if they can live their lives without creating any waist,

waist knot, want knot?

[sergeantdave]

If this is the liberal’s uber-Marxist hero, we have them beat. All that’s left is to walk up to these New York leftists and shout “Boo!”

[upchuck]

Don’t know who types up Mr. Champion’s comments, but they are truly a waist.

[rod1]

Well it was TREE in the singular until GMA gave this guy all the hype need to sell more copies. Now his book may be the only useful substitute for TP.

[eyedigress]

lives without creating any waist

So much for English class.

If farmers were permitted to grow hemp, we could have toilet paper that would be a LOT better than the stuff we use today.

Refined hemp cloth is a lot like silk and doesn’t abrade the skin like wood chip paper. It also doesn’t need harsh acid to bleach it white, and wouldn’t need to be impregnated with oil like Charmin, which clogs pipes like crazy.

In that you can grow hemp most anywhere, with little pesticide, fertilizer, or even irrigation, it would be a lot cheaper than wood chip toilet paper, too.

Bidets are nice too. They are really easy to get used to.

[sono]

This moron is in serious need of pharmaceuticals.

[Reaganesque]

Cornholio will not be pleased.

"The rules may seem a little extreme. Nothing new, nothing in any packaging. No food that isn't grown or made within 250 miles, and no transportation, even public transportation, even elevators. And, oh yeah, no toilet paper."

People lived like this throughout most of history, and still do in deprived areas of the world - the modern world exists because the misery of this primitive lifestyle spurred our predecessors to build a better world.

...composts his poop and...Weatherman Champion toured the apartment of the Beaven family ...

That aparment has got to be NASTY AS HELL!

[6SJ7]

...everybody wants to know what you do instead of toilet paper. I'm not going to tell them. I’m going to let them go online and search this out for themselves. Let me just say it’s the Bedouin solution.

All that sand is going to do a number on the toilet and the plumbing... or is he just using a really large litter box?
