happythoughts 0 #52 January 9, 2003 Quote Quote Hey, its one of those padded seats, much comfier to shit with then that hard one that I used to have... Dave, you have a wussy ass. Is yours also one of those elevated padded ones like that have in retirement homes for people that can't stand up from a standard toilet seat height? He may live in Austin, it's very common there.

happythoughts 0 #54 January 9, 2003 Quote Quote How many up/down cycles do you think is the mean time between failure on toilet seat hinges? Does it really matter? I can't believe that you are trivializing this. MTBF = (no of hours in use) / (no of failures). It all gets down to the hinge bolt. Plastic ones are cheaper than metal. Plastic does not wear the seat as bad, but is easier to break. The new SoftClose seats eliminate part of the damage problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And every time i buy a new toilet seat i get new bolts and stuff. I suppose it's freaky to change a toilet seat so often, but i never claimed to be normal. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

I'm just waiting for Kallend, or perhaps BillVon, to weigh in the the scientific and political subtleties of toilet seat usage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyskydiver 0 #57 January 9, 2003 No, I do that as well. I, also, will splurge on a cushy toilet seat if I find one that has a really cool pattern on the top of it.Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the hardware is brass there is a risk of stress-corrosion failure from the female spraying as dicussed previously. Stainless steel will be attacked by bleach, and will be particularly affected if welded. OTOH plastic hardware will be degraded by cleaning detergents. I suspect you just can't win. Maybe I'll write a research proposal to the NSF for a $1M grant to study the issues.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

JeffGordon 0 #65 January 9, 2003 I think this how the dogs feel is VERY important. It's common knowledge that dogs are better companions than women. WHY DOGS ARE BETTER THAN WOMEN A dog's disposition stays the same all month long. A dog's parents never visit. A dog's time in the bathroom is confined to a quick drink. Anyone can get a good-looking dog. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across. Dogs are excited by rough play. Dogs aren't catty. Dogs can appreciate excessive body hair. Dogs can't talk. Dogs don't borrow your shirts. Dogs don't care if you use their shampoo. Dogs don't cry. Dogs don't expect you to call when you are running late. Dogs don't hate their bodies. Dogs don't let magazine articles guide their lives. Dogs don't mind if you give their offspring away. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name. Dogs don't shop. Dogs don't want to know about every other dog you ever had. Dogs don't worry about germs. Dogs enjoy heavy petting in public. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk. Dogs have no use for flowers, cards, or jewelry. Dogs like beer. Dogs like it when you leave lots of things on the floor. Dogs like to do their snooping outside as opposed to in your wallet, desk, and the back of your sock drawer. Dogs love it when your friends come over. Dogs love long car trips. Dogs love red meat. Dogs never criticize. Dogs never expect gifts. Dogs never need to examine the relationship. Dogs never want foot-rubs. Dogs seldom outlive you. Dogs think you sing great. Dogs understand that all animals smaller than dogs were made to be hunted. Dogs understand that farts are funny. Dogs understand that instincts are better than asking for directions. Dogs will forgive you for playing with other dogs. Dogs would rather have you buy them a hamburger dinner than a lobster one. If a dog is gorgeous, other dogs don't hate it. No dog ever bought a Kenny G or Hootie & the Blowfish album. No dog ever put on 100 pounds after reaching adulthood. The later you are, the more excited dogs are to see you You never have to wait for a dog. They're ready to go 24 hours a day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
