I think you have a bigger problem to worry about. Like a clogged up toilet, once all that magazine paper (or whatever else he uses) gets stuck in the sewer pipe.

You have even bigger problems if you read "GQ" while on the crapper.

My advice: tear pages 37-78 out of your GQ magazine. Fold it nicely and leave it in the empty toilet paper dispensor. Your roommate will come into the bathroom and realize that his secret is out.

i also use magazine paper. I feel its gets the job done faster and cleaner

Dave: I think that would work. Or better (this might take some time) cut tp-width strips out of a magazine, tape them end-to-end and roll them around an empty tp cardboard tube and put it in the holder.

Or you could keep your magazine with your toilet paper so your room mate cant rip more pages out.

i just use my hands

magazine paper often forms sharp points when bent or folded, thus leaving him with a sore ass sphincter

Try putting poison oak oils on the magazine.

I would rip all the pages out of the magazine leaving the original covers. Bind a new magazine with 80 grit sandpaper pages inside. Else do like the days of old and leave an old telephone book for him. Remind him that the index pages are the only way to go - beings he is using modern plumbing fixtures like a damn privy in the year 2004. I can't believe anyone is stupid enough to use the slick glossy pages if they are gonna use a book for bung foder. *shaking head* The direct approach would be good too. Tell him you will shove the magazine up his kazoo if he don't buy some TP.

Wipe with his hair. He'll get the picture.

one time on a boyscout trip my friend wiped with poison oak leaves, he didnt think anything of the buen, you all know what scout food is like goes in hot comes out napalm!

I used to wipe with leaves all the time as a kid. Usually because I was out in the wild and there were no toilets, much less toilet paper. But I always made sure to use leaves from distinct trees, just to avoid the poison oak problem.

i know of a similar story, only this person had no magazine in the bathroom at the time. better with GQ then no GQ at all.
