Wow, that's really interesting. I love toilet art. My mom has made many planters out of old toilets. And I thought toilet day was a myth or joke. I didn't know it was real. Did they also do toilet seat discus and peeing for distance contests? And maybe instead of a competitor, dave can look at mr barber as a partner.

IF 2.6 billion people don't have basic sanitation, maybe we have 2.6 billion people too many...I volunteer to hunt down the undesirables...I'll start in Britain and France, then New York City, all of New Jersey, Boston, Tennessee, North Korea, Iraq and Iran (two for one on that deal)...oh yeah, and everyone of those disgusting pigs in Lichtenstein.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.

Oh, it said 2.6 BILLION? I thought it said million. Yes I agree, that is a bit too many people in the firstplace, much less people who don't know how to dispose of their poop. I'll all for helping third work countries and have been involved in many different programs that helps third world people, but some stuff just seems to be common place. I'm quick to admit I'm no plumber, but I do know that you shouldn't shit where you eat and drink.

As PoopReport's sort of unofficial Australian correspondent (and part-time fecal agitator),I believe it would be damned rude of me not to comment on the above story.
I believe that this here event is for a noble cause, butt I agree with the Bilgemeister that undesirables need to be eradicated from our nice, clean society.
Did anybody see a movie called Turkey Shoot?
Classic scene, where prisoners are forced to recite a sort of mantra "Sir! I am a deviant, the lowest form of life on Earth....", while the head warden fella is feinting punches at their faces. Great stuff.
...I digress.
Yes, the World Dunny Day is a good idea, and if Australia could lead the world in this concept, maybe the Gay Mardi Gras would die a swift, natural death.

I would love to make some toilet art but sadly I am not allowed to play with the toilets anymore after we moved to a neighborhood where if you were to leave a toilet in the yard one of our drunk ass neighbors might shit in it.

You know, mrs. MC, I almost thought you were gonna say that you couldn't play with toilets because you lived in a new neighborhood that didn't put up with shit in your yard, but I was surprised when you said a drunk neighbor would shit in it. That's hilarious. Making art from a toilet is rather interesting sometimes.

yeah I think we are too redneck for this neighborhood. all the drunks are college kids.

My brother-in-law owned a plumbing company several years ago that won a contract to install the plumbing in a new apartment complex. I volunteered to help him one day when he was installing commodes. We carried a commode up to the second floor and left the next one sitting on the first floor under the stairwell. When we returned for it we noticed steam swirling from the bowl, it was a cold day. Much to our dismay the steam was coming from a rather large turd that had been deposited by some bastard. We left that commode until the weather warmed enough to take a hose to the unwanted deposit.

Ah, Chief!
Do you think that "some bastard" was a Turd Terrorist, or just some fool who didn't realise that the commode was not plumbed up? Were you working in the "stupid" part of town?

Well I don't know about you BM, but I have never seen a toilet sitting under my stairwell of my apartment complex, and if I did, I still wouldn't shit iin it. Especially if it didn't have any water in it. On a similar note, I have seen several kids attemp to poop in the toilet displays at my work. They'd just drop their drawers right there in the middle of the store and plop their tiny lil newly potty trained asses on the seat and get ready to go to town. Luckily, they have only ever succeeded just once.

We replaced both of the toilets in our house when we were having the bathrooms renovated. I was going to keep both, but one of the tanks broke when we were putting it outside. I still have one.

I keep threatening Mrs. Poo that I'm going to hook it up outside with a little bucket under the drain and hang a pull-around curtain so that we can take care of business outside instead of having to traipse through the house to get to the working shitters. This is especially important for the Papoopse as he's a proverbial bear: he'll shit wherever, whenever the urge strikes him without warning. This has happened a few times while were were enjoying the great outdoors from the comfort of our deck behind the house.

I had thought about putting it out in the small garden that I've got in the treeline behind our house. Maybe plant some pansies and marigolds in it.

Maybe we could start a site or a few webpages for our own collection of toilet art?

Mullet.....We must have in the stupid part of town, this brainiac never questioned why a toilet was installed under an outside stairwell with no tank. There was no toilet paper left so we could probably have watched the other workers on the site and nabbed the one who kept scratching his, probably very itchy, butt.

Chief, was this an enclosed staircase or one open to the elements? Was there a smell? You left the toilet WITH TURD under the staircase to ferment? And the toilet was not smashed or used again in that time? So many questions!!

_______
Number One . . . I order you to take a number two.

It was semi-protected from the elements but was an outside staircase going up the side of the building. It was a very cold winter and there was no unfrozen water faucet outside to which a hose could be attached. The smell was nonexistent as soon as it was frozen but still acted as a deterrent and kept others from adding to the bowl. There was no seat on the bowl and there asses would have been dangerously close to the turd that was already there. When the outside water outlets were once again usable and the turd was thawed we hosed out the bowl and salvaged it for installation in another apartment. Most of the people who passes the commode on a daily basis were construction workers and seemed to have no interest in breaking the potty.

A close friend of mine has a beautiful, shiny white porcelain commode full of gleaming white pebbles and a small ficus in his entry way. Very tastefully done too!

Cannabem liberemus!

A ficus in his entry way must be a tad painful, Lucretia, no matter how tasteful looking!!

I knew a fella who had a ficus. He reckons it hurt like hell until the doctor lanced it.
He couldn't sit down for days afterward, and had to sleep on his belly.
