Maybe I am thinking about bathroom decor a bit much lately, after TBW's Ultimate Bathroom and the Newswire about all the silly things people spend money on in their bathrooms. Also, entries for the Match the pooper to their pooper contest have slowly been trickling in. Seeing everyone's crappers has been most interesting. The people here really have a variety of toilets.

(If you want to send in yours for the contest, PM or email me. If you ABSOLUTELY can't do that, email Dave. If you need technical assistance, I will help. And don't give away too much about your bathroom on here if you plan on sending in your pix!)

That said, I picked option #3. My bathroom decor is older than I am. (Which really doesn't take much.)

it's nice, but that's because it's a new house, and i just cleaned that bitch. good god it was an unholy nightmare.

All the bathroom fixtures in this house are gold-tone. Absolutely hideous. But they must have been pretty good when they were installed, since they're holdin' up very well! I've tried to decorate to minimize the tacky gold-ness as much as possible.

I rent so my bathroom decour is . . . whatever my landlord likes. I do have a pretty badass showercurtian/floormat/towel/whatever settup though. The best part is that one of my roommates (the female) cleans it 3-4 times a week (mainly because her hair gets everywhere but it's still pretty nice).

Not that great. Everything is white porcelain attached to the wall (soap and toothbrush holders, TP holder, etc). Really the only nice part of my bathroom is the floor that was replaced not long ago due to my falling through it. The rest of it is terrible, especially "This Old Toilet" which can't handle any sort of load anymore. As far as the fixtures, the toilet, two sinks, and tub are white with plain faux-chrome fixtures, just like most bathrooms. There is no shower curtain, rather, glass doors with some sort of whitish buildup on them that I assume to be a mix of soap and stuff from the water. I think that's about it. It could use a serious upgrade.

Nine-inch, you write that you now live with a female roommate. What happened to "Mel," the girl who led you into a life of turd terrorism?

If you have more than one bathroom, AB2K, do you get multiple votes? I have three in my home, and they fall into categories 2, 3, and 4, repectively.

Damn, I wish TSV were here to make a crack about a "Category 5" bathroom. Wonder how she's doing?

I said pretty nice, because it has some colorful wallpaper and other stuff I don't care about. But it's stays clean and I think that's all you can ask for.

Like Nine Inch - rented, so kind of drab and basic.

I also have a house in the Shetland Isles (60th parallel north, off mainland Scotland Scotland) from where you can see killer whales, Orcas, from the bathroom on occassion, if you sit up straight whilst unloading. Still needs a good clean and repairs.

Need some volunteer help, Thunderbox?

It`s kind of derelict Dumpster, needs a complete renovation. But 3 views over the sea and an ancient monumen close by isn`t bad. About 1/4 acre overall, the surrounding area is farm land and will never be built on.

Any offers - $100000 will start it seriously.

Damn. You can't buy a tin shed for $100K in my neck of the woods. I would LOVE to have a home in the "Zhetlands". Maybe I'll take out a 2nd mortgage and call ya! :P

Is not fair, zey give me only 5 minutes in ze interneting room. But, vot can I say - ve haff no decor in our toileting room in ze Embassy. Ve just sqvat vere ze vestern toilets used to be, before zey vere taken out to be sold to raise ze cash, and do it down ze pipe hole. No fun here friend poopers.

I like my bathroom. I rent an apartment so I can't do anything to the fixtures, floor, etc so I just put things in that make me happy. I do need a new shower curtain. Easier to buy a new one than to clean it.

Herr Verplunger, I think it safe to say that you have gotten on the wrong side of Mrs. Girl, who is one of the more important people on this site. I suggest a bit of gemütlichkeit is in order, sir.

Hah, got ze key again, but only small time. Mrs Girl, ich kann ein bischen deutsche sprechen, aber ich bin nicht von Deutschland.

A. wow GGG you're either much more of a rennaisance woman then i gave you credit for speaking german and russian, or you have one hell of a translator stashed somewhere to come up with cyrillic. and B. Kurt, herr asshole, you're definitely aping eastern german, why would you claim russian all the sudden? that's just stupid. whoever said it about buying a new shower curtain? oh yeah i'm right there too.

Dumpster. I have a roommate who knocked up some religious chick so they must immediatly be married. We are on a lease so he no one can really move out that easily (well, 2 more months then YEAH) and her mom got pissed and kicked her out the day she found out that her daughter had sex.

God I hate religion. It tends to screw up more lives than it saves.

Jesus hates "religion," too, 9". See Matthew, Chapter 23.

Dufya finds it completely ridiculous that people are so hung up on following one book and what people say about it. Life shoudln't be strongly dictated by strict unnatural rules (Can you hear me, Catholics?). Rather, you should follow your heart and mind and, for pete's sake, use your head.

I have in mind another situation that went well. A friend of mine in 10th grade ended up pregnant. The guy who she was with later decided they would marry anyway and raise the kid, and they did. However, in the meantime, her single dad was supportive of her, and she was well able to care for her son, and everyone is much better off now because her dad didn't spaz out over a disturbance in the rules.

My crapper resembles a depression era boiler room shitter with a bad case of the uglies. We've been redoing the house room by room, but because we only have the one toilet, we're saving the worst for last. I'm sorry to say we don't have a Ferguson, its more like a Flintstone. The bowl is REALLY large, with a tank elevated on a crusty brass pipe about 3 feet above it. Its not all that securely fastened to the floor, so taking a shit really rocks, if you know what I mean. Although my better half always tries to keep it at least presentable, with all the eons of hard water stains it looks like it would take a thermonuclear device to clean it. Add to this a massive (and I mean MASSIVE) cast iron tub, and the original pedestal sink from Noah's ark and you kind of get the picture.

AC, if the pan`s a bit rocky - watch the damn tank doesn`t fall on your head mid dump.

I have two bathrooms. One is plain and simple. The other is full of fish and ducks. Guess which one is ours and which one is the kids'.

I voted outdated / nice. My master bath hasn't been remodled since the early 60's (reminds me of doo wop while I'm doing Doo doo). The main floor lavatory dates back to the early 70's, outdated too. The bastment bathroom was gutted and remodled this year, it's pretty damn shnazzy.

I don't decorate my bathroom, even though it is very clean. Since I don't spend a lot of time in there, I have never seen the point of decorating it (unless I am working on my color exposure psychology study).

Why spend a lot of time decorating a room you shit in? Actually, I just sent Dave an e-mail about this topic. Besides, I spend my time on the shitter reading, so I don't really notice the decor that much anyway.

*I now feel so inadequate*
My humble home is a fibro/tile ex-Army house, and the dunny is a little room only 3' wide by 6 1/2' deep. It contains one porcelain shitter and plastic tank.
Thats all.
The bathroom is the next room along, and contains a sink and a bath tub, with the shower unit above the tub. Old and primitive? Yes, but it works. (A bit like me, really...)

Decor is non-existent. White walls and fixtures, blue polka-dotted shower curtain. My former bathroom was a sight to behold: Wide marble counter-tops, with a little tiffany-style lamp and a basket of potpourrie (sp?), a box of kitchen matches, and a lilac scented candle. Nicle-plated fixtures, heated, spongy toilet-seat and a soft, shaggy carpet/bathmat. One hated to shit in such a room.
