Thanks for the low-down, Thunderbox. But why the inclusion of the pic of the million rials fanned out like a toilet seat? I thought you were going to tell us they were so worthless you wiped with them. And what's the pink thing we can see just a part of in the second set of pictures?

The pink thing`s the edge of the wash hand basin. And, Logjam, I would have thought that a man of your incredible knowledge would have known that "rial" is farsi for "emergency TP".

Actually, in Iran people don't count currency using "rials" -- they use tomans (10 rials = 1 toman) The current exchange rate is about 900 tomans for 1 US dollar. And before you wipe with it, note that prices for many things in Iran are on par with the West (like a cup of coffee at a "Star BOX") so you'd better keep it.

The last two pictures are just gorgeous. Did you take a tour of the bath?

The forked pole on the mud hut has what appears to be a wire strung to it. Does the bathroom have tv and phone service? Internet? If so its my favorite.

Thats the direct line "red" phone to the Kremlin.

Dapne, I think the last two pictures are screenshots from 'Prince of Persia' What the hell would he know about where to poop?

Prince of Persia, Sands of Time? That is one neat video game.

I just wish I wasn't retiring so I could drop laser guided bombs on all those facilities next year, when Netanyahu declares war on Iran.

CEP, if you have any connections, please see to it they spare the mud hut toilet. Bilge and I plan to visit it some day.

What a wonderful year it’s turning out to be: Bush, Cheney, and CEP not only neutralized, but retiring.

Logjam, I'm only retiring because there are so many younger and smarter guys coming up who love to kill commies and muslims as much as I do. I'll be on my fishing boat if President McCain needs me to come back.

AC - they use both toman and rials depending on the particular seller. It can be confusing at times, thinking you`re on to a bargain but finding they are talking about toman and not rials.

Daphne - the bath house was great, you could have got dozens of folk in at once - they`re very like Roman bath houses with Caldarium, Frigidarium etc.

PD - the wire on the mud hut was for the electric light bulb. I took a dump in there - very satisfying if a bit chilly. Must be damn cold in mid-winter, this was spring and there was still several feet of snow around the village.

Tbox, that mud hut still facinates me, but I have a few more questions. Since you were there I hope you can answer them. What is the brown tarry looking substance near the bottom of the electric pole? What is the 55 gal drum for? Whose panties are caught at the top of the pole? I see some other short twigs coming off the branches; will they be adding cable service? And is the door for sale?

Thank you
PD

So many questions today, pd. The tarry area is where people wipe their asscracks after a messy dump. The undies belong to the fat lady and are attached to the short twigs to form a catapult for launching large logs at the neighbouring village in times of anger. The door, unfortunately, is not for sale unless you want to offer a replacement. The 55 gallon drum is a seat in case a queue builds up. Hope these answers help.

I'll be able to sleep tonight. Thank you.

I like the mud shit hut too! I'm not sure I could share a bath like that with anyone. Maybe if I was really drunk or something....

Rock-n-roll! Poopy-poo!

I've been waiting for this report ever since TB said he went to Iran. Thanks for the great picture tour, as I am too lazy to read through a whole story today.

P.S. Whoever shat in that toilet must have had some Pepto at some point.

The string thing?

Was that you who said it was the licking?

I have not taken the time to edit the page yet, but mark my words, my baron, I will.

PS Happy 400!

Cheers Daphne, it was about seeing string as prey, eyesight function and barbed tounge.

Daphne, I'm guessing the pooper must have been one of those guys from a news network. Someone must not have warned him that he's not supposed to eat those little square things put on people's butts and faces on TV. Must have hurt on the way out!

Oh, baron, I've talked to more people about string eating since posting that article than imaginable, and your opinion is only one in many!
