By news reports, most likely Falkie was a Premier/Clearchannel plant of degradation.

You know, if Coast to Coast did half an hour of Falkie talk a night, and another half an hour of shit talk, that show would be 25% better.

Pardon me, but I think you meant George Noory on C2CAM. I doubt George Noory even knows what good pizza tastes like when he's promoting frozen ones w/burned mouth.

There must be a cure for public restroom timidness or embarassment. Out in the wild or bush, I don't think other wild animals in the area are going to start laughing or attacking. There must be a way to prove a theory of how offensive an unusual load is w/a portable recorder and loudspeaker. Probably different recordings would be needed for male and female public restrooms. Don't want no emergency services called if it sounds like a lady is giving birth complete w/baby wails. A 10 minute recording of more unusual ones started while walking into bathroom would probably take care of most though.

This is wrong for so many reasons.

You need a high quality low noise microphone and headphones and/or recording device.

I agree; Firstly stop calling a toilet a restroom or bathroom. Bathrooms have baths in them. Lavatories/Toilets might be in a bathroom, but ordinarily we don't piss in an empty bath or go to the 'bath'. We go to the toilet. I've never willingly rested in a toilet, unless it was inevitable after throwing up the contents of my stomach and evacuating my digestive tract. That's prompted some resting on the floor curled up around the great white telephone.

When it comes to the use of a public toilet, the potential infection from the seat is less than minimal. The stuff coming out of your anus is much more likely to cause an infection than a smooth surface.

Upper right corner material.

PS I saw an episode of penn and teller's bullshit where they proved what you are saying is true.

[area51drone]

The reason I use a gasket and a few layers of TP is because unless it has been disinfected, that shit sits on that smooth surface.  I don't need it touching my body in any way.  If you want to play footsies with the brown stuff, be my guest.

[eeieeyeoh]

When younger, I removed, installed, rebuilt, repaired, and cleaned toilets and sewer pipes. I rarely had health problems beyond brief sniffles or flu even w/cuts through skin on hands or elsewhere. Perhaps some should go to a farm w/animal husbandry for a visit of food being made. Better yet, get a job working for a Veterinarian.

Perhaps I should call GabCast to discuss how to properly calibrate a torque wrench used in torquing threaded fasteners for gasket integrity and longevity.

Pardon me sir. When driving in States and stop at rest area to use the toilet there are usually signs for directions to public restrooms. When differentiated between male and female restrooms there will be toilet behind the door. They all have sinks to wash hands, face, or if so inclined, any other part of body. I think when toilets first got moved indoors w/running water they were also called water closets. The original modern toilet w/trap to prevent potentially explosive sewer methane gas or smells getting in house was designed by Clarance Crapper (if I remember correctly).

Ignorance is bliss:
There's more fecal bacteria in the kitchen sink than in the toilet after we flush it, Dr Gerba said, thanks to all the meat and produce remnants that collect there.

Because people are careful to disinfect the toilet seat regularly, it tends to be among the cleanest surfaces in the house.

...  in the house ...   we're talking about PUBLIC restrooms.   I don't trust some 16 year old kid to clean the toilet seat as much or as well as I would.   Let alone the kitchen sink, which I disinfect every time I do dishes.

I would agree as a general rule in private bathrooms. Myth Busters did a show where they tested toliet seats, vanity counters and other surfaces in the bathroom including the toothbrush. lo and behold the toilet seat had the least amount of bacteria. the toothbrush, however, had more instances of minute fecal remnants and varying cultures of harmfull bacteria than the toilet seat. (Probably similar results in the story you linked)
Thanks god for our immune system!

Even worse, calling it a 'John'. Think of all the Johns in this world, won't someone?

In my carefree, adventurous college days that was called Worshiping the Porcelain God, not that I have firsthand knowledge, mind. I heard about it from a friend.

Oh, gah! That's downright nauseating. Wash those hands! I'm on top of the kids I'm around to wash their hands and sneeze or cough into their elbows. It's a losing battle, but one I keep waging. I also keep getting stomach bugs, thanks to them.

Sorry Yorkshire pud. It was Thomas Crapper, a Brit, who improved toilets and other plumbing parts. I guess in America the history is taught in a non-national humorous way, because the Uniform Plumbing Code book is all that's really important. That book doesn't explain the "why" behind the Codes, and somehow I was blessed w/employers and teachers that could or did eventually answer that when asked in relation to plumbing, heating, and refrigeration trades. The customers I was given or had were all different though.

Yeah, all women have 'friend's that do/have done/will do the things they'd never dream of doing, cos they're 'good girls'.

Married to Toya Wilcox I think, at least used to be.

The Choia (jumping) cactus.
Be affraid! The pods of this cacti will detach from the cactus and dig into anything that slightly brushes against it.
It doesn't actually jump. Good luck removing it once it is on your skin or clothing.
Two sticks or a comb are the best method to remove it, but the spines/barbs detatch also. I hope you carry tweezers!
It's the devils work.

Thanks Martha Stewart.

Martha's a badass. She did hard time.

Thanks Martha Stewart.

It's my PSA (public service announcement)  duty as a desert rat.  (court ordered)
I recommend you try a naked sword  fight with this cacti, during your visit to Arizona, Jaz.
I have a video camera.

In her prime, I would have given her hard time.

[eddie dean]

Wow! She doesn't look cunty at all!
An acquired behavior no doubt.
Edit:(2 seconds later) On further inspection, I guess she does.

[area51drone]

I'd say she looks very cunty.
