Pet Peeve: Toilet seat paper protectors damp from the last person...

who applied them.

But then she DIDN'T WANT TO TOUCH THEM after she used them -- they are supposed to be flushable -- to clear the seat for the next person (ME!).

How thoughtless can you get??? Gad zooks!

(Sorry for this wet-bottomed paper-stuck-to-my-ass rant!)

1. That's what hackeysack trains you for

Clearing the paper off the seat, and flushing the john when you're done!

2. What's that word? "Hackysack"???? {{dashes to on-line dictionary}}

On edit:

OK. Here goes:

(I still don't get the connection between "Footbag" and toilet seat protectors exactly. Must be me -- I'm dense!)

Hacky Sack
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Mary Bellis

The co-operative kicking sport has ancient origins from China, Thailand, Native America and nearly every country. Hacky Sack or Footbag, as we know it today, is a modern American sport invented in 1972, by John Stalberger and Mike Marshall of Oregon City, Oregon. Marshall had created a hand-made bean bag, that he was kicking around. Stalberger was recovering from knee surgery and was looking for a fun way to exercise his knees. Together, they called the new game "Hackin' the Sack." The two decided to collaborate and market their new game under the trademark of "Hacky Sack®".

Mike Marshall died of a heart attack in 1975, at the age of twenty-eight. Stalberger continued with the "Hacky Sack" cause and formed the National Hacky Sack Association. He later sold the rights for the Hacky Sack® Footbag to Kransco (operating under the Wham-O label), which also manufactured the Frisbee flying disc.

Following the invention of Hacky Sack (aka Footbag), different varieties of the sport have evolved including "Footbag Net" where players volley a Hacky Sack over a 5-foot-high net and "Freestyle Footbag" where players stand in a circle and do tricks with the Hacky Sack while passing it around the circle.

5. "Yuck" is right. We went through three airports going and three coming

back from Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas, and Portland.

Each time I got more and more disgusted at the condition of the bathrooms.

Oh, another thing. Trying to get the toilet paper out of those double (or triple) rolls. Just a little piece tears off and you have to CLAW at the thing to get any supply of paper to wipe with.

I'm carrying my own wipes -- Cottonelles -- from now on. I did it in Mexico (where they usually have no toilet SEATS at all).

In peace,
