Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

The Bathroom Bolshevik Poster reads: Is your bathroom breeding bolsheviks? Employees lose respect for a company that fails to provide decent facilities for their confort. The poster is an actual ad for Scot Tissue Towels that first appeared in the 1930's.

heh, my aunt and uncle had that poster up in their bathroom for years.

damn forgot to tape.

So I had a burst of motivation and got some stuff done: put clothes away, more winter clothes packed up (and off my sewing table), get rid of clothes divided into giveaway and sell, and drying racks folded up.

Now to go get mac, let's all hold hands and pray for shiny happy mac.

If they opened outward, you'd need more floorpsace for other people to get past. And you'd still have to expect that someone's going to take a door to the face occasionally.

Usually they reserve the door-to-the-face function for the large heavy door into the restroom.

eta: Mac! Be shiny and happy for your beleaguered mother.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Here's my current hygiene question: What is up with the people who use the paper towel to touch all the doors on their way out of the bathroom? I figure those are the cleanest doorknobs around, since most people at least make a half-assed effort to wash their hands in the bathroom.

Actually, it's generally the place in the bathroom with the most germs. I never used to do it until I heard one of these people

the same people who use the millimeter thin toilet seat cover thinking it's going to prevent something "yucky" from getting on them.

come in to the bathroom at work, do the whole paper on the toilet seat, and then leave without washing their hands. I figure I have the paper towel in my hands anyway so I just keep it until I get back to my desk.

ETA: This is also because there is no garbage near the bathroom door anyway.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cat drifting!

Awesome video. Also, note the two-cat pileup at the cat-door....

When Sagrada Familia is finished, it will be added to Ceiling Porn.

I'm not a Christian; I tend not to be whelmed (under- or over-) by their stuff. However - walking into the still-greatly-unfinished sanctuary and looking so far up...into stone trees (with leaves and birds and vines and flowers) which are the columns holding up that ceiling...

Quite literally took my breath away. I can't wait until it's done in the 2020s.
