| Toilets and Reading Material
I was reading a gaming forum that DFP posted earlier, and there was a thread about funny bathroom habits... so... fencers... what's YOURS? A lot of the answers on the gaming forum included 'reading material'... I don't understand this, WHY do a lot of people have to have reading material (I do), why is it so popular? Give me your answers, explanations or logic.

| I tend to bring along a book, hehe, sometimes Harry Potter, sometimes one of Drizzt's series, sometime a history book such as 'The Bible of the World', sometimes Shakespeare, and Faust. Or perhaps whatever I'm reading at the time...

| hmm, I don't know. I love the Hunter's Blade trilogy, but I like them all really. Although, Wulfgar is really on my nerves.. I think that I hate him.

| FYI: I college I was told by a nursing student that a study showed that reading on the john leads to developing - or correlates to a higher incidence of hemorrhoids. Now you know - and if you ever get them you'll know why. Her advice was to get in do your business and get out. It was a first and only date.
Our bathroom reading material is usually mail order catalogs and / or magazines. I can't imagine doing "heavy reading" while on the thone.
Then again with a wireless network and a laptop... | |

| HAHAHHA! That's hilarious! OMG. Something similar to that happened to me once. OMG. Hey, if that happened to me, I'd bring a laptop (if I had one) and play CounterStrike or WarCraft while crappin'

| Life is too short to be spent contemplating your navel while on the throne. Oh, wait, isn't that what got Louis the XVIII in trouble? I digress. Get in, get it out, and move on. Besides, some of the places that I have frequented lately do not lend themselves to long leisurely "sessions".

| Louis the XVIII was either insane or mentally retarded, or perhaps a bit of both. He would spend days at a time in bed, playing with his toy soldiers. Mergs is making a joke on the two different thrones. | |

People who develop hemorrhoids might be the ones who need reading matter in the bathroom, because those are the people who are already stuck there.
I have a basket of catalogues, and never look at them. I think I put them there out of a vague feeling that it's a common interior decoration. However, since I'm always reading something wherrever I am, I always already have a book in my hand anyway.

But, if something's going to keep me, it's usually American Fencing Quarterly or MAD magazine.

| Whoops. I got Fencer's Quarterly confused with whatever it is the USFA produces. I've never actually touched Fencer's Quarterly.
