Array 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.

Array I dont know. Cause sometimes things take longer than expected. Gamingworld is a fun place, I used to post there alot. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. And from this side only! The flight of a half-man, half-bird. Dinosaurs nuzzling their young in pastures where strip malls should be. Cookies on dowels. All those moment, lost in time. Gone, like eggs off a hooker's stomach. Time to die" -Phil Ken Sebben -

Array 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... Proditio plerumque amatur, proditor odio habetur.

Array 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. Proditio plerumque amatur, proditor odio habetur.

Array 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.

Array I had the flu once, diarehee and all.... I read chamber of secrets in one sitting. Lol. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. And from this side only!

Array 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' -

Array 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". -

Array I don't get the navel reference...??? -

Array 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. -

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. Besides being a real party animal, she was making an incorrect inference--correlation is not causation. 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. The solution to your problem is to fence another weapon. -

Array Whoops. I got Fencer's Quarterly confused with whatever it is the USFA produces. I've never actually touched Fencer's Quarterly. The solution to your problem is to fence another weapon. -
