The Great Toilet Paper Debate Come to a Close. Again.


I've had some blog followers offering some resistance to my original blog post on the proper way to hang toilet paper. I'm not going to assume that my way is the best way for everyone. But I do feel that it is important for everyone to at least educate themselves on potentially new points of view. Well let me go ahead and put The Great Debate to rest with the following lesson.

'OVERHAND' METHOD


And now you know. Next time you have to hang toilet paper, just remember these handy illustrations I put together for your convenience. You don’t want to look like an idiot when company comes over.

'UNDERHAND' METHOD [Behind the back]

My sister and her 3 children have a different point of view. When babies, like Shannon, hit the T.P. roll they tend to put their hands on the top and pull toward them to spin it. When they do so, if the T.P. is dressed 'overhand' it will roll the paper out instead of around. If, however, they actually grab onto the loose paper, you’re bound for clean up either way.

Cats pose the same threat.

ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS

Other solutions I'm happy with include, posting a roll on the y-axis, disposable wipes, a bidet, or optimally, eating enough fruit and fiber that a 'cleansing solution' is unnecessary.

  1. yeah, why doesn't anyone hang it on a Y-axis? Just like paper towel holders, no? Thanks for the handy illustration. I say, look in EVERY public bathroom and fancy five star resort how they hang it. That's most likely the "right way", in our country, anyway.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
