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...

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...

Song Analysis: Your Blood by Aurora

Do You Recognize the Melody? When I first listened to Aurora's 2023 hit single, " Your Blood ," I was immediately reminded of " Lovefool ," a 1996 classic from fellow Scandinavians, The Cardigans. I assumed they were both singing about unrequited love, but I realized they told different stories as I spent more time with Aurora's work. Background Interview with the Artist In this article, A Matter of the Heart , Aurora gives listeners a glimpse into the meaning behind her hit single, " Your Blood" .  In summary, "Your Blood" reflects on the loss of heart and empathy in a world driven by rationality and profit, exploring themes of pain, empathy, and interconnectedness.  Inspired by a letter written by  Indigenous activists from Brazil , Aurora's album,  What Happened to the Heart?,  questions humanity's reliance on mind over heart, highlighting how decisions driven by logic rather than compassion lead to suffering, both for the Eart...
