A Board Divided
So, we are in the cold doldrums of another long summer, so I figured I would spark some conversation by seeing what side of the fence everybody is on. I'll post few debatable topics just to see where the battle lines are drawn...
1. LBJ, NBA MVP and Champion - happy for him or hope his house gets hit by a tank?
2. OSU - Win every game but one, only beat the SEC, or secede from the Union to form a province of Bolivia?
3. Navarre - If we find the Weinke loophole, would you take four more years at his average productivity?
4. Ditka or God, who would win in a fight?
5. Mascot - Giant blue weasel, life sized garden gnome from Brian's post, or does it not matter as long as they hurry the hell up...
6. Now that RDT has been outed, who is the next alter ego to slip up?
7. Ale or lager?
8. Toilet paper wrapped over or under?
Until I got cat.
All I can say is ur all crazy. Rolling over can only be described as unnatural. Under 4 life.
and I can't stand it. The end piece gets lost behind the roll--where is it? I don't know. I guess I'll resort to butt-scooting on the floor like the dog does.
...find the end piece on a roll of TP, regardless of orientation, even while drunk and in the dark, then you deserve every skid mark you've earned, along with a crusty, smelly, itchy asshole...and maybe some hemorrhoids.
has a cat? Obviously, you meant German Shepherd.
If you have a toddler there is only one correct position. Out of their reach on the cabinet that's over the toilet.
Toddlers trump cats for sheer mayhem any day of the week. You, sir, win the internets for the day. I've never owned a cat, but there is no way a dozen furballs could equal what my little one can do with a roll and that evil little grin.
I swear mine is an Al Qaeda operative sent to destroy all of my nice things and run about 30 feet with the end of the toilet paper in his mouth or hand. Then laugh at me when I start screaming nooooooooo!
agreed. Why would I want to make the paper harder to grasp by rolling it over the back and under the roll?
I totally agree over. Some people just put it on there and let it fly. There are also some passionate under people (mostly because of cats and kids). But I'm all for over.
The kids bath is under all the way, I get tired of spooling it back on off of the floor. The grown up bathroom is always over, always.
Seconded. I just don't get the people that think that rubbing the paper against the wall before using it is a good thing. Tearing angle isn't even a consideration so don't go there to justify your wall cleaning tendencies.
HA! I thought I was the only one stupid enough to have this debate. I've actually adopted a hybrid style, which is the only way to be truly clean. I've been given a hard time for years by my buddies for professing this, but a man has to stick by his ideals.
Edit: Two different pages. I read 'wiping styles' not 'hanging styles'. I still stick to my guns, but in response to your question, only overhand is acceptable.
Wait, what? What exactly are you wiping over/under? Nevermind, I don't want to know.
Roughly half of men wipe sitting down and the other half wipe standing up. I once polled my fraternity and I'm pretty sure the final number was 37 to 35 sitting down.
What psi are we talking about here?
corn cob. Go native.
Kleenex behind the toulet because the roll is empty
the most imformative and useful post I have ever seen on this blog. I applaud you for clearing this confusion up for all of those who think under is correct. Clearly, as you can see, over is the way to go.
you get nice rolled up wad of toilet paper if you leave it off the wall altogether...hold it in your other hand - makes for more efficient wiping.
My dog Kaedo has cost me about $200 in TP. My home is a better place now because of you...
to give my two cents on the best thread ever. I had to go with the under technique for a while, due to the animals, but they overcame that barrier. Then, just ended up putting the roll on nearby cabinet or on top of the tank. This works well until retards who come to my house try to be helpful and re-install the roll to its standard location. I have now removed all the toilet paper roll holders from all three shitters and all is happy in the hood. there ya go.
I, like any sane person, use the wrap over method. I have noticed that ours seems to be wrapped under lately in our upstairs bathroom. I assume this to be an unexpected side effect of my daughter's potty training (she likes to play with the tp while she potties). I assume my wife has tried this to discourage that activity (I have not asked because however my wife does anything is the correct way to do it, how dare I question her!). My daughter, however, has figure out she can just slide the roll off the end of the hanger. She's quite the problem solver.
You guys put it on a roll? Weird.
1 - Don't care about NBA.
2 - Bolivia all the way.
3 - You mean take a Chance that he'll Stewart the team as well as he did last time?
4 - No idea.
5 - Blue Haired guy that yells at people to sit down and get off his lawn.
6 - Ace is actually Kate Upton.
7 - Ale. The paler the better.
That's awesome. The blue-hair would have to sit in the stands though and nag people "down in front, I can't see" rather than pumping them up.
OSU: Win every game but one(providing they still lose most recruiting battles to us)
Ale all the way
Navarre:Nice to have as an option to use for a year or two if the depth chart is thin, wouldn't take him for four years, especially as our QB recruiting looks to really pick up again.
What if Mike Ditka is actually a hurricane?
you need to save this philosophical post for a Saturday night drinking thread, as he is probably simultaneously a satisfying beverage and a hurricane.
1. I voted for Goldwater.
2. I don't completely understand this question, hopefully the latter.
3. Not with the passers we have now / coming in. Four years ago, absolutely.
4. God. Ditka is overrated as a coach, underrated as a player.
5. Burning effigy of Dave Brandon.
6. Again, I do not completely understand the question.
7. Lager.
Why didn't you sign it? How can I be sure it's you Herm??
On the subject of Herm, I think he's the next alter ego to fall. His level of crotchety is just too perfect to be some old guy who learned how to use a computer...
I agree, either that or he's taking to his new found "celebrity" here on mgo and is becoming a caricature of himself.
I have to agree with Herm here. 4 years ago, it would have been awesome to have had the single most stationary QB in the history of QB's running Rich Rod's spread offense in his first season as head coach.
And don't try to bring up that throw back reverse against Minnesota. The Offensive Lineman leading him had to slow down so he could catch up.
1. Happy, but mostly so I don't have to hear about how he doesn't have a ring anymore.
2. All but one. OSU's pain is my pleasure.
3. Dear god no
4. God. Go Packers.
5. NO MASCOT
6. Harvey Updyke was pretending to be WolverineInABag who was pretending to be RDT
7. Yes
1. Hit by a tank
2. get hit by a tank
3. I will never understand why he had so many balls batted down. But no, not 4 years, I would pull all of my hair out.
4. Brady Hoke
5.life sized garden gnome is the best option
6. bwgrudt1484
7. lager
Ohio State needs to go away, with Penn State
Ale is better.
Herm is the next one to slip, or is Herm RDT?
1. LBJ, NBA MVP and Champion - Happy for him. He has done more emotional damage to the state of Ohio than I could ever dream of doing.
2. OSU - My brain says I want them to only lose one game a year, but heart just can't stand to see them win.
3. Navarre - I'd take Denard and the gamble on Morris over Navarre's mediocrity any day of the week.
4. Ditka or God - Is god named 'God Ditka'?
5. Mascot - You are far to close to my lawn.
6. Next RDT - I don't think that will ever happen again, most alter egos are blatant jokes, while RDT actually pretended to be a legit source, and consistently led the board astray.
7. Ale or lager? Yes please.
