Sometimes you need a template that matches the mood (mood = dark, not constipated; also, NO, the mere reference to a toilet in the header does not mean you're invited to make toilet jokes. I've heard them all, anyway. I've even made a few.)
Speaking of headers, many thanks to this girl, whose habit of arming herself with permanent markers and skulking around communal bathrooms occasionally produces interesting results. ;) Welcome to National League of the Underperforming, Jodhpur - even our showers are educational. As the man has rightly said, Revolutions begin in the Bathroom*.
We are toying with the idea of doing a whole series of these.
If you were religiously inclined, for example, you would no doubt appreciate this little effort in that direction (I cater to the masses; after all, it has been so correctly said, pee is the great equalizer*) :
And now I sit me down to wee
Dear God, I hope the seat is clean
I hope the pot, of proof, is free
Of someone, earlier, having been.
Haiku enthusiasts?
one stream of water
showerhead blocked (surprise?)
bath will still happen.
also,
O soap that vanished,
i left you on the wash-stand!
soap thief!! i smite thee.
More as and when inspiration/insomnia strikes, or public enthusiasm/support is shown.
Oh and before I forget - Revelsign, this post is dedicated to you.
Please don't kill me. I couldn't resist. :D

*Or Charles Dickens did, only may have used the words 'Charity' and 'Home' instead. Quiet down, nitpickers, I aim to capture the spirit of quotes; accuracy is SO 1997.
*Susanna Moodie in Life in the Clearings versus the Bush, 1853 (though wrongly attributed to Thomas Carlyle) and she was talking about death, but it's a fairly flexible phrase, no? Oh shut up.

actually I disagree with pee being the great equalizer, in fact thats one respect in which I must admit that boys and girls are different and maybe the guys have the upper hand.
theres that joke about a little boy and a litte girl arguing about who's better boys or girls, and the boy to prove his point, makes a circle on the wall with his pee.
I admit (much as I don't want to) that girls simply can't do that.
poop on the other hand may be the actualy equalizer...... (it just hit me, the Idea, not poop!)
You girls do posters? The notice is as good as any http://www.asofterworld.com comic.
I'm buying one if you plan to sell it.
Such a poetic subject. I am inspired. May I? Thank you.
In this loo
I strain and stoop
For a fart or two
And with luck, some poop.
hmmph.
*glares*
however, i do agree with the principles behind the revolution...anything for better bathrooms, dear ones.
@divi - you get blog traffic in exchange for being known as a bathroom skulker? FINE with me :D
@ramu - the need to pee, i was thinking of. not the process. but yes, i am perfectly capable of appreciating in someone else, some skilful pee-time peewee maneouvreing (now THAT is a word i am forever afraid of misspelling.. phew).
@deleted - chor! i want my comment back! :(
@virus - you will buy?! you really will?? really?!
ahem.
i mean.. of COURSE you'll buy. Of COURSE this stuff is good enough to buy. Good enough to pay hard cash for. Yes. We should negotiate. :)
@shenoy saar - as poignant as always. excuse me while i cry a little cry. ;)
the following haiku, presented itself at night, in a loo with its only light bulb fused, causing worries of sideways spillage -
my fluorescent pee
lights up the dark room
falls into place
RT such a poetic subject.
Peeple, pee now or forever hold your pees. And then, do not wonder, to pee or not to pee... :D :D
Yes, yes, you think I need therapee. I get it... Don't be so pissamistic. I'll get pissed off if you do. :D
Just remember, you love me. :D
Ask blogger. They stole it.
Does it come in frames? Do you sign the posters? Is shipping free? Are there any hidden charges? [As if you are gonna tell] Do I get goodies with it?
There's lot to discuss.
You know, the context puts a whole new perspective into 'goodies' .
@divi - YES i love you and this is firm proof, clearly, that love is blind, deaf, dumb and paralysed from neck down. :P
@virus - sure I'll sign it, and so will divya, who both wrote the quote and photographed it. and "is shipping free" - really? considering we're extremely broke, extremely desperate college students, if you're willing to pay us enough, we'll ship it/fly it/have it hand delivered by scarlett johansson in a miniskirt if you want. :)
oh, and you can keep scarlett johansson. she has 'goodies' enough for anyone, i should think. :P
@sindhu - please show meghana the question and your reply. show her when i'm around! :D
