Is anyone else wondering what the helmet is for?
-
My two main guesses are:
Scalp rub and telepathic communication with anyone else wearing the helmet while taking a shit.
However this is a Japanese device so there's a slight possibility that it gives you a virtual reality version of tentacle sex.
-
The Japanese toilets (and I am not talking about the abbreviated Toto models sold here) are mad scary with all of their handles, nozzels, and devices. A helment is not too hard to imagine as an attachment.
If you wanted to get into salad tossing, I am assuming that you might start on a chick from Osaka.
-
I like the idea that the specific act of putting something in or near your mouth can be named by simply taking the name of the object that is going in your mouth and adding -lingus to it. For example: fingerlingus.
Um, do Japanese toilets generally have separate holes for numbers 1 and 2 respectively? Seems like it would require an undue amount of precision on the part of the person using the toilet.
-
The Japanese are all about precision.

P.S. I actually like Phillipe and am not afraid to admit it.
Good for you!

Nah, dude, that's the Swiss (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=03312005). The Japanese are more about crushing any and all individualism through ostracism and shaming. Also, tentacle sex.

This reminds of something so terrifying I can only put it in small print.
Colon cleansing toilet. GROSS.http://www.advancedtoilets.com/lang_english/features.html (http://www.advancedtoilets.com/lang_english/features.html) And all those other features make me nauseous.

Helmetlingus obviously.

Those are some pricey potties.

The remote control would just lead to endless hijinks of which roommate could give the other the most features before he stands up.

Sounds like the lead-in to the new direct-to-DVD movie, Abercrombie & Fist.
-

Of course.

Also, tentacle sex.
Well then, the only reasonable conclusion is that mechanized tentacles shoot out of the holes and latch onto the appropriate orifice, forming an airtight seal that facilitates efficient, no-hassle defecation.

I could never say hello that calmly if I knew that somebody had seen my bare butt.
Butt a toilet with a heated seat would be nice.

I am available for toilet seat pre-warming. Maybe I can post an ad on craigslist.

I distantly remember reading one of those kid novels set in an old-times boarding school where a prefect or someone made the main character go sit on the toilet (outhouse? some sort of brit term?) seat for 15 minutes every morning so it would be warm.
My most immediate guess would be one of Roald Dahl's memoirs. But I remember reading a lot of kid's novels set in old times boarding schools.
-
yeah, that was in Boy by Roald Dahl. That book was a big fav of mine in Elementary School.

Oddly enough, the same day as this comic I went out with my family to a hibachi-style restaurant for Guy Fawkes Night (it did have a fire, after all) and our guest, a colleague of my dad's, told us about a device he'd seen recently at a Japanese technology symposium.
The device was designed to make it easier to communicate with someone of higher authority in the workplace, which could be awkward under traditional Japanese culture and etiquette. It consisted of a special chair for the boss to sit in and a pair of wall-mounted artificial buttocks. The idea was for workers to break the ice by fondling the buttocks on the wall, which would then cause the chair to massage the boss's real buttocks in the same way.
I'm not sure if these have been put into production yet, of course. Surely there must be some point at which a product is too ridiculous even for Japan?
-
My question: since when does simulated buttocks-fondling make social etiquette less awkward?
