So, todd is back and he's fat.

Bein' Fat Rocks!

[cellardoor]

Cool strip. I like the toilet party motif.
And, yay, more inventive swears coutesy of Todd.
Being fat does not rock though. I'm with Beef on this.

[Gimpson]

I had always figured that if I ever went to prison it would be an excellent opportunity for weight loss.

Also, District is back and he still dislikes Jough's smarmy-comic-book-guy-from-the-simpson's-attitude.

Did you spell your username wrong or is there some sort of union of similarly-named Jough-haters of which we should be aware?

Cool strip. I like the toilet party motif.

To celebrate the leitmotif of toiletry, I shall forego the Scandinavian music video and instead relate to you a true moment in my life:



Yes, this is what happens when you put a bottle of grain alcohol into a toilet and set it on fire. Ronsonol/Zippo fluid makes for bigger flames but it leaves carbon marks on the porcelain.

Ray has a huge bathroom. And I'm a little surprised that he doesn't have some fancy ergonomic $2,000 toilet or something.

Discuss.

Do you think it is Rad to be an attention whore?

[AugustWest]

Always glad to see Todd.  Wonder what he was in the joint for.

I'm just making sure, but does eight hundo= Olde English 800?

With an apparent inability to spell one's own name?

I assume you can extinguish the flames simply by flushing, no?  Or does a portion of the booze continue to float atop the water?

My suitemates and I conducted a whole series of experiments along this line while living in the dorms in college.  These were performed on a urinal rather than a commode, but the concept was quite similar.

Our tests involved Ronsonol/Zippo lighter fluid (with which we also performed other flammability tests*), acetone and methyl ethyl ketone.  A roommate whose work/study job was in the chem lab was helpful in acquiring these test materials.

Our results concured with the Isosceles studies as regards lighter fluids.  As I recall (these experiements were conducted approximately 20 years ago, so memory may not exactly serve), the lighter fluid left light to moderate carbon residue on the urinal.  This carbon residue wiped off easily.

The flaming acetone test resulted in heavier carbon residue.  This residue was also easily wiped off.

The methyl ethyl ketone test gave the most dramatic results.  It produced a very heavy carbon coating over the entire urinal.  This resulted in an entirely flat black urinal, which result we referred to as the "Negative Urinal".  Further, the carbon residue proved to be highly resilient and the expirimenter's initial efforts to remove it proved unsucessful.  We were unable to undertake further efforts to remove this carbon residue because time constraints prevented further efforts at that time.  Upon our return, we discovered that the urinal had either been cleaned or replaced by the custodial staff.

Study 1 -- The effects of Ronsonol/Zippo Lighter Fluid upon various makes and model of paper airplanes thrown from a third floor balcony.

Study 2 --  The effects of Ronsonol/Zippo Lighter Fluid upon a roll of toilet paper thrown from a third floor balcony onto a second floor balcony.

Study 3 -- The effects of Ronsonol/Zippo Lighter Fluid upon a roommate when squirted into bathroom floor grout and thereby channelled under the stall wall and lit.

The booze floats but the centripetal acceleration of the water spiraling into the drain causes the island of flame to contract more and more, like a constricting pupil of flame. Please note the similarity of the flaming toilet to Sauron's Eye and you can see what the effect will be.

The flames may be extinguished by plopping the lid down, however, extinguishing the oxygen source.

I am interested in hearing more.in these mad science experiments. I will share the results of corundum-encrusting a silver-plated goblets, and resurrecting crickets from the dead with a violet wand.

I read today's strip before yesterday's and was a little bit sad to realize there was some context for the Toilet Party.
