methinks the Mayor has some mass S&M fantasy in mind.

Is there an equivalent of Godwin for what Klivian just did out of nowhere?

/Backwater valve also known as backflow prevention valve
/People should look into it
/Required in many areas
/Install one anyways

There is an error in the headline. A bidet does not function the same way as a toilet. It is impossible to upgrade one to the other. How will the citizens dispose of their biological waste? The moderators should be more careful when greenlighting articles.

You know, I've never quite understood the draw of a bidet... I mean, what's so great about them? Wet ass?

/uncultured swine
//Never used one.

wouldn't want to properly fund the military or reduce taxes. gotta use as much of those taxable dollars as we can, city/state/federal.

Fecal plume, anyone?

would be useful if u had mudbutt except in this case it might do the opposite of what you want to accomplish

The ones built into high tech toilet seats are nice, they even have a drier function. Very much better than toilet paper when you've got a stomach bug.

For those who don't understand the purpose of a Bidet - When you use toilet paper, no matter how many times you wipe it, even if you use the whole roll, there will still be small bits and pieces of poop sticking up there, which are only removed when you take a shower (and assuming you do, and assuming that you clean your ass in the shower).

Using a bidet, you use water to properly dispose of any such bits and pieces. Basically, it's the clean way of doing it, instead of the lazy way.

I'm wiping my ass right now, so yadda yadda yadda ...

Oh, I thought Subby was being serious.

/ Would love to have a bidet
// Great on the ol' roids!

Obviously you did not RTFA

Yes... but... it's cold and awkward.

Whats the point of a bidet?

for an answer, think of this:

If you got some shiat on your elbow, would you just rub it off with a paper towel and leave it at that?

/the more you know

Bronner's is grotesque. The first time I saw it, I imagined it was the bastard love child vomited forth from a sexual union of Jesus and Santa.

It's the first thing I think of when I hear "Frankenmuth", also Zehnder's chicken.

oh i totally agree. But if it wasn't for christmas and chicken Frankenmuth wouldn't exist.

and yeah Bronner's had this weird Jesus+Santa duality going on.

captainorbaggio - Last time we were there we noticed an Irish creche done in green which featured Irish characters for the angels, wisemen, etc. and a Goofytm figure that looked as if he was killing toy soldiers, which we dubbed "Homicidal Christmas Goofy". Then we ate some very tasty fried chicken.

Don't forget the Bavarian Inn (new window).

/yes, I already know who else liked Bavarian Inns.

 
Somacandra [TotalFark] 2008-02-10 09:41:01 PM  
Yeah, but where else can you get a Black guy dressed in Bavarian clothing (complete with Lederhosen) who asks you:

"Would you like a refill on your chicken?"

/Loves Frankenmuth

Let's not forget the $1 beers at Tiffany's in Frankenmuth!

That story should prompt the locals to greet each other with, "Bidet, mate!"

once got a b.j. while in a Frankenmuth parking lot- in the middle of the day. Got a little nervous when the horse-drawn buggy ride passed in back of me.

Do bidets really do the job completely? Just curious.
