A Flush By Any Other Name….

The "Purist Hatbox" toilet by Kohler retails for $4,059.95. I think they call it that because when customers hear how much it costs, they tell the salesman to "go #$!!! in your hat!"

Now I know I’ll do absolutely anything to get out of painting the bathroom.

Instead of painting this morning I found myself searching the web for ratings on toilet bowls. Yes, that’s right: toilet bowls.

It started innocently enough: I dropped one of the kids off at school, came home and changed into my painting clothes but then sat down at the laptop. My reasoning: it was too early to start painting and I needed to search the web to hopefully finish shopping for the bathroom remodeling project.

And nearly two hours later, I’m still not painting the bathroom. Instead I’m reading reviews on toilets with names like “Champion,” “Titan,” “The Complete Solution,” “Cadet-3,” and “Memoirs.”

Who comes up with these names?

And, oh, in case you’re wondering: the “Champion 4” by American Standard was the top pick by Consumer Reports, offering “power, quietness, and thorough bowl-cleaning”: all the characteristics of a true winner!
