Random Thoughts....

Wohoo one third of my military service is now behind and I'm going to be a member of a mortar squad which we have two in our company. Spirit in our 11 person group is good and the education is cool.. until we start running with those mortars :D
 
Eastern vs Western toilet:

Western Toilet:
Pros:
1. Comfortable
2. Built-in flushing system
3. Toilet freaking paper.
4. Can play angry birds on your ipod/iphone while having the worst or best shit of your life.
5. Can masturbate to internet porn on your android phone in comfort.

Cons:
1. Some toilets not built big enough for big people
2. Apparently not as good for your colon and for easy passing as an eastern toilet.

Eastern Toilet:
Pros:
1. Good for colon (don't remember the explanation).
2. Good leg exercise as you have to squat.
3. Easy to construct (Step 1. Dig hole, Step 2. Shit)... or if you're in a home (Step 1. Dig hole, Step 2. Put porcelain toilet-like thing over hole that allows easy sliding of pee and poo, Step 3. Shit)

Cons:
1. It's a fucking hole in the ground with porcelain footpads...
2. You have to use a bucket and a mug to flush
3. No freaking toilet paper (even though I took 3 rolls from home just for the usage here, I can't do the whole left hand ass wiping shit).
4. Cannot use electronics for fear of dropping them
5. You have to fucking squat...ow
6. Now this just happened to me since I had to take my last shit here in my dad's bro's place. I'm crouched down and ready to go for it because I've been eating lentils for lunch and dinner and having almost no water for the last 4 days, so I've been dying to shit proper. As I crouch and I feel that tube of poo coming down... a mosquito comes and lands on me. Not on my shoulder, not on my leg... no... my DICK. OF ALL THE GODDAMNED PLACES!!!!! So I'm sitting there pooing and slapping my dick with my left hand.

So lesson of the day is: Western toilet > Eastern toilet. And I wanna go home to my birthplace. They have a western toilet in their household. And air conditioning. And it's more fun. And I can speak the language.
 
AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA

LurkerPatrol is my favourite internet indian in the entire world!
 
I hate being sick.

So how did that thing with your nephew (or cousin, can't remember) go?

Also, while I'm still here, where is it in India you are visiting and what stopped you from mildly suggesting to go for a hotel instead of staying at your Uncle's because it doesn't sound particularly pleasant.

:rofl:

Squat toilets ARE THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD. (shudders)

It's a good thing that most people in China are using Western toilets these days, even if the plumbing means you can't dispose of the tissue paper by putting in the toilet without it flooding. The house where I was born still has a squat toilet. I was stayed there this year, and I had to use it.

...never again...

At least you guys have the option of standing when you want to pee.

That's the worst thing about going camping in places where there are no toilet facilities. Dig your hole behind some tree so that no-one can see you, pull down them hiking pants, crouch and try not to get any pee on them by either taking them off entirely or awkwardly holding them forwards out of the way.....um TMI. I hated school camps at secondary school level for a reason: my school really loved the 'roughing it' approach. GAH! :yucky:
 
I just don't understand the concept of a squat toilet. In Singapore, there are Western and Eastern toilets and hoses to wash your bum out. Thanks Thomas Crapper for making life much easier.
 
TMI! :lol:

Grab onto a sturdy low-hanging branch to brace yourself. Not recommended if you're near a cactus.
 
I have never had to defecate into an 'eastern' toilet so I am grateful for that, in fact the only time I had to use one was in this restaurant in Tokyo (don't know why they still had those since the one at the hotel and everywhere else we went had western toilets). My Dad's old place in China which I went to when I was about six, had western toilets too.
 
And I thought outhouses were bad.
 
I'd rather deal with the redbacks than the eastern type.
 
What is a redback?
 
Earlier this morning I ate at a Waffle House for the first time... right after going to the farmers market. I guess I'm some sort of yuppie redneck.
 
Observation of the day - High fever makes you delusional, irritated and makes you unable to sleep.

I'm genuinely scared of the idea of a Funnel web spider, a nasty bad tempered prick that goes out of its way to attack you, deliberately hiding in boots and dark places to set up ambush attacks. Sometimes it likes to play dead by floating around in a swimming pool for several hours, and when you go to rescue it, it wakes up and bites you.
