This post is dedicated to my niece Cortney of Living & Loving in California because she is having a Blogging Brain Fart...and because what I'm about to post just doesn't get any more random than this ;)
This week while reading the newsletter from Apartment Therapy San Francisco this post and house tour quickly grabbed my attention: Mary Roach's Nest: The Curious Charm of a Writer's Pad. I think I was drawn to it originally because I love seeing how other creative people live...but once I started the house tour and got a glimpse of the upstairs bathroom as you come up the hall stairs...I was REALLY curious!
Okay...do you see what I see?
Yep it's a bathroom...but it's not the window and the beautiful woodwork OR the built-ins! Nope...JUST back-up and check out that top shelf in the bookcase ;)
AT FIRST...I just didn't get it? I was scratchin' my head and asking myself...why on earth do they have BM Brown Bread in their bathroom? The Brown Bread caught my attention because we always have B&M Brown Bread in our kitchen cupboards and I've blogged about it before because it's not something that everyone has heard of before. AND heck...now I'm seeing BM Beer? Let's get a closer look ;)
AWWW...now I get it...do you? See the little round key tag "DIOXIDAN in the P.M. for a B.M. in the A.M.". I've never heard of Dioxidan before and had to google it to find out more:
Doxidan Tablet
Generic Name: bisacodyl(bis AK oh dil)
Brand Names: Alophen, Bisac-Evac, Bisco-Lax, Carters Little Pills, Correctol, Doxidan Tablet, Dulcolax Laxative, Evac-U-Gen, Ex-lax Ultra, Feen-A-Mint, Fleet Bisacodyl, Gen Lax, Gentlax Tablet, Gentle Laxative, Laxative Gentle Suppositories, Magic Bullet, Modane, Veracolate
The entire shelf is a homage to bowel movements!
The white asian packet is for "ShamPoo" and I can't imagine what those "Cream Collons" taste like! This brings a whole new view to collecting souvenirs when you travel abroad...lol Obviously Apartment Therapy got a kick out of it as well...seeing as how they are the ones who included all these photos for the house tour ;)
What is making your scratch your head lately? Things that make you go hmmmm...that's what we're talkin' about here!
Somethings are just too funny not to be shared...and don't you forget that Cortney...your blog posts are some of the funniest I've read in blogland ;)
Fondly, Roberta
ha! I had one of those keychains when I was a kid. Wish I still had it. What a hoot!! LOL!

I got one of those key chains in the early 80's from a local pharmacy while picking up Meds for my Mom. It was so funny I left it on my keychain for like 15 years on my key chain. What you don't see is there is a big smiley face on the flip side of of the key chain. It finally wore out and fell off a few years ago. I miss it. It was the source of much conversation and hilarity. I would love to have another one. By the way the product really worked, just be sure you were not in traffic when the BM in the AM kicked in!!!!!!

I don't think I laughed this hard in awhile...especially in a room by myself...at first I was like what the heck they really like to snack when they are on the toilet..."strange" but Ok!! To each their own I guess...Than as you got closer I was like "WTH"...and the laughter and tears started....Uhhhh!!! Thanks, Roberta!! I needed that :)

Hahahaha! That is too funny! I enjoy good "clean" bathroom humor and that hits the nail on the head. Thanks so much for the dedication, I needed a little motivation and inspiration and you've done it!

Funny.....the tune "Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz, oh what a relief it is" came into my head! LOL

Too, too funny! Such a funny sense of humor and decor-um! LOL So funny that you are posting about BM and brown bread - sent the lady at the Bloom market searching for it the other day. They are now carrying items that Hannafords carries in their market so I thought perchance they might have it. Poor lady had no idea what it was and when I told her it came in a can she looked at me like I was nuts - LOL!. Any-who....they don't carry it. I'm still looking but haven't found it in a while.
