Are You a Crusher or a Folder?:
Archive through September 27, 2000
Sparky | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 09:33 pm  Group Challenge: on the final banishment day: all crushers must fold, and all folders must crush. Zappre must...come out of the water closet and demonstrate her(?) technique to spread the word for worldwide cross-wipers. |
Sparky | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 09:35 pm  oops - Zappre is a male. Now I want to be there for THAT demonstration. |
Jombie | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 09:36 pm  See what I mean, there's LOTS of interest in TP... |
Zappre | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 09:37 pm  I am truly insulted that you would assume i'm a woman just because i'm a "slider". I am a proud male "slider", in spite of the occasional scrotal paper cut. (OK, now i'm scaring myself) |
Deni_San | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 09:38 pm  oooh. I am a crusher! Maybe I AM a lesbian afterall! Won't my husband be confused! BTW, my hubby...a dainty folder. Wow...this thread...how the once mighty have fallen. |
Sparky | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 09:41 pm  Zappre - nice response! |
Fabnsab | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 10:03 pm  Not only am I a folder, but it is a perfect square every time. You would think that I'm anal(no pun intended) but my house is a mess. As long as my TP is a perfect square, the world is right again. |
Stealth | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 10:09 pm  LOL u guys are to much! lmao ok next question : How many squares do u use? lol btw im a folder and i just start pulling n wrap it around my hand like a glove lmao! LOL |
Sparky | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 10:20 pm  Stealth, I long ago gave up on the glove technique - with my fingertips exposed. My nephew clogs the toilet with every visit to the bathroom - incredible overusage of squares (he's 16). I usually draw out about 5 or 6 squares and fold twice. (I'll be more conscious of this tonight and tomorrow morning, thank you.) |
Teemo | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 10:25 pm  Stealth! I'm a wrapper too! (After wrapping, I slide it off my hand and use it as a folder would). Glad to meet you, but let's not shake hands. |
Sparky | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 10:28 pm  I have to admit that I think the HGs are washing their hands after a folding/crushing session a lot more than they would if they thought they weren't being watched. As a male, I'll admit that I don't wash my hands EVERY time I do #1 because (1) I'm not being monitored and (2) I didn't get anything on my hands other than touching skin. (This may fall under "the diffrence between guys and gals", but I'm being honest.) Yes, I expect EWWWWW. But what guys can say they wash their hands everytime they visit a toilet? |
Katie | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:05 pm  EWWWWWWW!! |
Zappre | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:16 pm  You're supposed to wash your hands, too? |
Stealth | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:18 pm  TEEMO! Yes.. LOL i do the same thing! haha |
Katie | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:22 pm  Zappre, EWWWWWWW |
Zappre | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:28 pm  Katie: Wanna use my keyboard? hehe |
Jake | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:33 pm  *lol at all the discussions above* Hmmm.. I guess I'd say I'm both, but I'm not sure. What do you call it when ya wrap it around yer hand a couple o' times, then slide it off your hand to use it? Hubby's asleep, so I can't ask him his preference. Now, do you know what it means when you either crush or fold the TP? I hear that folders are logical and methodical... crushers are artistic and disorganized. Don't kill the messenger.. it's what I heard years ago! *laughs* |
Jake | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:35 pm  Oh, STEALTH, SPARKY and TEEMO... I just saw your posts. I do the TEEMO bit.... |
Really | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:36 pm  Well, I had wanted to get back to Wendy on how a crusher might crush...so better late than never. Just to be exact I went to the toilet roll and tried to reenact a 'crushing moment' as I too, was curious, "how exactly 'do' I crush" . The first trial I just reached over and went through the motions, but felt I wasn't being true to the actual crush technique. So I plopped down the lid, and took a seat and tried to casually act as though I were 'really' crushing. I wanted the real experience not a fake. So, basically it goes like this: one fell swoop, ahh and then a fold in half (so I guess I'm partly a folder too) then its a swirl around with a little sqeeze/crush at the end. Just enough to make be sure and clear any finger contact with the soiled area. There you have it, the fold, swirl and crush/squeeze technique. |
Zappre | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:38 pm  This entire thread comes under the heading: TOO MUCH INFORMATION!! |
Katie | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:42 pm  Zappre, NO thanks. I will use my own keyboard thank you! lol |
Zappre | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:42 pm  I keep expecting someone to admonish me: "Do you type with those hands??" |
Deni_San | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 12:12 am  Really - But don't you think that each crush is different? Its never the same crush, is it? Which lines up with the characterization of crushers as artistic people. Disorganized? No, we have more important things to do than tend to minutia. Folding? In learning that my husband is a folder made sense to me. He is more logical, mathematical mind, but I suspect he is also borderline anal about details and has waay too much time to think of folding TP a certain way. I guess it couldn't be worse than some of the other ahem "original" or non-traditional forms of toilet hygene presented to us tonight. Wrapping? I suspect that wrappers are nurturers or controllers. They may be emotional people who enjoy comfort, and would most prefer heated toilet seats. Ring true? Rmgreco - thank you for this important thread. |
Katie | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 12:42 am  Deni San, Gee I would love a heated toilet seat. Could you find me one??  |
Dlnflr | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 01:52 am  All I can say is I'm really gonna miss you guys when this show is over. You make me laugh sooooo much...it's been great therapy!!! |
