POOP

I hate it when I'm prepping my toilet at a public restroom...

Toilet paper raft...check
Toilet paper covering the seat....check
Pants unzip...check
Sitting....check

Some guy runs in and sits right next to me while I'm about to drop a bomb....damnit.

I'm just a lone pooper kinda guy. Guess this would have been better in the OFT section, but alas I thought I should share my tendencies to dislike pooping when another fellow pooper is only 4 feet away from with my new fellow South Central brothers.
 
what does the raft do? help cushion the logs when they fall?

I don't bother making the seat cover anymore. My mom used to make me do that when I was little. It just takes too much effort. The slightest breeze makes the paper fall off before you get a chance to sit.

I also don't like the idea of those paper personal seats they have in the wall dispenser.
So far as I can tell, there's a bit that is supposed to be inserted into the toilet, but is still connected to the seat portion in order to take the whole thing down when you flush.
I have issue with that. What if while I'm seated, the inserted part starts absorbing enough water to travel upward to the seat part?
Wet seat! gross!

I just swipe a wad of paper over the seat to be sure it's dry before sitting down.
No diseases received yet.

My biggest pet peeve is a paper dispenser that's hard to reach, or one that doesn't unroll the paper properly and makes you rip one sheet at a time.
I swear I spend more time in public restrooms due to stubborn paper dispensers than any other activity that goes on in there. :bah:

OMG. Those are the best ever. And I never figured that the flap is there to pull it all in during the flush. I think it's to keep my junk from resting on the inside of the dirty bowl. But, I guess not everyone has that problem :crazy: . Also, it has never been flushed away during courtesy flushes. And it's not a Bounty towel. It will not absorb enough to get the whole seat wet. That's silly.

Nope, mine touches the water. :laugh:

I've always believed in the method of using the non-wiping hand to constitute some sort of platform to cup my junk from contact with the porcelain.

Raft= wad up toilet paper prior to delivery of package as to dissipate back splash. Back splash into the route of delivery is never a good feeling. Try it. You'll love it, I guarantee it.

Seriously, what kind of consistency and velocity are you creating here??? I've rarely had any backsplash, and when I did, it was usually due to the runs. I don't think a raft would do much of anything to prevent backsplash there.

Since I have recently reviewed a few papers on endo-gastro. studies, I will try to be as descriptive as possible:

To tackle your first inquiry, consistency: we must first determine a points system to descriptively annotate the range of consistencies. Let's assign, a system where 1, would constitute hard stool (rabbit pellets); 2, firm (lumpy); 3, curd form (eg, cottage cheese); 4, soft (pudding, preferably chocolate); 5, loose/liquid (cream of celery soup); and 6, thin (Lubbock water or Stazi after a can of Vegemite).

I would say at terminal velocity, the consistency would have been within the range of 1-2 points using my system, with a velocity of roughly 0.1m/sec.

If we are talking about diarrhea, or 5-6 points (please review my system once again if you forgot what 5/6 constitutes) using my system, a make-shift tissue raft is not going to keep you afloat, figuratively speaking.
 
I'm doing the MS150 this weekend (Houston to Austin). I never eat protein bars (Clif bars, etc.), but I have some that I will try for the first time this weekend during the ride.

The point? Eating protein bars, exercise and port-a-potties. MMMMM!!! Should be interesting.
