*Corn cobs, Sears Roebuck catalog, mussel shell, newspaper, leaves, sand- United States
*Water and your left hand, India
*Pages from a book, British Lords
*Coconut shells in early Hawaii
*Lace was used by French Royalty
*Public Restrooms in Ancient Rome- A sponge soaked in salt water, on the end of a stick

[P_chan]

I only use diamond encrusted TP. Everything I use must have diamonds encrusted into them.

[ja_Patriot]

When I saw the thread created by Muku, I thought - oh no, not about that guy again.

A veggie shredder TP roll?? ROFL.

Oh, yeah!!!!:first::first::first:

He used to bore the hell out of me with his long posts. He wrote almost like TP, and he went on, and on, and on...:D

I spent almost a whole week on this guy (as Habu ).

Tried to keep the conversation in accordance to what I thought, that he wanted to hear. At one point, I had decided to post a message, sounding like I was really pissed off. Let that go for a while, and tried to blame the incident on the trackball that I was using. And he imploded.:D:D:D

He called me a liar, and used a lot of words that were probably not meant to be read on a public forum. When I came home from work the next day, I fell out of my chair (and yes, it actually did break) while reading his response.

I think that you had intervened at that point, telling me that he's a nice guy, so the conversation pretty much went back to normal.

But he kept posting, and things went back to normal. So how do you get rid of this guy, once and for all?

You keep the conversation going, we're all friends again.

Took a gamble, let him say what he had to say. Then, when everyone was comfortable again, I zapped him with something so stupid that I knew was just send him into the stratosphere, and followed that up with, "This is a Habu Strike!!!".

He lasted for a few days, finally gave up, and was never heard from again.

I guess that he figured out what happened after a few days. But he never came back. Or if he did, it was under a different name.

It actually was a "Habu Strike", and nobody on the threads at the time saw it coming. Kind of proud of that, but I promise not to do it again.

So maybe it was "Steven", that I saw over at the Globe&Anchor?

Still, good times. :old:

I think I would rather use one of those before using my hand:w00t:

[swindland]

I wonder how you would wipe your a$$ with coconut shells. I'm guessing that would hurt since the shell is hard and rough hahaahahahah.

[Fonze]

When I was 7 we visited my grandparents in Mexico and they wiped with corn on the cobs. I remember my mom brought TP though. They lived in a small village along the mountains with plenty of corn.

[NaNaKo]

I've always heard that Germany was an environment-conscious country. Two years ago I had a stopover there. The toilet paper in the airport public restroom was green and rough. I always wondered what that TP was recycled from... :scared:
