Don't tell anybody, but after I build my new house, I am going to rip out the toilets after inspection and install 5 gallon flushers smuggled in from Canada.

A $250 Toto will leave you wanting for nothing else. Flushes like a champ, quiet, and a large water surface "target" area. And will swallow up anything that would fit in the Holland Tunnel.

I'm a man. The world is my toilet...

We call them MARTA elevators here in Atlanta,
the home of the origional Waterless/Flushless toilet.

"Don't tell anybody, but after I build my new house, I am going to rip out the toilets after inspection and install 5 gallon flushers smuggled in from Canada."

I'll help cover for you, man. But doesn't Canada have a socialist toilet policy?

"...after I build my new house, I am going to rip out the toilets after inspection and install 5 gallon flushers smuggled in from Canada."

Try the Kohler Cimarron Comfort Height 4340. If you don't stand up quick enough after you flush, it'll suck you down the drain! About $400, but I got tired of sticking a plunger down the crapper.

BTW, 1.6 gal per flush.

In Virginia, we call 'em trees...

We call them fenceposts in Texas.

We call em tires in Jersey.

In Atlanta, we call 'em homeless people.

[Lazamataz]

HEY!

Stop speaking for Atlanta when I'm busy speaking for Atlanta.

"It's as benign as a sink when it's kept up,"

Key phrase: "when it's kept up." As it usually isn't, it ends up being very stinky and dirty.

Thank goodness I moved out to the hinterlands of
Villa Rica. It's Soooooooooo nice and peaceful out here.

You have my sincere sympathies.

[Lazamataz]

We call em homeless in Pittsburgh.

I hate anyone who comes up with my joke before I do.

Men never flush urinals. Our company had to install automatic flush valves because the men's rooms smelled like unmaintained outhouses in August.

[Lazamataz]

Hotlanta ain't so bad.

Not to a former Noo Yawka.

Lye worrks good for the tough jobs.

[Corin Stormhands]

Men never flush urinals.

Correction: uncivilized, slovenly men never flush urinals.

Here in Houston, there's a larger problem with Mexican toilet habits.

After going number two and performing the requisite cleanup, many of the guys refuse to flush the paper. Either it goes into a wastebasket beside the toilet, or it goes on the floor beside the toilet.

Either way - eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww !

Welcome South Brother.
Try to get out to the country.

Dave Mathews Band: "We don't need no stinking urinals."

Try to get out to the country.

I was, for a while. Winder, GA.

Man, them country gals sure ...... entertain a guy.

BTW, 1.6 gal per flush. I don't WANT new technology! We will be installing a well. We do not CARE about water usage from toilets. This part of the country has more water than we know what to do with.

I don't WANT a loud pressure-based toilet. (That'll scare my 1 year old from toilet training for good!)
I don't WANT a 1.6 g./flush

I just want a simple commode that uses good ol' H2O to get the job done. If I cannot find a 5 gallon flusher, I might settle for a 3.5er.

I want the government out of my bathroom!!
