The Lost Lowdown

This is perhaps one of the funniest, weirdest topics ever discussed on this podcast. Ironically when Justin said something along the lines of "I LOVE overflowing toilets" the water I had been drinking erupted from my mouth in laughter.

Yeh Justin, I'm sorry, but that's a weird thrill you have there.

I do love a good spit take. But not an overflowing toilet. Maybe an overflowing sink if i didnt have to clean up

i have the feeling that this controversy will divide our once happy family into two camps. so if you want to live, you better go with claude.

You have three choices: You can run, you can hide, or you can DIE.

I wasn't laughing at Justin for his opinions, I was laughing at the discussion.

I'm with Justin on this one, and I really appreciate his fine defense on the subject - even though his excitement teetered on that of a dog that gets so excited when its master comes home it pees on the floor! An overflowing toilet or sink for you, I suspect, is like a pot of milk bubbling up and over on the stove for me. Though it's a mess to clean up, there is something about that instant of overflowing, that moment of barrier breaking - that it does seem like it should stop and contain itself and settle down, but then POW it's over - that is exhilarating on all levels!

Close, I am Canadian - we have to boil the milk this time of year to thaw it out...though I did take "English" in university, and am of Scottish decent (thus Mutton-ish) so maybe I'm an honourary Brit, who knows! Anyway, try the milk thing - it'll blow your mind. You just put the stove on high and wait...and WHOOSH!!! it's like some magician hidden in the pantry turned a breathmint into a pillow. I just LOVE it!

I'm not a psychologist, but I would content that getting a thrill out of objects breaking barriers is indicative of a certain kind of personality. Like overflowing liquids somehow do something the person wishes they could do. This, of course, isn't a judgment, as we all have strange likes and dislikes, most of which we can blame our parents for.

I'm not a psychologist, but I would contend that this is the most amazing comparison I have ever heard. You, Joni Mitchell, and universal health care. I'll have to reevaluate my northern neighbors.

Yeah, I think it's kind of a rebellion thing. We're not supposed to like things that break the barrier or don't "conform to the rules." lol That said, I'm with Camp Claude. It's a more sanitary camp!

Lol! Exactly! Our camp is very sanitary. We don't like messes in this camp. Camp Clean!

That's a real tongue twister.
Try and say "Claude's Clean Camp" fast.

An LLD classic! Can't believe I never replied to this... I stand by everything I said, though I remember none of it!
