Trashcan for Toilet reading: Hot or Not?

Hot!

I once heard that if you're using the toliet long enough to read something you need more fiber or you should go when 'the need' is a bit more pressing...

oh yeah, shiny, but not hot.

I guess I meant Hot but I'd never actually have it.

Here's another one.

Shotgun shell chair. Hot or Not?

By the way, just don't have a hot ass when sitting on the shotgun shell chair ;)

Fun selections, Jabber! Here's one with a little more feminine slant - HOT or NOT - Chair shaped like a high heel shoe?

Callie, do you work for www.brightandbold.com?

omg, no way, that's just gross. but i'm vehemently opposed to reading on the loo so i have a heavy bias.

Not. I would like to see this in an actual room. I've seen this before, cheaper and always out of perspective of a room around it. It would probably be fine in a teenager room or young adult.

The Shotgun chair...it said fully loaded, does that mean with blanks or live ammo? If your place caught on fire and this chair began to explode and wounded the fire-(wom)men, could you be sued. Would it be recklessness -- does it come with a disclaimer resolvig the manufacturer/designer from any and all potential problems that could happen? Just rambling thoughts...

Nice line VickyA I'm so telling that to all my guy friends who insist "its a guy thing"

Okay guys and gals. For those who have a hankering for a DIY project, you can get this nifty 0.04 inch steel cube and sledgehammer it to something that might have a remote resemblance of a chair. All it will cost you is a measly $6k (sledgehammer not included).

If sledgehammering away $6k from your pocket book is not your cup of tea then feast your eyes on your very own customizable welcome mat. You can construct your very own welcome message to your guest or bill collector.

Just introduced at Dutch Design Week, Angela Jansen and friends has introduced the very first levitating lamp. They haven't or won't divulge the mechanics behind it, but hey it's definitely going to be a conversation piece in your bachelor apartment and isn't that what we need more in the world, conversations.

I'm with AMP and I call shenanigans! When almost all of a user's posts pimp a certain website, one does get suspicious. Hot or not? Not hot.

After I installed my new ceiling, I sent the company some tips on installing it for the part of their site that has such things, and they put it up. See?

They only used the one photo where you could tell the most about their pattern, which made sense, but if you want to see more pictures of how it turned out, it's here:

I thought this page was supposed to be for "TIPS", not for mostly useless, silly image posts

Wow "Daily Nuance," I didn't know AT appointed you to be the arbiter of "valid tips." Congrats! But I would definitely start complaining to Maxwell then because one of the "silly image posts" was posted on AT Tech a day after it was posted here. I believe it has something to do with a floating lamp.
