you can't make this stuff up

this post (and its associated poll explained below) is dedicated to our new neighbors and the fantastic photo (seen below) now in my possession as a result of their decision to place their extracted green toilet on the front porch for the last two weeks.
 
at first we thought it was out there for some kind of disposal to pick up. but after multiple weeks have gone by, we're under the assumption that they must be using it as a bird bath? a flowering pot? we're not sure.

actually visit our blog if you're just reading this over email and vote on what YOU think its being used for. the poll is located on the left-hand side of the screen. if one of the choices there doesn't work for you, just click on the "Comment" link beneath this post and "write in" your own idea.

you can't make this stuff up.....

    My grandparents had the classic "Bathtub full of Flowers" at their cabin for many years... kind of the same, right?

    If this person's spouse's defacations have a similar oflactory affect as my husband's, then it's a no-brainer on why the toilet is outside.

    the interesting thing is that the seat is ALWAYS down, so i'm thinking that this COULD be a bowel-driven decision...

    here is my sister's really boring comment that she couldn't figure out how to post herself so she had me do it for her......

    my comments BACK to her are in brackets []


    "I believe the people have it out there for this very reason [do you? really?], to see how much attention they draw [interesting]. I'm sure they didn't expect a blog about it [no shit], but they would definitely feel like their mission has been accomplished. [well if not then, certainly after dropping a deuce in an outdoor toilet]"

    thanks for the comment heather. great stuff.

    I'm going to go with, e. Too Lazy.

    So, are you going to knock on their door to ask at some point? We need to get the real answer now! And I really don't put it past you to ask! :)

    I would guess they are simply providing "options" for:

    the homeless ....

    or little ones in the neighborhood who are being potty trained (so they DON'T have to go inside to do their "business"!)
