I was amazed that my post AM I WRONG, BUT AREN'T COMMODE COVERS A THING OF THE PAST ?? and then the sequel I Have Found The Ultimate Toilet Seat Cover! Mary Lou...this is for you! HA!! by Sandy Ridgway received so many comments. HOWEVER, today I receive an e-mail from someone named Ken that said that he was "googling" toilet, commode covers and found this post...I am now INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS for my commode cover comments..My only question is: am I now and forever to be known for commode covers ? Is this my 15 MINUTES OF FAME ??? Is this why I spent 6 years in college ? Are my children, grand children and friends going to be proud ? I decided to "google" commode covers and guess what ??? When the screen comes up it is #7 on the list. I was in shock !!! It just goes to show you that AR is everywhere !!! ( Maybe I need to not post to "Public" ??? But hey, someone noticed !!! Thought that I would share some of the items that were shown....You will get a kick out of these...

These are actually for sale !!!

Mary Lou ~ I don't think your career is going down the "toilet", so to speak, if that's what you are getting at! ; )

Mary Lou, unfortunately in this internet age, where everything we say and do is to be found somewhere, I think your commode seat cover blog is going to be visible for a long, long time. You may as well get out the tiara!

I can't stop laughing! Guess I might have "helped" your reputation just a little! HA! It was just that I happened to see the ones at Penneys the day after your first post. Anyway, see what 6 years of college can do. You really are a testiment to anyone that's considering all those student loans. I do believe you will get even more then 15 minutes of fame for this one. Am thinking that your children might act like they don't know you though! p.s. I love the blue & white country looking set!

Mary Lou...Your toilet seat story " bowled me over "! Sorry...I couldn't help it. It's your 15 minutes of fame so make it work! You could do an entire seminar on How NOT to Stage a Commode.

Cheers!

queen toilet seat Oh No! Mary Lou, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it appears the Queen of the Commode has already been taken. Don't you just LOVE Ebay?!

Mar 30, 2008 03:20 PM

Gina, I am now heartbroken...just when I thought that I had made it....well someone flushed the toilet on me !!! LOL Love that pink and white cover....

Mar 30, 2008 03:32 PM

It comes in Black and White also...shall I order one as a consolation prize??? Hang in there Mary Lou...you are far too brilliant for just the Loo.

Cheers and Hugs!

Elaine, I think being associated with a chicken is better than a commode...you got me on this one !!! However, Queen is a pretty good thing to be....How do you like the commode cover that Gina found on ebay ? Well gotta run and have my photo put on a cover, that Queen is NOT going to out-do me...No way!!
