@Git Em SteveDave displays attention-grabbing vanity: I think my apartment has a Basilisk problem. You guys know anyone who's parseltongue?

jfreel

@ps61318: Yes, and the ten of us will form a club of Jewish tech nerds... I'll bring the Hamentashen.

Hectorvex

We have these things at the morgue but they're a bit wider. Not sure if I want one at home, could be usefull for disecting my cat though.

j05hu4

@Hectorvex: Another one? It's getting to be so that you can't swing a dead cat in here without hitting a fellow Red Sea Pedestrian.

Soon we'll have a minyan.

@dc-united: hooooookkkkkkkkaaaaayyyyyyyy.

I'm now doing that kind of walking-with-my-buttocks thing that always happens when someone mentions testicles and meat tenderizing mallets in the same context.

yeowich.

ps61318

@OMG! Ponies!: @mildretard:

Sounds fancy. In the end, it's just a couple of weirdos teabagging their bathroom fixtures with their pinkies in the air.

@Git Em SteveDave displays attention-grabbing vanity: As opposed to popping up the drain in the tub and snatching your junk off while you shower? I think the sink is the lesser of two evils here. That said, we need a horizontal drain for the shower.

@OMG! Ponies!: Jewish. I hit the ceremonial grape juice pretty hard sometimes.

Hectorvex

@mildretard: Easy. Just flatten them out before you dip.

Any kitchen supply store can get you one of those meat tenderizing mallets.

dc-united

I'd like to see them do that with a toilet!

kurrupt_1

@OMG! Ponies!: Yes, let's. I'll bring along my collection of handmade soaps and favorite washrag.

mildretard

@mildretard: You too? My my.

You'll have to pop by my home some time for tea cakes and light reading. Later, we can dip our genitals in the wash basins. Won't that be quite the hoot?

OMG! Ponies!

@mildretard: Just hook your toilet up to the hot instead of the cold water.

homerjay

and what happens when you yak in it?

KunjalR

Yes, and I rather enjoy dipping my testicles in a basin of warm water now and then. What about that?

mildretard

This does prevent Basilisks from coming up through the drain, so if that is a fear of yours, check the link above!

Git Em SteveDave displays attention-grabbing vanity

@Hectorvex: Are you shanty Irish or lace-curtain Irish?

Meanwhile, how does it handle shaving scum? I'm hobbitish and a hairy bastard. My sink accrues a hefty amount of shaving scum. While this is great around the Yak Shaving Day, it's not so good the rest of time.

So what about us hairy bastards?

OMG! Ponies!

@ Kaiser-Machead's Apostrophe's Power: Who wants that? Perhaps the product could be marketed as an "IT" deterrent.

Hectorvex

"The Axolute sink takes minimalism to such extremes that it completely does away with the drainpipe."

then...

"The secret is patented "Horizontal Integrated Siphon" technology, which is just a fancy way of saying a horizontal drain."

So it there is still a drainpipe underneath. I think you mean to say, there's no drain hole at the bottom of the sink.

ripfire

@jayhawk11: I agree with Buick. Also, there's not nearly enough room for a murderous clown to drag you through. Drainpipe this ain't.

Kaiser-Machead's Apostrophe's Power

What if I want a sink full of water? What happens when you stick your hands under the running water and it starts to splash horizontally? a normal sink addresses both of these common situations. This is pretty but not at all practical.

homerjay

I prefer a sink I can piss into when I'm drunk.

Hectorvex

@jayhawk11: Not quite, as there does not appear to be room for my face to fit in the side with my tongue hanging out of my mouth.

Also, I foresee much splashing.

92BuickLeSabre

So it operates on the same principle as the gutter in a street?

I'll take two.

jayhawk11

I want that, it looks soo cool!

@mildretard: Don't just leave us hanging!!!

sfokevin

@kaiser: More than just a ritual for expressing erotic dominance, the basin-dip followed by a lavender lather serves a very utilitarian purpose. It will leave your danglers smooth, buttery, and warm.

I have a really great graphic to go along with this comment, but alas I have reached the limits of my html expertise on this one. No humorous chortle for you, sir.

mildretard

@OMG! Ponies!: I think Simchat Torah is a much better drunken holiday. Walk around with an extremely holy script and at the end, drink a glass of Kedem/Manishevitz, then do it six more times! THAT'S a test of coordination and strength if I've ever seen one. No stumbling!!

qbrad

@OMG! Ponies!: Oh yeah, Purim is the drunkest holiday for me too. Except those fucking ra'ashan drive me nuts when I'm half hungover. Damn kids.

Hectorvex

@ps61318: I'm pretty sure we have a minyan every post here. Go away idolators!

qbrad

@ps61318:

Would it have eased your pain had I suggested a George Foreman grill instead?

dc-united

@Hectorvex: Dude. That Kedem will MESS YOU UP!

But come Purim. Oh yeah, I drink until I can't tell the curses of Haman from the blessings of Mordechai. Hashem may have put pork off-limits, but he commands me to get blasted once a year.

We won't talk about how my chometz comes back from my gentile friends half drunk.

OMG! Ponies!

I love this post's comments.

William Hook

@codemagic: Pity. The former is often more apt than the latter.

Kaiser-Machead's Apostrophe's Power

@jfreel: Ugh... Harry Potter jokes.

Hectorvex

Ok, got it. 'Laying some pipe' is out, 'horizontal Mambo' is in. Updated my catchphrase book. Thanks Giz!

codemagic

@ripfire: No, there is no drainpipe. It just recycles the same gallon of water indefinitely. LOL

But seriously, when it eventually gets clogged with beard trimmings and the like, how do you snake it? Lame. Clogged for life.

wiggatron

@Hectorvex: @qbrad: @ps61318:

Two things need research - pigs that bring up their cud (rendering them Kosher) and whiskey not made with one of the five grains or the four kitniyot grains. Seder with a good malted whiskey would really help the dinner move along.

OMG! Ponies!

@mildretard: Hear hear! I find an early afternoon basin-dip to be just the thing to help me over the proverbial hump during my day. A refreshing basin-dip at about 3:00 in the p.m. is incomparable and when done right, puts one in the best mood for High Tea.

Master Robert, I highly recommend dousing your scrotum in the sink with a healthy bit of warm water. It will do wonders for your mood and demeanor.

Cheers fellows.

OMG! Ponies!

This is misleading because sinks must have a drainpipe. The only other alternative is evaporation which would leave the dirt in the sink.

@Carmen: Lean Mean A Mans Dream Sex Machine: I usually sit in my sink when I put on my makeup or do my hair.

I think you mean when you do your man...

AmplifiedHustler

@Carmen: Lean Mean A Mans Dream Sex Machine: Honey, you're doing it wrong.

OMG! Ponies!

Now this doesn't look fun. I usually sit in my sink when I put on my makeup or do my hair.
Now how am i going to bathe and get ready at the same time?!

Carmen: Lean Mean A Mans Dream Sex Machine

@wiggatron: Shhhhh! We're all about awesome design here. Away with your demands of practicality!

bluemonq

But if you sit in your sink aren't you facing the wrong way? O_0

BiZarRroBALlmeR

@BiZarRroBALlmeR: Is there a RIGHT way to sit in your sink?

lankysob

So it can have water in it. But what about shavings, hair, or any other filths that are common in and are the purpose of bathroom sinks? And if it clogs, what are your options other than cutting it open? Yeah, this seems less useful than if the water just fell into an open pipe.

justhesh

So, it DOES have a drain pipe. I've just lost all trust for Sean Fallon.

FritzLaurel

@ps61318: I plan to stay far far away from the Schlivovitz... Tastes like sweet jet fuel. Potato vodka is a wonderful option during the pesach.
As for the Quinoa - We ashkenaz don't have anything that the Rabbis deem inappropriate. The Sfardim though - they get the rice and beans that our ancestors called manna.
You'd have to get a huge committee together to get the quinoa approved. Just to remind you, peanuts are ok, but peanut oil isn't?? Used to be fine, but the rules changed. Politics!

qbrad

@dc-united: No, but thank you.

ps61318

@OMG! Ponies!: Pigs chewing their cud is supposed to really happen after the End of Days - when Moshiach (the Messiah, the Savior, Paul Muad'dib, whatever) comes. 'Til then, pork off. No, that sounds wrong, I'm sorry.

As for the latter: There are thre common hard alcoholic beverages consumed on Passover: Schlivovitz (plum brandy/engine degreaser), vodka made from sugar cane juice, and potato vodka. You could technically drink tequila if it were really 100% agave, which none of them are.

(You can tell I spend way too much time thinking about this.)

Then there is Quinoa. It looks like a grain. It acts like a grain. It is used like a grain. But it ain't a grain. Whether or not it is fermentable is to be determined. Look it up and let's get cracking! Quinoa brewskies for all the Jewskies!!!!

@qbrad: @justhesh: Ummmmmm, hammmmmmantashen. And Simchas Torah is awesome drunk or sober, but there is far less puking among the young men when sober.

ps61318

@OMG! Ponies!: Hey I'm pretty small, I can easily fit in a sink!
I don't sit in the sink...I bend OVER a sink and put my lipstick on. Sometimes he wants it more than I do, but hell I give it to the kid!

@AmplifiedHustler:

CarmenLovesHerNewCanonDSLR

@qbrad: Naw, that's the beauty part - Quinoa is ok for both sphardim and ashkenazim! slipped right through the rabbinic cracks!

Peanuts are no good for ashkenzim, btw. Just for sfardim.

ps61318

pretty zen

urbanturban666

@ps61318: Wait, I'm confused. I drink tequila that says "100% Blue Agave" all the time. Are you saying they're not really 100%? Or are you just not spending enough on your tequila?

selianth

@ripfire: @OMG! Ponies!:

I'm very glad I don't share an office bathroom with either of you.

colintoal

Really.. do we need to keep doing this ? Re-inventing the sink to make it less convenient ? Can we put a toilet at the top of a 40 foot pole next maybe ?

colintoal

DRAINPIPES ARE DECADENT!!!
