Just getting starting!

So excited to be a part of this. Had a busy Thanksgiving with my mom in town. Ready to hit the ground running. Hope everyone else is getting along fine with their decorating of the toilet seat.

Georgetown Delaware "Seat of Justice"

Thanksgiving & the "Seat of Justice"


Saw my first Snowflake of the season today. Perfect. 24 November, Thanksgiving Eve.
Picked up my Father's ring in the town Circle & was amazed at my Good Fortune...
My Father, David Louis Ruge was a simple man with an earthy sense of humour. He loved his newspaper & very long stretches of "private" time in our families bathroom. We spanned several generations in that brownstone; Great Grandmother, Grandmother, Grandfather, Father, Sister & myself. (Not to mention the endless hordes of relatives, friends, & guests malingering endlessly)
As you might imagine, this meant competition was fierce for the singular sensation of Go. Because of the intense demand, Power & Mystery surrounded that one room more than perhaps any other in our Home. You could say that the reason I now seek the Perfect Throne myself is due to those many years in Exile awaiting my turn to Reign.
My search manifested itself early on, by the age of 8, I had amassed a fairly extensive vocabulary of local & not so local restaurants, hotels, office buildings, bars, or any other fine establishment that had it's own private necessary room. It became a quest for me to find the perfect place to rest my will & become at ease with the magnificent duty that was mine. Assume the Throne. Destiny, Destiny there's no other way for me...I'd mumble to myself as my eyes rolled by in my head & I fumbled for the Sacred Charmin Parchment that would wipe away all doubt that this was indeed My Throne, My Destiny...

Thanks for Your Time, I gotta go...

A Day Off in Maine

Yes folks, I had a day off. I woke up, same time as usual, early, wondering what today might bring. Beside the normal chaos of everyday life...in the back of my mind was "Toilet Seat". Now how many of you wake up with a toilet seat on your mind?? I imagine most of the Representatives did.. Now how would I do it, what would I use? I went for a ride around my town and the neighboring towns, looking, observing. Ta-Da, it came to me..oh so much fun was to be had. I am happy to say, it is done, ready to be dropped at the post office in the morning.
The only bad thing of this whole crazy day is the fact that I didn't get my "comfort" time. No time to stop when there are so many fun things to do on your day off. Get up, get started and tackle the day head on. So all my friends I wish you a great night and more relaxing day tomorrow. Remember Charmin in the bathroom is your slice of comfort, so enjoy.

OOOOO-KLAHOMA!!!!!!

HELLO ALL!!

I wanted to wish everyone the best of luck and best wishes. I just finished designing my toilet seat and it goes out tomorrow.

I look forward to seeing which ones made the finals.

Anway, gotta go to sleep on my charmin bed......yes a charmin bed made entirely of toilet paper.

CHEERS!!

Nebraska Toilet Seat Decoration

So I've been decorating my Charmin toilet seat and it seems like everybody has an opinion, which is awesome. I appreciate all the input, although apparently some of my friends think way higher of my drawing ability than is actually necessary. :) I decided to just keep it simple and try to show the true heart of our awesome state. Paint should be dry by morning (fingers crossed) and then I can add the finishing touches and send it back on it's way to New York. Flat Stanleys have nothing on this toilet seat. :)
