The Great 2000 Flushes Experiment: Follow-up!

What the heck is wrong with me? It's been months now since this post, in which I told you about the Great 2000 Flushes Experiment, wherein my roommate Joe and I kept tabs on our toilet, tallying up every flush in attempt to determine whether the 2000 Flushes toilet cleaner tablet was really good for two thousand flushes.

Here, finally, is your update: A few weeks after that post, it became clear that the water was, well, clear. No longer was our toilet bowl water possessed of an achingly beautiful blue deep blue hue. Now it was just the color of water, so it was time to officially call an end to our potty journey.

The final tally: 1,268 flushes. Is that greater than or equal to 2,000? Well, no. But I think it's still pretty darn impressive. We haven't gotten a new tablet... I think we're still in mourning. But it did take several days to shake off the urge to make a tally mark with every flush.

Once the experiment was over, we had to figure out something else to do with the dry erase board in our bathroom, so we've been using it to play Hangman. Here you can see how Joe guessed the solution without even hanging a single body part. (You can also see months' worth of accumulated vandalism and piled-on inside jokes.) Well done, Joe! That's some expert-level bathroom Hangman.

I thought the hangman result was The Tush Doctrine!

I couldn't stop staring at Devil Elmo every time I used your bathroom. I don't know what this says about me.

It's not your fault. Devil Elmo never lets anyone out of his gaze.

The Hangman solution was originally The Bush Doctrine. "The Tush Doctrine" came about as a result of some of that vandalism I mentioned... I can only wish I had been clever enough to come up with "The Tush Doctrine" the first time around.

Everybody should have a dry-erase board in the bathroom. I'm gonna go buy one right now.

I just installed a whiteboard in the master bathroom. As far as whiteboards go, it's a runt, but it'll do the job.

Someday I plan to have a study with an entire wall covered in whiteboard. Why limit yourself to just part of the wall when you can write on the entire wall? A whiteboard coffee table would also be a great idea.
