[geegee]

If I were to stop by your home tomorrow, and after a friendly THR type of chat over coffee, and after you showed me your firearms, if I had to then excuse myself to use your,ah...facilities, what reading material could I expect to find in there to keep myself occupied?

To be fair, here's I what inventoried a few minutes ago:
1. The Wilson Combat Catlogue 2003 (a timeless piece-who could ever tire of looking over those pictures and read the snippets describing some of the finest firearms in the world?)
2. The Colt .45 Auto Pistol (the little orange pamphlet, by Desert Publications. No time is ever wasted reading the pages of this one)
3. Guns Magazine (photo's by Ichiro Nagata, for when my eyes are too tired to read anything too lengthy)
4. Tactical Knives (I'm often conflicted:am I a knife guy who's into guns, or a gun guy into knives? No matter-this is arguably the best knife mag out there)
4. A.G.Russell Knives Catlogue (great selection of collectibles, EDC's, and tacticals)
6. Russell's Catlogue for Men (an upscale selection of gifts-kind of knifeworld meets Sharper Image)
7. Investment News (I do have a job after all, and what if my boss calls me and catches me offguard? I need to be able to say something halfway intelligent)
8. The Palm Solutions Guide (my Palm Pilots over the years have provided many ways to streamlife my life, as well as tie me up for hours at a time, as I try to fix my last "hot synch" problem

So there you have it. That's what I'd offer up. And you? :p :D geegee

[Preacherman]

Right now, vol. 2 of "The Darwin Awards"! :D

[Spieler]

Okay, I'll bite.

Depending on which facility I directed you to, you would find a mix-and-match of the follwoing publications:

The last two or three issues of Combat Handguns, Guns and Wepaons for Law Enforcement, and American Handgunner. In addition there would be the latest issues of ARMY and STATE magazines, all solicited and unsolicited firearms related catalongs such as from Bushmaster, Tapco, Major Surplus, Brigade Quartermaster, etc. Although not currently in the rack, I sometimes pull out an old issue of Soldier of Fortune and give it a re-read, especially issues in which Peter G. Kokalis reviewed some new wonder weapon that has since either been relegated to the dustbin of firearms history or has gone on to become a standard. The Oct/Nov? '84 issue in which he reviews the Glock 17 which had not yet begun to arrive on US shores comes to mind.

Knock, Knock, "Hey, are you done in there yet dude?"

[HeavyHaul]

You would be woefully short of reading material in my "loo". If you want reading material, you got to take it with you. I have lots available on, under, and piled around the coffee table. Guns, knives, cars or women, take your pick.:D

Bill


P.S. yes, I am single, and have no one to pick up after me.

[gun-fucious]

i had a copy of "The Black Rifle" in the downstairs facility but my better half moved it

Other locales are well stocked with paintball magazines, American Rifleman, Wired, Shotgun News and Bovard's "Lost Rights"

[Mike Irwin]

Upstairs (which you would probably never see as downstairs is the "nice" crap hole for company :) ):

Cartridges of the World, 7th edition

The latest Invention & Technology magazine

A book on combat aircraft of WW II (can't remember the title)

Restoration Hardware catalog.


Downstairs...

Reprint of the 1921 Francis Bannerman catalog

Several back issues of National Geographic, specifically those with paleoarchaeology or interstellar exploration

Several OLD issues of Buns & Whammo magazine from back in the 1980s when I was still getting it regularly


My bathrooms aren't big, so I don't keep a lot in there.

[Moparmike]

Scientific American or Discover.

Usually, whatever you find interesting on the cleaning supply labels under the sink.

[ed dixon]

So literally in the main wc? Probably The Atlantic Monthly, Newsweek, Pennsylvania Fish and Game, and some celebrity mags my wife made me buy to keep up with the J-Lo/Ben-Lo dramedy. Seriously, I keep most of my gun mags and (monthly) catalogs next to the bed in what my wife calls my "ditty bag." Also THR threads that I've printed and want to ruminate on.

[sm]

Well I flunked this test I see. :D

Schedule of classes for Fall 2003
Schedule of classes for Spring 2003 :scrutiny:
Schedule of classes for Fall 2002 ( different school to boot):confused: :scrutiny:
(anybody else notice a pattern here) ;)
Cliffs Notes" Creating Your First Page" ( still sealed btw)
Things to do list, which I lost and therefore stuff still needs to be done
Here ya go... how about the empty soap box from Dove?

Just look at my shower curtain...it has Ducks on it...if you're gonna be awhile just dig around and read the back labels on vitamins , shaving creme,...etc.

Hey -at least it's clean and not cluttered :p

[andy]

You wouldn't find anything in my bathroom. I think reading in the john is gross (no flame intended).

[Legionnaire]

Sorry, you'll have to bring along your own reading material. But I do have Cooper's Commentaries loaded in my Palm. :D

[IRONFIST]

The question from the thread-starter got me thinking, so I actually went in to the bathroom to check...

1. Last months and the months before issues of "Playboy"(free subscription)

2. "The worst-case scenario emergency Handbook"(another free handout)

3. 2 old issues of the "Shotgun news".

4. An old paperback called "Warship", about the siezure of an Aegis missile cruiser off the coast of Vietnam.

5. A "Frost cutlery" cheap knife catalog.

6. A "US Cavalry" catalog.

7. A Stephan King novel "The Stand"(read this about a billion times, so much that the first and last chapters and the covers have fallen off)

8. A library book called "The masters of Doom" about the video game industry(havent started it yet)

9. An older issue of "Redbook"(for my wife)

Thats about it. I did have a book about knife making, but its at a friends house right now.

Michael

[veloce851]

LOL ... Usually just a Blue press (I like the articles ;) )
The latest SureFire catalog
SportRider, Motorcyclist, Fast Bikes
and maybe a gun related mag... unfortunately they are all too expensive.

Now if I could afford the several flat screens I'd like, you'd have access to a true I-Loo
Since I've often thought of putting an internet terminal in there :D

and yes I'm a single technoGeek

[Mike Irwin]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this...

I've used the "facilities" at Moderator Mal's place.

Mal, you get some fascinating reading material, dude! :)

[hansolo]

My wife and I live in a doublewide(!)with ONE bathroom:cuss: Wife is NOT into guns, shooting, military or law enforcement.

I try and discourage other aXXes than ours in the loo, so I don't hide mystuff. I just did an inventory:

Massage & Bodywork, American Spa, Massage Therapy(Wife is a message therapist).

American Rifleman(Aug. 1999), current SGN, Current SWAT Magazine, Cabela's Shooting catalog(2003), AARP Magazine(Old Phart Monthly);
The other hundred or so shooting-related mags and catalogs are stuffed in my closet, under the bed and take up a drawer in my dresser.

As much as I love a nice 1911, to read most current gun mags, you'd think the only handguns in production are Glocks and 1911's:uhoh:

BTW, andy, if "...reading in the john is gross...", what do you think of the bodily functions?:barf: .....reading is my laxative.

[hksw]

Various catalogs from Cabelas, SOG, Century, InterOrd, Midway, Brownells, etc., William C. Dietz Deathday (currently reading), old issue of Small Arms Review.

[geegee]

The latest SureFire catalog
Gotta admit, that catalogue was so good it was taken from the throne room to my briefcase, where it was read on a long plane flight.
2 old issues of the "Shotgun news".
No good-too unwieldy and cumbersome, due to the tabloid size. They keep falling over from the basket and mess up the entire selection.
Usually just a Blue press (I like the articles )
A fine selection. I'm onboard with that one, and they often make the starting rotation.
A "Frost cutlery" cheap knife catalog.
:rolleyes: 'Nuff said.Well I flunked this test I see.
Yes, you did.A book on combat aircraft of WW II (can't remember the title)
A fine addition (I'm a WW II aircraft fan myself)
solicited and unsolicited firearms related catalongs such as from Bushmaster, Tapco, Major Surplus, Brigade Quartermaster, etc.
My Bushmaster catalogue actually resides on my nightstand (love that Bushy! :cool: )
Anyone else? geegee

[Pebcac]

Various Anne Geddes pictures and the Nicene Creed in one, bathroom product labels in the other.

I'm married, if it wasn't clear by the library catalogue above. I have to bring my own literature to the reading room with me. :D

[digex]

Wow, you guy's magazines are more exciting than my whole life! I have a couple of computer catalogs, harbor freight catalog and a crutchfield catalog in mine. Kinda sad, really... I need to subscribe to some more interesting reading material.

[sm]

Can I get a passing grade now?? :D
I went and made things better.

The Custom Government Model Pistol -Layne Simpson
Up Country- Nelson DeMille
Winchester Ammunition Catalog
Easy Crossword Puzzle Book
Pen/Pencil

I even topped off the oil lamp and dusted the Duxbax metal poster .

[Zark-9]

Just had to go look. 2003 Cabela's Fall Issue, 2003 GMC Sierra brochure, Guns and Ammo, Bon Appetit, Equus, Major Surplus and Survival, Burpie Seed Catalog, American Rifleman, Shooting Times, 2003 Sun Tracker Catalog (Pontoon Boats), Kansas City Bullsheet ( BBQ News). That's downstairs, upstairs theres not much to read except the shampoo bottle! :(

[IRONFIST]

Sorry GeeGee, but a true "porcelain chair" reader doesnt let something "oversized" mess up their reading preferences. No, a true reader adapts his surroundings to accomodate his selections by UPGRADING. I dont use a silly basket for my bathroom magazines and books, I use a small table! That gives me quite a bit of stability and I can arrainge my reading material by size. A basket is what my grandmother keeps her sewing in. 'Nuff said! :D


Michael

[spacemanspiff]

tactical knives, swat, combat handguns, american handgunner, couple other gun rags, stun, stuff, maxim

:scrutiny: Nope, the bathrooms in my house don't have any reading material. Just take care of business & on to the next 'thing' :D

[J.J.]

-A scuba Diving Magazine.

-Psycholgy of Adult aging and Devolpment (from last semester haven't gotten around to throwing it away..won't buy it back..bastards.)

-Not reading material but the most used item... one of those handheld electronic solitare games... (my fav. item)

[andy]

Hansolo, what do I think of bodily functions? I accept them as a necessary part of life. The problem I have with reading in the loo is the thought of "smudged" pages if you know what I mean. I do realize that reading helps many people relax and there is nothing wrong with that. What ever works for you is cool, its just not my way of getting things done.
I think we are getting off topic here. :o

[Pendragon]

PC Gamer
C.P.U.
Maximum PC

Budget Living (maybe)

[Feanaro]

None of that. You will find a magazine of some description in the facilities but all the firearm magazines are with me. Business magazines bore me and computer magazines bore me. You might find a C.S. Lewis book in there or perhaps a Steven King paperback though.

Nothing in the bathrooms, but there's plenty of reading material scattered around the homestead.

A quick glance around the den reveals:
- old issues of American Gunsmith, Home Shop Machinist, and American Rifleman
- Trader Vic's Book of Mexican Cooking
- Catalogs from Brownells and Natchez.
- The Blue Book of Gun Values (24th edition)
- Cryptonomicon (in a constant meta-state of re-reading)
- Three or four books on nuclear weapons technology (Richard Rhodes, etc.)
- A whole library of books on clandestine services, intelligence gathering, etc.
- Golf books (sigh...)
- A copy of Matt Burkett's Practical Shooting Manual - highly recommended!

Lots more scattered around - none in the bathrooms, though. A terrible oversight!

Absolutely! Now you're cooking with gas. I mean, uh...yeah, you pass. :p Sorry GeeGee, but a true "porcelain chair" reader doesnt let something "oversized" mess up their reading preferences. No, a true reader adapts his surroundings to accomodate his selections by UPGRADING. I dont use a silly basket for my bathroom magazines and books, I use a small table!

Well, while at "the head" there are a number of
gun magazines to get you started; but for the
longer visits you may want to read "The Silent
Warrior" or "Marine Sniper"? For those even
longer uncontrollable visits "Honor Bound
American Prisoners Of War In Southeast Asia, 1961-1973"
is an excellent piece of work!:uhoh: :rolleyes: :D

There's some roll-marks on steel behind the door in one of them, the other, nothing (OK, a few friendly devices that use batteries. . .).

I won't go into any description of what used to be in the other bathroom. . .

[Loaded]

You won't find any reading material in my bathroom. I go in there to do several things, one of which is not reading! Pee uuuu!

When I want to read I go into my den and sit in MY chair, sip my bourbon on the rocks and read.

[Dorrin79]

whatever novel, history book, philosophy text, or magazine I left there last time.

[Kharn]

No reading material except product labels in my bathroom. I prefer to get in, do my business and get out ASAP with no distractions (I've also lived in a college dorm for 75% of the last three years, so that partially influences my habits).

Now if you want something to forget you ever read, at least one person on Ar15.com has admitted to having used their laptop (with wireless internet access) to post on Ar15.com while on the crapper. :barf: [Edit:] Oops, should have read the rest of the thread first (I only read the first page), Jesse H already owned up to that one. Good thing there's no way odor can go through the internet... :p

[grampster]

The Federalist Papers, a book of quotes by noted conservatives, latest issue of America's First Freedom. These important tomes are in the "Man's Bathroom". In the basement of course. This ideal room also contains a refrigerator stocked with soft drinks and adult malt beverages, a shelf containing some fine single malts scotches and a jug of Beam Black along with with some "proper glasses" for containing same. This "throne room" also contains an old leather chair, a stereo system, a multi-purpose sink, and a shower. The walls are covered by original oil artwork done by my granddad, my father, my wife and an original mixed media done by an elderly gentleman of some notoriety from the island of Martinique. The view from the window encompases an 800 acre lake. Gun safe nearby......Sigh.......Could a man ask for anything more?

I skipped over a bunch of the comments, so if the topic has shifted, I apologize.

Upstairs, you might find a copy of The Federalist Papers, or whatever I am currently reading ("The War of the Worlds", "The Time Machine", and "Guns, Crime and Freedom").

Downstairs, there might be a copy of American Rifleman, and anything else I'm reading (I think there's a book on linear algebra, right now).

Could a man ask for anything more?
In a word, no ! :D geegee

[Rogelio]

nothing readable..unless you like to read cigarrette packs.!!

Here in Peru gun mags come with about a 8 month delay, and we can not get any of the american ones, only the ones from Argentina. ARMAS and MAGNUM are both my favorite

I've got no reading material in the bathroom. Sorry, dude. You'd have to grab something off a bookshelf or such first, at which point there's tons to pick from; I live with six other guys (all of whom are conservative Christians, by the way).

In MY bathroom you could read the label or instructions on any of several Female "Things", like make-up, nail polish, perfume, or Toothpaste, deodorant, mouthwash, etc. If you're snoopy enough to look under the cabinets... well, do so at your own risk.
In the MAN'S bathroom, don't ask, don't tell is my policy. I haven't even looked in there in months. Not my business.:eek:
Holly;)

A-I would not meet you at my house unless I knew you well.

B-I would not show you any firearms, and if you became a pest I would invite you to leave, just before I turned the rotweiller and the 5 chihuahuas loose on you.

C-There is nothing to read in our facilities. We do, however, have indoor plumbing. Threw out the old Sears Roebuck catalog when we moved the outhouse inside the house and hooked up the running water. We even have hot water and soft, rolled paper in the john.

D-Welcome to Wyoming. Now get out of here and go home. Wherz my meds?
