Harvard names a restroom after an interesting alum donation

WASHINGTON - Professional sports teams often play in stadiums emblazoned with corporate monikers, but there's a new trend in the sale of naming rights: bathroom stalls.
A growing number of colleges and universities are getting some financial relief by naming restrooms after people who make large donations. Even the Harvard Law School now has a restroom named after alum.
William Falik, a Harvard Law School graduate, donated $100,000 to his alma mater. And yes, the pronunciation is exactly the same as the term used in Freudian psychology....." 

What a great new way for schools to get more money, as if the $50,000 a year Harvard charges wasn't enough, got a potty or body part for a name? Get a can named after you. What's next? The sink? Toilet Paper holders (that would seem appropriate at some colleges-stock them with the diplomas)? How about the Tampon machines? The Bertha Butz toilet seat. Ugo's Urinal. Paula's Plunger.


Every John, Dick and Harry must be rejoicing. Not to mention the Peters, Johnson's and Butkas'.

I wonder if you have to use your own name. Or could I have a urinal named after someone else? Like the name a star scam. Who you ask....oh I don't know who....maybe something like the Pelosi Potty.....or the Clinton Crapper....the Obama Outhouse......just thinking out loud. Or how about:: the Newt Necessary......the Romney Restroom.....the Santorum Shi...on second thought Santorum sounds like an euphemism for a bathroom all by itself.

What's Been Going On the Last 15 Months

Looking for skinnier skinny jeans? Try meat leggings

Maybe I should wear these for the Boston Marathon. It would sure make it eaiser for Sam to find me among the 27,000 other runners. Now all I need is a top to go with it.

From WTOP.com

"WASHINGTON - For those trying to find something skinnier than jeggings, search no more. A new pant goes straight down to the skin, and even farther.
Leggings designed to look like human muscle are now available at Australian-based clothing website BlackMilkClothing.com. The polyster/elastane pants will surely be the envy of all who appreciate skin-tight accoutrement......"

Maybe this shirt would work with it

Comments: sore, tired, old, and a mini-pad stuck on the top of my foot to protect my torn-up eczema-covered foot from the shoe (I hate socks). It worked well-no cramps at all. Plain mini pad, I think next time I will try scented ones with wings.
