For some reason, we at the Pepper can't seem to stay away from the toilet. The last Macrame Award went to the Big John Toilet Seat (and Newsweek's breathy coverage of said throne).

Yesterday, Dr. Pepper forwarded us a call for papers for a book collection called

Toilet Papers: The Gendered Construction of Public Toilets

Hum. We have a few suggested titles for the collection:

1. When to Stop Squeezing the Charmin
2. Layers of Meaning: From One- to Two-Ply
3. Splash-Back and the Leap of Faith
4. For a Good Time Call: Toilet Graffiti as Art
5. 'Readers' Digest' As a Genre

We at the Pepper don't intend to torment the authors, for they are attempting a serious study of the gender binary and issues of privacy, but how could we resist?
