i've found most catalogs don't have the content to keep my mind fully occupied. plus, they can generally be read in a few sittings and then need to be replaced with new info. my preference is for magazines or catalogs with many short articles or image tutorials. (i like to read an article in one sitting...not over a four day period...and i don't like to linger in the bathroom just to finish up another page.) i plan out my reading ahaed of time so i'm never caught unprepared. i've found it allows me to make pretty good use of that time. my current reading list (monthly subscription) is: -maxim magzazine (to be phased out at the end of april for "backpacker") -peterson's 4x4 and offroad since i only read those in the bathroom, i can usually get a good two weeks out of them before needing something new. typically, i supplement the mags with catalogs depending on my interest. in there now are: -professional cutlery direct -williams and sonoma -state line tack i also use the health, investement, and whatever other work related quasi-junk mail that arrives to fill in the sparse content days at the end of the month. ...slow morning. |

Nothing - if I bring a book or magazine in there, I'll keep reading past the time I'm "done" and then my feet fall asleep.

Stroke mags.
Always good for squeezin' the weasel, chokin' da chickin', spankin' the monkey, stranglin' the one eye snake, beatin' the meat, one handed bullseye shootin, and just over all plain full auto fun! |

I believe the area you speak of is the 'Throne Room'.
Gun Tests, The Black Rifle and PC Magazine. |

I've found that the latest bushy catalog is nice reading material while sitting on the crapper.

I'm always accused of being in there too long. I like to read Small Arms Review but I always have to finish the articles. I'll have hemmorids the size of watermelon if they don't shorten that mag.

The Bushmaster catalog is on top of the pile.
Also included are various issues of Fire Engineering, Firehouse, Maxim and "The Combat Shotgun and Submachinegun, a Special Weapons Analysis" by Chuck Taylor. The sphincter operates much more efectively when the mind is engaged. [thinking] |

I'd read Shotgun News if the local WalMart didn't always sell-out of the few copies they receive. The manager claims they're not allowed to order more than five copies of each issue, and they don't even usually make it to the rack before store employees buy them. So, I just read my Brownells catalog. If I ever win the lottery (figuratively speaking, since I've never bought a ticket) I'll buy one of every tool in that catalog!z

I used to keep some 4x4 and gun magazines by the throne, but a little while ago I set up a wireless network in the house. Wireless connectivity+laptop computer = ...

Playboy (I actually read the articles, call me weird.)
Maxim or Stuff (don't get both, the same articles appear in both IMHO.) Jeff Cooper's books. The local Newspaper... Because the only thing is good for is wiping my ass. |

When I had a subscription, I would read SGN until both my legs fell asleep and I would barely be able to stand up to do paperwork.

Quoted: When I had a subscription, I would read SGN until both my legs fell asleep and I would barely be able to stand up to do paperwork. Me too, until I heard some bad stuff about sitting on the head too long. My ex-boss used to sit on the head that way, reading magazines until his legs went numb. It turns out to be very, very bad for your grommet. He's had two surgeries as the result of it. Both failed, and now he has to spend the rest of his life with a leaking and painful rear. |

You should really consider the Hogue Soft OverMolded Toilet Seats(Ass gasket). This will make your experience more enjoyable as a shooter and a sh@tter. I have seriously considered becoming a dealer for this product in the North Texas area.

If it comes down to that, I will use an Accuwedge instead of getting any surgery. |
