So.

The King has requested that we build a new throne.

Yes.

He says this new one should be made of solid gold, it should also function as a multi positional sex hoist, as well as a fully functioning toilet, and that it apparently needs to have titties on it as well.

A funny story about a chamber pot and what it has to do with a ship.

Pull-chain (and total show-off) toilet, next to an analog version.

THE CHAMBER POT!

In early day Australia the chamber pot was at hand

under the bed of Australia it proudly stands.

With nighttime wee wees there to be

Too bloody cold to go outside and pee!

The chamber pot did not have a lid to go up and down

usually covered by a beaded dolly

that sometimes kept hidden smelly pot frown.

Little kids used potty with chamber pot glee

They'd get excited to show their first poo or wee.

Before inside toilets in Australia to be found

and guess who emptied "potty" always, Mother with a frown.

Mums are nice they understand

Those bloody males can't aim straight

unable to guide willies with their hand.

Now Mums and girls know how to do it right

they sit on potty because Mums and girls are really bright!

Mothers say good riddance to chamber pot they can use the "thunder box" dunny toilet, inside the house instead! ... Misha

One day I will have a chamber pot under my bed so I don't have any more close calls in the middle of the night...I almost wet my panties right in front of the toilet the other night!

Chamber Pot?

I wrote this quite a few years ago but it’s sort of fun and worth a repeat!

This spring, thanks to a generous grant, we were able to replace the cedar board fence behind the Mitchell House that was in long need of replacement.  It was likely from the late 1960s and did its part for a very long time.  Part of the area where this fence runs was once the home of “Neighbor North” as the Peleg Mitchell Junior family called it.  Neighbor North was the Mitchell family outhouse and was located in the north part of the backyard.  Mary Mitchell, wife of Peleg Jr, surrounded it with nasturtiums in summer and Peleg himself planted a grape vine that grew over it (I mentioned this in a previous post). 

As with any digging in the Mitchell House yard, or even a hard rain, pottery shards are often revealed and as you might know from another previous post, I love pottery shards.  As you can see in this image, there is an overwhelming amount of one design of pottery and we can assume it is all from the same piece.  Since it is in the area of Neighbor North, I believe this may be the remains of a chamber pot that was brought in the morning to be emptied in the outhouse but never made it back into the Mitchell House because it was dropped or accidentally shattered during the process of emptying.  These are the white, blue, and brown striped shards.  I have also found a straight, thick piece that could be a portion of the handle of a chamber pot.  You can see other pieces too in this image.  They could be chips from other chamber pots that were damaged in their emptying process or were discarded in the outhouse hole when broken.  Or, simply, other pottery pieces that were tossed behind the outhouse when they were damaged beyond use or could not be made into a “make-do.”  What’s a “make-do” you ask?  Now that is for another blog.  But keep this in mind, even the simplest and smallest piece of “trash” can tell you something about the people who came before us and what the site it is found in was used for or even the economic status of a family.  A little piece of trash can be another woman’s treasure – in many ways, including knowledge!

genuinely boggles my mind that it took until the year of our lord two thousand and twenty-four for new york city to embrace the concept of garbage bins.

And these particular opinions have been sourced directly from the bottom of a disused, burning, disease ridden toilet!
