We go through life taking many things for granted, but there is one thing so closely tied to our personal lives that to forget its importance is to commit the gravest of sins. It is a necessity we are almost completely dependent upon, comparable to our needs for food and water. It is an integral part of our daily lives--nay, our very existences--and without it, the human race becomes nothing more than soiled victims of its own gluttony. Indeed, my friends, that which I regard in such high esteem is:
the gimp suittoilet paper!Yes. Toilet paper. Paper for the toilet. Every home has at least one roll…which is usually part of a stash of rolls. And maintaining that stash tends to take precedence over other items, especially if you shop on a budget. I, being a serial starving student, have refrained from buying vegetables and fresh meats to save money for toilet paper (and because I don’t know how to cook anything unless it comes out of a box. Hamburger Helper and I are tight!). Regardless, we always have extra rolls because if we run out, the hygiene of certain body parts goes to Hell. And so does everyone’s respect for you…although, I’d actually be impressed at the parade of flies following you around. You’d be Lord of the Flies! (And there goes the last of my dignity.)
Considering what parts of us makes contact with toilet paper most often, quality is of utmost importance! It even trumps the benefits of saving money. Because while saving money can lead to some increases in wealth, low-quality toilet paper can lead to hanging bags of butt-meat, i.e., hemorrhoids!
Therefore, as president, founder, and sole member of Civilians Really Against Poor Toilet Paper (C.R.A.P.T.P.), I am deeming today the Fight Against Really Terrible TP Day (F.A.R.T.T. Day). And to commemorate the occasion, I’m going to rank some toilet paper brands in hopes that poor souls will make better choices when making their purchases.
Ratings are based on a scale of 1 to 5 of these smiling toilet paper rolls:
. I've ranked each brand according to the following criteria:Touch Test: how the toilet paper feels on my butt.
Butt-Bleediness: how many times I can wipe with it before it makes my butt-skin bleed.
I know there should be more factors, but I think those are the most important ones…i.e., I’m lazy.
Kirkland Bath Tissue: 36 Rolls of 2-ply for $ 20.23
You can always tell two things about a person who shops at Costco:
- They’ve still got 10 packs of bacon left over from the 12-pack they bought a year ago.
- They’ve got a mountain of Kirkland Bath Tissue.
You can’t deny this; everyone knows how hard it is to fight the urge to pick up a slab of Kirkland toilet paper every time you see the price. It’s almost as difficult as ignoring those rotisserie chickens. You know, the ones that are always juicy and smelling delicious…mmm…
Ninety-six percent of the toilet paper I’ve used was Kirkland Bath Tissue. And I’m sure I’ll be saying the same thing in 40 years because my parents are Costco members, my sister is a member, I’m a member, I plan to marry a member…etc.
It kind of feels like Kleenex, but a tad softer. Yes, even though I’ve been using it for years, it still feels coarse on my butt. But that is probably a good thing: if I were used to the roughness, that would mean I’ve got a callous where one should not be.
Expect to have some bleeding if you’re having a peanut butter poop day, but it won’t happen until the 7th wipe or so. And it doesn’t happen all the time either—unlike a certain other brand that is mentioned later on in this post. By the way, what am I eating that makes my dump that consistency anyway?
Charmin Ultra Soft: Thirty "Giant Size Rolls" for $ 19.99
I'll be honest: I was skeptical that Charmin's toilet paper was as amazing as the commercials made it seem. How could I be sure that the cartoon bears were genuinely happy with the softness, and not just paid actor-bears? Plus, at 67 per roll, it was too much of a luxury for my low-class butt.
But then! Costco had a coupon for Charmin Ultra Soft, which made it cheaper than the Kirkland brand! And now I’m a believer. I believe those cartoon bears!
It’s thick like a paper towel, but soft like the blankie you had as a baby. I couldn’t believe such toilet paper existed! I actually sat and studied a few squares to see if there were any magical elves hiding in the layers. And there were! And they really hate the Keebler elves!
Finally, a brand that doesn’t make my butt bleed! Even when I’ve got peanut butter poop! I can use up an entire roll to wipe myself clean without fear of inducing a hemorrhoid!
Ralph's Everyday Bath Tissue: 4 rolls for 50 cents
No picture available, so I drew one of my butt cells reacting to Ralph's toilet paper.
Sylvia's Advice of the Day: You should never, ever tempt fate by allowing your TP rations to dwindle to the point where you are wiping your butt with the last roll. Even if you are planning to go to Costco soon, it is still not worth it. You run the risk of buying Ralph’s Everyday Bath Tissue because you kept putting off going to Costco and now you’ve got dookie booty. Don’t do it.
While I knew a 12.5 cent roll was going to feel as cheap as it cost, I had no idea I just purchased butt sanding paper. Actually, sand paper is probably softer than Ralph’s Everyday Bath Tissue. Looking at the bright side: you can use the money you saved to get yourself some Preparation H.
How should I say this...? The first time I used it, I think I got two wipes before it broke skin. After that, every wipe—even when it wasn’t peanut butter poop— resulted in ass bleed. It was so prevalent that at one point, I thought I was dying.
Err...okay, so my list is pretty weak. But you can make it stronger by sending me some of your own toilet paper rankings! I'll add them to the post (just remember: touch test and butt-bleediness). Oh, and as a bonus, you become automatic members of C.R.A.P.T.P.! Hooray for generosity!

Scott Tissue by aznroadrunner
Scotts sucks. Scotts is like wiping with cardboard, except that it's really thin. It almost makes you think it's giving you paper cuts.

As much as I would love to, I can't kick anyone's ass. I just don't have the requisite body type for it. I'm 5'6" and 110 pounds of stuff other than muscle. I can’t do anything except maybe cut you with my clavicle. What’s even more depressing is that, despite being Asian, I can’t do any martial arts. I know it’s hard to believe, but I’m actually one of four Asians who were born with this genetic deficiency. To my credit, though, I try to hide it by carrying a bo stick around…even though it’s really a broom stick…with the broom still attached…but I call it the “Soul Sweeper"...hey, it's got a name, and that makes it a weapon, okay?!
To make up for my lack of ass-beating talent, I learned to improvise at a young age by using the next best thing to physical combat: Mortal Kombat. That's right, b*tch: I don't need fisticuffs because I've got Fatalities.
Therefore, my way of calling people out was by inviting someone over to my house, pushing an SNES controller into their hands, uppercutting the sh*t out of their character for two rounds until I heard "finish him," and then pulling a "Toasty!” After that, I'd usually say something cool like, “you got burned!” or “charred sphincter says what?” Too bad no one ever realized the message I was trying to send through Mortal Kombat—and why is that anyway? Hello! Fatality = I hate you. How much clearer can it be? Not much, but I nevertheless ended up having to explain why I didn't like this person, and that I kicked their ass in Mortal Kombat because I was physically incapable of doing it in real life. Talk about super awkward silences...
I haven’t played Mortal Kombat since then, but it’s never far from my mind because there are a lot of stank c*nts in this world. And every time I meet a new one, I fantasize about opening up a can of Fatality and kicking their asses with it. I’ve even come up with my own Fatalities--Syltalities--because some people are just so incredibly stanky that getting chomped on by a dragon is not enough punishment.
For example, there is this girl at my school named Greasy--that's not her real name, but I call her "Greasy" since that's the constant condition of her skin. So not joking. There are volunteers in Hazmat suits following her around because they think she's a victim of an oil spill. B*tch is greasy and zitty, and caked in so much pink makeup she looks like she cooked her face in a rotisserie oven. I'm grossly understating it, but there is only so much the English language can do.
Greasy's grease face makes it hard for her to get dates--because if she gets too close to heat, she will burst into flames. However, the risk of getting severe burns isn't necessarily a deal breaker: I'd still hit that if she had a hot body and a decent personality...but she doesn't. She is flabby and a b*tch, so she's not getting any lovin' from me...or anyone else, for that matter.
That being said, you'd think she was accustomed to rejection--but she's not. And thus, she screwed someone very dear to me out of an academic accolade (which everyone knows he deserved) simply because he didn't reciprocate her advances when she tried to get on his nuts. Now, I don't have a problem with revenge, but f*cking with someone's law school career is totally unacceptable. I take that sh*t personally.
Seeing as how Greasy's stank c*ntiness started because of her poor skin, I thought I'd help her out by giving her some Proactiv.
That's right: those are Proactiv shanks!
Oh! And then there was an asshat who was tailing me on the freeway one night. I was going 80 mph, which was already pretty fast, and the lanes around me were clear so he could have switched into one and passed me. Instead, he followed my car so closely that I could barely see his headlights.
Now generally, when I see someone speeding unnecessarily I assume it's because they really have to go to the bathroom--something I can definitely relate to. I was once in the middle of traffic when my bowels decided it was the perfect time for me to take a massive dump. It did not care that I was in my car or moving at snail speeds: the poop wanted freedom, and it was going to get it regardless of my inconvenience. I ended up going to a gas station--which I won't describe, but let's just say it would have been way more sanitary for me to crap my pants...and then roll around in them...and then eat a sandwich without washing my hands beforehand.
Anyway, the point of that flashback was that I usually don't care when people are speeding. And I had initially given the guy tailing me the same benefit of the doubt--until he high beamed me. Oh hell no! Hell no! Did you just give me the car equivalent of a b*tch slap? I think you did, you stank c*nt, and now I don't care what your reasons for speeding are. I'm kicking your ass anyway!
Eat sh*t and bricks, b*tch!

Remember those old Mentos commercials that always showed some person experiencing a mishap at the most inopportune time--and then, when it appears that all is lost, the guy pops a Mentos into his mouth and suddenly has an epiphany on how to solve the problem? Of course you do. They're classics!
...They're also extremely antiquated. I haven't seen a Mentos commercial that wasn't filmed in the 90's--which is pretty sad considering how much more can be milked out of that tired ass Mentos-saves-the-day formula. Did the commercial writers think that society only suffers from broken high heels, getting ditched by your friends at a crosswalk, or not being able to sneak backstage at a rock concert? Well, they're wrong! And to prove just how wrong they are, I came up with my own Mentos commercial that is both modern and hip-and-with-it!
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo wah!
It doesn't matter what comes, fresh goes better in life, and Mentos is fresh and full of life.
Nothing gets to you...
...staying fresh staying cool, with Mentos, fresh and full of life.
Fresh goes better, Mentos freshness, fresh goes better with Mentos, fresh and full of life!
Mentos, the
period-stain-patterned-dressfresh maker!I totally did this entry just so I could say "doo doo."

I learned something fairly interesting this past weekend: some people at my law school have been passing rumors about me being some kind of ho. I couldn't believe it: people actually know I exist?! That's amazing! No, it really is because I only have classes 3 days a week; I’m not in any student organizations; and I don’t go to school events. I am so unnoticeable that people have actually gone entire semesters without realizing I was even in their class. But I suppose that's expected since I tend to keep to myself whenever I'm at school--hence why after 3 years I've only made 4 or 5 friends (might have something to do with my "frigid b*tch" look--but I can't help that it's my normal face!).
Thus, there is no reason why I should have any reputation—but I do, and I have a theory why: I am too boring to actually be boring. It’s kind of like how some people react when they see happy couples: they’re too happy to actually be happy, and therefore they must be hiding some major drama. Similarly, my boringness is so extreme that it must be a façade I use to mask my true nature: ho-bag.
Naturally, I can’t help but feel a little irritated that some people think I'm slutty. I mean, come on now! That is so bland! I waited an insanely long time for my name to get into the rumor mill, and when I finally make it my reward is the completely unoriginal skank label? That sh*t is totally unacceptable!
I'm definitely not going to allow being relegated to a second-class citizen because I know I deserve way better than what I'm getting. Therefore! I will take matters into my own hands by infiltrating the gossip monger circles and planting juicy tidbits about myself. None of this sissy "she's a ho/slut/skank" bullsh*t! That stuff is for amateurs!
If people are going to gossip about me, it better be worth hearing. So my goal is to make sure that when anyone mentions my name, it is in regards to one of the following rumors:
I poop live abalone (which makes me the obvious key to world hunger).
Dane Cook’s sense of humor is hidden in my anus.
I had an orgy with the entire Xanga Team, Dikembe Mutombo, and an ear of corn.
By day I am a law school student; by night I am Chuck Norris.
I hold the world record for deadliest ass gas.
The guy who played Mr. Belvedere is not dead; I actually ate him (which I guess means he’s dead).
I am John’s secret love child.
Anything less and I will start beating some ass with my fist--and I mean the one hidden under my beard. Yeah, I'm that serious.
