Apr 22 2009Shower Curtain Gets Stabby On H2O Wasters
Elisabeth Beucher's 'Green Warrior Shower Curtains' help control your water consumption by slowly inflating its spikes (via a questionably energy efficient air pump) as you shower. Stay in too long and you get stabbed. Drop the soap and experience prison. While I do find this design admirable, I have an even better way to curtail water wastage: don't pay your gas or electric bill. You'll still have cold water, and cold water, my friends, is the key to shorter showers. Seriously, I'm down to 35 seconds. Haven't seen my balls in weeks!
Happy Earth Day everyone!
in honor of earth day: the shower curtain that impales you [theinteriormind]
Thanks to Travis, who only bathes the way God intended: with a woman to scrub his back.

You can come and use my shower any time. :)

Surely it'd make a bit more sense for the used water to fill up the curtain from the bottom. That way, the amount of water used is directly related to the growth of the spikes, and you don't have to worry about having an electricity-using fan in the shower. Having a pointless fan in the shower is bad for environmental reasons, and for killing-yourself-by-stupidly-using-electrical-appliances-in-the-shower reasons.

I have an even better idea. It's called a steam shower. You wet down intially, normally at 2.5gpm, switch over to steam, only uses 1 gallon for 15 minutes of steam, soap down, do all the goodies, switch back to normal shower when it's time to rinse.
You'll save the whole god damn planet with a comfy shower! Woo Hoo!!

14. STINK - April 23, 2009 1:11 AM
I'm waiting for the toilet version of these to tell me when I've crapped enough.
15. scurl - April 23, 2009 2:02 AM
this reminds me of the time that i almost deviated from my normal commenting practices in order to make a simple statement, but then though of a way around it.
I seem to function in a very similar way to this thing. bump into me with your ass twice and i'm either in you or you're done showering.

20. Zira - April 23, 2009 7:16 AM
There's an electric fan to blow the spikes up? Jeez. I give this idea a 3/11. I would have found some way for the steam to fill the spikes...or something.

Bring's new meaning to shower curtain attacks...

That's something else than a bed of nails.
23. Graf Zeppelin - April 23, 2009 9:13 AM
I'd hit it before it hits me. And then I'd cut it apart and build a stove version that chucks everything that is not veggie out of my pan. and then disguise it as a dinosaur and use it to sodomize people in the street who run me over with a dummvee just because I'm a hippie.

I don't find anything at all admirable in a draconian effort to "control and punish" (her words, not mine.) I love artists... they are all for freedom so long as it is THEIR freedom of expression. Step outside those boundries, and you're subject to the self-righteous rage of the emotional adolescent.
25. Graf Zeppelin - April 23, 2009 11:06 AM
are you curtailing my boundaries bartok? damm you! my self-righteous rage shall draconially punish you like a plastic phallos! *whip* *whip* it's art godammit! *whip* art! *whip*
anyway, why do male pron actors always think it's a good idea to slap their broad's behind with their half dead willie when they take someone from behind? not that I ever saw a pron movie myself but...
26. Kup - April 23, 2009 12:36 PM
is it possible to be scared, aroused, and intrigued at the same time?
27. Uncle Eccoli - April 23, 2009 1:12 PM
Bartok's beaten me to the use of, "self-righteous," but fuc.k it...
I am so incredibly sick of all this self-important, self-righteous "green" nonsense. Art is dead, so shove it up your ass.

34. Jhoy E. Meade - September 6, 2009 3:12 AM
ahahaha..... I love your comment on the curtain.
I grew up taking cold showers because we didn't have hot water heaters in my house. (I'm not that old).. only at sometimes was the water warm because of the time of the day and the sun on the pipes. :)
Cold water is the way to short showers.
lol-ing.... a woman to scrub your back. ... I love it. :) the curtain not so much. :)
