I personally like the “DO IT” wooden plaque in their shop. I’m thinking about hanging it up in my bathroom, to encourage people while they’re on the john.
I like the idea of a bathroom memory book. “Remember that time we played poker and ate nachos till 3AM and you clogged my toilet? Well take a look, I saved the first sheet…”
Ah, yes… The memories in my book… My first bean burrito with extra jalapeños, the time I ate that whole shoofly pie, and my favorite, the night I ate a dozen hard boiled eggs and washed them down with a cherry lime rickey.
The description reads like an SNL follow up to “Marble Columns”. “Display it on your toilet”, and people will think “who lives here, the King?” – “made into wedding favors” “whose nuptials are these, Princess Diana’s? You can have this one or this one! Or how about this one or this one!
lady caca looks very muppet-like, it is humorous but not a practical gift. it’s a shame b/c the embroidery work is well-done on most of the toilet paper “art”. i am laughing out LOUD at all of the comments…
Okay, I’m stepping out on a limb….is that a black arse? A porcelein dildo????
OOOHHHH I get it sunglasses and a nose!!!
I thought it meant POKE-HER …..geez….where was my mind…?
#24 How on earth is THAT humorous? I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt that the embroidery is “good” because I’m in a giving mood today, but SERIOUSLY how is that funny?
Ok really?
someone got an embroidery machine and didn’t think to get a canvas bag, a sweatshirt or something far more durable or desireable to practice with.
I’ve decided I’m making a life change…
1.Start knitting
2.Start crocheting
3.Get patterns for anything to knit and or crochet vaginas
4.Buy black yarn/make black penises to piss off the Say What artist
5.Buy embroidery machine.
AND EVERY PIECE OF WORK WILL BE RACIST VAGINAS MOTIF!! WITH DREADLOCK MODELS!!!!
How in the hell does one embroider toilet paper without ripping it to shreds? Am I just ignorant to the limitations of embroidering? I can’t see how someone could put that many holes in a piece of flimsy toilet paper without it falling apart instantly. Perhaps that is the truly amazing part of all of this?
Helen Killer — you slay me!
Crapbooking, lolz.
Oh, and it would have been so much more adroit if this had been embroidered on quilted northern…
Somehow, if they had embroidered this http://www.regretsy.com/2009/10/08/crewel-to-be-kind/
on toilet paper, it would have been so much artier.
From the description: “Add one to a gift basket. Be ready for the holidays, with EMBROIDERED TOILET PAPER. Something for all seasons and for everyone. You will be remembered for giving something UNIQUE!”
Hey, my gift baskets are already lookin’ pretty full, what with the Sarah Palin ornaments, adult bottle cozies, corn poo soap and the Sexy Santa postpartum XL reusable pads that I custom ordered from the vampire seller (I plan to put it all in the upcycled catfood bag with a red ‘n green…
WOW, I cannot express in words how much I love you all for making my work day infinitely better! BEST COMMENTS EVER. Especially #48.. can you imagine the description, “Kotex is used” hahahahahhaha
What if the regular roll runs out and a guest unknowingly uses (and flushes away) the embroidered sheet from your $4 roll before you have a chance to save it in your scrapbook because you foolishly followed her directive to take “it out of the closet and put it on the tank to be seen by all”? What a waste!
November 9, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Wonder if she charges more for a double roll.
November 9, 2009 at 1:43 pm
I’ve got a friend who has a scrapbook studio – I’m letting her know about this.
This could be the next big thing in the world of memory books.
November 9, 2009 at 1:43 pm
This is actually a big thing in the embroidery world.
Its a novelty thing. Holidays…special occasions…gag gifts. Some are lame, some are funny.
November 9, 2009 at 1:44 pm
Actually, I’d like to use the first sheet to generate some red, white, and blue cling-ons to save in my crap book.
November 9, 2009 at 1:47 pm
I’d love to wipe my ass with Lady Gaga’s face.

This one at least makes more sense… but really? Embroidered toilet paper as a wedding favor? No, no no!!!
November 9, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Is that the face you make when you accidentally use the first square or when you realize you’ve just spent $4 on ass paper?
November 9, 2009 at 1:59 pm
Je ne comprends pas….

November 9, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Helen, you forgot this equally important question….
Are there really people who embroider toilet paper????
November 9, 2009 at 2:05 pm
I personally like the “DO IT” wooden plaque in their shop. I’m thinking about hanging it up in my bathroom, to encourage people while they’re on the john.
November 9, 2009 at 2:05 pm
I’m bored…think I’ll go embroider some toilet paper. At least when it comes out looking like crap it’s on the right material.
November 9, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Should say “my pooper face”!
November 9, 2009 at 2:07 pm
I wonder what kind of signal you are giving when you present your clients with this as ‘a Business gift’(as is suggested in the ad)?
November 9, 2009 at 2:12 pm
I hope it’s contextual confusion, and not really used Charmin.
‘Scuse me, while I go put a mustache on Lady GaGa. BRB!
November 9, 2009 at 2:15 pm
“I’m watering my plants” and “I have to wash my hair” be damned!
“I’m embroidering toilet paper” = best.excuse.ever.
November 9, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Grandma would be so proud if she could only see me using the embroidery skills she passed on to me.
PS has anybody seen this gem from the BBC of Christopher Walken reading Poker Face?

November 9, 2009 at 2:29 pm
I just don’t get anything about this. There is not even a pun in sight! It’s just horribly unclever. Unless that’s what’s funny about it?
And what’s the point of having one sheet embroidered? At least do a couple more in the roll…
November 9, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Ah, yes… The memories in my book… My first bean burrito with extra jalapeños, the time I ate that whole shoofly pie, and my favorite, the night I ate a dozen hard boiled eggs and washed them down with a cherry lime rickey.
November 9, 2009 at 2:42 pm
There’s no argument: This is the perfect item to wipe with.
November 9, 2009 at 2:50 pm
I am picturing the reception line at a wedding, where people are actually receiving this.
I think I will go and paint a picture of it, cause words can’t describe it.

#18, truth! one embroidered sheet is not enough, the first few may get soiled!

You probably need this after you eat a diaper cake.

Lady Caca! Crapbooking! Excellent!

oh man, this is just wrong
Honestly some people should be banned from crafting full stop. Lock them up and all their crapbooking ideas.
November 9, 2009 at 5:37 pm
I want one with the second sheet embroidered with Rick Astley.
November 9, 2009 at 6:09 pm

#39 has a point. I’d like to see the other side of the embroidered part, just out of curiosity.

what a shitty gift.

Ha! That made me laugh. Nicely done.
November 9, 2009 at 10:13 pm
It’s 2 ply Charmin. I wonder if she can embroider the cheap 1 ply from Wal-Mart?
November 10, 2009 at 1:50 am
I am almost sure she meant Charmin toilet paper is utilized, not used.

vangoughbabe – look no further. You can start your knitting career off with a Snatchel.

I want a embroidered Kotex.

#47 Wish I would have had that on my journey through Europe….

I don’t need EMBROIDERED TOILET PAPER to be remember for giving something ridiculou– I mean, UNIQUE.

I’d sew it on my Faery’s jacket as a patch…
November 10, 2009 at 10:32 am
is this for real? these people need to get out more.
November 10, 2009 at 12:06 pm

November 11, 2009 at 5:41 pm
If you save that first piece, is it considered “recycling”?
November 12, 2009 at 10:34 pm
This sold… YIKES!!
