There’s a lot of things of Jerry Garcia’s that I’d love to own. A guitar obviously, plus the ties adapted from his art are great. But man, a toilet’s still a toilet which is just a vessel for poo. Ghandi’s toilet shouldn’t be more desirable than Jerry Garcia’s toilet which shouldn’t be more desirable than Hitler’s toilet which shouldn’t be more desirable than Godwin’s. We should covet what their minds touched, not their asses. ---

Lieu…I’m shocked that you, of _all_ people, don’t see the beauty in owning a famous person’s salmon colored toilet. What the hell is this world coming to? ---

What’s really strange is that the outfit that bought the toilet also owns William Shatner’s kidney stones. ---

[quote=the linked article] Last month, Koltys sold the Grateful Dead singer’s toilet for $2,550 to online casino [Goldenpalace.com](http://Goldenpalace.com), which planned to use it as part of a traveling marketing exhibit. The casino is offering a $250 reward for its return. At least they’re being honest about where your money’s going to end up… Robin ---
