I heard about his in the radio this AM, and had to take a look: [The Dagobert “Throne”](http://www.homeclick.com/showpage.asp?itemid=4038&rate=dago). Now, if _you_ had US$4200+ to throw around, would _you_ buy this…? What other Bathroom oddities would you buy, if cost were no object…? ---

How about [this?](http://www.hangfung.com/home.cfm?Mid=280&popup=0) (Scroll down to the middle of the page…) Worlds most expensive toilet, I believe. ---

I love the Dagobert “Throne”. It just needs a built in magazine rack on the side! ---

Personally, I don’t think I’d spend nearly enough time in the bathroom to fully appreciate such a throne. Quite the conversation piece, tho. Honestly, I can’t think of anything in the bathroom that’d be worth several thousand dollars to me. It’s a basic, utilitarian room, or should be - go in, do what must be done, get out. I’d rather gussy up the kitchen or living room than a bath or bedroom. I’m so practical, I’m boring… ---

Damn. If I had one of those, I’d have to have it installed in the living room. It’d be easier to see the TV, though. 🙂 ---

And the poem that is on it…someone actually wrote a poem about going to the bathroom. _laughs_ ---

Wow. I’d love to have that! I might even be tempted to take up smoking again just so I could use the built-in ashtray. ---
