Band Name of the Day

11/17/04’s illustrious band:

Niche Market

Brought to you by the highly specialized and competitive world of toilet paper sales and promotion.

Remember Rest Room World, the catalog of all things needed for the care and feeding of the public facility? Well, now there's www.JustToiletPaper.com, a web site devoted to toilet paper and toilet paper accessories for the well-appointed home powder room.¹ You can buy toilet paper in a variety of monograms and seasonal prints, or even have a few rolls printed with your company logo for advertising purposes. (Why you'd want to invite potential customers to wipe their behinds with your product is a mystery to me, but then again, I'm not a highly trained advertising executive.) Before anyone rushes to buy me a case of duckie paper for Sensational Acres, though, please do some research into quality.

Interestingly, JustToiletPaper.com does not sell only toilet paper. You can also purchase monogrammed coasters, purse hangers (for dangling your purse from the edge of a table; beats tossing it on the floor of a restaurant), T-shirts, and toilet paper accessories. My favorite is the doohickey that turns a normal toilet paper dispenser into a double decker so you're never without backup. "Don't get caught with your pants down!" says the ad. Excellent advice.
