Hacking the Mundane: Bath Mats

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

As a generally overwashed society, the bath mat is something you will encounter with regularity. Why not make it a pleasurable encounter?

I searched the giant retail warehouses in my area for an affordable bath mat that didn’t feel or look like cheap carpet without success.

So, I turned to the Great Online Emporium and found a selection that surpassed my criteria:

They are on sale for $18 USD — cheaper than my worst options in the retail store.

Organic, washable, square not rectangle and an opportunity to be synchronous without being overmatched.

I felt like something was won in the great battle against Bed, Bath and Be-yooond (Be-yooond here said in your best movie studio echo voice).

That is all.

Hello.

…stolen long ago and never replaced.

I met this old lady once who stopped growing vegetables because she walked into her garden one day to find an adult man with brown paper sack straight helping himself to whatever he wanted!

I always thought it was supremely sad that she let her bitterness over the theft kill her love of gardening. Also, that man should be ashamed - grocery shopping in an old lady’s back yard like that!

So, maybe it’s time l get a new player and let the booty shaking, foot stomping good times roll. again.
