Farewell Mike Knapp and HTT (1 Viewer)

[Carlo_M]

Now that brings back memories. I still can't remember which TP method won the debate...

Mike, you'll be missed. I fully understand about rearranging priorities in life, so I wish you all the best.

Please do check in every now and again, though. Best of luck to you!

 

[Travis Hedger]

I think I classify as remembering some of the classic Knapp posts. You will be missed.

 

[JonZ]

Best of luck and thanks for your contributions over the years!

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

Carlo,
I just thought that TP, big honking wires, and MDF would serve as a "Knappshot".

 

[Mike Knapp]

That toilet paper is hung incorrectly by the way.

[Dennis Nicholls]

Now wait a minute...

I have cats. If you hang the TP the other way, they will pull it all off into a pile on the floor.

What I posted is the only right, rightous, and correct way to hang TP.

Anybody who thinks otherwise is a bubble-headed dufus.

 

[Carlo_M]

Actually Mike is correct. Anyone who insists that TP should be rolled from underneath has not participated in controlled double-blind tests that ultimately show the superiority of having toilet paper unrolled from the top.

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

Anyone ever get hit with an overwhelming sense of fear when you try to get a new roll started but you sometimes end up tearing it down the middle and you try desperately to peel it so that it's not all messed up? You just feel like you're never going to find the real end?

I hate that.

BTW, mine hangs from the back.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

Hey Mike,

Sorry to hear that HTT is giving you agita. Hopefully we'll see your pretty face around here now and then!

 

[Cees Alons]

Hanging the TP from the back may increase the friction, especially when it's still a bigger roll, causing you to tear off a dumb piece of paper (between thumb and index finger) which you have to throw away unused (while the piece of paper it came from is also less usable). This leads to TP-inefficiency -> more costs and negative environmental effects.

Because of the specific gesture you generall use tear off TP, the little piece often falls to the floor, where you have to retrieve it from a rather difficult and tight spot and you're being forced to assume an awkward body position getting it. (Remember you needed that paper to do something you haven't done yet at that moment.)

Not worth it at all.


IMO.

Isn't it the environmental thing to do only use one square of paper per bathroom visit?

I love Sheryl Crow's music, but I wouldn't want to shake her hand...

 

[Kevin Alexander]

This whippersnapper wishes you success in your new direction. See ya around Mike!

 

[JonZ]

"That toilet paper is hung incorrectly by the way."

A weakness of mine. I always turn them around when I see them like that.

 

[Dheiner]

Why are you calling that a weakness. Taking the time to correct an obvious mistake like that shows that you care for your fellow man.

 

[Chris Maynard]

The TP thread was from me.

Charmin vs Quilted Northern. My azz can tell the difference!

Mike - I wish you all the best and I hope to see you again in the near future.

 

[Clinton McClure]

We're gonna miss you Mike. Take care.

 

[Marty M]

Mike,
I don't know if you are still looking in on this thread, but if you are I want to wish you well. Your wit and charm will be missed.

Thanks, Patrick, for directing me to this thread. I did a search, but was only searching for the name of Mike's site, not his name.

 

[TonyD]

he hasnt said he's leaving HTF.
he is closing shop on his own web site.

 

[Keith Paynter]

"Maalox!"

 

[Brian Lawrence]

Probably because I never ventured outside of the the "Armchair" section, but I'd been checking in at HTT pretty much every day, and I had no idea it was folding. I'd been checking back about 5 times a day waiting for it to come back, so I could update my film list. :frowning:
