Shower Control Device - Kah-Nee-Ta, Oregon

This is the shower water temperature/water flow control panel from a hotel room in Kah-Nee-Ta, near Mount Hood. I was unhappy with the range of temperature possibilities (from 'cold' to 'warmish') and the integration of water flow in the same device which controlled temperature -- your choices for water flow were simply 'on' and 'off'. Because of these failings, I thought I'd take a picture of the device. I think it makes good wallpaper.

what would be cool is if you turned on the tap and sap flowed out. hot and cold running sap. I guess it would have to be warm and warmer sap, given the viscosity of sap.

I'll bet you could convince ladies with skin insecurities that it was good for them to take a sap soak at a spa. it sounds fairly punishing, though. first you'd take the sap soak, then you'd have to get coated in butter to get it all off again.

then you would be well-nigh irresistable to dogs and cats, but maybe also squirrels, when you walked down the street.

I think more perfumes and colognes should be savory, rather than sweet. like butter, or meat.

as the man's wife, I'd like to point out that this is NOT reflecto-porn. you can see that he is fully clothed.

So . . . Pixies?
