Annual Reminder



One of the major responsibilities of the PlaidStallions Institute is to serve as a reminder that shag carpeting and toilets were once combined, we must ensure that this never, ever looks like a good idea again. Carry this grim reminder with you, my friends and share with everyone you know.

Home Bars: 1976




I know it sounds weird but home bars filled with weird swizzle sticks and glasses from "You keep the glass" specials at restaurants feel like childhood to me and always will...

Toilet Seats: 1975

I had the Owl one as a kid, being nostalgic for a toilet seat feels like rock bottom.
Things can only up from here!

Also, I had no idea it was #WorldToiletDay

Golden Bathroom Dreams


When I was 17, I had a job which involved tearing out the carpets in a couple of bathrooms that looked just like this. Now, if you'll excuse me I must go wash my hands for the rest of the month.

Planet of the Apes trashcan by Cheinco


So, I needed a trash can for my office, a kind of mundane task I guess but because my whole room is decked out in vintage stuff, I decided the can itself had to be vintage.


It took me a while, mostly because the ones I kept finding were Hockey (I do live in Canada) or stuff like "Strawberry Shortcake" that really don't work for me.

I finally settled on Planet of the Apes because 1) I like Planet of the Apes and 2) I had this in my room as a kid after finding it at a yard sale. 

So, lo and behold, my new garbage can, enjoy humans...

Avacado Paradise


The biggest fight I ever had with my wife was whether the bathroom should be avocado or violet. She didn't want either.

Smile!


It's ironic that all of this would soon be replaced by the frowning face of Garfield...

Bean Bag Love



I'm doing a renovation on my basement, any rumpus room seems eerily incomplete without at least one of these.....

Fuzzy Toilet Horrors


"fuzzy white carpet on a toilet" is the number one answer on the Family Feud survey of "Regrettable decor choices" for 45 years running.

Record Go Round


I'm thrilled vinyl has returned to the malls but I keep mine in a boring old box. I wish there were classy alternatives like this  so my record collection would fly all over the room every time I want to put something on the hi-fi.
