I just entered my Avatar into a competition by The Museum of Particularly Bad Art. For those of you who do not know, my avatar is actually a timber toilet seat lid decked out with alloy door handles I found during hard rubbish collections. I consider it bad/funky art with a definite tongue-in-cheek attitude. I don't care if I win or not, it just for the fun of it and to contribute entry money to a worthwhile cause. Joe.

A tongue in cheek toilet seat? I don't like the sounds of that. Is it in use? That would be cool. Very creative however. I would never have guessed it was a toilet seat. Hope it does well. Good for constipation. Scare the crap out of you!

Hi Joe,
Never in a million years would I have thought of it as a toilet seat! I loved Rooster's reply, "good for constipation because it would scare the crap out of you". LOL Good luck in the competition, win or lose, its a winner in my book, but not on my toilet seat.

That's the coolest toilet seat I've ever seen. Never had a clue that's what it was. Good Luck

Hi Rooster, thanks for the neat comments. No, the lid is not in current use. LOL I have sterilised it thoroughly and hung it on my wall.

Hi Dan, I am surprised noone guessed it to be a toilet seat. I thought it was very obvious! Glad you got a giggle out of it. As I said, not serious art in my books.
