Introducing Bo De Toilette


By Chris Dempsey LM64

As my second potty nickel match following "The Woodsman," I thought this carver wouldn't be as much fun to name. Ultimately, it turned out this one was even more fun. Here is a short list of names I went through to come up with the name for this carver: Porcelain Pete, Barry Dingle, Scrappy, Squeezy, Stinker Von Thinker, Shooter, The Baker, and The Royal Commodian. And those are just the cleaner ones. Ultimately, per the usual, I was encouraged by cleaner minds to take the high road. As such, I chose "Bo de Toilette," a play on words from the French "Eau de Toilette."
