About toiletoctopus
Toiletoctopus? Who on Earth would use that as their user name on Epinions.com? I have received this question so many times, and I don't think there's anything wrong with my sanity...yet. I have my lovely wife to thank for that, as she has been the inspiration for many of my better ideas. A few years ago, I decided to buy her a stuffed animal octopus while at the National Aquarium. I thought she would like it, as it was beautiful-orange with yellow spots, and huge protruding eyes. It seemed like a no-brainer romantic gift, and I figured she would be very appreciative. I came home to bring her this wonderful gift, and her reaction shocked me. She said, "I don't like it." I was disappointed, and bordering on being devastated. It would have been smart to have brought her home a dozen roses, but here I was with this stupid octopus. Finally, after what seemed to be more than the usual moment of silence, she looked at me with a stern look that could raise the Titanic. "Where did you get this, from the toilet?" I busted out laughing, and it made for a funny afternoon. While she has still not totally warmed up to the stuffed animal octopus somewhere in a plastic bag downstairs, it has come up from time to time. So what does a guy named Mike, with the user name Toiletoctopus enjoy? Other than spending time on Epinions and browsing the web,(perhaps the greatest invention ever)I enjoy outdoor activities. If I didn't have to work for a living , I would spend almost everyday hunting and fishing. My retirement plan is such, but it will have to wait. I also like spending time camping, biking, white water rafting, downhill skiing, and hiking with my sometimes loyal Chinese Sharpei.(If I have food she's by my side, if not she's in her doggie bed or elsewhere) Mike
You Are a Conservative Democrat
Frankly, the way most other Democrats behave embarasses you greatly.
You pride yourself on a high level of morals, and you have a good grasp on right and wrong.
It's likely you think America needs to get back to its conservative, Juedo-Christian values.
Why aren't you a Republican then? Because you believe the goverment helps more than hurts.
Your Personality Is Like Cocaine
You're dynamic, brilliant, and alluring to those who don't know you.
Hyper and full of energy, you're usually the last one to leave a party.
Sometimes your sharp mind gets the better of you... you're a bit paranoid!
You Belong in the USA
Sweet!
People either love you or hate you
And you really don't care what anyone thinks
Big and bold, you do things your way
Your Scholastic Strength Is Deep Thinking
You aren't afraid to delve head first into a difficult subject, with mastery as your goal.
You are talented at adapting, motivating others, managing resources, and analyzing risk.

You should major in:

Philosophy
Music
Theology
Art
History
Foreign language

create your own personalized map of the USA
create your own visited country map
