To Westerners, the outhouse had always seemed a fitting memorial to the ingenuity and practicality of their founders, those restless, imaginative spirits who first caught the scent of opportunity in the Western breeze.

No, we're not kidding! 

Outhouses were, after all, very much a part of the American West.  Actually, to be more succinct, they're part of all history.  However, these old structures, in all their glory, are quickly becoming extinct.  We just couldn't help but add a little something about these important Western Icons!  'Sides, we took a whole bunch of pictures of these "necessaries," which were also referred to as privies, toilets, loos, thrones, and crappers.

While doing a little traveling around the Web World, we were surprised to find there are apparently a whole lot of people who like to read and/or write about Outhouses.  We found outhouse tours, outhouse jokes, outhouse races, outhouse books, and lots of outhouse pictures!  Hmm, perhaps we're not so impaired.  We'll let you decide as you check out the Outhouse Links

We are, however, the only one that we could find that offers an Outhouse Screensaver!  (well, that's not entirely true -- we clicked on one link and downloaded a nasty little virus!)

Best news is:  It's FREE! 

The Outhouse Screensaver is available just because you came to visit!!  We call our effort at "historical preservation" the Crapper Saver!  It's just for "shits and grins," pardon the pun, but if we put a smile on a face or two then we've met our objective!!

The Outhouse Screensaver might just be a "hoot" in your executive or corporate office.  At the very least, send it to Dad for for his birthday or Father's Day!!  If you're like the rest of us, you have no idea what to send anyway, cuz, of course, Dad has everything!

 

If you want something that you can "wrap up" as a gift, you can also order the Crapper Saver on CD!  Click HERE for more information.

 

 

  

 

My uncle lowered and angled a long board down the hole and the cat climbed unhurt, but stinky, to safety. 

 

I'm not sure who was in the most danger,

me or the cat.
