random what's trending tuesday... #shewee edition...

gonna try a new thing... devoting one blog a week (on tuesdays) to talk about what's trending on twitter... if you're on twitter, you know there's a little list on the left of your feed to show you what's trending that day... the things most twittering-types are twitting about...

and if you don't know, now you know.

welcome to today's edition of "what's trending tuesday - shewee edition"

the stuff that trends never fails to amaze me... as in, why in the h-e-double hockey sticks is that thing trending... on twitter... or anywhere?  so here goes... my first installment of "what's trending tuesday".

today the trend that caught my eye was #shewee... now i have to admit that i had no idea what a shewee was, so i clicked on it to see what kind of fascinating conversation was going on around this topic...

turns out a shewee is a urinating tool for women, you know... so we can pee like a man... because all that sitting down is evidently... exhausting...  ok, i'd be the first to admit that as a woman, one of the few things i'm a bit envious about men is the ability to pee standing up (that, and the whole menstrual thing...) but i'm not sure this fits the bill...

anyhow... men come equipped with this fancy "pee standing up" tool that women lack... and apparently "they" were right... necessity is the mother of invention (although the point of "necessity" here could be argued.)  have a watch as this fancy british gal explains how to "wee" like a man...

i'm not buying it... from what i can tell, you would just be left with a huge mess on your hands... literally... and then this other messy contraption that you would clearly have to put somewhere after you used it?  and i assume the whole point of using it would be places like camping or hiking or something like that... so what does one do with this thing that is disgustingly soiled upon one use?  and how many more things do we need in our lives to clean?

i can't even imagine how a topic like this started trending, but personally, i vote for the good old fashioned toilet... where i can have a seat... relax... and take a load off (if you will...) BUT, if you're intent on using this contraption... i have a better name...

the SheWhiz :)  because i'm super clever and stuff...
