Just thought I'd check in on Ektachrome.
I think I just stepped in something...

It was Thomas Crapper not John and his company is still going after 150 years https://www.thomas-crapper.com/He must have made a lot of crap to deserve that name!
The Wikipedia article about him disputes that, says the word “crap” already existed before him coming up with the flushing toilet.
Whatever the story is, it’s funny as hell!
Yeah, but it just sounds wrong if I say, "Excuse me, I need to go to the tom".
Yes, john sounds better.
John confuses me. It means at least 2 different things... one of which I have no interest.Yes, john sounds better.
At least you can say it "at our own convenience".Yes, I am very eager to hear about Ektachrome finally hitting stores and all... but, in the meantime, all we have to say is crap.

Or "restore myself to my personal comfort...." ?
Uhh, yeah... one I'd sit on... not the other.

he never invented the flusing toilet he just had a very successful plumbing business and americans in england around ww1 saw his plaque everywhere
it was just good advertising.
what he did invent was the swan neck UNDER toilet bowl to keep the foul stench "out"
AND
the made improvements to the ballcock/shuttlecock ( float ) ...
but HE NEVER INVENTED the flushing toilet...
that was invented by someone else a few hundred years earlier ( 1500s )
and improved upon in the 1700s and mid 1800s by other people but not crapper.

A very nice history lesson... and a refreshing break from the juvenile humor... and in some instances... humour. I had no idea that you were a toilet scholar in addition to your other skills/knowledges!
New post from Kodak re Ektachrome on their Instagram feed - predicted release 'Fall'.

Never been on AOL. Not even once.
It's where people go to post selfies and follow influencers*
*Actually there's some pretty good photographers on Instagram, and an active film community
I just check out this Instagram. It's laughable. A joke. You are right. Selfies everywhere. A place for narcissistic folks it seems.
