I'm a huge fan of the Bongo as you all know, though I'm not nearly as cool a guy as Jack is.
Honestly, it DOES look like a toilet seat if you look at it that way. But y'know what? It does not matter one whit. I'm confident enough in my Bongoloid-hood to admit it and be proud of it.
I have yet to hear anyone actually make a toilet seat joke with my own ears. If I do, my response will be: "So what? Does it sound good or not?"
Too much has been made of the toilet seat thing IMHO.
I like toilet seats. They serve several very necessary functions, not least of which is to be the source of certain categories of male vs. female humor.
Embrace the toilet seat, both figuratively and literally. The toilet seat is your friend. Rest our arms upon it and contemplate the surface of the water in the bowl. Feel the coolness of the tank's porcelain upon your forehead and be thankful that there is such a convenient, sanitary place to deal with certain consequences of having too good a time, too quickly.
To paraphrase the saying: We're Bongoloids. We're here. Get used to it.
