I've never been much on checking my phone while taking a numbered constitutional-I just never developed the habit. Instead, well, A.A. Milne said it best: "Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits." (I doubt highly that this quote was in context to his dump-taking habits, but I suppose it does describe my own rather well.)
The thoughts and ideas amassed in this collection have been fleshed out to the best of my ability, but yes, many were conceived whilst sitting upon the Porcelain Throne. To me it seemed as good enough a focal point for an essay collection as any other.
I hope you enjoy them.
