I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Maude does not rhyme with God in most parts of the United States. Maybe just where you are.

It's not as close as Rod and Todd but as Ned had to penetrate Maude to get them they got closer to God.

Maude rhymes with sawed or clawed. The middle dipthong is "aw" as in Pawtucket, or caudle.

God rhymes with cod or pod. The middle vowel is "ah" as in flan or Khan.

At least wherever I've heard it here in the US. Elsewhere it may be different, as I admitted.

I always forget, I can never really get the differences between some common pairs like that. It's like my brain just smooths them over so they sound the same no matter what.

Obligatory boring regional difference post that I still feel the need to post: as an Australian your first paragraph was fine but the middle paragraph made my brain do a hard reset. God, flan and Khan all have totally different vowel sounds to me.

This is actually true, you can get an adapter hose and turn your sink into a bidet.

I dunno what US toilet outlets look like but I have a wall-mounted spigot in the toilet that I just put a splitter on to have two hoses, one for the cistern, one for the bidet.

Just like that, but people call it a shutoff valve rather than a spigot (if they even know it's there.) In plumbing lingo it's called an angle stop.

The bidet attachment is awesome.

Sorry to keep the bidet derail going but there are little adjustable tankless water heaters you can put in line to the b-hose too, in the 100-150 USD range

Hope this helps someone figure out how to set up the ultimate DIY bidet hose attachment :)

My house didn't come with an outlet in convenient distance to the toilet. Only reason I'm not making GBS threads like a king from atop a Toto. No idea how much it would cost to put one in, but I'm betting more than $200.
