is actually called "REREDORTER"! ;-) ). It's an existing word in any
case - not one of my own `coined' words such as "Purgundation" ;-)

I seemed to remember from high-school history that a reredorter is
the
toilet in a (medieval) monastery, so "REREDORTER" is Room 33 in
Goodnite Luddite, and the Toilet is a wooden box with a circular hole
in the top! ;-)
I rarely make a JSW game without a toilet or two! ;-) Goodnite
Luddite
also has an outside toilet in "THE LATRINE OF YOUR DENIAL".
