A Shocking Report from Phil "Roadside Chili" Morosky... We asked Phil to scope out the situation in Boron, home of the late King of Toilet Seat Arts. It is as we feared. According to relatives of John Kostopoulos, after his death in 1996, "The seats were taken down as soon as possible and shipped to the dump. A few got into private hands but no one is displaying them. There is some talk of trying to retrieve the few that are around and MAYBE have the local museum display them. Hard to tell what will happen."
