New
York
(ANI):
Queens
comedian
Mark
Malkoff
is
known
for
the
quirky
things
he
is
always
up
to,
but
this
is
his
best
yet,
or
worst,
as
he
lives
in
his
bathroom
to
get
rid
of
his
Internet
addiction.
"A
while
back,
I
noticed
that
many
of
the
things
that
I
have
tried
to
accomplish
on
an
average
day
were
not
getting
done
because
I
was
online
so
much," The
New
York
Daily
News
quoted
the
Malkoff
as
saying.
"I
didn't
know
where
else
in
New
York
City
that
I
could
go
that
would
not
have
any
distractions
or
temptations.
So
I
barricaded
myself
in
my
bathroom
for
five
days,"
he
added.
But
the
one
thing
he
didn't
know
would
irk
him
the
most
was
the
colour
of
his
bathroom.
"The
worst
part
is
the
colour.
Whoever
designed
this
pink
bathroom
wanted
to
torture
me.
This
colour
is
just
ugly,"
he
complained.
He
admits
that
his
net
addiction
got
so
bad
at
one
time,
he
would
leave
his
wife
on
dates
to
go
and
check
his
Facebook
and
Twitter
updates.
Unfortunately
for
Malkoff's
wife,
Christine,
the
solution
to
his
problem
has
just
created
another,
more
awkward,
issue.
"Initially
she
went
to
Starbucks
to
go
to
the
bathroom,
because
we
only
have
one
in
our
apartment.
But
today
she
came
in
and
used
the
toilet
while
I
wore
earplugs
and
hid
behind
the
shower
curtain,"
Malkoff
said.
He
will
attempt
to
read
'Gravity's
Rainbow',
learn
how
to
knit,
write
a
love
letter
to
his
wife
and
learn
how
to
play
"Every
Rose
Has
Its
Thorn"
on
guitar
to
stave
off
boredom.
And
sanitation
doesn't
seem
to
be
an
issue
at
all.
"I
have
dishwashing
soap,
so
every
time
I'm
about
to
eat,
I
wash
my
bowl.
And
let's
be
honest,
I
can't
imagine
this
is
any
less
sanitary
than
some
of
the
diners
in
New
York,"
he
said.
Stunts
like
this
are
nothing
new
to
Malkoff.
He
once
lived
on
a
commercial
airplane
to
conquer
his
fear
of
flying,
consumed
something
at
every
Starbucks
in
Manhattan
and
hitched
rides
on
strangers' backs
for
9.8
miles
across
New
York.
