A pee with a view

Urinals200Old pal and blogger-to-be Yolonda shares the following:

“Nuts & Volts Magazine now has a monthly feature of “fascinating websites.”  This month’s strange nominee is Urinal.net. The site’s a few years old, so you may have “passed” this way before (so to speak).  I thought of you because of your pissing dwarf Twitter contest entry.  My favorite  – a pee with a view in Kowloon.”

And I’m pretty sure I can’t “go” with the entire city of Kowloon watching.

And I can’t mention urinals with acknowledging my own fascination with theater restrooms. Specifically, how damned good I look in theater restrooms.  My first post on this was in April of 2002, but I didn’t get up my courage to document it until 2004.

Coppyblogger Twitter Writing Contest

May 30, 2008

Congratulations to Ron Gould, first place winner the Coppyblogger Twitter Writing Contest. His winning entry:

“Time travel works!” the note read. “However you can only travel to the past and one-way.” I recognized my own handwriting and felt a chill.

Second place honors went to Anthony Juliano:

"Tony was a snitch, so I wasn’t surprised when his torso turned up in the river. What did surprise me, though, was where they found his head."

Thelonius Monk took third place for:

"When Gibson hit that homerun in the fall of eighty-eight, my old man had never been so happy. He hugged me for the first time. I was eleven."

The challenge was to write a story in exactly 140 characters. I fear my humble submission was too… belittling? Too pissy? We’ll never know.

"To my immediate left, a hipster dwarf leaned into his urinal, cleverly achieving a haunting reverb for his "big" finish to Unchained Melody."

It’s a guy thing

UrinalsI came across this really amazing photo of urinals in a men’s room (larger image) and remembered posting on this topic about a year ago. When I went searching for the earlier post I discovered my link now takes me to a page full of unusual urinals.

Perhaps one’s fascination with urnials increases with age and we spend more and more time gazing at bland men’s room walls.
