Urinals

Hemingway had a urinal (though admittedly not in his bathroom, but then he was too manly for bathrooms anyway

 

The Trough. The sounds of flowing water set the mood and help initiate the onset of urination.

Then you can watch your downstream flow mix with various shades of yellow, with the strongest bright yellows indicating who has the best balanced diet or who has taken the strongest multivitamin.

And as Vers points out, no looking at other people's pride and joy.

Common at some sporting venues, The Trough is only superseded by The Wall. The Wall features a waterfall along the walls down to the troughs on the floor. They are great for all heights including kids.

The Wall setup that I've seen recently is at UDelaware.

 

I would so go to a bar to watch Hemingway's Urinal play.

 

The last place I saw a trough was the LA Sports Arena.

City Stadium in Richmond had the waterfall slabs of you peed against.

 

Can't believe Im going to participate in this thread...

Here's some urinal behavior that bugs me: Don't use the little kids one if you're an adult. Hate when I take my son and there's a grown up using the little one. And he can't always wait long.

On another note: whenever I see the empty kids urinal it makes me miss my son.

 

And as Frank Reynolds has shown, a urinal is good for if you want to waterboard someone.

 

The Yale Bowl did it right. After initially forgetting to install bathrooms (among a slew of other mess-ups), they installed the troughs. Even as a young child I remember appreciating them. No awkward, smaller-than-all-the-other ones urinal either. That's equality at its finest.

 

You register to tell us of the Yale Bowl urine troughs?

 

Heh. I can't get my roomie, who's a very germ-obsessed woman to clean 'em, so that leaves it up to me. I also get stuck with all the doggie messes. When I come home at night and see that Belle left a calling card, I know it's been there for hours. Roomie had every chance to clean it up but can't bring herself to do it even with gloves on. Thankfully, the many people who owned the house before me never put a carpet down in the bathroom. That's among the worst ideas of all time.

 

Nope. Re-registered because I was stupid enough to use my real name the first time. Couldn't pass up a substantive thread like this though.

 

I remember the troughs at the old Cleveland Stadium. When I was a kid, two guys got in a fight in the bathroom, one a Browns fan and the other a Steelers fan. Browns fan won by KO and a bunch of guys waiting in line chose not to wait and used him as a human trough.

The KO was the best hit of the day for anyone on the side of the Browns (unfortunately).

 

The first unassisted visit to the trough at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum was like a bar mitzvah - that was the day you became a man.
