Urinal of the Day

posted by on May 25 at 10:07 AM

It’s enough to make a man pee sitting down.

Via Newspeak—the Colorado Springs blog that is, it appears, positively obsessed with urinals. There’s a link to a weird-and-wonderful urinal site on Newspeak. Me and the boyfriend are talking about putting in a urinal if we ever have our ugly 70s bathroom torn out—because, hey, it’s all dudes at our place, so why not? Well, thanks to Newspeak I found the urinal we’re gonna get…

A “Mother May I” urinal will go pretty well with the rest of my Catholic kitsch. Yeah, it’ll be hard on our pee shy friends—the whiners—but we could make it worse for ‘em

Watch out for the grammar sharks, Dan! Having a urinal at home would be the shit, but I would feel uneasy pissing into the guts of a spreadeagled porcelain man every morning.

Wow. A pee and a poke.

Hehe. A similar urinal featuring a female-ish mouth got NOW pissed off a while back. Should I, as a guy, be enraged over this horrible objectification now?

Might be best to put this one behind a NSFW tag. Hilarious, though.

Hey, is that the one they have at the New Life Church in Colorado Springs?

Here's my favorite urinal from Amsterdam:

Much more delightful for the hetro peeps.

Seriously, Dan. Penis = NSFW. You guys should know this by now.

Either I or the sculptor of those universals doesn't understand anatomy very well.

Please don't turn around and sit on it. You'll pee all over the floor. Other people have to use it too!

This is a whole new spin on the Duchamp urinal debate "Is it art?"

some friends of mine had a urinal in their bathroom, along with a regular toilet. it was a brilliant idea, especially for parties. you boys just loooove to pee on the floor when you are drunk.

Do they make on as a bidet?

Seriously: SLOG tech guys, is there a way that I can filter Dan out until I get home? I feel like *I'm* the prude asking him to hide his NSFW photos, but it will never change, and I actually did get into a weird situation with one of his posts last week. Is there some way (a feed?) that I could get slog without going to the website? Thanks!

@18 - most web browsers have a "Load images" option that you could turn off; in Firefox, it's under "Preferences->Content". Turning it off will load up the text of the page only.

If you're really thinking about installing a urinal in your bathroom, you need to install more than one--that way, you'll truly capture that special tea room ambiance gay men crave.

Also: urinal cakes. Stock up.

Oh--and have fun at IML, if you're going.

Not going to IML, Boomer. Which is nuts--grew up in Chicago, never been to IML. Every year my boyfriend promises me that we can go next year. He's a liar.

Elswinger and I clearly think alike; I was looking at that thinking how effective that would be as a bidet for that "not-so-fresh" feeling. It has a faucet for internal cleansing and everything.

@14 I am a girl. I'd still be peeing in it if I sat on it in reverse.
