Porcelain Paradise or Apocalypse

I don't have pictures, but if others have them, post them. Point out and describe or post a picture of the best and worst styles of urinals and tell why. This is strictly opinion based, so lets not get in a flaming pissing match.

I don't like the steel urinals in national park latrines. They have 40 urinal cakes and are often shallow which causes you to spray back at yourself.

I like the long ones that go from shoulder height to the floor. If the little man is saluting you can piss upand it has a nice flow back down. If he's taking a nap, you don't have to disturb him much to take aim. The downside is you might get your ankles wet depending on the type of urinal.

I like urinals with seperators so I don't accidentally look at some guys dick and he dosn't accidentally look at mine. The whole urinal design system is very gay, like one room high school showers in the 50s.

I like the way the way you've used italics when someone is looking at your dick but are are quite relaxed, on the font front, when it comes to you studying some other guys ****

The Japanese style toilet...I won't even use them. I'd rather find a dark corner to crap in...

And just in case you are wondering how to use this crapper, you can

Its safe to watch, no worries!!

AND...to make things worse, a lot of public toilets here actual make you pay for toilet paper...so don't forget to buy before walking in.

The rules of public urinals is simple...you either:

look up
look down
or
look straight ahead

Looking to the side will get you busted upside the head. There is no accidently to it you know where it's at, you either look or you don't look...be advised...don't look.

Also, if there are three urinals that are unoccupied, always pick an end one - it reduces the chances that the next guy in will pick one next to you.

The worst urinals are the troughs they put in baseball parks and other stadiums. Very embarassing when all the other guys give you dirty looks because of your obvious blessing

Yes Grasshoppar....beware of man selecting mid-range urinal when ends are open.

[flaninacupboard]

they should just make every other urinal not a urinal. a nice sculpture or something. i hate the steel ones, they're so noisy, and when the pee goes from vertical to horizontal in the bottom of the trough you get mucho splashback. i also hate urinals in the work place. i don't want to be taking a piss and my boss come stands next to me. you get that horrible silence, where you know he needs to tell you something, but will wait till one of you is washing your hands, otherwise you're just two blokes having a chat while holding onto your dicks

That japanese toilet is fucked up. seriously.

In 1985 the city of Beijing was in the early stages of a complete
makeover. Workers from the suburbs (semi rural areas) were
employed in their hundreds of thousands to do the menial work.
As a result there was some overcrowding, even by Chinese
standards.

Westerners as tourists were still an oddity so no "western"
facilities were available outside special government buildings,
the rare hotel (there were two) and some entertainment venues. So, as
I was to discover, your basic Chinese surburban restroom
was Spartan to say the least.

Imagine a 3 walled room, more like a barn with a roof, one wall
for standing up and one with tiles (explain shortly). Imagine 12 or so shallow bore holes in a slab of concrete, with sluices at the back (gravity was supposed to take the business to a pit outside.) These holes
were in the center of the room ( it was nothing to enter a room and
have to make your way around half a dozen squatting citizens - careful
not to tip any over which was commonplace.)

Now comes the icky part. The tiles. The tiles were the toilet paper!
No kidding! Your average Joe would do his business, splash himself
with a bit of water by the tap, and wipe a brown smear down the tiles
top to bottom. Often the walls were completely covered, but people
were employed to mop them down, so they never got too thick.
Things, of course, have changed now.

Breakfast anyone?

jesus christ, that's fucked up. dogs do that on the carpet!

even the romans were better than that 2,000 years ago

[Capmaster]

Jeez - that sounds like when every once in a blue moon my dog will come in from the back yard, sit on the carpet, put his hind legs in the air, and use his front paws to pull himself along - leaving a hellacious skid mark on the carpet. Then I gotta get the Clorox spray and spend the next 10 minutes removing it. ******* dog

But people dragging their asses across tiles to wipe themselves
Remind me never to date any chinese chicks ......you'd have to work past the crust to get to anything interesting Sick savages .......

Easy there Cap....some of us like a little crust on our pie. :P :P

I hope they're ...umm ... more "western" in the hygeine department In otherwords, I hope the Cobra lair doesn't have skid marks on the walls

[Cobra]

Errrr... Hhhmmmmm....

[Capmaster]

Errrr... Hhhmmmmm....

Well, as the cleaning staff can attest, your wall and door decorations are .....erhmm ...unconventional

By the way, it didn't take long for Darklord to run screaming from this place, trying desperately to hang on to his sanity, eh? Or maybe we haven't seen him in several days because he's got exams of something. Is he coming back Cobra? Or is he showing good judgment?

[Cobra]

We've all got exams coming up, DarkLord has his in this week coming and mine start on Friday and continue for three weeks. He should be back after next week though.

We're meant to be working hard, but everyone here is finding it impossible to get into revision. I certainly am.

Ahh, good. We're all anxious to nurture an aspiring post whore

Revision? What's that exactly? Revisionism maybe?

[Cobra]

Revision is the worst time for a student. We are forced to do work.

I KNEW IT!

MY TAX POUNDS ARE PAYING FOR YOU TO LAY AROUND WANKING ALL DAY WH......

oh, wait. you're using your OWN pounds to lay around wanking all day. move along, nothing to see here...

[Cobra]

It would be very nice if the government were to give us even a small grant. £3000 for the year isn't enough to cover residence, tuition, food and all the rest of it.

I am lucky - my parents pay tuition and residence, and I had saved up £3000-odd before I came here - my student loan is intact for this year. I currently have a £200 overdraft, though which I will be able to work off in the summer.

I will come out with a lot of debt still, in spite of my being careful. The government are aiming to have 50% of people going through uni - why? You know you can take football studies? Go to UCAS, do a course search and see how your tax is being spent.

Now, why not scrap those courses and divert the money and resources towards subjects that are useful, as opposed to those that are worth nothing to man nor beast.

Well the Romans pretty much invented bathing and were constantly
concerned about hygiene in their cities and provinces. It was
common for the Pictii, Damonii, Votadini, and Caledonii inhabitants of Great Briton to pass from cradle to the grave without a wash until
80A.D when the Romans arrived.

jesus christ, that's fucked up. dogs do that on the carpet!

Yeah but consider about 3,000+ people for every mile
- the influx of workers from the country made things awfully tight.

The funny thing was, just walking around, the city was the cleanest on
earth. There were thousands just employed to sweep the streets. Given
another Chinese bad habit of blowing ones nose onto the ground, I
would have hated to see the result of a strike!

Revision? What's that exactly? Revisionism maybe?

I think Cobra is being over-generous, I've done about 2 hours of revision this week end. In reflection, my ambitions to become a post-whore king were probably over-estimating my concentration span and I think it's best to take early retirment following a glorious career of 5 posts and stick to lurking!

Too bad. A post whore trainee would have been fun.

Alas, Darklord shows good judgment after all

[Doramius]

I was visiting outside Santiago, Chile a few years ago and there they have no shame. Walking down a road some women would just stop, move to the side of the road and squat a turd. Sometimes they grab a tree to keep them from falling. It was similar in Honduras, however, they clean the streets every so often by flooding them. I can tell you it's a bit odd seeing a bunch of week old poops floating down the street.

I'll have to find my old 'choose the correct urinal' test for those of you who need urinal male ettiquette.
