it comes in pints?

It is on its way to being the 8th Wonder of the World.

Next time you're in New York, we have to go take a crap there. I mean, go check it out. Sorry.

Sheila,
How do I put this? Um...even with you being a trusted friend who described this experience in detail and even provided photographs as supporting evidence...I...well...

I don't believe you. At least I won't let myself. If I do, I'm afraid I'll be completely taken over by that contempt for the human race you described.

Yes, I will see it with my own eyes the next time I'm in New York. I will seek it out. Hell, it might possibly be the very reason for my journey.

Until then, nope. There. Is. No. Such. Place.

Now we know what Dr. Forrester and Frank have been up to since MST3000 ended - a bathroom experience that destroys your mind.

I wonder if it's open 24 hours.

I might have to take a trip into Times Square at 4 a.m. just to check it out.

I'll keep you all posted. I know you're DYING to hear more.

And Emily - I do not blame you for not believing me. It's the sort of thing that you just need to experience first-hand before you can actually accept that it exists.

Just give me a chance to get acclimated to the whole idea of the place. It takes time, like the stages of grief and acceptance. I'm sure I will overcome my fear some day.

I showed my friend those pictures and she praised Xenu, since apparently the last time she was in Times Square the only restroom available was in some skanky McDonald's.

All hail, Charmin!

OMG, it's on YouTube.

Watch this one, too, Lisa.

"Charmin has come up with the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory version of Poo."

Okay, I am utterly fascinated by this place.

Is it open 24/7? Are the dancers there all the time, or they just "opening day" entertainment? Is there a time limit for stall occupancy? What if you're constipated? Or passing a kidney stone? Do you get to cut in line if you have a kid who's holding himself and doing the pee dance?

I HAVE TO KNOW.

Sheila was wondering the same thing about the 24/7 deal. As for the dancers, the video I link to says it was taken on 11/30 and Sheila presumably had this experience within the last couple of days and since both documented these dancers, I would assume they are there during all operational hours.

The first comment on that post is:

When did we turn into Japan?

Which is exactly what I was thinking.

The semi-public aspect is probably meant to cut down on the number of trysts and drug overdoses that would otherwise occur in a place like that.

Angie,
I never thought of it from that aspect. I love it - they probably hired a team of psychologists to figure out a way to avoid it becoming a stinkhole filled with unsavory people.

"I know. Turn the place into a theme park."

I would highly recommend NOT going to this place if you suffer from constipation.

Because you'd sit in the bathroom for half an hour - and everyone would KNOW that you were in there - and ... the emotional pressure of that is just too horrible to contemplate. If you're constipated and need some time to work out your issues, then you MUST go to a Barnes and Noble bathroom or the Port Authority bathroom - where there are anonymous lines of stalls and you can stay in there as long as you want and no one will ever know.

I'm thinking of going there with a good book the next time I'm in NY. I'm going to sit there and read, just to see how long it takes before someone comes in to check on me.

Whoever gets sent in has to be the lowest guy on the totem pole.
