Author Topic: Pictures of urinals. Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 07-13-2004 03:03 PM                     Believe it or not, there is a web-site dedicated to the subject, www.urinal.net. Very strange. They have examples from space craft, railway stations, airports, pubs, sports stadia etc, from all over the world, but hardly any from theatres or cinemas; maybe members from theatres of architectural merit should send them some pictures.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-13-2004 03:10 PM                  While that may be an interesting site, I find it more interesting to know HOW you came about to find it? >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 07-13-2004 03:17 PM                     Somebody at work pointed it out to me. The person was female, the site seems to have acquired a sort of cult status with people of that gender. I wonder what people did with their time before they had the Internet.  |  IP: Logged Tim Arista Film Handler Posts: 37 From: Garland, TX, USA Registered: Jun 2004 posted 07-13-2004 04:08 PM                     I would click on that link, but I'm eating right now.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 07-13-2004 05:50 PM                    The urinal in the mens' room adjacent to my facility features a Jane Fonda Urinal Sticker left over from the days when it was the Plitt Theatres / Cineplex Odeon regional offices. I have no grudge with Jane myself although I would understand why others would. If it was up to me I'd have put Rush Limbaugh in there.  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 07-13-2004 10:44 PM                    That's a great idea! I'm going to Kinkos to print out some Michael Moore stickers right now!! Coming soon to a theater urinal near you. Thanks for the idea, Steve!  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-13-2004 10:53 PM                  When I was at Atari, back during the Apple II/Atari 800 wars, all the urinals had the Apple logo at the "aim here" point. True story! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

OBTW: They certainly didn't "win" any round. They are ONLY still around today thanks to Mr. Microsoft and his mega $$$$ injections. And of course Atari went back to it's co-op roots. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

So, having never used an 800, I cannot compare it to the Apple II. But really. Look at this thing! And its little tiny oh-so-seventies touch sensitive keyboard. Who could type on this thing for any length of time? Have YOU played Atari today?  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 07-13-2004 11:35 PM                        If you ever get to visit the Thunderbird aerial demonstration squadron at Nellis AFB, check out the officer's head. It features a mural of the Blue Angels in diamond formation--diving right into the toilets. Another one to check out here is the pisser at Main Street Station downtown across Main St. from the California Hotel. Displayed above the urinals is a section of the Berlin Wall in all its graffitied splendor.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

Posts: 1852 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Jan 2002 posted 07-13-2004 11:56 PM                     Actually, I just did a little research online on the 400/800 units. Suprisingly, this little bad boy has quite a bit more under its hood than I had thought. But I still don't like the keybord.  |  IP: Logged Paul Trimboli Master Film Handler Posts: 274 From: Perth Western Australia Registered: Dec 2002 posted 07-14-2004 07:22 AM                     WOW you worked for ATARI Phill? What position did you have there? Was it a great place to work for? Seems like such a great place to have worked, would do anything to go back in time and get a job with them. The Atari Historical Site is a great site with lots of interesting stuff to read. www.atari-history.com  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

He was responsible for producing Apple stickers.  |  IP: Logged
