From the archives....
Apologies for the fact that half of the population is unlikely to have had the chance to see this view before but..

A finer, more substantial urinal I have not seen in many the year.Alle Nerven exzitiert von dem gewürzten Wein -- Anwandlung von Todesahndungen -- Doppeltgänger --

Post #7 - January 4th, 2006, 7:46 amThat's funny. After the Xmas Eve bash at Lao Sze Chuan, I was bragging about the fine urinals that the Skylark possess over drinks with TonyC. I really didn't think that it was out of line to encourage him to go check them out. But in front of the ladies, I thought I just might have crossed the line.
Damn, come to think of it.... I even told Trix to go have a gander! I'm not quite sure if she took any pictures of them. Gotta ask her.

Post #8 - January 4th, 2006, 9:04 amThe most impressive urinals I ever recall seeing were at Le Cirio, a lovely fin-de-siecle cafe/brasserie near the Bourse in Brussels. No elbow rests, but they were so tall and deep you had to take care not to walk right in.
Note that this website has photos of the bar itself and, in the lower right, gives props to the gents as well.

Post #9 - January 4th, 2006, 9:28 amThe most impressive, sarcophagus-like urinals I can recall were at Northwestern University. I don't remember if they were in University Hall or the neighboring Harris Hall, but they were easily over five feet high and a foot and a half deep, flush (heh) with the floor. Probably of the same vintage as the photos above.What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?

Post #10 - January 11th, 2006, 9:57 pmWell, that certainly is an impressive pissoir, my dear A, but, truly, one must travel to The Mutiny, in BuckLoTowgan Square, to see an even grander one, methinks. In fact, this humble tavern and music venue even brags (or used to brag) in its advertisements that it is home to the oldest antique urinal still in use. And, I suppose, when the highlights of your establishment would otherwise be tuneless Karaoke sung by mental patients, watered-down 1/2 pitchers of beer, and music provided by such classy gents as The Fucking Scumbags (yes, a real band I once heard and saw there), the big brass urinal begins to stand out more and more. With the proximity to everyone's un-hip uncle's latest fave spot, Honey 1, though, The Mutiny is worth at least a visit (if only to pee). Incidentally, The Mutiny was the site of my band's first-ever Chicago gig, October of 2001. We passed the hat, someone spit in it, and we were told what a good show we put on and what a good night it was as we were (literally) being pushed out of the back doors by Ed, the owner. A scum-hole, but a lovable one at that.

That's no urinal, that's the band's sousaphone!What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?

Post #13 - January 20th, 2006, 10:44 pmThe Old Warsaw has similar antique urinals to go along with its antique customer base.

Speaking of the Skylark, I vaguely remember ReneG mentioning the antique Wheat Shocker whisky bottle that's (usually) slightly out of view behind their liquor licence.
Skylark's Wheat Shocker.
Enjoy,

Post #17 - January 31st, 2006, 9:45 pmI just noticed Mister WuShock is holding a tag from a bottle of Jeppson’s Malört: “Are you man enough to drink our two fisted liquor?” I should mention it was Mike G who first pointed out the Wheat Shocker to me at Skylark. I wasn’t familiar with it before. Definitely a cool mascot.
