Water water everywhere...
Jen and I went to go see Marty Riemer's FiveTwentyFunnyFest. This year it had gone upscale and musical. I'll get to the musical in a minute.
It was held at McCaw hall this year instead of the Moore Theater. The McCaw is great. It even has a fountain you can walk in. Well on anyway. As we went from the upscale Italian place we ate. (Jen kept pointing out that our "date night" included eating in the food court. It was, in fact, Michael Angelo's in the Center House. Nice food.) So we walk back down there and there is water running across parts of the sidewalk. It's a fountain that's really very 2D. I wish I had my camera with me. The water runs from one side to the other and into a small drain. You can walk right on it. I guess during the rain nobody notices? It's not like that happens very often, right? Weird but OK. Maybe even kinda cool...
OK I really like the Moore so maybe I'm biased, but I kinda miss that old school feel and flush toilets of yester-year.
You heard me. Er you read that right. The old school 100 year anniversary is coming up Moore Theater has flush urinals... The brand spanking new McCaw hall... nope. I shit you not. The thing is called a "Water free" urinal. Well for those of you who are not familiar with what that might be it's like a urinal but it doesn't flush and it really really stinks. Really. Clearly the person who went for this item of engineering thought. No water? Cool. Guess what? They put fucking water in the thing for a reason the first place. So your (and every body's who went before you) piss goes through a small hole in the "urinal" (I hesitate to the use the term.) and goes into what looks like a holding tank under the hole. But then I'm guess it sits there. I come to this educated guess because despite my bad cold the persistent smell of Stale Urine (not just a great band anymore) is rather overwhelming. I love this green engineering we got. Why don't they just stay out of the bathroom? First the low water it doesn't flush flush toilet (you know the one you have flush 3 times before it works?) I love engineering by legislation. I'm not sure if there is legislation about this new water free (how about "hole?" Yeah. Hole) water free hole, but I guess that guy should have talked to the fountain you can't tell is running 3/4th of the year guy and maybe we could have had flush urinals and foregone the whole invisible while it's raining fountain. Maybe?
Maybe next time I'll just piss on the sidewalk...
