One minute I was taking a leak at the Beverly Hill Hotel—marble partitions! gold fixtures! cloth towels!—and less than an hour later I was taking a leak in the dingiest public toilet in LA: the men’s room at the Alaska Airline terminal at LAX.

  1. I, too, have pissed in the Beverly Hills hotel’s pissers. That was one of the best nights of my life.

    I mean, for other reasons. Not for pissing in a swank hotel.

  2. Maybe for variety you could also photograph the expressions on the faces of the guys watching some Seattle hayseed photographing urinals. Unless this is a common manly passtime, in which case I guess you could photograph their knowing and appreciative nods.

  3. Lurleen, we should call it a “manly pisstime”, we Seattle hayseeds lurking with our iPhones at the urinals of the world as we domestic-jet hither and yon.

  4. Obviously someone needs to do a coffee table book called “Urinals of the Northwest” similar to the SLOG Happy book “Espresso Stands of the Northwest” that I picked up.

    I recommend not including toilets, just urinals, cause toilets are just too gross.

  5. I voted gross but only because I think sexist reporting is gross. You should balance your coverage with “tampon dispenser of the day.”

  6. I don’t think the Alaska urinals look that bad considering how many thousands more people would use them regularly in comparison to the B.H. Hotel urinals.

  7. Vince Lombardi Rest Area, near Exit 16W on the New Jersey Turnpike. By the time you park, pass all the football memorabilia, and get your fly opened, pissing isn’t everything: it’s the ONLY thing.

  8. Sorry – I missed the pic of the hypocritical, “family values”, republican senator cruising for hot, stinky, urine-soaked GAY SEX in these pics. Did you photoshop the republican senator (s) out of the pics??? Please explain…

  9. You can always count on about a 1/2″ of water on the floor of any men’s room at LAX. I should have know better but once I was in a hurry there and left a paper shopping bag on the floor for maybe 45 seconds while I was, um, busy with something else. About two minutes after I left the loo, the bottom of the bag fell out and I was chasing little edibles from Fauchon all over the airport.

    Why are so many unattended men’s rooms always so fucking wet?

  10. Bauhaus @21: Apparently you’ve never seen travellers, especially overseas travellers of the genre that get special attention by the TSA, bathing themselves at airport lavatory sinks. That’s likely the source of the offending damp.

  11. Fer cryin’ out loud, Dan, get a Board Room membership. It’s a no-brainer for anyone that travels as much as you do and needs to be on line before and after flights to spend a couple bucks to be in a business-friendly environment.
