port-a-potty appreciation thread
 

We hate them, they stink and they are messy. But in the final analysis, they are God send, especially during large festivals and concerts. So here to you, our savior:

Very true. We all hate them... but they come in handy at concerts and such.

It's all about holding your breath and pretending there's nothing inside.

I don't care...if I gots to go, I gots to go. But believe you me, I'd rather let loose in public behind a bush or a tree before you catch me in one of those.

Have any of you ever wondered why the majority of them are colored blue???

it's a tradition. at least according to a students whose uncle operates the porta potty franchise in el paso.

I hope the guys who work emptying the port-a-potties are paid very, very well

you guys have not seen anything until you see the charmin mobile restroom, they have hardwood floors, televisions, lotion, charmin, they flush, they are skylights and they resemble a real bathroom!

When you gotta go, those things are just wonderful. I just make sure not to look down the toilet hole....I'd probably puke.

Ha, MY bathroom should be so nice!

Ha Ha Ha, this reminds me of the johhny knoxville episode when he goes into the port-a-potty...

An ode to a porta potty,
Oh how you smell...
But you allow me to go
When it starts coming down.....

These things are gifts from the stink gods.

the ones at Woodstock '99 were the worst. I don't think they emptied the tanks all weekend.

A Port a Potty Haiku:

Great port a potty
How foul thine stench is when we
must enter your door.....

When my dad was first laid off years ago, he went to work for his girlfriend's brother-in-law who owned a porta-potty business. I know most people wouldn't admit their dad cleaned those things, but he made a helluva lot of money (more than he made working civil service on a marine base creating computer war gaming systems). It was temporary but he did manage to live quite well off the money he made cleaning those suckers out.

The porta potties at the race track where I spend boatloads of time (pit crew for a half-scale minicup car and a 72 camaro) usually aren't too bad and they even have dispensers full of that no-soap-needed hand sanitizer.

Haha I remember that. One of the funniest tv moments ever. Not as funny as alf anything that alf does, but still very funny.

How can you even mention Alf and anybody else in the same paragraph. Alf deserve his own paragaphg. Long live ALF.

Well actually, it's the 'families' - kept safely in our fireproof safe...I've only seen it the few times I get my dad to open the safe to get my passport or something out and I just get glimpses of it...lol.

You, sir, are truly privilege. May I touch your shoes?

I'm with OohTeenyWahine...I'd go in the bushes before I'd set foot in a Port-A-Potty.

Gotta love the porta-potty esp. when your are in Half Moon Bay, CA, drunk, at a bonfire with a bunch of sisters, it's about 1:30am, and you don't want everyone to see you pee.... what an adventure that was :D

During our last big party at the house, we rented a portapotty...but I got to use the real bathrooms...ah the priveleges of being a brother :)

I'd be proud too. Alf is a legend.

Anyways, I couldn't imagine having to move them when the concert is over:eek:

If you are ever at a NFL game and an opposing fan has the nerve to show up wearing a Dallas Cowboy jersey wait until they enter the Porta Potty and then get a couple of friends to push the Porta Potty over.

I actually got to experience a Charmin Restroom at the Venetian Festival last weekend...very interesting. The best thing about them is that there were attendants that cleaned them up in between each use!! Cha-cha-cha, Charmin...can't get that damn song out of my head!

Charmin Ultra Restroom

Here's another link with pictures.

I have a friend, Dave Porta, who wants to know why he dosen't get any compensation for the use of his name.

True story. I televised (directed) a Papal Mass in the middle of a state park several years ago. Our "pool compound" along with the media compound was roped off and had it's own Porta-Potty.

It was a very hot day, and people were trying to drink a lot to stay hydrated. There simply weren't enough facilities to go around. When we went off the air and I walked out of the production truck, there was this young couple from Italy who didn't speak English standing at the rope in desperation, gesturing at our Porta-john. I told our guard to let them in to use the facility. They were so grateful that they offered me the Italian flag they had brought to wave at the Mass.

I didn't accept, but was really amazed at how thankful the were.
