Beware: the toilets are on the march!

Posted 08.31.2007 by Dave
We here at PoopReport honor and respect the noble toilet. But outside our enlightened community, humanity just shits all over it. This, of course, makes the noble toilet angry.

Recently, the toilet has begun to strike back.

To the untrained eye, it seems like nothing more than a string of unrelated incidents, separated by time and geography, each the result of a unique set of circumstances and coincidences. A butterfly flapping its wings, and all that. But we PoopReporters know better, for we PoopReporters know how toilets think. We recognize these incidents for what they are: the beginnings of the toilet uprising.

In Port St. Lucie, Florida, a porta-potty burned to the ground. The fire occurred at 2:20 AM, which spared whatever hapless construction worker might have been inside it had the flames sprouted a mere five hours later. So we might mark this up to teenage vandals, were it not for this: the very same day, exactly 2,621 miles away in Huntington Beach, California, a "giant toilet" fell off a truck and shattered in the street, forcing passers-by to stop and pick up the pieces. This toilet, too, failed to injure anyone; but the message is clear. A war is coming.

More evidence: in Lancashire, England, a portable toilet had some success in its efforts to cause pain and suffering: it fell of a truck and smashed in the side of a car. (There's a picture on the site.) No one was hurt, but could the message be any clearer??? "You've drop loads on us for far too long," says Johnny-on-the-Spot with an evil cackle. "Now it's our turn to drop loads on you!"

In Pretoria, South Africa, a toilet burned a man's buttocks, genitals, and thighs. In Laindon, England, a toilet attempted to swallow a three-year-old. In Glasgow, a toilet helped a criminal escape. In Tokyo, a toilet tried to kidnap an 18-year-old girl. In Colorado Springs, a toilet surreptitiously cost a man $1200. The war has already claimed two lives: in Pudong, China, and on a P&O cruise ship.

And, of course, a toilet in Minnesota has destroyed a Republican senator's career.

My desperate attempts to contact Homeland Security have gone unheeded. Which means the government won't do anything to protect us -- not until it's too late. I suggest you stock up on plastic bags -- in a few weeks, as the uprising spreads, you won't dare expose your butt to a toilet.

Show some poop support, or make a poop retort.

Next thing we know there`ll be platoons of portapotties with plungers on their foreheads marching down every main street in the country like crazed daleks.

Of course we can hope. But I have my doubts.

In the background,
we'll hear the StarWars 'Empire Theme':
"Dump, Dump Dadump, Dump Dadump, Dump Dadump"....

They'll be led by an evil Transformer called 'Megaturd'....

Our lines of defense will be wiped out...

C'mon, RC - we nearly went to WAR with each other ("Perils of Pluto Water). Don't twink out now when the fate of humanity is in the balance!! Surely we can combine our forces for the triumph of mankind over the Porcelain Empire?!
Kudos to you Dave for sniffing out the advance guard in their first insidious sorties.

Hmmm an army of porta potties huh? Hey the Chinese have an 8million man army so why cant we turn out these porta pots for our own good and form an 8million pot army. Make those renegade toilets earn their keep. Hey have you EVER been in one? Then you would understand. To be shat upon in the most vile and filthy ways possible, it is easy to see why a porta pot could easily turn evil and wreak havoc throughout the world. Perhaps we should turn these evil potties on the terrorists wage our own little turd jihad! There ya go instead of Pooping for Peace we should unleash Dookies of Destruction!

Sorry to have misunderstood your "quitting" post, RC. Keep the 'droids warmed up. I'll run out and buy some blue face-paint.
Did anyone else notice the name of the locale cited by Dave in the third-to-last link in his report? PUDONG? Jeez...how many puns do we have THERE?

RoboCrap13 (346) -- 09.01.2007

Pudong ... Is that the sound of a guy crapping into a 55 gallon drum?

1) Perhaps it's the equipment of a man born with a plumbing defect that causes both forms of waste to be delivered through the penis.
2) In a fecally structured society, that would be the sound of the bells calling the faithful to the noon dump.

You may be on to something, Dave. Why just last week, as I was driving up 101 from LA to San Fran, while passing through the farms located in the valley south of Salinas, I saw lots of trucks pulling trailers with (exactly) three port-o-crappers. At first, I thought that these must have been for the rows of migrant farm workers who work the fields.

But then, oddly enough, I noticed that the only truck-pulling-port-o-crappers were going north. I started watching the traffic on the other side of the highway and, sure enough, I saw nary a south-bound mobile turder. Very interesting.

I attributed this to some kind of wierd crapper migratory pattern. Now, I understand that this is only the beginning. Their being summoned to Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco by the Robo-Crappers near Pier 39.

And to think I was there when it all started.

Robo-Crappers?? Please explain.

I saw at least four of them in San Fran: one on Telegraph Hill by the Coit Tower, two by Pier 39 at Fisherman's Wharf and one on Columbus St (I think). These are public self-cleaning toilets. It looks like a huge pay-phone box, but has a toilet and sink inside. You go in, do your business and then, after you leave, it automatically washes itself.

It's a nice idea but it was, in my experience, a little bit creepy. First, there's no door handles. You push a button to enter and you push a button to exit. The emergency exit is also button driven. So, if the power fails while you're inside, you are basically stuck there. It would be nice if they had some kind of manual override mechanism. Or an escape pod, at least. With my luck, having been stuck in there for a few hours, when SF Fire and Rescue finally manages to open the door, I'll be curled up on the floor in the fetal position muttering "HAL. Open the pod bay doors, HAL."

Second, the cleaning cycle is somewhat less than thorough. It's like a brushless car wash. Soapy water is squirted everywhere at high pressure. But there's not dry cycle. So, when you enter after the wash, the toilet seat (which is bare metal) is still wet. The water used for washing is cold. So, when you set down, your ass is on cold, wet stainless steel, which, quite frankly, I don't find conducive to relaxing my sphincter muscles.

Lastly, there's the ominous warning printed on the door that the doors will be automatically opened after 20 minutes. Now, normally, I only need a few minutes to do my business. Still, while you're setting there, it's printed on the door opposite you. It's like a big threat that the door is going to be flung open so that all of San Fran from Telegraph Hill to Alcatraz can see you with your pants down around your ankles.

Besides, at the top of the stairs in the Coit Tower is a perfectly serviceable and quite comfortable Men's room done up in marble and porcelain and maintained by a human being. The only time pressure that I could tell would be when the flood of folks returning from the top of the tower get out of the elevator.

Damn, Deja - those crappers sound EXACTLY like my ideas in a Newswire item ("Paradox...Public Bathrooms"), except my concept addressed the "wetness" problem with a couple of high-CFM fans that would dry things out.
I can't imagine anything much worse in a public dumper than having to sit on a cold AND WET seat...*uugghhhh*.

RoboCrap13 (346) -- 09.11.2007

Sounds like a potential torture device. Avoid contact at all costs - especially in cold weather.

Not to mention that everything is wet and that there are electronics everywhere. One shorted wire and - pppphhhttttt - your gonads are permanently welded to your buttocks.

The revenge of the porta-potties! aaaaaaaaaggggggggggggg (of course, i have only used a porta-potty ONCE in my life and i plan for it to stay that way!)

prarie doggin (1904) -- 03.03.2008

Having experienced hundreds, if not thousands of porta potties, I am convinced that they all have personalities. They have different fragrences, ambiance and physical characteristics. Some are warm and inviting and some are downright mean and frightening. They lead hard lives and deserve our respect and compassion. Some just lose it and can't cope anymore with what they have to put up with. I personally don't think those porta potties fell off the trucks. They committed suicide.
