The Sixty Thousand Dollar Can

Posted 03.11.2003 by Dave (11578)
As many of you know, I am a rock star.

A few weeks ago, we had a gig in Nashua, New Hampshire. We arrived only to discover a steady rain detered those hardy Nashuites from leaving their homes; no one showed up -- not even the other bands -- and the gig was cancelled. Feeling bad, the owner made a call and got us rebooked at The Bombshelter in Manchester, NH.

After making the call, the club owner described excitedly how nice The Bombshelter was. The owner had done an incredible job rennovating the place, he reported -- including spending $60,000 dollars on the bathrooms.

So, PoopReporters, for our information: here is what the men's room half of a $60,000 bathroom looks like.

That's pretty incredible. I would have expected plushy carpets, and feather-soft seats. That's all $60k buys? How much does a toilet cost, anyway? or -- was the bathroom in tha bad of condition before the renovation?

Disco Poo (31) -- 03.11.2003

Why can't you use the big urinal?

Joe (91) -- 03.11.2003

Who didn't flush? Or do they prescribe to the "if it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down" way of thinking?

Guys get screwed when it comes to bathrooms. I mean, not literally (unless you happen to be visiting this national park I know of) but girls get all the frills and you guys get screwed. Dave, as a poop reporter you should have found a chick to take a picture of the ladies room in the same establishment. I'm willing to bet it was cleaner, more spacious and had condom and perfume machines.

I'm wondering why the urinals are at two different levels....Midget Friendly?

Women's restrooms are always better than the men's. Back in college I knew a girl in my class and we'd just talk after dismissal from chemistry and one time I waved a hi to the cleaning lady that worked there. If you are a veteran of poopreport you will know what a respect and love I had for that lady that kept the men's room in the basement stocked with TP and clean as hell. Anyway, I explained to my friend that this men's room in the basement was the most clean on campus and the most spacious.

She kinda laughed and asked what was wrong with the one on the first floor (where we were). I said it had 2 stalls, 2 urinals, and only 3 sinks packed into maybe 400 square feet. She was shocked and told me all about the ladies room on the first floor. She said it had a sitting room right before the second door that actually led to the restroom. When the girls wanted total privacy they'd go sit on the couches in that waiting room and study. Women are really different from men. If they had a room like that I sure wouldn't be able to study knowing someone was taking a wiz or dump just behind that door next to me. Think of the toxic fumes!

I was just thinking about the toxic fumes. Too bad they dont have unisex sitting rooms ahead of the mens room, cuz that'd DEFINITELY be the place to be! I'd study there, and I'm not even in school. AHhh. Sigh.

the most incredible bathroom i have ever seen was at thsi chinese buffet place called The Mandarin. It was spotless..it was beautiful..you could have eaten off the floor. it's hard to describe in mere words.

Jaid (not verified) -- 03.13.2003

I'm betting that much of that 60K went into the owner's pockets as a kickback.

i am obsessed with crap....why dont you put some expensive poop in the toliet and take a pic of that because it will get me arrosed

A long time ago I saw a clear plastic toilet seat with pennies embedded in it. (I cant remember where). I came up with a great fantasy--something for a tycoon with a sadistic streak who would want to flaunt his wealth and frustrate guests:

Create a guest bathroom. The toilet seat would be clear, indestructable plastic with solid GOLD coins and embedded in it. The coins would be real--but there's be no feasible way anyone could dig them out of the plastic. All you'd be able to do is look at 'em in frustration.

Pooperscooper, there was a fabulous documentary on The Travel Channel of the world's top 10 bathrooms. This one came in at number one. Someone has already lived out your fantasy. http://www.canoe.ca/CNEWSWeirdNews0102/23_toilet-ap.html and see also, http://www.hangfung.com/home.cfm?Mid=280&popup=0

Hello! I'm interested in obtaining clear plastic toilet seats wholesale for a project I'm doing. Anyone know of a supplier for those? Please let me know. I'm located in Los Angeles, CA. Thanks!

want more poop

The Shit Volcano (3737) -- 02.24.2004

Wow. Must have spent the $60,000 on a government issue toilet seat.

The Shit Volcano (3737) -- 02.29.2004

Hey, Dave. I just looked over the pictures again. Is that your pee in the toilet?

Double Flush (598) -- 06.12.2006

I know this is old, but has anyone else noticed what I have? One would think a $60,000 can might have a Sloan flusher bestowed upon it.

I'm the only geek I know who has to flush twice. Or who clicks on links in people's sigs.

The Dumpster (2506) -- 06.12.2006

Gee, that's nasty! And you can tell where the partition between the two urinals has been removed, and nobody even bothered to spackle up the holes. And the reddish stuff in the lower urinal--is it antifreeze, or some particularly virulent strain of mildew? (I won't even ask what the place smelled like.)

This looks more like a $600 bathroom to me.

But, Dave, these are the kind of things you great rock stars have to endure sometimes. The bathroom was probably trashed by some of your fans, frustrated because they didn't get to hear you perform.

('Scuse me, dude--I'm getting these wonderful visuals of you as a member of "The Partridge Family"!)

Send all your money to Bilgepump, or to Dave!

Double Flush (598) -- 06.12.2006

I thought it was a reflection involving a urinal cake and just the right lighting... or maybe a red one of those plastic things some urinals have.

I too noticed the spots on the wall and thought it looked rough. Makes sense to believe there might have been a partition there. I guess NCSU is home to a lot of shameless pissers because we have partitionless urinals other than between urinals and sinks.

GottaGoGirl (2615) -- 06.12.2006

The guy didn't say how LONG AGO the "re-doo" had been!

You have to consider what things cost, though, for two entire public restrooms. 2 urinals, 3-4 toilets, 6 sinks, 6 faucets, the partitions (when they were all THERE), ALL the hardware, the lighting, the flooring, the (attractive rubber) baseboard, the mirrors, the towel dispensers, the t.p. containers, the trash cans, and various other doo-dads for finishing... Add to that the cost of INSTALLATION on all that...

$60K wouldn't really go very far, if you ask me.

healthy 1 (1423) -- 10.12.2006

OMG. 60k bathroom. They got robbed.

What the heck happened to the big urinal? Where's the divider between the urinals? Where's the marble floor? Who forgot to flush?Geesh.

The Thunderous ... (660) -- 01.19.2008

Never mind all that where is the wall and doors that go ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. Some bathroom why is a urinal out of order and why did someone forget to flush. Once again another desecration of a decent but no 60K bathroom.
