At times I've gone into a men's room, quickly entered a stall, kicked up the seat, and let loose my strong yellow stream.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Does it need to be said that not only have I used a urinal on many other occasions, but also a porcelain trough?
I guess here in post-pussified America it does.
Dayum, young-uns, dayum.
I have this very specific memory of entering the men's rooms @ the old Connie Mack Stadium in North Philly as a nine year old:
Rough and woefully uneven concrete floor, inclined from both sides towards the middle, the length of which ran an open gutter, with a big drain in the very center.
On either side, two long porcelain troughs, men peeing shoulder to shoulder, about ten to each side. As one left, one of us waiting took his place.
It was the floor that I remember most. It was . . . awash . . . completely fucking soaked . . . in God only knows what foul mix of effluvia. You could not avoid sloshing through it, not if you wanted to pee.
Epic!
Welcome to the City of Brotherly Love!
Connie Mack predated the Vet which predated our current pristine and beautifully appointed stadium.
Did I mention that when you parked on the nearby North Philly streets you gave the cheerful local black youths a fistful of change or a buck or two to "watch your car" for you?
And that it was all very civil and orderly and . . . accepted . . . and that nobody batted an eye?
The times, my friends. They have most certainly changed.
Now excuse me, my delicate flowers, but I'm going to go out into my backyard and pee . . . because I CAN.
