What do you guys think, could it take off?

"I'm just off to play with the lads in the toilets."

Finally a reason not to check out other guys packages in the bathroom!

tbh, it seems silly.

How will I find out who's screwing who at the office if there isn't any graffeti to tell me.

No

There's already a game built into urinals, they're called urinal cakes.

But they're hardly multi-player without breaking some serious Men's Bathroom Code of Conduct rules.

Wow, I guess I had a total different expectation on what that ment....>.> <.<

I'm waiting for a follow up story where dozens of british men soil themselves because they "held it in" in hopes of getting the high score later.

"Almost there! 2 points away! ...no, I can't be out! NOOOO!"

In all seriousness, this could be extra incentive for drinkers to down a couple glasses of water as they drink, like they're supposed to anyway. That can't be a bad thing.

Ever since the day I was pissing and felt a splatter on my cheek I don't use urinals anymore.

Now an "Air and Sea" type game in the toilet stalls...I'm all for!

I don't generally need to entertain myself while handling bodily functions.

Really?

I find a good book makes the number 2's much more enjoyable.

I see your point.

With an aim as poor as yours you would never make the high score.

I have not hit my own face with my stream since I was 4 months old and lying on my back.

However we can not all be so gifted.

Nothing beats "corraling tadpoles"..time event

Since I got a smart phone, my time in the can has already gone way up...

Well..I dunno about that, theres nothing wrong with shooting off a few knukle babies, but timing it....hummm you sir are one odd guy.. btw are you army or a marine...if a marine then that explaines it all.


Edit..I always read when going number 2, I've had some of my brighest idea's when on the 'golden throne' =o]

I already bought a 3DS so I'd have something to do in on the can.

O.O

I concur. Whenever I get a new book, whether it be an army book/codex/rulebook or a novel, my first port of call is usually the loo.

I've also had some of my best ideas whilst in the middle of pinching one off.

The toilet is definately one of mankind's greatest inventions.

I just can't bring myself to bring a book in there when I know I'll only get about five minutes of reading in. I like to finish a book in one sitting, if possible.

The toilet isn't the spot for me to do that.

I can see it now. I've gotta piss something serious. Run to the bathroom, all the stalls are taken up with people playing angry birds.

Thumps. Everyone gets thumps.

Five minutes!

You poor person, a bowel movement should be enjoyed, not rushed.

Rushing it is inside of 2 minutes. I do everything fast.

Erm......................I dunno bout you guys, but when Im at the urinal, Im never there long enough to get bored pissing

KingCracker wrote:Erm......................I dunno bout you guys, but when Im at the urinal, Im never there long enough to get bored pissing

Exactly! I treat it like Chili's: get in, get out and get on with the rest of your life.
That said, i've had those jobs where it's advantageous to disappear in the can whenever possible, too.

My dorm has the following in the bathrooms (we've got 4 stalls in two rooms): two national geographic magazines, a nudie mag (for the articles), and a Nintendo DS.... Many a loaf has been pinched off playing Angry Birds though...

It isn't a question of aim, but one of thrust. A mere slab of porcelain bolted to the wall cannot contain my deluge.

Oh god, everyone has had one of those. The last retail job I had was one of those. I had to "use the bathroom" FAR more then normal. It was such a gakky job

that I would find any excuse I could dump my load of work


I felt like I had to get out of there always, it was so miserable, I could feel my life going down the drain

It was the happiest day of my life, when they finally canned me

Don't worry I'd give it a week or two maximum before someone either punched one of them or managed to carved something into the screen.

A Sharpie marker would also do the trick.

Well here is your fix!


It is the first chapter of Harry Potter.

And as for the article presented by the OP:
I don't think those consoles are something I want to be putting my hands and fingers on, I mean I wash my hands after but still. I have a friend who used to ask if a book was a "poop book" before she borrowed it, meaning was it read in the bathroom...if it was she would say no thanks. Some of us would trade books often. Made me laugh anyways.....
