   Late this morning on my way to downtown, I had to make a quick emergency pit stop to use the honey bucket at the tennis courts across from Lincoln Park. It was so pilau the smell I tell you, I couldn't even hold my breath long enough to to take a whiz. I just went and used the tree on the side. I was ready to vomit. It looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a month. Defication everywhere inside. Not even in the bowl itself. What in the hell are City workers doing? The weekend had real nice weather so I'm sure the courts must have been busy all weekend long. Its Tuesday already.

   I never use honey buckets for this reason alone - they are just gross, especially if you have to actually sit in them. But if it is a honey bucket it is most likely leased and maintained by the company it comes from - up to the individual/city dept. leasing it to call in for cleaning if it's not being done or needs more frequent attention. Hope you didn't kill the tree Jiggers but going outside is gross too and I think against the law if you are caught.

   I don't think a little wee will hurt the tree much. Here is a fun reference article about human urine as fertilizer.

   I thought a pilau was a rice dish?

   #4,It's also pidgin for 'stinky'.

   #2, One emergency leak doesn't even come close to the multitude of dog leg lifts and squats.

   That Honey Bucket sounds like a health hazard. I hope you called the City!

   I'm in europe right now, but had to log in just to respond to this post...

   I hate to be the annoying person that says "you think that's bad, this is worse" but here I go anyways...

   OH MY GOSH THE BATHROOMS IN EUROPE ARE SOOOO GROSS. They are so bad that I'm going to blanket statement that all bathrooms in Europe are gross. Half don't have toilet seats, one at a church was only a hole in the ground with a huge dump just sitting on the floor and then they make you pay .5 Euro to use this crap, pun totally intended.

   Not so much West Seattle related, just trying to stay connected to my people. :-)

   Hey - don't diss all toilets in Europe, some places are completely civilized! Which countries were you in?

   I was in France, and now in Italy.

   I just keep hearing Seinfeld in my head... "What's the deal with the toilets in Italy..." I just don't get how they have the top part of the toilet seat (that covers all of it) but not the cut out one you can sit on. And these same bathrooms have sensored sinks, which I consider very advanced technology compared to the toilet seat.

   Anyone see the movie Trainspotting? now that was a gross toilet to sit on, and the movie was of British accent I think. Dam Europeans.

    What civilized person would sit on public toilets anyway? Certainly not Europeans. Clearly, there are many Americans who have not learned to squat like, well...the whole damn rest of the world! (ass gaskets if you must, but making contact with your bottom on a public toilet...eeeeew).

    Emmy Jane, don't go to India or China. You'd probably never recover.

    Japan is SURELY the most civilized place in the world to use the throne. Most of Japan has electronic toilets, with heated seats, that have a system to wash your, er, undercarriage when you're done. And most will even blow dry your nether regions afterwards. The Japanese are definitely number one in the number two business!

    Christopher: your description of the fancy toilets in Japan matches my experiences at some of the nicer hotels there. Many of the toilets were also self-cleaning. However, when venturing out into the non-touristy areas, I found that the toilets resembled floor drains.

    Gross Honey Bucket...

    I was highly amused to discover that some of the more touristy areas of Thailand offered your choice of Eastern or Western toilets (signed just like that, too).

    Both were about the same level of cleanliness, though.

    I thought pilau was an island in the South Pacific.

    Does anyone else find it odd that one of the more civil conversations here lately has been around a messed up Honey Bucket ? Its nice to see that there is something we can agree on !

    This has to be the Stinker story of the Year. If not, its the crappiest!!!

    Trainspotting was Scottish, don't lump them in with the English and Welsh, we're the civilised Brits!
