When I was young the piss troughs were standard at just about any event with more than a hundred people, for some reason they were always filled with ice. The 80s and 90s were a wild time to be a child, analogue to digital, piss troughs to stalls, Ive seen it all.
Gotta cool down all that hot piss with ice to keep down the stench I guess
It’s to break up the splash and to dampen the smell
May have helped with the smell, but I can recall it didn't help with the splash, at least not at a child's height.
They know you guys can't resist trying to melt the most ice so they put in to get you to aim better.
Yep. You pull up, whip it out, go. Sucks if you have shy kidneys like me, but you gotta make it happen.
Trippin' shrooms at a Crosby, Stills and Nash gig, walked into a trough. Ah hell no! Fuck am I gonna do?! Just had to make it happen. Imagine being a punker in a country bar! At a trough! Meh. Man the fuck up.
Pretty sure most lemmy guys would summon a manager, piss their pants or die of a burst bladder.
This is sick, but it works for me, no idea how I came across this: Guy next to you? Imagine grabbing him by the scalp and beating the living shit out of him on the plumbing hardware, blood flyin' everywhere, screamin' and beggin' you to stop!
Sick, I know. Never been the victim or assailant, but I can empty my bladder when it's shy.
I'll be banned forever for this comment. Hope it helps someone else before it's deleted.
What did I just read?
It's fucked up! I KNOW! And I have no idea how this came into my brain. Probably an intrusive thought about the guy next to me making it hard to pee.
"Get out motherfucker or I'm gonna bash your fucking face off!"
I've wondered if shy kidneys are evolutionary protection against peeing ourselves when in danger. Flip the script, become the danger, all good to shake the lizard. 🤷🏻 (That's totally made-up by me.)
Ice, or urinal cubes?
Ice. A lot of them looked like a really long bathtub filled halfway up with ice from the concession stand.
