please keep your tinkle in the pottery!

I've told yall before… sometimes Google searches take me to the unexpected.  I think this was a "vintage urinal" search.  Okay, I have mixed emotions.  You know I love to garden.  And I love flowers.  And I love plumbing fixtures… but do I love them all mixed up in one unit?

I think they are funny.  And pretty.  But, but, but?  I can't put my finger on it.

I love the sinks:

Thoughts anyone?  Seeing as how I'm not a urinal-user I can't really give honest feedback. A piece of art you pee on/in seems a little irreverent?  I hope some men will speak up?  I know you are out there.

Clark Sorenson gets the credit for these pretties you can pee on.

  1. I don’t know, I am torn. As a florist, I find it fairly offensive, yet, that being said, I would love to have the excuse of “needing” it in the shop restroom, think of the talk!

  2. Oh Erika, as an artist I don’t know if I should laugh or cry! Let’s just say these are too much!

  3. Ummm… any man would have to have a good aim to hit a stamen with his pistol. :) Nothing like a little crude botanical talk.

  4. taylor brown says:

    i’m laughing at darby!!!
    the urinals are cracking me up too!

  5. I like the sink. I do. It’s neat. The urinals, on the other hand, are a little off putting. Where on earth did you find those things!? lol Never a dull with you. :)

  6. When I read the top, before I scrolled down, I just knew you had found a picture of a urinal someone had attached to their fence and decided to plant flowers in. I’m just as amazed by what you found, where do people come up with this stuff?

  7. Okay, I checked with the men in my house. Here’s the opinions after I inquired.
    Peter: “I don’t like any of those things”
    Me: “You have to pick one.”
    Peter: “Okay, I guess that white one.”
    Then he walked away. So I was left with Blake.
    Blake: “I love the seashell. But don’t say anything too personal, Mom.”

  8. Would this be considered “deflowering” the urinal????? :-)

  9. OK.
    Is it just me, or might there be a splash or splatter issue with all of the petals and stamens and pretty what-nots?????

  10. The first thing that came to my mind was how difficult it would be to clean something like that…

  11. I am dying laughing at your sista! What a hoot…….These urinals are certainly unique and would make a good “conversation item” for sure!
    Erika, I just read about Paisley…..so glad to hear she is okay! Yes, it could have been much worse. I have been in the emergency clinic this week with one of my Kitties who was having seizures…..it scared me to death! OH, these beloved animals of ours! What would we do without them?

  12. Those are horrible! HA! I’ll have to share with hubs this evening…

  13. hahaha too funny. Seleta- that’s about how I think it would go with my husband

  14. My first thought was the same as susie’s…COULD YOU IMAGINE CLEANING THOSE THINGS…UGH! Much too delicate for such a manly thing as a urinal. So glad sweet Paisley is doing well. I can’t imagine how hard that was!!!

  15. OMG! Those are hilarious! My first thought was, “Wow, those must be expensive!” They really are very artistic, that’s for sure. And I also wonder how hard it would be to, um, aim into those?

  16. talk about a way to wake up, you have me laughing and my daughter asking what’s that.

  17. oh mercy! those are … weird!

  18. Totally weird…yet hilarious. And kind of mesmerizing…I love it! Just Kirtsy-ed it!

  19. ok. being a mom of 2 boys, i can just say with boldness…that ain’t right. it is hard enough to get them to get the job done without getting too much on the floor, but to have to stand there and be perplexed…oh no ma’am. i just can’t…i…mmm. sorry, words have left me.

  20. they are pretty weird. lets hope they don’t make toliets!

  21. why oh why may I ask were searching for vintage urinals??

  22. When I see stuff like this I always wonder, “who buys this stuff”. That’s what you should find out, who’s buyin’?

  23. First of all I won’t ask why you are Googling vintage urinals ha ha!
    And second, tell us you did a superb Photo Shop job, so we could all have a big laugh. Really this is hysterical!
    xo xo

  24. To Sarah’s Fab Day:
    Maybe interior designers in Dubai?
    xo xo

  25. I’m pretty sure you do not love these :)

  26. is this for real? saw ya on your sister’s blog!

  27. Blogs are good for every one where we get lots of information for any topics nice job keep it up !!!

  28. Ummmm…….hmmmmmmm……whoa. Wow.
    Who knew?
    Who.
    knew.

  29. Umm, NO. No.
    Erica,
    Don’t ever take your plumbing fixture to this level :)

  30. I am at a party in Utah RIGHT NOW with the guy who made these. Finally my life is better than yours! :)

  31. I’m not even gonna ask the four males in my house what they think of these, I’m pretty sure they would veto the lot. From personal experience, living with four aforementioned males, the aiming issue would be a nightmare, I’m envisioning a Darby scenario, in addition to watering my floors, now there would be flowers involved! Yuck! :0)

  32. mixture of emotions in allowing these pics to pass through my glasses, not one was desirable. Kind like mixing ketchup with Tutti Frutti ice cream …
    I am a certified diver and that sea shell was wierd. It is just wrong on some level. Can I post some more tomorrow after I have some nightmares … I have been scarred.

  33. That is the most hilarious thing I’ve seen in a long time. Haha!
    And Merry Christmas, by the way!

  34. these are so strange!!!!

  35. They made me laugh . I loke this idea

  36. i’ve seen one in basement (of a really nice house!) that rather than flowers is giant red lips. no lie!
    google that!

  37. Wow, I have never seen urinals like that before. I bet you feel uncomfortable using them the first time because they look so nice.

  38. Nice blog, its great article informative post, thanks for sharing it. Thanks for the information!
