It´s the arts! 4: The Horror... the horror!

The IWCRP crew has spent little time travelling and doing field research lately, but a lot of time watching bad horror movies. The result gains all you millions of fans out there who visit this blog daily.

1. Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988)

As the title kind of reveals, this masterpiece is about a bunch of Killer Clowns from outer space. One night, they decide to go on a killing spree in a small town on earth. Without giving away too much of the story, we can tell you that the Clown on the picture is coming up from a WC.



2. The Killer Toilet from Outer Space

Studio a Better Tomorrow are behind universally famous titles such as
The Groovy & the Greasy, Zombi Picnic, For a Fistfull of Kungfu, The Big Showdown and Kung Food. Apparently, The Killer Toilet from Outer Space will soon be downloadable from their website.

On the picture, we see the Killer Toilet to the left, and the Victim to the right.

3. Braindead
They're not dead exactly, they're just... sort of rotting.

For those of us who like zombie films more than necessary, Peter Jackson's classic from 1994 is a must. Many have tried, but all have failed in their attempts to make a more gory movie. Special creds go to the lawnmower scene.

"A young man's mother is bitten by a Sumatran rat-monkey (Story goes, these great big rats come scuttling off the slave ships and raped all the little tree monkeys ). She gets sick and dies, at which time she comes back to life, killing and eating dogs, nurses, friends, and neighbors"(imdb). Of course, the disease spreads, and the zombies must be annihilated somehow.

Paquita Maria Sanchez: Your mother ate my dog!
Lionel Cosgrove: Not all of it.

Gausdalsstraßen

This beauty appears to be part of the natural habitat of most Swindon Town fans in Lillehammer, Norway. The picture is stolen from the Facebook group Drit og Dra. It is a stunningly aesthetic piece of WC.

Banheiro!

A recently founded chapter of IWCRP in Brazil is working 24/7 these days, sometimes even more. The first contribution from this tropical paradise with coffee and fruits galore to speed things up, is from Campinas. Brazil was first described as o país dos banheiros by a portuguese traveller in the 19th century, an expression frequently in use by proud brazilians and almost every tourist brochure today.

Calixta, San Isidro

Thanks to MJ for this artistic photo of the ladies' room.

Rosa Negra, Colonia

Surprisingly good and cheap food at this slightly crappy-looking restaurant in the touristy old part of Colonia. I could make a toilet-related joke about the name, the black rose, but I choose not to.

Mesón de la Plaza, Colonia

One from the ladies' room, two from the other.

Some parrilla, Colonia

This parrilla has existed since the spaniards were fighting the portuguese over Colonia back in the 17th century, nonetheless the name got lost in the IWCRP archives, which are larger and more chaotic than the ones in Sevilla. This is a unisex WC, the only one in the establishment. Unisex WCs are usually a terrible idea, since the ladies will encounter liquids on the seats and the gentlemen will have to stand in line for hours. At this establishment, however, the problem was solved in the most logical manner, namely by not having any guests.

Nuevo San Cono

A brilliant bar & parrilla, this one, by far our favourite in Colonia. Some fantasticly funny pictures of Diego Maradona with the owner and some other petrified people on the walls. Good, cheap beer and a general happy feeling. The first two pics are from the ladies' room; thanks to MJ for risking her life.

Mercosur, Colonia

From the ladies' room at cafe mercosur, thanks to MJ for working undercover.

Hotel Rivera, Colonia, Uruguay

A nice hotel in a nice little town. This one costs $750 uruguayos for a double incl. breakfast and typically horrendous uruguayan coffee. No country in the world has more disgusting coffee than Uruguay.

Bar, Colonia, Uruguay

This was the last bar the IWCRP delegation visited that night, and the name of the bar is thus forgotten. The gin & tonic was made of gasoline, soda and lemon, and therefore, for the first time in history, a drink was left on the table upon departure.

El Drugstore, Colonia, Uruguay

.

As the IWCRP delegation was refilling after visiting the Drugstore WCs, a foreign citizen came and sat down at a table nearby. On noticing his lack of knowledge of the spanish language, the waitress offered him a menu in English, an offer he politely turned down. IWCRP went outside for a cigarette in order to get the digestion going, and shortly after the foreign citizen came outside as well, with the waitress, and started pointing at some pictures of food on the wall. Much easier than getting the english menu.

Buquebus again
