It´s the arts! 13

The first two pictures are from Big Nothing, the third one is from insanely silly and boring Lucky You, the fourth is from the slightly disappointing Puzzlehead, and the last two I can't remember.

Animal Planet

Young Perejil demonstrates his cajita, which he much prefers to the larger WC in the background. And that is fortunate, as the WC doesn't work anymore after the plumber fixed it.

Cyber Coffee, Rivadavia 2742

This internet cafe was the only place we could find that would sell us beer at 5 a.m. Not a bad place at all, despite their unwillingness to lend us the broom for hat-dance-purpose. The excrements on the picture are not mine.

Bar de Roberto/ 12 de Octubre, Bulnes 331.

A great place, this one.
Open monday-friday 19-04.

Casona Cultural Humahuaca, Humahuaca 3508

This cafe in Abasto has a nice little patio, a couple of friendly cats, good empanadas and cheap beer. Open ca 17 - 03

Remember Pub, Corrientes 1983

Remember pub is a nice place. We have not seen any other guests any of the times we've been there, and the bartender is perhaps the unjolliest bartender we have ever seen, but the place has a good atmosphere nonetheless. It appears that there are rock'n'roll-concerts there on weekends. Open every day 20 - 06.

Brasserie petanque, Defensa 595, San Telmo

Probably the best food we've had at any restaurant in Buenos Aires. Good service, good wines and relatively cheap.

It´s the arts! 12

I'm not quite sure what films these WCs are in, but they appear to be doing a darn fine job.

It´s the arts! 11: HBO again

One from Six feet under, one from Big Love. Again, no good news is brought when the WC is in the picture.

It´s the arts! 10: Blood Simple

Again, bad things happen at the loo. This person is about to get stabbed in his hand, then shot.

It´s the arts! 9: Aguirre, the Wrath of God

This is the toilet Aguirre and his men had on their fleet. As always, someone got killed just after visiting it. If a WC appears in a film, shit is soon to happen, although not in the litteral way. Think of John Travolta in Pulp Fiction, for instance.

It´s the arts! 8: Top Secret

One of the greatest comedies ever. However, there is an error in this scene. Val Kilmer is supposedly in a prison in DDR. However, the WC in the picture is a Lüstigschämzen 77 from the West German Krag & Krüger factory, which did not export to DDR. Recently released Stasi archives reveal that most prisons had Soviet Kandoljskaja WCs, made from old nuclear missiles.

It´s the arts! 7: The Big Lebowski

If you ever wondered what makes The Big Lebowski one of the greatest films ever, the IWCRP brings you the answer.

First of all, the soundtrack includes a Captain Beefheart song. Second, the toilet cuestion mankind has struggled with intellectually since the dawn of time, is interpreted very creatively.

On one hand, the WC is used in innovative ways, and on the other hand, unconventional furniture is given the function that the WC usually has. Altering the universe in such ways has consecuences, of course. The chinese person urinating on the rug is the core of the plot, the start of a chain reaction.

It´s the arts! 6: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

One picture from the original 1974 version, where the girl gets slapped around with a broom, and three from a later version, where the broom sadly is absent.

It´s the arts! 5: Flushed Away

Since this is the ultimate work of art, the IWCRP give you no less than four pictures from this marvellous film. As the New York Times pointed out, this film would not have been the same without the tremendous role played by the WC.

Guarulhos airport

This one is from Guarulhos airport, Sao Paulo. Not the one where they crash planes, the other one. These urinals are designed to take people's minds off of crashing planes.

Maria Bonjour, Campinas

More wedding pictures. This is from the bar Maria Bonjour in fancy neighbourhood Cambui in Campinas, where drinks were had after the wedding party was over.

Brazilian wedding, Campinas

A great party, and a cute toilet. This is the ladies' room, thanks to MJ again for the picture.

Øyafestivalen 08.08.07, Oslo

At the end of the night, after too much beer. What makes Øyafestivalen a better festival than Roskilde is the toilet situation. At the Roskilde festival 60.000 stoned drunks piss everywhere; on the tents, on each other, on themselves; for a week, creating lakes and general horror. At Øya less than 10.000 share about a million of these lovely, portable WCs.

Skagerrak, Strömstad, Sweden

The bar Skagerrak in Strömstad was not a very happy place the night the IWCRP visited, but rumors have it that they put scantily clad women in cages every now and then. As usual in this part of the world, they also have amazingly drunk guests despite prices that are crimes against humanity; 1 tiny gin tonic - slightly less than 100 SKR. Bastards.

Gibraltar, San Telmo

Peru 895. Gibraltar is a quite decent bar, popular amongst tourists, and locals who believe that foreign girls are easier than the porteñas. Offers a ridiculously smoke-filled smoking area with a pooltable and silly, dead serious people (gringos and belgian backpackers)playing pool. Gin Tonic: 7 pesos. Several draft and bottled beers, and a very large amount of different whiskies.

La Resistencia, San Telmo

Defensa 827. Not a bad place to be. Smoking area and happy hour untill 23 hs; 2 gin & tonic - 10 pesos is one of the superofertas.
