It´s the arts! 3: V for Vendetta

A charming lady hides her autobiography in the WC in this film, which also features explosions, silly masks and lots of blood.

It´s the arts! 2: HBO

Today, we bring you a few pictures from HBO series. HBO's chief executive, Ignatz Glockenmeyer, says in an interview that two things are essential for a series to be successful. Sex and WCs.

In picture #1, both are combined in a memorable scene from Six Feet Under, season 2. Pic 2 is from the same season.

The following two are from the Sopranos. Vito finds Gigi Cestone dead on the can, and Tony barfs after eating peyote.

Finally, the last one is in the category "alternatives to a WC". It's from "Big Love", which is about a man with three wives. In the first episode, one of the wives is taking care of all the children, and anarchy soon prevails.

Tabaco, San Telmo

Tabaco is one of the best bars IWCRP has ever visited. It opens on weekends only, from 00.30 till rather late, and has a capacity of 150 people. There are usually three concerts pr. night, with local rock bands of variable quality. There's also a pinball machine which hardly ever works. They've done some serious remodelling the last months, but the toilets are still quite miserable, and I suspect that it will still rain inside if it rains outside.

The address is EE.UU. 265.

It turns out that IWCRP is not the only multinational company dedicating itself to the research of WCs. Here is a list of other websites that could be of great interest.

• Hollaender's Toilet Pictures - From danish clubs and bars, some of which I´ve visited personally in the past. Very fancy site, with sound and all. Quite small site, and some of the 32 pictures are a bit blurry.
• The Toilet Museum does not seem to produce much of the material on the page, but there´s a lot of WC related pictures of celebrities, cats, women, et cetera, as well as videos and cartoons.
• Crappers Quarterly - Toilets from all five continents are reviewed here. Readers can send in their reviews. Unfortunately, not many of the posts have pictures of the WC. The site also has a lot of stuff which, albeit entertaining, is not related to WCs.
• Pubtoilets.com - A large database of pictures, mainly from English and Irish pub toilets. 198 pubs are reviewed so far, most of them with several pictures. Many of the pics are a little blurry, but it´s still a great site, and it has had over 200.000 visitors since 2004! Respect!

Viru-Viru International Airport, Santa Cruz, Bolivia

Thanks to Lloyd Aereo Boliviano, the most annoying company in the world, we got to spend several hours in the transfer area at Viru-Viru. The name may be fun, but the airport is not. After ten hours of watching scenes from the movie "The Terminal" (the script was no doubt inspired by, or even written on a trip with Lloyd) and silly bolivian commercials, people started to lose their minds all around us.

In the cubicle next to the one on the picture, a man (the same man) was making strange moaning noises both times I visited the WC, with a five hours interval. Could he have been sitting there the whole time, or was this a case of parallel bladder-capacity?

Lloyd Aereo Boliviano - Pope poop

It is extremely diffucult to exaggerate when describing the horrors suffered when flying with Lloyd Aereo Boliviano.

A total delay of some 60 hours on the trip Buenos Aires - Panama - Buenos Aires should be enough to drive any person completely mad.

An interesting feature about this plane, which took us from Panama to Bolivia, is that the pope (the previous, shaky one) has taken the same flight, which means that His Holiness has no doubt used the WC depicted here. It could even be his brown on the picture!

Holy shit!

Panama Airport

A couple of pics from the Airport in Panama, where we had to stay overnight because the shitheads of Lloyd Air Boliviano couldn´t find the plane we were going with, and didn´t have the brains to tell us before we got to the airport.

It was a nice airport, though, with complementary wheelchairs and a bar. Despite the wheelchairs, however, I have my doubts regarding the wheelchairfriendliness of the elevators.
