must be friday in amsterdam...


must be friday in amsterdam...
Originally uploaded by dutchlop.
yet another friday has rolled around...and yet another porta-urinal showed up out on the corner. every friday afternoon, between lunch and 5pm, they place a porta-urinal on the street corner in front of my office.

apparently they are anticipating that men will no longer be capable of holding their bladder urges nor responsible enough to make it the bathroom of the bar in which they are patronizing. instead, on the weekends, mass numbers of men make their way to the local street corner and relieve themselves in front of all, declaring their manhood, and perhaps, semi-marking their territory.

hey, i have rabbits, i know how it works!

anyways, its the appearance of my favorite grey plastic monument that i can tell its the weekend. who needs a calender when you have urinals? well, i can also tell its the weekend by the influx of young 20-something year old boys, who look stoked that they are in Amsterdam for the weekend; generally its the southern European guys, here for a quick weekend stone-fest, errr, i mean, visit.

That's not a urinal. That's a vertical trough. Very classy.
