The Urinals of Paseo de las Illusions

While there is no urinal photo from the town I lived in, Comalcalco, Tabasco, Mexico, here is one nearby in Villahermosa, which looks surprisingly like the urinal in all of the local taverns, a wall, with a short "antisplash back" wall in front. One sometimes finds a patron "resting" between the two walls, after a couple of six packs! Crazy Mexicans!

Ladies, if you really need to go see the wide world of urinals, here you go:

Here is a section of some of the best urinals in Portlandia:

I have to give a short tour since even most Portlandians don't know about some of these cool urinals.

The Urinals of McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse are like operating a train when one flushes the thing. It gives a real feeling of power! Only 5 or 6 miles from the house, the food is decent pub grub, and the beers are fine. But the piss is not to be missed.

Basic Sarcophagus style of McMenamin's Grand Lodge gives a feeling of roominess the modern puny urinals can't match.

It seems the McMenamin brothers take their beer, and their urinoir's seriously. Many of their locations have urinals of note.

The Ornate Sarcophagus offer a little pissing dignity. 

Not all urinoir's are hidden away in a small cubby room, some are right out in the open, big and brave.

Ericsson's was a "free willy" bar urinal where the loggers, and other rough sorts could drink and piss at the same time. Not sure why this innovation has failed to make it into the 21st century but . . . 

Jakes Famous Crawfish bar is the same thing only a bit more upscale, it flows left to right with the drain just visible near the end. The high class can be seen by the brass foot rail, which kept your feet out of the flow. Again, why this is not common eludes me!

The brief on the Ericsson and Jake's. It's worth a read, it's short.

Michael's Station in Corvallis always had some of the best Huge Sarcophagus urinals anywhere, I am not sure it is still a going concern, but if so, and you are in the area, head on over for a piss.
