Poo-Nuts




Location: Herald Square (34th and 6th Ave)

This one goes out to Drew. It's beginning to sink in that this probably should have been a Mr. Peanuts (Mr. Poonuts) potty but we'll get to that one eventually and for those of you that don't know the story, you're not really missing out. And yes, I know that "Poop-y" the dog would have a nice ring to it, but it's a little too obvious don't you think? Plus, what a boring toilet. Plenty of time either way.

Anyway, this bathroom was pretty magical but had a 15-minute time limit on it. It was also the most incredible toilet seat I've ever seen in my life and if any of you have ever sat on a heated bidet, you'd know that that's saying something.

Back to this amazing toilet, it's a public restroom in the middle of Herald Square right outside of Macy's, which boasts the claim of "World's Largest Store" title and the lesser known silver medal for the "Worst Place in NYC" Award (Gold goes to Times Square). I couldn't find my tape, hence the sketchy job but it wouldn't have even mattered anyway because this toilet had an automatic sanitary seat cover dispenser! You wave your hand in front of the sensor and it actually disposed of the old one and replaced it with a shiny new plastic one! Not to mention the real flowers hanging on the wall and the mosaic tiled ceiling. AMAZING!





Honestly, I was too dumbstruck by the toilet to really mind that my work would last about... 15 minutes. Plus, these are all pretty temporary anyway. Here's the opening sequence and theme song to "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" for a touch of nostalgia.

Also, it should be known that I initially tried to do this in on the 2nd floor of Macy's but saw the woman with who's entire job was cleaning up the bathroom after each person and yelling "NEXT!" to the humongous line of women waiting to pee, and just couldn't justify giving her even the tiniest bit more work to do.


Charlie Brown Quotes by Charles Schulz to finish it off...
"I've developed a new philosophy . . . I only dread one day at a time."
"Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love."
"Sometimes I lie awake at night and I ask, 'Why me?', then a voice answers 'Nothing personal, your name just happened to come up.'"
"There must be millions of people all over the world who never get any love letters... I could be their leader."
