Failure is an option
I love the smell of tipped over (by SLR) portapotties in the morning....smelled like victory.
1. The portapotties at the start of the seattle marathon are numerous and all in a big row...
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
2. I am not physically capable of capsizing an occupied portapotty.
So you have tried?
I also do not believe that anybody tipped him. Nor that it fell. The concise reason the dude got kicked out was for serial cheating at races... and his stories about that stuff had similar levels of detail. But he was lying. (right perfesser?)
I had never heard that story about our good buddy. That made my day (and DW's). It could only have been better if you HAD done it.

I also realized right after peeing that it was one of the ones with the side thingy. I did the right thing and wiped the splashes off the seat with toilet paper.
For the women who came after, thank you.

OCD If you don't laugh ...

Wait..we can get kicked out of the maniacs for cheating?!?
I'm happy, hope you're happy too...
Approximate chances of the following:
Getting into the New York City Marathon in five tries: 68%
Getting into Western States in one try: 8.5%
Picking the pooped-on portajohn on the first attempt: 4%
Guess which one I was successful at.
That's my life folks.
There was more to it than that.

It's even possible to raise the seat.

ok granted I saw the title and clicked on it anyway so there is contributory negligance here but still
I have a friend who got trapped in one of those once. For whatever reason the port-a-johns were right at the start of the race. She went in and while she was in there the race started. She very literally could not open the door without it banging into people. I think you might get your butt kicked if you banged a port-a-john door into a lot of people.
Sometimes I forget I'm still awakeI fuck up and say these things out loud
More Cowbell!
I went into one where someone had actually crapped in the side thingy.
When you're on your deathbed, you won't be wishing that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will be wishing that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
