The Magic Restroom Cafe in Southern California is toilet-themed.
If all goes well, this restaurant's business will be in the crapper.
The Magic Restroom Café in Southern California has had a successful "soft opening" according to their Facebook page, and plans a grand opening soon.

A dessert served in a miniature toilet bowl.
The City of Industry restaurant is toilet-themed, as guests sit on toilet-style stools and are served food in miniature toilet bowls, according to a report from Los Angeles' KTLA 5. Yelp reviews describe the décor as including urinals and toilets along the wall, and shower fixtures near some of the tables.

Urinals and toilets make up the decor.
The inspiration comes from a place called the Modern Toilet Restaurant in Taiwan, reports the Los Angeles Times. YoYo Li, a first-time restaurateur from China, decided to open one in the United States due to the popularity of such cafes in Taiwan, according to the Times, which describes the place as "rather crude, but it's all in good humor."

Yeah, this has been in the news. Along with the news that Miley Cyrus gets a $6500 Kohler toilet from her producer because her wrecking ball song went to number one.
I liked the days when as a nation we were more orally fixated rather than anally fixated.
So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit

Yeah. What Greg said.
Every week or two I get a newsletter email from Asian Cult Cinema -- gentle reminders of flicks that I'm sure to love. Two of them keep popping up:

MONSTURD (2009) Shit Monster Emerges from the Depths

Now, really.
What kind of person do they think I am?
I'm nobody's pony.

With the establishment of the Lynch Lair, is this even relevant anymore?
Or is it just all of DOOM vs. Scapino? Because that works for me too.

Chaparral? Does this mean we gotta wear chaps when we visit? You know Greg’s thing with chaps. It’s as bad as your knicker fetish. Both are dealbreakers, man.

The only feller who mentions “knickers” at every opportunity is DM hizzown self. Some of us have learned to enjoy our knickers in *silence*.
G-Man gets his hide chapped pretty often, but he may be OK with the appellation.

Woah bro. Don't get so defensive. It's no big. We accept you, fetishes and all.
Interesting factoid from Thesaurus.plus:
Quote:Knickers
Knickers noun – Underpants worn by women.
Chaps and knickers are semantically related in pants topic. Sometimes you can use "Chaps" instead a noun "Knickers", if it concerns topics such as clothing for legs.
