seeing as the window is alot smaller than the porta potty door… FAIL!
new definition of gravity toilet.
The porta potty is stored up high, when the workers are not on site. Thus we can tell that there is a problem with vandalism or theft in that neighborhood. Since porta potties don’t have a high value on the black market, we can assume they have a vandalism problem.
Being Dutch, I can tell you it’s not a portable toilet at all. It’s a moving box, and in Amsterdam, where I’m from, this is all but unusual.
Nothing to see here, move along.
(Look how it says “SKYBOX” on the side.)
Look at the pictures on the skybox website, this seriously is a toilet! The url even says “toilet rental”in dutch…

insert obligatory zombie trap comment below
At first I read: “insert obligatory zombie crap comment below”
This is a genoius Zombie Apocalpyse thing. Zombie’s cant climb. Right?
Wylie Coyote rents an ACME porta potty
Is that porta potty an elevator?
No. That elevator is a porta potty!
In certain neighborhoods, I think you’ll find that’s not uncommon.
Seriously! Amazing! They got extra house space for free! And a toilet!! OWNZ!
Today, on “English Idioms, Demonstrated,” we examine the phrase “stink to high heaven.”
Join us tomorrow when we cover such classics as “pay though the nose” and “screwed the pooch.”
I want to see “rack (one’s) brain” and “roll with the punches.”
I’m thinking I’ll skip the episode that includes “bought the farm,” “kick the bucket,” “a chip on your shoulder,” and a “new york minute” since it sounds like a rather dull show to me.
Yeah, and I think we’ve already seen often enough, “without a hitch,” “getting your wires crossed,” “giving someone enough rope,” and probably (though how exciting!), “getting away with murder.”
*sigh* Comment is awaiting moderation:
Yeah, and I think we’ve already seen “without a hitch,” “getting your wires crossed,” “giving someone enough rope,” and probably (though how exciting!), “getting away with m*rder.”
You can get away with it, but not allowed to say so. Well, that’s probably good game strategy, anyway.
Well…after observing the picture and earlier discussions about idioms, perhaps you could have used a different word or phrase in its place like “getting away with wasting someone.”
Hmm…thought I hit ‘Reply’ to kc/cc’s moderation comment. Weird.
Hmm. I might actually need to see that one to figure it out! I think most people are more familiar with just plain, “getting wasted.”
I can’t wait for the “Go over like a…” series. I’ll watch the “Like a fart in church” episode, but I’ll skip the “Lead balloon” episode”
Although, I do like Led Zeppelin.
Well, that’s their origin, according to stories. Somebody didn’t think much of the band when he said it would go over like a lead balloon.
I think there’s a part about a wet blanket (*yawn*), but that’s offset by the bald-faced liar who was actually born in a barn.
I believe those are examples of similes, but thanks for playing!
Similes, yes, but the “goes over” part makes them into idioms. Don’t jump the gun!
Upon further research, I now know that idioms and similes are not mutually exclusive. I’ll be over here in the corner eating crow.
Take a picture of the contraption you make to cook it.
We’re all just playing it by ear, Dogmeat. Anyone who thinks otherwise is dead wrong. Besides, most of the time, you’re ahead of the pack anyway. A lot of people are just big hat, no cattle.
I’ve seen that “Lead Balloon” episode. I remember what Adam and Jamie did, but I’m not shure about how it went over.
Lead Balloons. They’re so heavy, they’ll float with sufficient helium!
When will the “Kiss your ass goodbye” episode air?
Right after the “Go screw yourself” episode.
That’s a segment from the upcoming episode, “Falling Off the Turnip Truck.” It’ll be on after the more tedious parts about “getting a grip” and “greasing the skids.”
Oh for the golden age of Mad Magazine, with their Horrifying Cliche’s… racking one’s thoughts, killing off a few idle hours, tempting a fate…
Oh, and this one? This one would be “There’ll be pie in the sky, by and by.”
Also featured in this episode, “Here’s mud in your eye!” and “That’s not mud…”
Ew! After that one, I think I need to go drown my sorrows!
Actually, hotforwords.com has probably already gone over these phrases.
When a man’s washroom exploded, he needed something temporary, and used his second floor window. What he didn’t realize was the sun’s effect on the box. Heat, humidity, and crap, create the worst possible strong scent combination
I would say that this device was used to torture POWs a couple of wars ago, but then again, this one has an accessible toilet. Well, it’s accessible if you’re already in there anyway, and you move real carefully.
Again I think this is domestic family issue. Someone have forgotten to pull the toilet seat down for the last time!
This elevator stinks!
Going down! 1 or 2?
We shall elevate and high-lite this man’s issues far above our own!
That looks like the Jefferson’s early penthouse.
Best prank ever in 3… 2… 1…
seriously, it says ‘skybox’ on the side of the potti…
We at Sky Box Enterprises believe you should have the landscape view you always wanted. Real estate in exotic locales is expensive or impractical. Who hasn’t dreamed of a home right on the beach, in the middle of the African plains, or overlooking a breathtaking mountain range? Or why not the moon or the bottom of the ocean? The sky’s the limit here at Sky Box. Our deluxe models have ambient sounds included to make the experience all the more realistic.
Do yourself a favor and call us today! A representative will help you with getting one of our sky boxes installed outside of your window. Think outside the box…think Sky Box!
Frank was waiting for his turn on the porta-bungie, although Tim said it was a pretty crappy ride.
At least its better then Splash Mountain.
John and Lou want to go next!
If it’s better than Splash Mountain, I’d hate to see what’s in the water for that ride.
Yeah, the window may be smaller than the door, but at this level of kludge, I’d be surprised if there were still a door in place.
“Dear, we moved here a good six months ago. Don’t you think if the landlord was really going to fix the toilet he would’ve done it by now?”
What worries me is how nice the crane built into the townhouse looks.
I guess it’s in Amsterdam, it’s almost obligitory to have a crane in your house.
What the Hell? Are the Dutch really that….. well, pick your adjective.
Mealkin: Actually, I don’t think it is in Amsterdam: the neighbours don’t have a hook for the crane. I think we have a similar building in Utrecht, but I’m not sure, I do know they had a big renovation a year ago, so it might be them.
AntiCat: well if stairs are a bit tight, like in older buildings, but still have to get your couche, bed, washmachine, dishwacher up to the xth floor. it’s damn wel handy to have a thing like a crane build in.
Woah, talk about getting high on pot.
Garde L’eau!!!!
Merde ascenseur?
For those who want the cramped spaces and acrophobia of the Mile-High club without that pesky three-hour wait at the security checkpoint.
I see no way that this highly smartical idea could EVER fail.
Anyone walking underneath may think there are some rather large birds overhead. Does the potty include a target sight pointing down?
Three story townhouse, fresh carpet, recently renovated. Bathroom addition!
Unless I’m much mistaken, that appears to be from the Police Academy Stunt Show, which used to be shown at MovieWorld on the Gold Coast, Australia. An ‘unsuspecting’ stuntsmen would be trapped with his pants down.
No, it’s not…
It says “window seat” right here on the drawings….
Lookin’ like a fool with your pants to the… Wait, nevermind.
Wait! Stop! John, don’t do it! You have too much to live for! I know you think everything stinks and that you feel empty inside sometimes, but that’s normal, John. Trust me, everything will come out okay. Who cares if people dump on you or say you’re full of crap? John, there are a lot of people down here that need you…people that can’t wait to have you open up to them. They’re lining up for you, John, to give you all they have. Please, John, think it over… it’s not your time to go… please, just come down off that ledge and we can talk….
If John doesn’t jump now, maybe I will…
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies, that you’ve been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand
They told me that it would only take a day to fix the plumbing. This new arrival has me a bit worried.
Lol, the potta is called SkyBox, how fitting!
Wow, that house has a smellevator
I think they’ve come up with a completely new idea for the pendulum of a grandfather clock! HALLELUJAH!
Amsterdam FTW!!! that guy who made that could be on high
The BBC deny reports that they are cutting back on the special effects budget for the next series of Doctor Who
I t,hink that it would scare the crap out of me!
They said 2 bedrooms, 1 and 1/2 baths.. I’ve never seen the rednecks bring the outhouse up to the second floor, though..
The stingy landlord finally gave in to the tenant’s demands for his own bathroom.
new holistic treatment for constipation … gravity …
Now you can go to the restroom as you use the elevator.
Again, it’s called a Portable Potty!!!
wow.
what a world we live in. -_-
I have been hoping that we would improve our civilization-then I see picture like this-
I knew i could bring my ensuite in on budget!
