Don't Dream It, Be It

Although borrowed from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", these are words for me to live by. Someone asked me, "Aren't you a little old to have such big dreams?" to which I replied, "Am I too old to be alive?"

The Best Places To Poop

My boyfriend and I were hanging out down on Main Street in St. Charles the other day when we came up with the perfect title for my first album- "Crap For The Masses." That title is perfect for the follow-up album, "More Crap For The Masses." I guess we are just both bummed that the record industry prefers to make a quick buck, with one well-produced "hook" song, as opposed to a well-produced album and an artist with staying power. Anyway, the cover of the album would show me taking a shite, of course. The follow-up would show me taking a shite in a cow pasture.

This brings me to the whole point of this post;Where are the best places in the world to poop?

Here is the situation: You are in Manhattan in the East Village and have to go number two. Your hotel room is in Hackensack, New Jersey. What do you do? Head to Barnes and Noble in the East Village. Barnes and Noble in the East Village is by far the best place to poop away from home. Stop into any Barnes and Noble for that matter, and you will never be disappointed by their facilities. The library at Julliard wins second place, followed by any of the restrooms in the Chase Park Plaza, St. Louis, Missouri, the restrooms at Plaza Frontenac, also in St. Louis, Missouri. Also, any of the four and five-star hotels on and around Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California have fine facilities.

On the flip side, some of the absolute worst places to do your business are the Bahrain airport, passenger pick-up, the Cairo airport, Cairo, Egypt, and the winner of the worst place to take a poop...The big Suk (the one that has a mosque in the center of it) in Kuwait City, Kuwait. I'm sure it's great if you are from Kuwait, but not if you're from any country whose toilets are not holes in the ground. The second worst is at a rest stop in the Sinai Peninsula. This place has not had running water since 1952. The folks are friendly, but the toilet tried to eat me.

If anyone happens to read this and would like to share their fabulous, or not so fantastic, pooping experiences, please share!
