Come here often?
We've always had a mild aversion to the phrase "urinal cake." Just calling it a "cake" is wrong. It's even worse than calling uranium "yellowcake." Who would eat it?
And now urinal cakes can talk. For the moment, they're uttering anti-drunk-driving statements. But surely their repertoire should be expanded. What else should urinal cakes say?

When the urinal cakes start talking I know I have a drinking problem.

You know that when the owner can afford talking urinal cakes, they are charging too much for the adult beverages.

Help! I'm seeing pink urinal cakes! And they talk to me!

I prefer urinating onto ice. Always reminds of some of the bars we used to frequent in Jersey City. Joey Starr's, for one.

I believe the Clam Broth House in Hoboken also had the ice.

The other thing about urinals -- every one of the valves was made by the Sloan Valve Co. Every one.

Here's another fine Sloan product: assisted flush. Just one problem - they explode.

Flush twice. It's a long way to city hall.

"Hey, watch where you go buddy". "You're mom isn't here to clean up after you".

Step closer. It's not as long as you think.

Tom,
A talking urinal cake does not mean you have a drinking problem. Now, if you start talking back to the urinal cake? That's when you have a drinking problem.

Seems like they're able to address only half the population with this product (albeit perhaps more than half of the DUI problem).
I wonder what they might do to get the message across to the fairer sex?
Maybe I'll not go there.

I hope Fireman Randy doesn't read this. Next thing you know, we'll have a Talking Loo with Sustainable Susan telling us to wipe the seat with nearby uncollected leaves.

When you piss, you'd better not miss.
Or else clean the floor, and piss no more.

Back in 2004 I thought of a great voting scheme: last one visible wins. http://www.rcaselectron.com/beervotes.jpg
(And Jack, have you ever been able to tell the difference among the Sloan product family? The "Sloan Royal SuperQuiet Flush II" seems no different than the rest of them....)

Urinal mint is what we call them in my neck of the woods.
