[sudo-discuss] I'm going to pee sitting down at the omni: A call for others to join.

[Ed Biow]

Good idea M^6 , and Einstein & I will start dropping trou, but I find I
_can_ actually can get almost of all my Goldwater in the receptacle
despite my underwhelming endowment, but only if I kneel in someone
else's splatter.  Luckily, I always wear shorts, so its easy to wipe off
my knees.  My pal David Rovics wrote a song apropos of this issue, Stand
Up For Your Rights But Sit Down To Piss:

BTW, what's the story on the urinals in the head in the hallway to the
sudoroom?  One of them was operational, but I notice they are all
cordoned off now.  Do we need funds to fix them or are they destined for
the knackers?
