OT: Rutgers Stadium Flashback - peed in a trough tonight...

[RU848789]

...at the Tuckahoe Tavern and Inn in Marmora, outside OC NJ, where we're on vacation this week. Great old restaurant/inn on the water (the Great Egg Harbor), which has been there since the early 60s (building is much older, I think). Hadn't peed in a trough more than a couple of times (in some old pubs in Ireland), since they took the troughs out of RU Stadium with the first expansion. Old school, lol.

Food was pretty damn good, too, and what unbelievably gorgeous weather we've had in OC this week, so far, with more great days to come and the water is still in the mid-70s. Staying at a really cool rental townhouse right on the boardwalk on Wesley near 22nd - decided to splurge, since rentals are about half price in mid-Sept. and we had a lot of family/friends visiting. Eating really well and I'm up about $700 in poker in 2 relatively short sessions (2-3 hours each), so we got that goin' for us.

I used to pee in troughs all the time back in Australia while growing up. actually thought that was the norm for public bathrooms until I came to the US. Never seen them in the US though.

Maryland has them.

That's funny, because my mom and my wife both got the "Thanksgiving Meal" last night of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans (all with gravy) and cranberry sauce and they loved it. We also got there before 5 pm for the "blue hair" early bird special - OMG, I don't think there were more than 10 people under 60 in the whole, gigantic place, lol.

since we are usually off the beach by 3 and in full happy hour mode by 3:05 at our house on the weekends we are big fans of the early bird specials. You can get some great full course meals for $20 around these parts!

Raceway Park in Englishtown had them. Haven't been there in years, so I dont know if they still do.

Slight correction:
The Tuckahoe Inn is located in Beesley's Point, Upper Township. Not Marmora.

If you're going to the game this Saturday, you have a good shot at repeating that feat in the same week. Beaver Stadium has them in some restrooms.

How do you guys tell them apart from the feeding troughs?

; ) Could NOT resist.

Four urinals in a huge new men's room in the end zone makes no sense. Bring back the troughs. As an aside, I was in Costco recently and they have a trough for a sink. Wouldn't you know it, a guy walks in and takes a leak in the trough. Must have been a nostalgic RU fan. $$$$

In Will Ferrell's current HBO special he talks about one of his memories of going to see his first MLB game was having to pee in a trough.

The key about the troughs, of course, is that the participants had the option of lining up on EITHER side. Therefore, you had two line of guys (IIRC six to eight each side was max), watering up a storm with the opposite line or six or eight guys in full view Old school.

For those of you going to PSU this weekend... Beaver stadium still had them the last time I was there about 6 years ago.

The feeding troughs have food in them.

Diego's on Garnet St in Pacific Beach/San Diego had one. Dang, when that place went out of business I cried.

Funny. I have Thanksgiving at my cousin's house a quarter mile down Harbor Road. This year I'll have to pop in there, start the Bells Must Ring chant & see who joins in.

I just rode my bike down to the beach to step away from work for an hour and take a swim. Absolutely perfect day and no more than 5 people on our beach on the north end. Other than the water being flat and no waves you picked a damn good week to be on the beach. But the flat water makes it great for SUP's. I was out on my paddleboard yesterday morning around 7:30 and got alongside about 15 dolphins, they were going very slowly, so I stayed with them for about 5 blocks, sometimes they were within a few feet of me. Absolutely amazing, I could see them watching me every time they came up for air. Eventually they got bored and headed out, but watching them break the surface and seeing the sun reflecting off their spray was almost a religious experience for me.
