Wow!
Wow. Incredible. Very well done.
Oh, I see, that weird painting on the back wall near the monitor is supposed to be “Bat-WOMAN”?
(In the world of MSTie fans, where every person on the street is immediately expected to know every single private running-joke reference from the history of the series, meaning Mike refs.
It could have been called the more series-general “Lavatory of Love”, but no, we have to stick the fan-Pavlovian Tor reference in there, because, well, Tor. Although could have been worse, we might have had the Lav-ATOR-y.)
Otherwise, A for effort. :)
Is there a Zap Rowsdower handicapped stall? If they build one I recommend a solar theme.
How about calling it the load pan bay?
Very cool.
Not sure I could pee with Tom watching, though.
The painting that you speak of is a completely different animal. Although done by the same artist as the bathroom it is not MST3K inspired. Eric takes old paintings found at yard sales and paints over them. This one just so happens to be a portrait of some random guy.

Don’t drink and drive. Drink first, then drive.
Does that mean you could pee with CROW watching?
Amazing! Nice shout out to the site there too…
If someone’s on their smartphone watching video while sitting on the thunder bucket , maybe they can watch “MST3K Poopie!”
Awesome!
Wow. A lovely espression of MST3K fandom and EricJ still has to poop all over it. Bite me, Dickweed.
A gender neutral bathroom!!! Eat your heart out north carolina :laugh:
Best bathroom ever!
Like every bathroom in every private home. So?
Single occupancy makes the distinction irrelevant.
Well, if you happen to be BOTH genders then using this bathroom is indeed gender neutral (don’t laugh… at least not with the PC police watching, as there ARE such folks. I shudder when I think of the day we’ll have to deal with THOSE issues).
I’m reminded of an episode of “NewsRadio” where the men’s room at the station gets remodeled. It ends up looking so opulent and fancy that the male staff just can’t bring themselves to use it as an actual men’s room. Then stupid Matthew actually goes to the bathroom there and ruins everything. I’d want to see this bathroom, but I don’t think I could bring myself to…do my business there.
Very good work, there.
As much as I like craft beer, I’d be visiting the restroom quite often.
It also gives a new meaning to “crappy movie.”
I was trying to guess what Crow was made of and here’s what I have so far…
His net looks like a cut-to-size plastic thing you file magazines in.
His chest looks like two french fry baskets.
His abdomen looks like a 16.9 oz pop bottle.
One hand is a spatula and the other is a pasta spoon.
His mouth is a toy bowling pin.
His eyes are ping pong balls, but I can’t quite make out what his head is.
Nicely done Bottle Shop.
:yes: That’s just too darn cute.
Thanks to everyone for the comments on the restroom I created for The Bottle Shop! Due to the intimate size of the room, a standing user is faced only with the gray letter “B” while a sitting user is faced with a gray door. As awkward as it may seem to do your business in the presence of the bots or within the Satellite of Love, “Just repeat to yourself it’s just a show…”!
@GizmonicTemp- you are spot on. I purchased all of the materials at the Dollar and local Mart stores. You are correct on the burger baskets and everything else, except for the ping pong balls. They were too large for the scale so I used two small balls that came with a mini bowling set! This was done on a minimal budget and I worked to create recognizable tributes, knowing that they would not be exact replicas. I read that Crow’s head was originally a soap dish, so I looked at soap dishes and settled on a suction cup toothbrush holder.
Tom is a $1 gumball machine, plastic bowl, plastic cup, some barrettes, a toy fire truck, two measuring cups for shoulders, plastic hands and some tubing. I was walking around fitting the parts in the store! The rest is random shapes/toys/objects painted gray and arranged on the wall (to put it very simply). The La va TOR Y sign just came to me and seemed to fit (Plus I have a soft spot for Ed Wood, no Mike or Joel allegiances implied).
I enjoyed creating this and felt that it was done in and captures the spirit of the show! I hope you can come and see it!!
Cheers,
Eric
Sweet! Thanks for the shopping list for a mini-Crow and mini-Servo! How ironic that the easiest-to-replicate item from the original Crow (ping pong balls) didn’t work for this version?
Oh, yes. Now I see the firetruck for his chest-tech. Cool!
The Shadowrama on the mirror is a great touch as well. Nothing like being riffed when you’re just making sure you’re public-presentable!
This is fantastic, I’ll definitely stop by the next time I’m vacationing in the area!
Finally got down to Myrtle Beach to see this… And the place closed down on July 2. What a shame!
