OK. I get it now. I don't usually watch the videos, but I had to before I figured this one. Cute.
Veronica Hosking Apr 30, 2012, 5:03pm UTC
Yes a little piece of NYC in Phoenix, AZ.

I didn't get it at all.....a piece of NYC in Phoenix....I'll go back and watch the video again.

The men's room was decorated in a Times Square theme, and they referred to it as Times Square.

Yes they do call it Times Square and my hubby says it's still strange to use the facilities. I actually did on a visit to Blockwise. Still trying to figure why decorating a bathroom to look like Times Square was even considered let alone implemented.

Delightfully amusing.

LOL - and your husband's work bathroom
Veronica Hosking Apr 30, 2012, 5:38pm UTC
I just noticed my views aren't moving either. 5 comments and 0 views you guys are magicians.
Katryn D. Apr 30, 2012, 5:40pm UTC
who you talking to? No one is here
Veronica Hosking Apr 30, 2012, 5:47pm UTC
That's okay I like talking to myself.
Katryn D. Apr 30, 2012, 5:48pm UTC
ah yes, but you are obviously replying to yourself as well and that is suppose to be a sign of insanity
Veronica Hosking Apr 30, 2012, 5:53pm UTC
I already knew I was crazy.

Fun poem to go along with the video.

It also reminds me of how Times Square used to be. It's a lpretty tourist oriented now but it used to be the most disgusting place in the city. And it did smell like pee, among other things.

Yes I have been told this which may make Times Square as bathroom decor appropriate, but I still think it's a strange design choice.

that was a stinker...ha...went to Paris once..they have bathroom stalls on the streets, you can see the legs of people sitting in there....thanks for a shocking senryu

I...I...I hardly have the words.

I do see that *this* one is for the contest, not the other I Remember acrostic.

Mindful Poetry accepts your submission with a smile and a grateful heart.
