OT: Just when you think you've seen everything!

Post by RV7Factory »

This is totally OT but you won't believe this...

My office looks out from the 4th floor of our building at the guest parking lot of the building next to us which is occupied by Dreamworks (the digital movie studio).

When I came into work this morning, they had a section of their visitor lot roped off and had hay bails arranged in an odd pattern. I thought maybe they were having an outdoor party as they often do.

Someone just yelled, look out the window, so I did. What did I see? As I type, I am watching about 8 motorized toilets and a bathtub being raced around an oval track set up in the Dreamworks lot. The hay bails are for crash protection. If I had a camera I would post a picture as this has to be seen to be believed.

Happy Friday! I need an adult beverage!

Okay, I'll bite.

How do you motorize a toilet? This is awfully hard to envision in one's mind's eye.

I mean, what did these things look like?

It was an employee party for the release of "Flushed Away."

Friend of mine is the Director of Something there.

Apparently they did it at the Pasadena facility as well.

I suppose if that is what it takes to keep those people at their best, why not, they pump out some pretty incredible stuff. Oh the life in the other CA :roll: .

As a Californian myself let me just say I passed COUNTLESS bales of hay today in the magnificent Central Valley, and did not see one, not one, motorized toilet.

Just for the record.
