Can You Hit The Spot? Guess the Number 1 Tinkle.
DISCLAIMER: This photo is in no way related to the winning tinkle.
Before I announce the winning tinkle in this list of urinary awesomeness, a contest is in order. We’ve visited three continents on this journey to find the perfect toilet. Outhouses. Airplanes. Nothing has been overlooked.
Please guess the location of the Number 1 Tinkle in your comment today. I will give a special, place-oriented prize to the Reader who guesses the exact location of the Number 1 Tinkle. If no one divines the precise tinkle spot, the winner will be selected according to the following criteria:
- One point for the right continent
- Three points for the right country
- Ten points for the right city
- Three points for the right type of place (hotel, bar, house, apartment, the dirt, etc.)
If we have a tie based upon the above point system, I will draw a winner at random.
Comments placed after 1:11PM Eastern Standard Time will be disqualified, because the correct answer will be posted at that time.
To encourage you to try, Dear Reader, I will give you one tinkly hint. The winning locale is less than one mile from a spot that’s already been featured in this series.
Good luck!

It’s your new house. The comfort of your own bathroom.
Or maybe that’s just me…
Fiona, this answer is worth four points.
I know that you had been trying to keep this secret, but, since you’re going to tell anyway, we might as well reveal your penchant for public exhibitions. Thus, your #1 Tinkle was behind this statue in Montreal in a public park…oh my, the shame of it all.
Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine Monument
Parc Lafontaine
Borough Plateau Mont-Royal
Lou, this answer is worth one point, though if I were scoring by how much it made me laugh, it would be priceless.
win win
A photo of your favorite spot.

Is it Las Vegas?
Jim, this answer is worth four points.
I was curious as to why girls tinkle yet boys are a little more crude when it comes to the description. I’ll go for the tie and echo Lou because he’s always right.
Howard, this answer is worth one point. It is not always advisable to look to Grand Poobah Lou.
fail fail
First, I have to reccomend following the link above…special, place oriented prize…is that some sort of bizzare clue?
Second, somehwere in your hometown when you were but a wee lass.
Just a caution for anyone wanting to cheat, but it is a funny, funny link.
Robert, your answer is worth four points.
I’m with Speccy….
No matter how humble, small, outdated, less-than-spectacular it may be, there’s no place quite like the comfort of the known throne; so I, too, say the bath at home: North America/USA/Charleston/One Cool Blow.
Karen, your answer is worth four points.
I’m still back at your upgrade…I’m living the high life in the Owner’s suite and I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon…
Lori, this answer is worth four points as well.
I have no idea but can’t wait to find out! I like the first guess.
If Fiona’s guess is yours as well, it is also worth four points.
OK, my guess is on a patch of dirt in the mountains of North Carolina; your patch of dirt.
Cheryl, this answer is worth four points.
This is kinda like pin the tail on the donkey…
It is less than a mile from a spot that’s already been mentioned in this series. The clues are right here, in other posts. If I give any more clues, I will give it away.
You know how I am about surprises.
Im going to guess something recent inspired this series, so was it something in New Orleans?!
Megan, this answer is worth four points.
I guessing 725 Johnnie Dodds Boulevard, Mount Pleasant on a Tuesday morning. Congratulations President Andra.
Thanks, Chuck.
Your answer is worth four points. Your sentiments are priceless.
Spain, Barcelona, hilltop, near the Miro
Robert, I regret to inform you that this answer is worth no points.
But, I will put it on my list for next time.
OK, then I’ll guess LaGuardia or Kennedy airport public restroom.
Four points.
North America, USA, New York City, a bar,
Robert, this answer is worth seven points.
Hmm, I think you have a tremendous love for Chicago and MTM (not in that order, of course!).
So, I’m going with North America, USA, Chicago, and The Cape Cod Room.
Love the picture, btw. Looks like you were having a blast with MTM. Pure joy on your face.
Hmmmm. How to score this one? Technically, the Cape Cod Room is a restaurant at the Drake Hotel, so…..
Mike, your answer is worth fourteen points.
I’m not competitive at all …
The Field Museum, Chicago
That’s a magnificent guess, but it’s more than a mile away. Fourteen points.
Last guess
:
John Hancock Center, Signature Lounge
Dingdingdingdingdingdingding! We have a winner!
North America, USA, Yosemite National park, Hotel.
After your epic pee in an outhouse, the hotel facilities would seem like heaven.
Helen, this answer is worth four points.
Is it your happy place in Arizona?
Jill, this answer is worth four points.
I meant to include the toilet in the Happy Place in Arizona, but I have a brain fog affliction.
Hmmmm…. Chicago, USA, but where. Ummmm bathroom of a Restaurant called Pannecaldo. Or possibly Pennecaldo. Having never been there, I do not know which Google maps spelling to believe.
Jessie, we now have an undisputed winner, but this answer was worth fourteen points.
It’s gotta be 1:11 somewhere… pray tell, Queen A, where is this wacky Chicago landmark that is forever stained.
Now you know.
I’m just laughing again! How do you keep it all straight?
It takes a sick, twisted mind to be able to keep track of such things, Debra.
Darn, I’m too late! I wouldn’t have guessed correctly though. Oh, well, better luck next tinkle.
Hugs,
Kathy
I hope you and Miranda have an awesome time, Kathy!!
Jumping on Speccy’s answer…your home where you found that little lizard, right?
We did have a lizard at our old place, Tricia. We released him into the wild about a month before we moved. MJ Monaghan won the contest.
Oh heck… too late to guess… I wouldn’t have known anyway… congrats MJ!
The photo is adorable… kind of reminds me of the deer on our island, when caught in the headlights… if they were wearing a hat…
Deer in a hat. I’m flattered by the comparison, Ted.
