From Will Leben in Zuckie’s Playroom on 1/15, this image from the Weird Wheels group:
(#1) Comment by Todd Ivler in the group: Due to lagging Cybertruck sales Tesla branches out…
Now: a bit of background on the Tesla Cybertruck, whose style inspired the mensroom accessory in #1; and my reaction to this accessory.
The 2025 Tesla Cybertruck. From the Car and Driver site:
(#2) C&D describes it as a giant stainless-steel hunk of electric pickup; I see it as a fugitive from some apocalyptic dystopian fantasy — an expensive one, since it sells for $81,985 to $101,985, taxes not included (photo by Greg Pajo from C&D)
My title for #1. An on-line exchange between me and Will Leben:
— AZ: The Brutalism of the Urinals.
— WL > AZ: Inspired by “The Bonfire of the Vanities”? Or by something else.
— AZ > WL: Yes, by “Bonfire”; my subconscious does a lot of my creative work for me. (It was only after this title came to me in a flash that I realized where it was from.) … I suppose that there’s now a question whether I can take credit for the joke; did the surrealists take credit for the poems that came to them by “automatic writing”?
