| #14 It would be fun to reformat the cakes to play dixie chick songs. Now that would make sense. Hell I'd buy one and put in the outhouse. Right next to the stack of korans we used for toilet paper. |

| #12 Lame. I thought it was going to do an urinalysis and send the result out to the database by WiFi. |

| #9 Talking or not, I'm not very fond of urinal cakes anyway, they're not very good-tasting... in fact, I've never tasted cakes so sour, and yet, I've eaten a lot of cakes in my life. |

| #4 The best urinal idea I've heard of was what they did in the Schiphol airport in Amsterdam. Each urinal had a small picture of a housefly painted on it, right at the optimal place to pee to minimize splashing. The found out that psychologically, it is almost irresistible to want to hit that damn fly. |

| #3 It's classic avoidance by the Donk pols, who run the state, to the issue of DWI which kills repeated and consistently around the state more than drivebys, WoT, or a bad batch of green chili croquets. They've passed all sort of laws, stiffer penalties, and have all sorts of enforcement, but they won't address the key non-player in the program, the judiciary. It's about every three or four months that another 'judge' is picked up DWI along with the usual repeat crowd and opportune mass murders. That's cause in the state the patron system of family and cousins and friends need to cover for each other. It's about who you know. Consider it Mexico lite. |

| #1 The state has ordered 500 talking urinal cakes that will deliver a recorded anti-DWI message to bar and restaurant patrons who make one last pit stop before getting behind the wheel. I wonder what NM taxpayers think about this... "Hey there, big guy. Having a few drinks?" a female voice says a few seconds after an approaching male sets off a motion sensor in the device. "It's time to call a cab or ask a sober friend for a ride home." "And it's time for you to STFU." The devices, manufactured by New York-based Healthquest Technologies Inc., were invented by Richard Deutsch. He said there's no other device like it on the market. At last-- something to be thankful for. |
