PICTURE PEE-FECT
Kate von Achen, 2006 graduate, has always wanted to try peeing in a urinal. She's been to several countries that have "squat toiletts," so she was confident she would be successful if she ever tried. Recently, in a drunken stupor and dressed as a sailor, she did pee in a urinal in the bathroom at the Bourgeois Pig, 6 E. Ninth St., her place of employment. The next morning she awoke to an email that contained photographic evidence of her late-night triumph.
