Common items found inside a Thunder Pavillion include cobwebs, a tin of ashes or lime, dust, 1-ply toilet paper, an old empty stubby beer bottle, and a stick.

"I had to go so bad I had a turtlehead, but Buddy was in the bathroom, so I had to go use the Thunder Pavillion!" "I didn't want to stink up the cottage so I used the Thunder Pavillion."
