Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

overnight vinegar soak

Which involves either extreme engineering (lori!) or removing the shower head. Not sure how this one comes off, but it'll be a weekend project. It's one of those big flat round ones, and it's actually really pretty when they're going in the right direction.

Thanks!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I have not taken any Latin at all, that is true. WTF? Is this like all parents thinking their children are computer-whizzes?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

ita, I've used some of that CLR crap or even OxyClean in a deep boel pr pitcher. It sucks to stand there and hold the thing over your head, but it's less trouble than taking it apart.

Punishingly Intricate

Ooh is it household cleaning tips time? I got a shiny new white refrigerator and it's so beautiful and clean except for I cannot get the grayish sticky residue from the sticker that was attached to it off. I've used regular counter cleaner stuff and ... that's probably about it. Any ideas?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Plastic bag and duct tape?

Trudy has a good idea. Or get a bucket with a handle and hang it there.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I would take it off and soak it in some Oxyclean or something.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Bad Day on the High Sea

Here, raw sexual aggression is symbolized by the sperm whale, while the squid acts as a thinly-disguised metaphor for the multi-armed oligarchies of Rockefeller, Hearst, and Morgan. Their battle plays against the backdrop of the sea, standing in for--what else?--the vastness of the unconscious mind.

But then what does the Tyrannosaurus Rex represent?

Hey--I have a cleaning question (my lameassed OCD is kicking in again)--for shower nozzles that are partially blocked, how does one clear them?

You know what I do?

I buy a new showerhead. Unless it is a really fancy-schmancy, gold plated, handmade special expensive showerhead, I've found it isn't worth the trouble trying to degunk those damned things.

WD40, or even vegetable oil.
