ooh ... maybe I'll try that sometime ... if I ever get another one (still waiting for my boss to do my 2005 annual and first quarter 2006).
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think this will cheer up anyone who needs it.

Dear Toilet,
I'll keep plunging you if you promise it will all be okay in the end.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
See? It does happen!
People in Aberystwyth had an unexpected windfall when a man showered what is thought to be thousands of pounds into the air at a pedestrian crossing.
The man was heard to shout: "Who wants free money?" seconds before hurling the cash into the air in Alexandra Road.
"I just couldn't believe my eyes," said Mr Morris. "All the money was in £20 notes and I've heard rumours that the man threw about £20,000 away.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Dana, I think that may be the single greatest thing I have ever seen.

shrift, can you at least turn off the water? That should at least take it from crisis to problem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I've been to Aberystwyth. But I certainly would have remembered the money thing.

I did turn off the water a few hours ago. The problem is that plunging isn't taking care of whatever's clogging it, and I was hoping to avoid calling a plumber. Since the last one was slightly crazy.
But it looks like I'll have to call one anyway.

Is anyone reading of shrift's toilety travails, and thinking of the live-action Tick episode where he has an epic battle with one?

Well, I am now.
