our basement flooded last night.
the moral of the story: anything can be fun if you go shopping for galoshes, then make commemorative t-shirts.

First try: Dump some baking soda in there, followed by some vinegar. When it's stopped foaming, flush with plenty of hot water. That'll get wimpy clogs out. Maybe hit it with a plunger at this point to encourage some action ( ... )

we did the baking soda with no luck, so we figured something burly must be down there. we tried plunging twice, as well, and the most evil black foulness from the depths of hell bubbled up, but the sink was still clogged. so i've emailed the landlord, cuz last time steve fiddled with an S-shaped thing it turned out to be a bad idea.

heh, the worst part of this is that we just moved in about a month ago, so i know the black goo is all congealed bits of the former residents. O_O

EEEEEewwww.

No, see - an important step in this process is to not think about that.
