RIP Mr. Drain Snake

Apr 13, 2007 15:57

Today, I needed to go to Homo Depot. I stopped on my way back from Charm City. I was wearing a rugby shirt, sneakers and plaid pj pants. So what? You wanna make something of it?

I didn't think so...

I ran into this leatherguy I used to work with and then ran into one of the ex's minions. Oh what joy to be dressed like this and seeing those folks. ( Read more... )

Dude, I tell ya it sucked. I have done some nasty jobs with home repair...but anything plumbing, has got to be the worst.

I had been growing my hair out all hippie/rock star/emo boy like, but maybe I will go shave it tonight...just to not contribute to the nasty in the communal drains!

When will you be here? I am so excited for you to arrive, we all have lots of catching up to do.

*giggling hysterically*

So, um, want to come seduce the persistent clog out of my bathtub drain?

*ducking*

Now, honestly, C? You really wanna go there?

I could come up there and do it for you...but wouldn't you gain a greater sense of satisfaction from doing that yourself? No, you say?

Well, just saying in exchange for my coming up there and rooting out your drain...I may just make ya clean the end of my snake off!

Smartypants!

Actually, I tried. I unscrewed the little strainer doohickey from the drain and then discovered that the drain itself had little cross-bars in it that made it completely impossible to get the snake into the drain. I didn't have the faintest idea what to do with that. I tried a little plastic hair-hooker thingy from Homo Depot, but it wasn't long enough to do any good. After that, I gave up.

I cut up dead things for a living. You'd be amazed at my capacity for coping with the gross factor. I started to elaborate, but then decided that that really wasn't fair and deleted the specifics.

So, to watch a cute butch laboring over my stubborn tub drain, sweaty and stinky and maybe accidentally flashing some skin? Sure, I'll clean off the end of the snake.

Dirty! preppyperv April 13 2007, 21:06:50 UTC
I had those little crosshairs too...until I punched them out! Otherwise that dang ball and snake would still be down my drain.

I could promise you some good stink and a lot of the plumber butt, if that works, I am in!

On a serious note, you need a snake with a small head on it. The one that looks like the little corkscrew, then literally screw in through one of the little openings. Then just keep pushing, it is a pain in the butt! I know why the plumber was so much now...geesh! That is hard work. The snake will find its way though. When you meet resistance, screw it around with the handle, then keep pushing.

Um, Mister, I much prefer the building of Ikea bookshelves instead.

Ok?

Ok thank you.

P.S. - I demand a response to my texty-wexty!!! <3, ginger peach

I know you do, Ginger. preppyperv April 13 2007, 21:10:37 UTC
I promise that I will not ask you to do dirty things...ever!

Although, I did just get my new cd/dvd binders, leather no less, and I have all these cds to organize and stuff. I was wondering if you knew anyone who liked to organize? Maybe someone with a Pearl that could copy all those said cds?

I will respond...I was up in the air on the evening.

Gawd, do you even need to ask?!

Organizing and IKEA! You sure do know how to turn a girl on, Mr. Perv.

I just love that icon...is that a tiny manthong you are knitting for me? You know next Saturday is my birthday! Just saying.

I will call you in a bit, to figure stuff out.

I am such a tease, huh? I just got two boxes of cds from G today. I have all my stuff and figure some Ledo's and pay-per-view while we all sit around my living room, alphabetizing and sorting, would be hawt.

Whoopsie! preppyperv April 13 2007, 21:02:05 UTC
I flooded my old apartment by trying to flush a litter pan full of the scoopable, aka clumping, cat litter. What a mess. It was like a brick of concrete in the toilet. I learned that the hard way. I spent Christmas morning praying it didn't get to the apartment below, as I mopped up all the water...since I believe I probably flushed a few times thinking that would fix it.

Excellent on the July front. I will be around for most of the summer. No more travel for work at the new job.

Well hell ...

I got me a snake a couple weeks ago and had one hell of a time making it work. I couldn't get the sucker down the drain. But I didn't spend an hour trying.

I need YOU!!!!!

It's aweful pretty down here this time of year ;)

But I DID cut wood and fix my flower box today ...

I'm sure that means something but I'm not sure what.

I think it means that you are right suited for that country living, my dear. I miss splitting wood, when I did that I used to have good arms and shoulders, but um, well that has been a long while.

I am jealous you get to have a yard...mine is evergreen astroturf! But I got some herbs coming back.
