  1. Well.......Rock.

     

    How'd you get it out ?

     

    :D

    Gorsh, that sounds really personal, Harriet! :P

     

    OK, I never flushed it (I knew that would not work). I was able to bend a coat hanger and hook the ball. I know it is boring when compared to sucking it out with a straw, but life is often mundane. :lol:

    Better remember the alphabet backwards - zyxwvutsr....... :w00t:

     

    Seriously, they could really f-up the traffic after the game. I wonder what routes are tarketed.

    Ramps to expressways are especially targeted by DUI check points here in Rochester. I am more concerned with people having a designated driver than I am with delays. Post game traffic is tricky enough. I would not be surprised to see police asking cars to pull over to the side at Thruway booths, too, just by looking at the driver and the passengers!

     

    stevestojan I can't say the alphabet backwards when I am sober!

     

    Just remember, driver must be sober...no open containers.

     

    I do not see a problem.

     

    Best answer to "How many have you had?" is "None, I am the designated driver, but all these other folks are smashed!" :flirt:

  3. I really think it's awesome when this is the most popular thread of the day. That's why this place rocks!

     

    This one is classic, and needs to be archived. SDS ... can you pin this one to the top for a while?

    See what happens on a slow news day? And here I thought that talk about whether or not GW really served a full stint in the reserve would be on everyone's mind! I would be in a real stevestojantty mood if that tennis ball suppository was still in place. :flirt:

  4. how far down is the tennis ball? is it visible?

     

    by the way... your toilet must not be of the highest quality. Im pretty sure I've crapped out something bigger than a tennis ball in my day, and the toilet had no problem with it.

    Ah, but I was hesitant to flush.....last resort before popping the porcelain. :flirt:

  5. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone either tomorrow at Nick Tahou's, Saturday night at Danny's, Sunday at the tailgate/game, or all of the above.

     

    I want to take a moment to reflect upon what happened to me 17 years ago  today.  I was in college at Shippensburg University at the school-sponsored non alcoholic 'dance club' they held at the student union.  This cute little girl came over to ask me to dance (as my friend and I were proceeding to head to a party that had alcohol!).  I asked her if she was sure if she wanted to dance with me.  She said yes.  So, we danced together that night and made plans to see each other the next week (dance was held every Wednesday night).  So began the 17 year journey that has been my life with Psycho Ward 86.  Thanks for the dance, honey.  Only 9 more days until our 5th wedding anniversary, which also is 17 years from when we began dating.  I can't wait!

    See you at 'all of the above'.

     

    Happy Anniversary!!!!!

  6. In all seriousness, isnt there any way you could "stab" the tennis ball with something sharp and pull it out...

     

    the perfect tool would be a spear of some sort... ya know, it would go in, but hold enough resistance against the inside of the ball when you started pulling it back out...

     

    think along those lines.

    Close, but NOPE! :flirt:

  7. And one day when you have about $450 sitting around. Instal one of those special pump things that stop this from happening when you have a below ground toilet. I had one when I lived in Grand Island because they have a high water table (whatever that means).

    Oooooh, they have a love canal there too! :flirt:

  8. Any guesses on how I got the tennis ball out?

     

    C'mon you wise asses! Yer so DAMN smart! :I starred in Brokeback Mountain:

     

    Hint, the shop vac didn't work, heh. :pirate:

     

    The straw didn't work, Hey, I eat Garbage Plates, I can suck out a toilet if I have to. :)

     

    Couldn't find the kanudle valve (bend over you plumbing impaired bastids). :w00t:

     

    Oh, by the way, my first house HAD an outside stevestojaner! You could tell when spring was near when the only pages left in the Sears catalog were the shiny ones. :)

  9. If I'm understanding him right, his issue is water RETURNING through the floor from backpressure due to rain and his toilet being below ground level.  Not from the supply side.

    Thank you Darin. None of these maroons in the lower 49 were getting that part right.

     

    :pirate:

  10. Okay let me ask again.  Am I to understand you took a tennis ball, crammed into the commode area on the toilet, jamming it in the hole, hoping that it would stop your flooding.  WTF.  Why would you do that?  I would not admit that on a public board.

    23919[/snapback]

     

    Would you admit it in private? :pirate:

  11. Rock:  Are you talking about a basement toilet? Does it have that underground pump? Do have city sewer or a septic system?

    23754[/snapback]

     

    Damn, but you ask a lot of intelligent questions for a girl! I bet you like football too! :w00t:

     

    Basement toilet.

    No pump.

    City Sewer.

     

    Problem is we got so much rain that the storm sewers could not handle the volume of water. When this happens, the storm sewer spills over into the sanitary sewer. When that gets overloaded, water backs up from the street to the house.. you get the picture. :)

     

    Corked the stationary tub so I did not get sewage coming up there. A neighbor suggested I cork my toilet with a tennis ball (it worked in their toilet) to stop it from backing up.

     

    When I did that, my toilet ate the tennis ball. :pirate:

     

    I solved my problem, but I want to read some more comments before I give you the Final Jeopardy answer. :)

  12. Umm Schobel is overrated. Plain and simple. He's an average player at best. His sacks are due more to solid coverage than anything else. He's a good player, no doubt.  A $28 million player?  No way.  For my money, I'd rather extend Pat Williams who while older, still wreaks havock in the middle of that defensive line.

    22280[/snapback]

     

    Schobel is already what, 3rd or 4th in team history in sacks? Add to this that he has been playing WITHOUT a force at DE on the other side!

     

    Not taking away from Pat Williams, but I do not understand this at all. :doh:

  13. Me, I've already met so many of the people from this board, yet I know there's a ton of others I still have to meet.  I'll be looking forward to seeing those I know and have already met and I'm really looking forward to finally meeting some of the people I interact with here so often, like Thailog80 and ICE.  This is going to be a great weekend, and it's going to start (at least, for me it is) in about an hour, when my vacation begins!!  See you soon!

    I am afraid to make a list. I KNOW I would leave someone out. ;)

     

    I will have a ball with my old friends, and hope to make a lot of new ones. I have yet to be disappointed! ;)

  14. I wish someone would steal my fat.  No smokes for two months=10 extra lbs.

    21609[/snapback]

     

    I have walked in your shoes. Quit smoking over 8 years ago and after an initial gain, I now weigh 10 pounds less than when I graduated high school!

     

    I enjoy an occasional cigar (5 or 6 a year - usually at the Ralph) but that is not really "smoking". I used to smoke 1-2 packs a day for 25+ years.

     

    Two months is great - keep it up! ;)
