I use a bidet and that cuts down on TP usage, but sometimes you get a big ol' honker of a log ploppin' out and that sucker just says, "Not today." That's when the trusty turd wrangler is your best friend.
One time I was at my mother-in-laws and clogged that some bitch. I couldn't find a plunger. Turns out my sister-in-law took it when she went away to college, because she was too scared to buy one. I tried to text my wife, but I had no service. So I left it there and went and told my wife. My mother-in-law took a golf cart to the neighbor's house and explained the situation and they let her borrow theirs. Meanwhile, I'm fucking mortified that the neighbors now think I have fiber intake issues.
Always keep a plunger in a bathroom with a toilet.
Bidet is the way.
There's a lot of intriguing family history in your story. SIL scared to buy a plunger. MIL took a golf cart. Interesting group.
Bro, that ain't the half of it. My father-in-law built an entire western town in his backyard and when he was done he built a Jurassic Park with dinosaurs essentially made of trash. Here is a shitty picture of the saloon with a bar in it. I'll see if I can find some of the dinosaur pics too.
Yes PLEASE!
Sounds like you married right.
The signs and storefronts are amazing.
I see the inside of the saloon, is the general store a whole room are just the storefront?
that is amazing, give him my maddest of props.
Here's a video of Western World. https://youtu.be/ug2U5PUSwA4
Here's another one of his annual go cart track. https://youtu.be/E5ljFgmQ0MQ
I'll have to find the Jurassic Park videos.
his annual go-kart track...I knew I wanted land when I eventually buy a house, but I wasn't sure what I wanted it for.
now I have a lot of valuable inspiration.
please pass on my sincere congratulations and respect, Western World and the go-karts are awesome.
And yes, I'm ready to see the trash dinosaurs.
Yeah just casually dropping in there that his dad sets up a go-cart track for the family get-together in the garden, sure.
Im appreciative he did, i need to know eccentric wackadoos that build scrap dinos and saloons are around.
I'm bored as shit at work.
I found them. There was a zip line through this area too.
Oh man!
I didn't realize they were fully fleshed out dinosaurs!
they look great!
I actually saw some scrap dinosaurs in Arizona, but they're still metal and skeleton, no skin or color on them.
wow and the skin is even pebbled. that is so cool.
thank you for getting back to me and sharing those pictures. wow! those are huge dinos too
Glad you enjoyed. Lol
Damn that's some impressive stuff! :o
I love this so fucking much. Eccentric people are the best.
Also somebody please invite this old dude to play D&D
He would very much rather smoke cigarettes and drink Bud Light in the yard.
He can do all that but not have a toilet that gets clogged so frequently his daughter is stealing plungers out of anxiety?
I'm not even joking, they got divorced last week.
I'd love to read more of these stories, if you have time to share them. Maybe !casualconversation@lemm.ee?
Ok, I'll join.
damn that's cool
That's what the poop knife is for.
I try to get out… BUT THEY KEEP PULLING ME BACK IN!
Proclaim the Gospel of W. C. Jesus!
Thanks for this story. I read it while taking a shit
This guy poop knifes
How you sound right now.
Say that to my face. I fuggin' dare you, dude.
Doesn't surprise me that I'm talking to a literal mongoloid Neanderthal whose two neurons only have one function and that's to bash against each other.
