WE'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER CAN OF AIR FRESHENER

Toilets, bathtubs, and sinks in two southeast Houston houses became fecal fountains Thursday afternoon when a City of Houston Public Works employee tried to clear a clogged sewer line and sent the sewage, at high pressure, in entirely the wrong direction.

(Thanks to Unholy Slacker, who saw the Fecal Fountains open for The Germs.)

This might be a good time to have a low-flow reverse toilet.

[Hammond Rye]

'Honey, you know how you've always wanted to see the fountains of Rome?'

'Are we going to Italy?'

'Not exactly...'

[funny man]

DOn't worry. They'll make it a spinoff of Fear Factor:
Stink House (reality show).

"Do you have the stamina for "Stink House"?"

[Just Some Guy]

“I don’t know what to say that it smells like,” said Nuno, choosing his words carefully. “The thing that comes out from your behind.”

Turds of Missouri?

[wiredog]

They're gonna have to burn those houses.

[Dan S.]

Turds of Velocity!

[Meanie the Blue]

Houston, we have a problem.

[Punkin]

Can you imagine being on the throne when that geyser hit?

[OC Dolphin]

What goes down must come up, then...what goes up must come down. Hand me the umbrella.

[funny man]

Houston will end up buying two houses. At least that's what I am predict.

[Steve]

Look at the good side of this.
Their houseplants are going to sweep the Home and Garden Show.

♪...'Look at me - i'm shatturd....fecal mattered.....uh-huh, im a shatturd....

[Ralph]

If the houses were built to code, they probably should have had backflow preventers to avoid this problem. If they should have and didn't, the city is not liable for the foul play.

[Wolfsong]

♫Three turds in the fountain.....

[Loudmouth]

Reminds me of this. Sorry.

[wingnut]

would Fecal Geyser BAGNFARB?

[mick jagger]

♫...i'm splattered...

[Loudmouth]

Old Assful. Wipeout. Gonna need a whole lot more Charmin.

[Meanie the Blue]

There is
A house
In Houston
They call The Rising Dung
It's been
Quite ruined
By many a poo, Boy!
Thank God,
Mine was
Not one.

Mothers,
Tell your children
Not to take
The mortgage plunge
Don't spend your life
In Turd Misery
In the House
Of the Rising Dung

[ligirl]

I feel the move-ment under my feet
I see the turds tumbling down
I feel a fart start 'a trembling
When there's manure around...

Oh, baby, what a d@mn disgrace -
Smellier than I can say!
Oh, darling, I can't stand sh!t
When will all of it go away -ay?

[Just Some Guy]

If you're going to go all Stones on this, why have you neglected "Brown Sugar"?

[nursecindy]

Good point JSG. This is slightly o/t but, if Dave posts a story on Monday about a N.C. woman who wraps a wrench around a mechanic's neck, that will be me. I am taking my car back for the seventh time on Monday to get the check engine light problem fixed. If he doesn't quit rubbing his large tummy against my backside I will wrap his tire iron around something else. Please be kind in your comments. back o/t.

[ed in texas]

OK, Ralph, but backflow preventers AREN'T code in Houston. (Lack of grade, they clog up. Welcome to flatland.)

[Just Some Guy]

NC, ring the blog bell (there is one somewhere here, right?) and we'll come a'runnin'.

[max]

Don't question why turds need to be so free
They'll tell you it's the only way to be
Turds just can't be chained
To a sewer where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost
At such a cost

There's no time to lose, I heard turds say
Catch your feces before they slip away
Flushing all the time
Move your bowels
And you will move your mind.
Ain't life unkind?

[Just Some Guy]

Just thinking about that...imagine nursecindy showing up there with a half-dozen various guys at that shop and saying "This is my blog posse. Fix my car now." It could be a first. I'm in! But we should stipulate that Dave, Judi, and the Herald are in no way involved.

[wingnut]

Quit giving him your money nursecindy. Between what I drive, the wife and 3 kids we have a used car lot going on here. We quit worrying about check engine lights a long time ago. They come on for a while, quit and then start up again. About the only time they aren't on is when they should be. I change the oil in all of them so if something serious is going on I should know.

[nursecindy]

I would love to have a blog posse, JSG! After we were done with the mechanic we could chant, "Dave Barry, who was not involved in any way with this, for president!" The only reason I keep taking it back for the check engine light is I need to get it inspected so I can renew my tag. It won't pass inspection with that light on. After I get my tag I won't care.

[OC Dolphin]

nc,

I'm guessing the car in question is Japanese. If so, the chances of it being an emission system issue are high. Could be as simple as the gas cap or some stupid sensor. I once disconnected the battery before driving up to the inspection. This worked, as it takes a couple of miles of driving to reset. Good luck.

[OC Dolphin]

-is- high

[Steve]

Meanie, you're an animal.
People talkin' bout you.
But all you can say is, "Please, don't let me be misunderstood."

[Just Some Guy]

nc, me 'n' the boys (being my sons) could use a road trip. Two of them do karate and could beat the crap out of most, including me. You name the garage and the time.
