- call roto rooter if you have one there. Sounds like it's really locked up. -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 17:58
- plungers are good to clear clogs of organic material in the throat of the toilet, at the j bend, but if you snaked further then you are meeting t join - zeitgeist Oct 28, 17:41
- Ok... get a hanger and shove it into the u-bend and see if anything comes up... - Stephen Oct 28, 17:13 2
  - yah, liquid clearers aren't a good idea for toilets.-- nm - b.oo! Oct 28, 17:22
  - Well, the snake is stuck in the toilet, so I can't shove anything else up there. :) -- nm - kelly Oct 28, 17:21
- I want to be a smartass, but I understand the gravity of the situation - in my case, I would call the plumber. I am not handy at all. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 17:03 8
  - i hope they have a second bathroom. i only have one; and that's grave, indeed. -- nm - b.oo! Oct 28, 17:06 6
    - Yeah, we do. - kelly Oct 28, 17:11 5
      - Can you push it in further - twist - and then pull it out? Seriously, it's most likely stuck in the bend. -- (link) - JaxSean Oct 28, 17:14 [Image] 4
        
        It won't push in, either. I cannot move it at *all*. - kelly Oct 28, 17:35 1
        
        sorry :/ it may be either tightly corkscrewed or stuck on roots or something. take a break and go back to it later. - b.oo! Oct 28, 17:42
        
        yah, pulling may be making it tighter. try pushing and wiggling. really, you have to try everything. - b.oo! Oct 28, 17:18
        
        this is my thought -- nm - dogbert183 Oct 28, 17:17
  - (my smartass answer, that you can unwrap at a later date once the situation is resolved) - Beryllium Oct 28, 17:04
- call (dare i say it) the plumber - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 28, 17:02
- I'm not a plumber, but I don't *think* there's anything for the snake to get "stuck" on, so you may just need to keep twisting and pulling. - JaxSean Oct 28, 17:02 3
  - I've never used a snake either. you just need to get a really good seal with the plunger. (joke inside) - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 28, 17:03 1
    - This is Will "I can eat 3 Big Macs" Hunting's toilet...there may very well be a brick. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 28, 17:06
  - (meaning it's probably stuck in the bend) -- nm - JaxSean Oct 28, 17:03
- I have no idea - is there a neighbor? good luck. -- nm - Epiphany Oct 28, 17:02
- it may have gotten twisted into itself in a bend. try rotating it and gently tugging as you go. - b.oo! Oct 28, 17:01 4
  - ooh ooh! A ... dead animal? -- nm - JaxSean Oct 28, 17:02 1
    - no. but congratulations, you found something that would have been worse. -- nm - b.oo! Oct 28, 17:04
  - I just went to Walmart and bought rubber gloves because I was afraid this was going to be the only option. :) - kelly Oct 28, 17:01 1
    - If that option doesn't work. First try with bare hands, icky I know, but you can feel what's going on better. - the liioulu with stuff Oct 28, 17:42
numberwang. hee hee. -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 28, 16:57 1

Windows 7 screenshots. -- (link) - Mop Oct 28, 16:53 3

- Looks like a Mac. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 28, 16:57
- i think i'll call it "bond" -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 28, 16:56
Capitalism is what started (and enlongated, at the behest of the President) the Great Depression. Socialism is what fixed it. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 16:46 33
- Better brush up on your history there Bery if you think that's the case. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 28, 16:49 32
  - [deleted]
  - Hoover has been accused of protracting the issue because of a reluctance to interfere in the deregulated markets. Bush tried the opposite tack, and - Beryllium Oct 28, 16:56 1
    - Going to war isn't really an option. ;) - the liioulu with stuff Oct 28, 17:45
  - Look, I'm not trying to say all social programs and such are wrong. I'm just saying that true socialism hasn't been done effectively anywhere. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 28, 16:50 26
    - And Communism also does not equal Socialism. - the liioulu with stuff Oct 28, 16:52 3
      - And I've never once said the C-word in this discussion, so your point? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 28, 16:52 2
        
        NO but it is how it's being used in the campaign down here. - the liioulu with stuff Oct 28, 17:33
        
        you say capitalism all the time here !!! -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 28, 16:57
    - true socialisem does not work on a country wide basis - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 28, 16:52 16
      - Then once again I say, "It has never worked properly, likely never will, and possibly goes against human nature." -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 28, 16:54 15
        
        how does human nature become an argument AGAINST humanistic behaviour is beyound me - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 28, 17:00 7
        
        At the end of the day, most humans aren't as altruistic as socialism requires. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 28, 17:01 6
        
        Why do you think socialism requires altruism? - Sexy Mofo Oct 28, 17:10
        
        socialised aims to educate people (us) to be better people - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 28, 17:03 4
        
        Yeah, that's the difference between you and I then. I see a system that has raised prosperity, extended life spans and achieved wonderous things.... - Name Withheld By Request Oct 28, 17:06 3
        
        You mean public schools, public health and taxation to support those things? - the liioulu with stuff Oct 28, 17:37
        
        I think that's sematic crap. US Capitalism has never been truly unfettered free markets. - Sexy Mofo Oct 28, 17:16
        
        heh ... thoose achiments came here from (mostly) social democrats, the unions and the workers moments - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 28, 17:13
        
        But the same goes for pure capitalism, pure anything - Guigue Oct 28, 16:57 6
        
        Ayn Rand would agree with your point, so I'll switch mine to something a little more engaging: "Most countries that are offered up as successful... - Name Withheld By Request Oct 28, 16:59 5
        
        define prosper i think they have a different view in Island of that argument now! -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 28, 17:04
        
        Ditto for countries that have been held up as purest examples of Capitalism. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 17:00 3
        
        (inverting the capitalist direction to socialist, of course) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 17:00 2
        
        Got an example? (If you use the US and the Depression you lose, because it's just not the case.) ;-) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 28, 17:02 1
        
        Cancel that request. We'll pick it up another time (but you're wrong). I just realized the time and I have showering and shaving to do. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 28, 17:03
    - And neither Obama, nor Bush, nor McCain, are ever going to turn America into a purely socialist country. So the ads saying so just need to fuck off. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 16:51 4
      - I never claimed he was going to. Hell, were I an American next week, I'd be voting Obama as well (though holding my nose to do so). I responded to: - Name Withheld By Request Oct 28, 16:54 3
        
        The reason the word is being thrown around is because people are accusing the Democrats of a conspiracy to socialize the entire country. - Beryllium Oct 28, 16:55 2
        
        I was being glib to Mop's post. The rest has only been for fun. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 28, 16:56 1
        
        Well, ditto, as you can see from my *riposte* below ... heh ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 16:57
  - So was the WPA and related entities. -- nm - the liioulu with stuff Oct 28, 16:50
  - *points out that the military-industrial complex is a socialist mechanism* -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 16:50
nuh-uh. -- nm - b.oo! Oct 28, 16:44
No. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 28, 16:42
