Ohio Rodents Emerging From Commodes


Okay, the clip is called "Sewer rats terrorizing Akron toilets." Do I really have to give you any more? I do not. But I will say that the way the reporter intones the words "the toilet" at the :53 second mark takes this thing to a whole other level. It is no longer just a story about sewer rats terrorizing the toilets of Akron; it is now a struggle for existence against the toilets themselves. Those toilets are evil. EVIL. Or at least they are the way this guy makes it sound. I think from now on when I leave a room I'm going to say, "You'll have to excuse me. I'm going to… the toilet." Gotta be good for a couple of laughs, right?

I went back to Ohio, and my shitty was gone.

That was a real Cleveland screamer.

I had a tiny green frog come up out of my terlet once and I almost had a heart attack. With limited arms available in the bathroom, I sprayed hairspray at it and when it jumped into the water I slammed the lid and flushed it.

NO!!! Terlet frogs are good luck!

Except the kind that sing "Hello My Baby, Hello My Honey".

I got a nice ad for a clean looking and handsome team of plumbers in San Jose.

#AKRON before #CLEVELAND?

Clearly, this is LeBron's doing. Evidence: he's been making a list of all of the people who have spoken ill of him. LISTS have CONSEQUENCES!

A mouse came out of my bathtub drain once. I turned on the tap and drowned it.

I don't buy this story unless someone actually saw the rat leap from the toilet.

Um … is anyone else wondering where she poops?

At the end it says she has another bathroom upstairs. What I want to know is… how can she be sure they won't just find a way to climb the extra storey?

He makes it sound both sinister and exciting.

"I am going on a vacation cruise to . . ."

"According to highly-placed government sources, Islamic militants have infiltrated. . ."

"Your 2011 Miss America is. . ."

"It wasn't even hissing. It was just a wheezy bark."

KarenUhOh (#19)

That's why the rat thought he should go up there.

Did you poison the laundress for her shoddy work and overall ineptitude?

I can think of one animal you won't see coming out of a toilet.

A bear.

Rats must be visiting from St. Paul.
