The Saddest Drain Ever

Friday, October 14th, 2005

Our bathroom sink has the saddest drain ever. It cries and then my soul cries. It sounds like Chewbacca but without the growl part. Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuw, and then it peters out. We've dumped like three gallons of Drano down it, nothing doing. Looks like I'll need to get invasive on it. ...
