I tend to get selected for supposedly random things like UAs and extra security screening.
For future reference, just in case you are about to be screened by a good looking TSA agent, use this line -

ICE, ICE, BABY!!
Seriously, it sounds like the water in the trap of the toilet froze, expanded, and blew out the side of the trap. Was the heat off during the winter?
Who?

I'm such a naughty treant -
So, I informed them that I would give HR a heads up since that type of behavior can't be tolerated. And I would look for an alternate spot.
Boy, they didn't want me to contact HR. (Which I did already.) Sounds like their cover story may have been slightly exaggerated... Smelled that a mile away.

Well, I'm not on Facebook. I've just been busy doing stuff around the house. Lots of errands to do today. Since my family has this really annoying habit of wanting food to eat. Every day too! ;P

Not cool.Dude, you have the WORST luck. >_<
Don't you think the guy who had the heart attack had worse luck than Shiny?

It is gorgeous perfect weather outside. I hate it. Every time I set foot outside I start sneezing. And everyone want to be outside all the time, kidlet included so I know I'll have to sit out for a good long time after I pick him up from school. I need a bubble. That way I can enjoy the outdoors without interacting with it. ;)

Remember you are in the FAWTL thread, so we have to go there. It's in our charter.
One to treat the outside and one to treat the inside. This follows the sound principle: The whole man is sick; the whole man must be treated.

So, there was a thing, and it fell through, but we're going with a backup plan (superior to the original plan, IMO).
Long story short, Freehold (and other long-time FaWTLies who *ahem* don't use Facebook) please contact me.
Newcomers to FaWTL, we love you, and hope to get you involved in next year's festivities. :D

*sigh* If my suspicions are correct and I contracted this foul illness on my way back from my brother's wedding, the incubation period is about three days. :(

Did you call your local municipality to see if they were doing any sewer work in your area? Sometimes that can cause build up of pressure (gas and/or liquids) while they're working.
Is it just a clean hole in the bowl wall or are there cracks leading away to the floor? Sometimes the bolts that bolt the toilet to the sewer pipe flange in the floor are overtightened by the last person to work on/install it. That can cause stress cracks that give out when too much water pressure hits it or the toilet shifts under any significant weight.
(I am/was never a plumber, but I used to do some rehab work eons ago.)
We figured it out. RotoRooter owes the landlord a new toilet. They were snaking the neighbor's toilet and came up into ours and blew out the side of the tank!
He's talking with them now about them paying for a new toilet, but hopefully we won't have to flip the bill either way. :)
New store looks great too. We keep meaning to put up pictures, but we can't find the attachment that adapts it for the computer. :\
