# a shitload of boiling water down the toilet
will do the trick

# i remember i had a blocked sink once
the plunger was doing nothing, so in a last-ditch effort to dodge the horror of removing pipes, i poured half a bottle of bleach down it. slowly it drained, slowly slowly. no sign of it doing anything at all helpful. i left it for five minuets (yes, minuets) and when i returned it had all drained. "ok," i thought. i'll try hot water instead." boiled up a kettleful, poured it down the sink and AAAARGH CHLORINE GAS!

cue me fumbling urgently with the lock on the kitchen door, breath held and eyes itching, desperate to escape and ventilate a terrifyingly-toxic kitchen

sometimes, i'm a bloody idiot

# be REALLY careful if you do that... the toilet bowl can crack if you try it.
and that isn't a funny thing to happen.

# a plastic toilet?
that's a potty idea

# Caustic soda might work?
It could render the scat fats into soap and slide through freely, or make it smell worse.

# I always use caustic soda for unblockerationisms
and it always works with sinks.
According to the instructions, you have to first put in the caustic soda and then add water.
Seeing that there is water in the loo all the time, I think this water might have to be removed first.

# Nah, you'll just have to throw more of it in there.
It's got to be full to flow to the log jam. Maybe add a pile of NaOH then stir and add more water to make it go down.
I like this big communal effort, any less amusing a job and it'd be all www.whatareweyourbitchesofsomesort.eh?
