I haven't had the runs lately. However, the toilet in my new domicile has a very narrow "throat" (or whatever you might call it.) Within the past couple of months that I have lived there, I have produced sufficient quantity of stool as to completely clog it on at least three occasions.

No, Marty, you're not just full of s*** . You need the equivalent of a Thor or Miraphone's new Siegfried tuba, as opposed to a student model. Look for a new porcelain convenience that can flush at least 650 grams each time. Some of the better ones will flush 1000.
Yes, believe it or not, they actually do rate these things by how many grams they will flush. Go here to see how they are tested- and remember the "bulk waste media" they use is not "the real thing".

Back in the days when I hustled automation machinery... I worked with a company in Providence, Kentucky called Hoover Universal that was later owned by Moen and eventually closed and moved overseas. They manufactured toiled flush valves. They would test their valves on various commode designs. One design that really fascinated me was referred to as the 'turd blaster'. This thing would flush a bowl full of golf balls!

When I moved into the joint I presently reside in here in Sin City, the guest bathroom came equiped with a toilet that flushed with air, not water. There is a big ol tank inside of the tank that compresses air when you flush. That sucker will flush just about anything that happens to be in the bowl (yes, even a golf ball, but that was on an alchohol induced dare). A much needed appliance in this house.
The media needs an 'overhaul'. Since when do Winter storms need names? In our local area... 3" of snow has become a 'blizzard'. Duh!

That same storm, "Euclid" dumped a foot on central Arkansas, a real blizzard for them. I do agree that the media does things exclusively for their own reasons and benefit though, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.
I investigated a crash involving a delivery truck one time. When asked why I hand't posted a guard on it, I simply showed the sergeant the cargo: Cases and cases and cases of Fleet enemas. Yay. No need for a guard on that one. The beer truck, on the other hand...
Today I start my "finishing my basement" project that I promised my wife 8 years ago when we bought this house with the unfinished basement. I fear I have run out of excuses. You have been updated.

This is the first Winter with the metal roof AND snow. Gotta watch where you walk around here!

The Christmas tree is down and put away for another year. The house is quiet. Nap time!
