Scary

We watched The Exorcist last night, the original with Linda Blair.
I saw the movie as a teenager some… hmm… well that’s gotta be huh… yeah, almost 30 years ago. So, obviously, I didn’t really remember much. Fantastic movie. Much funnier than I remembered as a teen.
To get into the spooky spirit my Halloween-lovin’ wife turned off all the lights and lit candles. Although at our age – rather than making it spooky, we were falling asleep during the exorcism.
After the movie we were tidying up the kitchen before going up to bed, and heard the toilet flush upstairs. We were the only ones home.
OOoooooOOOooOoooooOOoOOooo
The really scary part is that we have known about this for weeks, and have yet to go to the hardware store to buy the parts to fix it. Yeah, you got it – it’s just the flap is not sealing tightly anymore causing a small, slow leak which eventually lets the float ball drop triggering the valve to open and refill the tank. Boo.
We did consider filling a vial with toilet water, standing around the demon possessed tank and chanting “The power of Plumbing compels you. The power of Plumbing compels you.”
