<blockquote><p>It takes patience and years of dedication to produce enough content for a book on grocery cart identification or abandoned grocery lists.

<p>There&#8217;s a book or a blog or both on just about everything by now.  And now Roto-Rooter has announced that they are seeking submissions for an entire book of wild and weird plumbing stories.  I don&#8217;t know if they have to be true or not, which might cut down on some of the best ones out there, but there aren&#8217;t many publishers advertising in this genre.  You can get the details and submission information  in the <a href="http://www.pr.com/press-release/145841">press release</a>.  And yes, Roto-Rooter does have a <a href="http://blog.rotorooter.com/blog/roto-rooter">blog</a>.</p>

From scout group activities to making Christmas presents ahead of time, this could be great sticky fun. And if the traditional silver isn&#8217;t quite meeting your artistic requirements, duct tape does come in colors&#8230;.</p>
