Biomassive Freakout

Posted by RaJ on November 17th, 2006

Had our septic tank serviced the other day. We weren’t home so we didn’t know how things went until we read this report.

I realize this is one of those “picture says it all” situations, but - monster loaf?! What does that even mean?

Flushing one yeast packet per month - was that a bad thing?* Or maybe it’s a technical term. Did he have like, a gauge on the back of his truck? A Loaf-O-Meter, calibrated in… gallons? Tons? Bricks?† And where does monster appear on the scale? Is it higher or lower than ginormous?

Should the Radioactive Family be embarrassed? Proud? Frightened? I do not know the answers, but this much I do know: we laughed our loaf-generators off when we saw this report. Sharing it with you was almost the least we could do.

Finally, “thanks” to each and every one of you for making the inaugural Radioactive 400 (blog posts) such a fun ride; I’m having a great time, and hope the same holds true for you. See you around the ’sphere, folks!

P.S. If the term ‘loaf’ used in this context befuddles you, this signage created by blog feiend Archshrk might shed some light.

* yeast, bread, loaf… get it? I thought you would.
† Sorry. I probably shouldn’t have said that.

    happy 400th, jam!

    what’s the deal with peoples’ systems getting blocked lately? jon’s got clogs, you’ve got “monster” loaves. maybe i should check to see if my garbage disposal is backed up. geez.

  2. archshrk Says:

    I’ve been thinking about this and it occurred to me maybe “Bob” didn’t find a monster loaf but left one instead (at no extra charge, of course)

  3. Caspian Says:

    Makes me wonder what kind of loaves are lurking in *our* septic tank. Me, I tend to peak at “massive”, but who knows what lurks therein?

  4. Rhonda Says:

    LOL…that is the funniest thing I have seen all week.

    Maybe he wasn’t refering to a loaf, but rather to loafing. Did he take a monster nap in your septic tank?

  5. jedimacfan Says:

    Somewhere in Texas, there’s a NASCAR lovin’ hillbilly thinking, “Oh, yea? You should see the loaf in my tank…

    (Why is everything in Texas supposed to be bigger, anyway?)

  6. Chris Says:

    Monster loaf. I lol’d quite heartily.

    Hopefully the septic guys did the right thing and released it back into the wild, not sure how well a monster loaf would survive in captivity.

  7. RaJ Says:

    Cadiz12 - thanks! And let’s hope your disposal’s problem - if any - doesn’t involve a loaf of any size.

    Archshrk - “thinking about this?” Dude. This is the kind of thing you’re supposed to put out of your mind, not into it. Stop thinking and flush already. ;-)

    Caspian - some things are better left unknown. I could have lived without the ‘monster loaf’ commentary, even though it did “fertilize” a post.

    Rhonda - I can’t take this in any context other than the most obvious and believe me, I’ve tried.

    JediMacFan - sad to think how competitive we’ve become, comparing loaf sizes, talking all kinds of sh– …erm. Never mind.

    Chris - I agree; I gave them your address. No need to thank me.

    Thank you for sharing that. It’s been a while since I had an uncontrollable laugh session. The people in my (previously very quiet) office are once again concerned for my sanity. Yay.

  9. ~Sheryl (crap-o-rama) Says:

    Holy crap*, I am rolling over here. Very, very funny. This post is definitely getting a mention in the R reviews. They should be up in the next few days, so be sure and stop by.

    I love the illustration, the backwards hat on the stick guy… hilarious!

    *crap… get it? I thought you would.

  10. Julie Says:

    You have rendered me utterly speechless — plus I’m laughing so hard it’s difficult to type. You are a comic genius and master of potty humor.

  11. anaglyph Says:

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

    Tears in my eyes from laughing.

  12. The Platypus Society » I’ve heard of Monster Mash, Monster House, and Monster’s Ball, but this is ridiculous Says:

    […] Monster Loaf? […]

  13. KaraMia Says:

    Oh that’s freakin hilarious!

  14. RaJ Says:

    Ms Cartier - let this be a lesson to them.

    Sheryl - thanks :-) I’ll be there.

    Julie - that’s how I get every time I think about it. Still.

    Anaglyph - really hits the spot, yes?

    KaraMia - it’s crazy I know; separate those two words into any other context = nothing, but here… yeah.

  15. Sara Says:

    This made me snicker like a third grader.

  16. elasticwaistbandlady Says:

    Monster loaf, a byproduct of excessive meatloaf consumption?

    It could have been worse. The bill could have stated “Monster Loaf With Corn.”

  17. RaJ Says:

    Sara - that’s good though right? Also, ’snicker’ made *me* think of Baby Ruth, and… yeah.

    Elasticwaistbandlady - now you are making me gag. And I was going to have meatloaf for lunch. No corn, though.

  18. Rhi Says:

    I am VERY upset that I did not get a similar report card when our sewer was worked on in August. Now I am beginning to wonder what I paid them for? Peeping in my windows?

  19. R is for review « crap-o-rama Says:

    […] Radioactive Jam’s post on Biomassive Freakout had me rolling on the floor. Click on the “Wayback” tab while you are there, very cool archive setup. He is definitely going in my blogroll. […]

  20. S-RaD Says:

    Late for what must be this office’s equivalent of a christmas party. I’m ashamed for myself.

    Happy 400th Jam! This was wonderfully funny, and it deserves nothing less than a straight out compliment. Love the little blue guy with his backward cap on, and the fact that the company’s name is Roto-Rooter. That amuses me.

    Lookin’ forward to the next freak out!

  21. Omar Says:

    Happy 400th!

    I don’t know whether to offer my condolences or to give you a high five regarding your loaf. (The funniest part for me is the “title” attribute on that loaf-o-meter picture.)

  22. Steph Says:

    I think it’s only natural you’d have “monster loaf” considering you’re a radioactive family; I’d love to meet your pets in that case…

  23. RaJ Says:

    Rhi - it takes special training to gauge these things. Seems we were lucky and got one of the better techs.

    SRaD - thanks! Sometimes things just come together, y’know?

    Omar - high-five is fine by me. And thanks for noticing the “little things.”

    Steph - hello! Yes it does make a strange kind of sense, but - meet the pets? Erm. You might want to skim through the monkeys category first… ;-)
