Dish soap. Ever had to get a ring off of your finger? He could have been extracted quite simply without damaging the urn. Wipe himself down with soap, slide off the pants (ladies, don't look :cantlook:), and out he comes.
Yeah, the defect in your suggestion is that if he could get his hands into the urn to take his pants off he wouldnt be stuck in the first place...

Unless he has a prehensile dick of course, in which case you couldn't keep (most) of the ladies a way with a team of horses.

Is that how they do it in Alabama? I don't remember using an urn when I waterskiied, in my wayward youth. Looks like fun, as long as you're not in the urn when it bounces or the boat slows down. :shock:

As was said in the topic regarding Connor and His Urn Escape, many bad ideas are birthed at a New Year's Eve party. As was this one. We talked about skiing weird things for July 4, the challenge was accepted, and so far, for 25 Independence Days, an ..erm...unexpected contraption has been skied. So far, no one has been injured and the only "accident" was the time the toilet being skied broke halfway around. This being Alabama, we had an extra unused toilet available and so the day was saved.

I have some pix but I get a message the file is too big. The pics aren't great, though, because they are photos of photos that were water damaged in Hurricane Michael. The toilet was in the years before digital pix (or phone cameras, really), so I have photographed all the pix I had that had been water damaged; at least I have a digital record of shenanigans now!

Open them in Microsoft Paint, reduce the sise by 50% or more (I usually do 75% reduction) and save them as a new file. Then post that.

Thank! I have a Mac and forgot I can resize in Preview. Just prior to launch of toiletski. Poor quality due to being a photo of a water-damaged photo.

Deep-Fried toothpicks gains popularity overseas, despite safety warnings

FOX 26 Houston
28 Jan 2024

A unique trend is emerging overseas where people are deep-frying toothpicks made from sweet potatoes or cornstarch, often colored green with food coloring.

"Toothpicks" made from sweet potatoes? Probably very similar to-

I couldn't find a better place to put this, but if I missed it, please repost. This involves the stolen diary of Ashley Biden. Aimee Harris, who stole it (and then I think she tried to sell it?) is to be sentenced in NY 2/5. She lives in FL and has been ordered to be there in person. She says she has no ID so can't fly. First, she actually said the government had taken her passport, but then the government filed saying no, they never took possession of her passport.

The court told her to go get a non-drivers ID or take a bus or train but she has to be there. LOL
On February 2, Judge Swain docketed: "ORDER as to (22-Cr-457-1) Aimee Harris. The sentencing hearing in the above-captioned case will be held on Monday, February 5, 2024, at 2:30 p.m., in Courtroom 17C. Ms. Harris must appear in person. Ms. Harris is directed to do whatever is necessary, including obtaining a valid state identification card for travel by plane, or making alternative travel arrangements, to facilitate her in-person appearance at the sentencing. Ms. Harris is reminded that appearance in court as required is one of the conditions of her pretrial release and bond. SO ORDERED." Showdown...

I think it was discussed in the O’Keefe topic

Since..
“ Prosecutors said the woman, Aimee Harris, sold the diary to Project Veritas, a right-wing group, to enrich herself and hurt President Biden.”
