being poor

my showerhead broke so i've been showering with just the
pipe sticking out of the wall. man that is not fun at all. I
am pretty sure it's something like 242,000 gallons a second.
The water gets cold in about 2 minutes and it hurts like
fuck.

my advice is to not try it.

want one ?

serious? email me if you want my physical address that'd be
great. the threads on the pipe are torn and fucked so i
doubt it'd work but it might be worth a try

I can send you a tube of plumber's friend sealant. Fucking
stuff cures as hard as aluminum in a few hours.

I mean, assuming that someone has a shower head. I think I
have an old shower massage thing with a long flexible hose
but that would probably cost more to ship than a new shower
head.

How about we take up a collection and get cygnus a shower
head from here? They are pretty cheap.

Interbath All Directional Showerhead is only 16.99 and can
point in all directions just in case gravity fails.

I guess he wants to "keep it real" so that his hip-hop album
doesn't flop.

Great record...

But it's quite alright - some people do confuse that phrase
with the shithole I live in, called the US... but good to
know you're up on things. Seems the only people in the world
that AREN'T are the Americans ourselves... =/

this calls for some creativity,

you can try and get a piece of gardenhose, a short piece,
get that on or in the pipe sticking out of the wall, if
you're lucky it's about the same size, so it takes only some
squeezing but you'll know it's going to stay there. Next get
a funnel and stick the long end into the other end of the
gardenhose, mostly they're the same girth so some squeezing
will do the trick again. Get a flat simple cheesegrater, and
if you want cut it to a round-ish size, as long as it covers
the whole wide opening of the funnel, and screw or paste it
on there with some good strong glue of some sort (it needs
to take a stream of water). The grater should not have large
holes, and the wider the holes are parted from eachother,
the better. Turn on the water and enjoy your homebrew
showerhead.

And don't forget to take pictures and show me, because i
have absolutely no idea wether this works or not, but it's
just a mindbubble to try to help you because i take this
thread so seriously.

out the back end a bit cause the fit is fucked, but its the
most futuristic thing i have ever seen otherwise man this
thing will massage you
