life in the sewer

Continuing a longstanding tradition, we have called the plumber once again to clear our sewer line. For reasons that remain unclear, this line keeps clogging and sewage backs up into our laundry tubs in the basement. We have dealt with this every year since we moved into the house, making this the first summer where it has become a problem.
 
Quite frankly, I'm sick of this crap. We've tried organic techniques, like waste-eating bacteria; we've tried mechanical techniques, like using a rubber bladder attached to the hose to give the sewer an enema and blast everything loose.
 
Nothing works.
 
I was going to fill this entry with tons of synonyms for the brown stuff, but I don't feel like it. I'm sick of this shit.
