Here is a great holiday gift for anyone’s favorite Do-it-yourselfer, handyman or anyone else who just loves a good story. ” Chilling Tales from the Porcelain Seat” is a vignette-style bathroom reader featuring the SyFy channel’s Ghost Hunters Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson. The book details tales of plumbing horrors and hilarity in an easy-to-read short story format. Nothing too gross, or too scary but certainly enough to make people of all ages chuckle.

According to a news release, “The idea behind the book stems from all the strange, funny, unexplained and simply weird experiences both the Ghost Hunters and other Roto-Rooter plumbers have witnessed over the years involving pipes, drains, sinks and toilets inside America’s homes and businesses.

“There’s a story about a Roto-Rooter man called to unclog drains at a Florida alligator farm who worked in waist-deep water while handlers kept gators at bay with prods. Another story deals with a kitchen sink drain clogged from end to end with broken glass from a full case of beer bottles that had been pushed down the garbage disposal at a party. ‘Chilling Tales’ features toilet trivia and even a chapter that tells the Ghost Hunters’ inspiring story,” the release says

There are some really great stories in this book that chronicles the funny, the weird and the just plain strange. Makes a perfect gift for almost anyone on your list and is affordable at $12.95.

Feel free to check out www.chillytales.com for purchasing information, reviews and excerpts.

AND, you can enter to win it here. Two (2) lucky readers will each win a copy of the book.
To Enter: Visit www.chillytales.com and leave me a comment telling me what your craziest Porcelain Seat tale is. Mine? It would have to be the time that my son flushed an owl figurine down the toilet. The thing is…it made this weird noise and I didn’t KNOW that was what he had done. So all I knew was that the toilet was stopped up and making weird noises even when no one was in there. It was kinda scary at night when all of a sudden you would be just about asleep and all of a sudden hear a screaching sound coming from the bathroom. All entries must be received by December 3rd at 5 PM EST. All entries must have a valid US mailing address. Winners will be selected at random and will have 3 days to respond to the verification e-mail.

My story is that when I dropped a whole new makeup kit in the toilet that had the eyeshadows out. I was so mad, it cost 79.00. But i did recover half of it.

We have a shelf over the toilet, so - I have knocked off a bottle of perfume, a box of Kleenex, a wash cloth, etc. I really need to move that shelf! P.S. My son is a plumber (it does help).

When my son was about 2 years old, he threw the tv remote in the toilet.

Way back when, talking first job/first apartment - I decided to make soup. An early mistake is following a recipe not actually noting how many people its supposed to feed. Huge amount of soup that I wasn’t so thrilled about. How to get rid of it? No garbage disposal … so I flushed it down the toilet, never occurring to me to remove the bones. sigh
With all the CSI type shows on now, I suspect finding pipes jammed with bones should of raised some questions. Nothing was said, though it was certainly a learning experience.

My story is about my daughter when she was 3 years old. I went into the bathroom to find her with the toilet brush in the bowl. she had dumped a bag of flour in there and was stirring. She said she was making bread! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.

I would say Easy Does It.

We just had a new toilet seat installed. Very little flushes down the toilet. I am forever plunging. Who would have thought that the old was better than the new!

My scary bathroom story is when a dear friend of mine all of a sudden got very sick and ran to the bathroom. I went to help her and all this white wormy stuff came up. I was shocked. I thought she had worms. Nope she ate plain spaghetti earlier. Had me a little freaked out

I don’t have any really strange or funny toilet stories. I empty the bucket into the toilet after I clean and have twice forgotten to remove the rag, so that goes down. It hasn’t done any damage, but I imagine a blockage is forming somewhere and I’m already planning to blame it on someone else when everything starts backing up.

My daughter tried to flush a barrett. But it didn’t work and got stuck in the water hole. So after that the toilet wouldn’t flush corretly. I couldn’t budge the thing out and finally had to get some pliars and break a piece off so that it would come out…..YUCKY!

Our toilet kept clogging up and we didnt know why. My husband kept asking the kids if they put a toy in it. when he took it apart…there was a q-tip in it. Ooops…guess I missed the garbage!

Whil using he restroom upstairs I had my cell phone in the front pouch of my hoodie. I leaned over to flush and there it went. I couldn’t believe it. It happened so fast. It was just the right size that it fit down the pipe. Well atleast I thought so. I thought the phone was gone forever. Well my sister eventually went to go use the toilet and it backed up. My Dad was able to pull the phone out that got stuck in an elbow and dry it out. It worked perfectly after two days of drying. Thanks for the chance.

When our grandaughter was smaller she was always flushing something fron the remote control to her goldfish. The worse was my silver bracelet, that is gone forever.

I knocked my eyeglasses into a used toilet and couldn’t flush, had to fish them out.

My story: my cat was playing w/ my wedding ring and batted it into the toilet. Thankfully we were able to get it out. I never left my rings on the back of the toilet again!!

True story: my friend’s extremely-portly dad sat on the toilet and it fell through the ceiling into the living room downstairs! He landed on top of it, narrowly missing the poor dog. Now that’s scary!

My craziest toilet tale is actually good! When we moved into our house, the half bath toilet would run sometimes. Eventually my husband decided he would fix it, so he bought a new kit and replaced everything. From then on, it would run constantly- CONSTANTLY. We had to turn the water off at the wall after it would flush and turn it on again each time. For months (mmm 15 to be exact) it worked (or didn’t) this way. Finally I decided to try and actually fix it myself and put the kit on my list. The day I was going to the home improvement store, it started working. Perfectly! And it’s worked fine ever since, with no repair whatsoever.

I wore a cool retro Calvin Klein jumpsuit to a nightclub. When I went to use the bathroom, I unbuttoned the jumpsuit and pulled it down, not realizing the back of it went right into the filthy toilet. And there was nothing I could do but put it back on! It was my version of a horror movie.

Well my inlaws had a flood at their house so we let them stay with us, well my mother in law decided that she was going to flush a jar of olives down the toilet and needless to say it flooded my bathroom

I live in a house with my husband and three boys, so needless to say I dont know how many times I fell in the toilet bowl from them not putting the seat down!

One of our cats used to drink out of the toilet. We tried to keep the lid down but it was easy to forget, however, I walked into the bathroom and scared him one day and he ended up in the bowl. He climbed out real fast and hasn’t drank from the bowl since.

Brand new razor down the toilet! I had just bought it so I could shave and down the drain it went. Amazingly the toilet didn’t back up or have any issues. Thanks for the contest!

A few weekends ago, our youngest cat fell into the toilet! I was in the other room when I heard a slash, but didn’t think much of it until a dripping wet cat ran past!

I’m a subscriber (and I’m sorry for the typo in the last comment-should say splash-whole different meaning, lol.)

I have an older house and last New Years Eve our sump pump broke and our house trap was totally clogged so we had to have plumbers root it out around 7pm on New Years Eve in the cold. What a mess (and bill)!

My little one had a new friend over and could not find me to introduce me to him. He opened the bathroom door ( I was seated ) and he said, “THAT’S my Dad!”

When I was about 5 my Golden retriever came in to the bathroom while I was peeing, she dropped her rubber bone in between my legs and without thinking I accidentally flushed it down the toilet!

My son went to use the bathroom was he was just learning how to and fell in. I ended having to give him a bath after.

When I was a kid, my father flushed our dead fish down the toilet. I had nightmares for days after that it would come back up when I’m on the toilet and bite my bottom!

I shut the lid on my exhusband head.

Looks like a fun read. I once dropped a toothbrush in the toilet…..yep I pitched it!

my story is i put saran wrap on the top of the toilet, i spent about two hours making sure it was perfect. I put the seat down and you couldn’t see that the toilet had the wrap on it at all. The last step was to just wait for my mother to come home from lunch and have to go to the bathroom. I win!

My son was using our toothbrushes to scrub the toilet and then the bathroom counter. Glad I noticed before we had a chance to use them!

The craziest story I’ve heard is my aunt was sitting on the toilet when she felt something under her. It was a chipmunk but you coukd have heard her on the other side of town. My uncle didn’t believe her but he found the chipmunk trapped in her bloomers she had left behind.

The time my eyeglasses fell in, I was mortified, I didnt want to even clean and wear them afterwards, uck

When I was in my early 20s, I was at a party. I went to use the restroom and the floor was wet from someone who had previously been in there. I slipped and although I was unhurt I ended up really wishing I had locked the door behind me.
