No, it wasn’t last nights Chili

ST. LOUIS – There’s a street in St. Louis that acts like a geyser. Residents say it literally explodes during hard rains. It’s in south city near Arkansas and McKean avenues, where an underground sewer system will sometimes blow stormwater straight up and out through the streets.

“You hear the manholes kind of trembling and you hear the water exploding and it sounds like steam and then chunks of asphalt are flying into the air,” resident Sacha Heath said.

Heath says the aftermath always shows chunks of thrown concrete and scars in the street that look like potholes, but the city doesn’t have to pay for these repairs.

The Metropolitan Sewer District does. We saw an MSD crew there today.

“There’s no damage, structural damage to the main itself. It’s just the water came on through manholes, any seams in the streets it can find,” Sean Hadley said.

Hadley says it’s an old brick sewer system that was designed to work this way a century ago.

“It’s an overcharged main, and the water’s gotta go somewhere,” he said.

Hadley says stormwater will burst through the mortar joints between bricks or out manhole covers.

“That’s what the system is designed to do – for it to pop the manhole covers so that the water can come out and it’s not popping in people’s basements. That’s what you don’t want to happen,” Hadley said.

Date: 9/8/2021 1:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hey Larry So, I'm really hoping that there is a difference in "storm water," and sewer, and what's blasting out of those manholes is not....

L.E.D.---Alright, that's enough of that! You know, at times, you are just plain disgusting.

kronk---Hey, what can I say? I believe that if I lived anywhere around that "phenomenon;" I'd certainly want to know if there is a difference.

L.E.D.---Go ahead and keep it up, Mr. Smarty Pants. You won't be flippant, when "The Whip Comes Down."

kronk---I'm getting excited!

L.R.D.---Ugh!

Since that particular storm system was designed and put into practice back before poutine was invented, rest assured that all is well.

Besides, I hear that those type of “systems” up in the Great White North are the active ingredient that gives poutine its five star rating only Chef Ramsey could appreciate.

...I just knew that there would be an Arkansas connection somewhere in this story.

AND, F.Y.I., poutine was invented by the ancient Sumerians. If you need this confirmed, ask Kronk.

  
Date: 9/11/2021 9:37:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Don’t you mean ask L.E.D.?  
Date: 9/11/2021 2:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hey Larry and Hekler L.E.D. here: I'll try and answer the "Poutine/Sumerian" question, to the best of my ability. Kronk is out on the prairie, collecting cow urine. Someone told him that bathing in cow urine is good for his complexion.

Anyway....It must have been about 2500 BC, when I passed through Samaria. I was on my own, since kronk was out in Egypt, building pyramids. He speared some pharaoh's pet cat, and was sentenced to fifty years in the quarry. Kronk was originally sentenced to death by decapitation, but I disguised myself as "Anubis" and appeared to pharaoh, in a dream. I told the king that kronk was a "touched in the head" prophet and cutting his head off would anger the great crocodile god, Sobek, who would, without a doubt, steal into his chambers, during a forthcoming new moon, and devour him in his sleep. Anyway, pharaoh bought it and I got the sentence reduced to fifty years in bondage.

Yes, after saving kronk's bacon, yet again, I made my way to the city of Ur. I remember partaking of several meals during my stay. The fried fish was excellent and since barley was big, in that part of the world, naturally we had copious amounts of beer.

I never did partake of "poutine" while I was there, because my friend Sagmi insisted it was taboo. She said poutine was what "they" fed the quarry slaves in Egypt.
  
Date: 9/11/2021 2:39:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Kronk---What's going on? You mind bugging out, bro. I'm about to take my bath.

L.E.D.---No problem, man. I'm outta' here. Ugh!
  
Date: 9/11/2021 3:33:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Quarry Slaves were imported from Canada eh?  
Date: 9/11/2021 7:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hey Larry Man! This is just too much. An add titled "The Uncomfortable Scene That Ended The Brady Bunch," just embedded itself on this post. What's going on? Finland is looking better and better every day!  
Date: 9/11/2021 7:32:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    That “ uncomfortable scene “ that ended The Brady Bunch had something to do with Marsha, Marsh ,Marsha! I hear Iceland has great hotel deals during the winter months.  
Date: 9/12/2021 5:16:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hey Larry Yes, indeed, "Marsha" has definitely had her ups and downs, in the grand old game of life. She's still kickin', I hear. I was more of a "Florence Henderson" kinda' guy, myself.

L.E.D. here: Hey Larry Please don't encourage kronk. He's dead set on wintering in Finland, finding an ice pack and murdering an elephant seal. Someone told him that elephant seal liver would rejuvenate his brain cells.
  
Date: 9/12/2021 11:52:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Florence Henderson, not bad. Hekler , being the domesticated type , really had a crush on Alice. Something about a woman in uniform I guess.

L.E.D., my apologies. Perhaps the epitaph on W.C. Fields tombstone would be more appropriate. “ On The Hole, I’d Rather Be In Philadelphia.”

Ah yes, the city of brotherly love.
  
Date: 9/13/2021 8:36:00 PM  From Authorid: 5301    

...L.E.D...thank you for setting the record straight on the topic of poutine but I really must
ask if you had consulted the ancient platinum scroll of Moose Jaw that was held at the Library at Alexandria?

I must admit disappointment at Kronk's seeming inability to go through life without stirring up the natives.
Next time you travel, bring him to a kennel.

  
Date: 9/13/2021 8:38:00 PM  From Authorid: 5301    

...yes H.L., it's true.
Every time Alice came on the screen, I got the vapors.

  
Date: 2/17/2022 5:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    I love those guys.
