A pupa! Hadn’t found one before.

Horror.
The sink was draining very slowly, so I pulled the plug out. Soaking in bleach now, which will probably damage the plug, but whatever.

What the fuck is that? is that a mini-drain monster of some kind in hibernation or just gunk?

I honestly don’t know. Without light I assume it must be fungal? Thick, almost rigid sheets of black, slimy revulsion.
After soaking in bleach all night it partially dissolved into pale, mucous-y chunks, which I could mostly scrape off with a stick. I’m going to finish by putting it in boiling water. Before I bring it back in the house.

The characters in this novelette used acid to get rid of a very disgusting supernatural fungus entity. Glad you solved your problem with bleach.

IIRC it was The Straight Dope that suggested the measure of a good dictionary was whether it defined “merkin.” It’s long been in the OED, but it’s in neither of the college dictionaries I have from the 80s/90s.

Looks like mid-'70s. I love this era of motorcycles. I’m looking for a 1974 Yamaha RD350.
