Tentacle plunger

From Art Lebedev studios, the "octopus" plunger, which creates the amusing illusion of a tentacled poop-monster's questing appendage reaching up out of the pan.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

In Russia, you no plunge toilet. Toilet plunge you!

That’s cute and cool, but… who stores their plunger IN their toilet?

  On the other hand, if anyone walks by while you are actually plunging the toilet, they will totally freak out and email Mark Dery.

  Someone who is planning to give a heart attack to another person who uses the bathroom late at night (and half asleep).

If you really want to make a statement—rat plunger.

All those nooks and crannies that will get filled with dirty toilet water? No, thanks.

  Yeah – seems like so often something could be a beautiful merging of form and function, but they get it wrong in the pursuit of form over function.
  
  Tentacles would normally be slick and smooth and easy to clean… except for this one.

  We should establish a Happy Mutant Prize, just so that we can give it to a scientist who tinkers with banana and cephalopod DNA and comes up with a banana with suction cups.

    We already have banana slugs, so it might be doable.

Reminds me of the Metallica logo…

I hate to say this, but I need to use my plunger. This doesn’t seem like it would hold up.

  Hell, a plunger head style like that wouldn’t ever WORK in a the majority of toilets I’ve encountered. It’s got a sink plunger head.

    Exactly. It’s not a toilet plunger, it’s a drain plunger.

Has anyone added Tentacle Plunger to their list of band names yet, or should I?
