This contest goes right along with my obsession with bathrooms.

The “Pimped Out John Sweepstakes” is Roto-Rooter’s best idea ever!

The sole winner will receive a bathroom fit for multi-tasking gods, complete with a flat-panel TV, DVR, Xbox, laptop, iPod, speakers that double as the toilet paper holder, a kegerator, and of course a state-of-the-art toilet.

The winner will be announced on April 25th, which – and I’m sure the Roto-Rooter marketing guys thought of this – is National Plumber’s Day.

Gotta love those plumbers! I sure as heck don’t want that job. A Roto-Rooter guy lives across the street from me and I am thankful every time I see his truck. Thankful that’s it’s not parked in my driveway because he’s inside my house fixing my plumbing. My last house had some plumbing issues and it wasn’t very fun. Much better at this house, but if I do have a problem, I’ll just walk across the street.

Ever wonder how people wiped themselves before toilet paper was invented?
