Lewiston, Maine-A 50- to 60-foot doughy mass is clogging a sewer line under the city’s main drag, and crews have been unable to budge it. “We’re not sure exactly what it is,” Public Services Director David Jones said Wednesday. “We’re just trying to get rid of it. We want it to stop clogging up our pipe.” The clog starts in front of the United Baptist Church on Main Street and continues downhill to the Bates Street intersection.

The sewer line that it’s in begins in front of Sam’s Italian Foods, according to Deputy Public Services Director Kevin Gagne. The city has little choice but to replace the 12-inch diameter pipe, at a cost of between $40,000 and $60,000, Jones said. City crews discovered the clog earlier this month after responding to complaints of blocked sewer lines downtown. Jones said crews opened a manhole at the Bates Street intersection and saw the clog – an oozing, white blob that looks like uncooked dough. A Sam’s employee wouldn’t comment on the situation. Executives from the restaurant, which serves pizza among other dishes, couldn’t be reached for comment Wednesday night.

Thats a whole lotta pizza dough.

    It starts at the Baptist Church …

    A whole bag of communion wafers tossed down for fun, sucking up all the water there could be, and continuing to grow with every flush.

    On a latter note, drunken rats evade the streets at noon.

    I live in Maine, and it is my opinion that Sam’s serves the worst pizza. At least the worst that I have ever had. That’s just my opinion, we welcome yours.

    Mmmmmm…. Pizza Dough!

    #7. Maybe everybody is throwing their pizza into the crapper.

  10. old waterman says:

    OK I had my sewer experts look at the photo. Their opinion is the line collapsed. On the bottom you can see part of the broken pipe. Actually they have found much stranger things lodged in lines.

    Holy shit!

  12. Jägermeister says:

  14. JimR says:

    Sam’s Italian Foods was just trying to get a “rise” out of the United Baptist Church on Main Street.

  15. Mister Catshit says:

    I just knew those Baptists were full of shit !!!

    That’s a lot of dough. And you can take that to the bank.

    “Well you could clog it for her, clog it for me Sam” !!!

    Didn’t Stephen King’s “The Tommyknockers” have a similar start?

    Rutgers have Hoes, Main has Doughs.

    Hmmm, talk about having a bun in the oven.

    “Myrtal, what do you mean the kid flushed that super yeast down the toilet”?
