Jason and Grant are going to be published again.
Roto-Rooter on the Lookout for Strange, Weird and True Plumbing Tales
Top plumbing and drain cleaning service provider Roto-Rooter is looking for the strangest, wackiest, scariest and just downright oddest plumbing stories for their new bathroom reader. The book, designed to be a quirky, vignette style quick read will include commentary from Ghost Hunters stars Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson – real life Roto-Rooter plumbers – along with some practical plumbing advice and utterly useless trivial knowledge that will impress your friends.
Abrams adds that "many viewers forget that Jason and Grant are Roto-Rooter service technicians in addition to paranormal investigating celebrities."
Chilling Tales from the Porcelain Seat is expected to be available for sale online mid-summer 2009. More information about the project and story submissions can be found online. Deadline for submissions is May 10, 2009.

I wonder if they will include the recent internet story of the snake taking a bite of the man's private part.

A quick thank you to Hannah for telling me about this topic!
Well, I read the PR piece and did anyone notice the pr inaccuracey? Well, here it is, first they are RR plumbers but then it's quoted they are "service technicians". Once again…. a major difference. Which is it? So, can you guess my next move?

Already called RR but the PR guy's number goes to voice mail. Got transferred to an "Investor Relations" woman who said she might be able to help me with any questions I may have. I asked her if there was anyone else in their PR Department and she said no, just Abrams and if she couldn't help that I would have to talk to Abrams. Darn it. I should have left it at that because now, all she has to do is tip off Abrams I asked her about the press release. She disavowed any knowledge of it and/or GH and any claims. Big surprise. I did try to get Abrams again before I logged back in here but I got his voice mail again. I'm guessing he'll let it go to voice mail to screen his calls.
I did think it funny that Abrams himself was quoted as saying "service technicians" which I've been saying all along so he's covering his ____. However, he did, in fact, put out a release that says plumbers as well althought not a direct "quote".
Edit: just made another call – got voice mail again. I really don't think that's a good sign when your PR person doesn't answer the phone especially when he lists his number on a press release. The operator said he was in the office. Hope he's reallly busy.
Ironically, while emailing about a post on this thread, a RR commercial came on the television. Weird since I haven't seen one in many, many years. Wonder if it's because J&G are in the region?
