Ice Ice Baby! ...Pick?

General
So I was thinking... At the place i'm currently residing, we have a french-style fridge (Yes I know, big deal. Whoop). Ah, but does your fridge pee itself every night? Haha! ...yeah, didn't think so. This one's special.
ANYWAY, the fridge belongs to my roommate and he means well to have the leak fixed, but he never got around to it because he works a job and goes to college. This pretty much amounts to his entire day taken up. Poor guy. :o
Well, to be a good roomie, I cleaned out the fridge, but decided to take apart the bottom shelving to figure out what the leak problem is being caused by and attempt to do my own crazy repair work on it (You know, cause totally being an unlicensed novice at fridge repair is totally my thing).
Turns out that there's a drainage at the bottom of the freezer side. This drains... water I'm assuming and it was clogged up... by a bag of frozen peas. O_o`
"I see!" said the blind man to his deaf dog as he picked up his hammer and saw.
One removal of a frozen pea-bag and one icepick to the frozen lake at the bottom later and the drainage is actually doing what it was blessed by man's creation to do-- drain water. The giant chunks of ice are in the sink. Because throwing them in the trash would be dumb and tossing them outside will probably crush a stray kitten. So mission accomplished, I fixed a fridge drainage problem!
Yeah, I know. I'm so exciting. :3
So besides cooking and cleaning, add "appliance repair" to the list of things I can do that don't result in a 911 call to the fire department.

we also had drug paraphernalia in the sink of a rental property, including a whole knife and a whole toothbrush, but I've become so jaded to weird druggie behavior that it doesn't strike me as odd anymore :P
least pleasant cleanup: some kind of substance that I believe was wet coffee grounds, all down the back inside of the fridge, including running down underneath the crisper baskets at the bottom.
