take a look at the rim holes in the bowl, are they clogged?

For sure!

Plumber was over here doing something, and I asked him
to have a look at the toilet.

He said "get me a wire coat-hanger" -- I did, and he
cut it and bent a 3 or so inch piece so that it had
a one-inch (or so) piece of it at a right angle, and
then used it to poke into those rim-holes and wiggle
it around, etc, and then when he flushed it, all
this horrible black stuff (mold?) came out.

Flushed a lot better after that!
