I have to admit I was a little disappointed by the Elgin Street Irregulars’ most recent emergency meeting minutes.
Usually if you squint real hard and read between the lines, you can find whatever you’re looking for in their minutes. But I looked high and low and I could not find any hint of a message of congratulations to us for winning the Profile Contest. Not only that, but there was nothing in the minutes that reflected any discussion of the logistics of how they intend to implement our prize.
Will they all get together each week at the laundromat for a BSI Laundry Party? Or will they each take a turn doing ALL our laundry? Or will they work some kind of ’laundry twinning’ arrangement with us? For example, The Chair could do my laundry every week, and Coyote could do Foxy’s laundry every week.
I don’t know how fair the laundry twinning idea is though, since some of us don’t have as much laundry as others. Aggie and Conchie and the Dwarf might feel put upon because they’re buried under a virtual avalanche of never-ending laundry while the others just have to do a little spot clean or a quick lick or a Visine rinse and they’re done.
On the other hand, I need fast turnaround on my laundry because I only have the one slipcover. I’ll be standing there naked, tapping my foot impatiently while the Chair does my laundry.
At any rate, these are things they should have discussed at their meeting. Do you think it was an oversight, or are they trying to weasle out of doing our laundry?

I bet they’re going to ask zoom to do our laundry for them. I hear she’s got wings on her feet. Silver wings. She’d probably just zoom around the laundromat and our laundry would all be done in about two seconds. Zooooom!!!!
What do you think Chaisey? Do you think that’s why they’re being so nice to zoom?

Zoom would probably get Duncan to do it. I hear they call him the Laundrocat. I bet he just wiggles his nose and all the laundry does itself.

Wow! That’s a pretty smart cat.
I think somebody better hurry up and do our laundry because some of it is starting to get a little stinky. Especially Elf’s. If you know what I mean.

Maybe Aggie will do all the laundry, since she collects clotheslines. Elfy would be delerious if Aggie did his laundry. (Not that he’s not already delerious.)

With great sadness I must conclude that they are in fact ‘trying to weasel out.’
Come on lads, admit you’ve been trounced. I think it’s about time the laundromat became your ‘usual spot.’ Ha ha ha ha!!!! Wannabes indeed!!!!!!!!
Yes, Visine will be fine.

Wait… I smell?
WAIT… Aggie’s gonna do my laundry??
I’m going to need some fancy new threads! I lost my last pair of underwear a few years ago during a singles’ pub crawl, and never replaced them. Do you think Aggie prefers boxers or briefs? You don’t think she likes elves in thongs… Do you?
I am SO NERVOUS now! This is my big chance!!
March 24, 2008 at 1:19 pm
I think Aggie likes briefs best.
March 24, 2008 at 1:20 pm
Elfy, maybe you should do your laundry before Aggie does your laundry, kinda like the way people clean their houses before the cleaning lady comes over, ya know?
March 24, 2008 at 2:56 pm
I can do that… Thanks for the suggestion, Chaisey!
March 24, 2008 at 3:25 pm
You’re welcome Elfy. But just remember if they go with the Laundry Twinning idea, it’ll be the Dwarf doing your laundry, which might call for a different pre-laundry strategy altogether.

Please advise the Word Cop that I require sharp creases in my trousers. Sharp as a knife.

Hey Chaisey, are you really going to stand around naked while their Chair washes your slip cover?
He’s probably on his way down to the laundrymat right now. Just in case you turn up.
Clippity-clop!
March 24, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Foxy, I’ll be all naked and trembling while the Chair works up a lather.
March 25, 2008 at 2:49 pm
oh my gosh
March 25, 2008 at 9:38 pm
What you could try doing is linking to the post you refer to…you’ve linked to the site so no one knows what the F*^&! you’re talking about. Oopsies.
March 25, 2008 at 9:56 pm
?, you’re right.
March 26, 2008 at 10:01 pm
I don’t know about that Foxy. Should I link to ALL of the posts over there that don’t mention doing our laundry??
Besides, maybe I WANTED to keep the question mark guessing.

OK Chaise. Your call.
