Put a sock in it, Slater!
Last month, the Reassembler blog wanted his reader(s) to vote for what he should blog about next. And we clamored for #4: The debatable value of trying too hard to win.
Not wishing for good topics to go to waste, Wahrheit took the initiative in creating #3: Link love. (And I have to give a special shout-out to Wahrheit: since mentioning Donnie’s “improving” FICS rating, Donnie hasn’t won, slapping him back to reality. You don’t know how tiring it was to hear him brag about “I’m almost 1900!” every single meeting.)
And this e-mail I got from Mrs. Reassembler gave me a perfect opportunity to create a post for #6: Put a sock in it, Slater!
Dear Mascot,
I need your help. My husband is normally a wonderful man, but there is one thing that’s driving me crazy! HE NEVER PUTS HIS DIRTY CLOTHES IN THE LAUNDRY BASKET. I have to gather up his clothes off the floor everytime! Help!
Thanks,
Mrs. Reassembler
This is a tough one. For the first cycle in your husband’s training, we’ll start him off with socks, then we’ll work up to shirts and jeans.
Step 1: Take off a dirty sock
Step 2: Walk over to the laundry basket (Warning: can require effort if you don’t happen to be close by)
Step 3: Put a sock in it!
I got all the way through step two thinking “where the heck is he going with this?”
Neither the tidiest nor the brightest, I guess.
Reply to Derek SlaterCan’t wait for the pic where the guy takes off his jeans
Reply to Qa Modification for Step 2: instead of walking over to it, have the laundry basket across the room and “shoot baskets” with the dirty laundry. Make sure you yell, ” OH yeah! Three Pointer.” while wife is putting on make up.
Reply to Blunderpronedamn, Q beat me to it.
if the wife is putting on eye makeup while you’re trumpeting your laundryball prowess, be prepared to have a foot broken off in yo’ ass.
Reply to annieKeep in mind “the guy” in the picture is me. We don’t have the budget to hire anyone sexy.
Reply to Donnie@Derek: I hear using the Exchange French helps with that kinda thing.
@Q: Yeah, shoulda figured you’d want that.
@Blunderprone: That is brilliant. Now I need to get a wife to try that on.
@Annie: A wife with a broken off foot would be at a distinct disadvantage. Except if the husband can’t dislodge the foot, preventing bowel movements, thus killing him within weeks.
@Donnie: In theory I could have done it, but I had better things to do.
