As I was cleaning me underpants the other day...........

....... I suddenly realized that almost half the year has gone. Where to, I wondered as I put another clothes peg on my nose, scraped the ugly brown stains off the kitchen sink and disinfected my hands yet again.

Yes, I do my laundry in the same place that I do my dishes.

Soon it will be time for me to go here www.volksbladfees.co.za in the middle of winter and show films once again ~ I have to remind Brother Cheezeflix that his native bearers are once again required to transport the cans of film 300 miles south.

Half the year gone? Seems like it's just beginning. I have to remember that it's autumn where you are. You get a whole different perspective when the first four months of the year are cold and dark.

Exuse me. What is this strange concept of which you speak? CLEANING your underpants? Is this a required ritual or is it optional? Why has no one informed me of it before?

For Trevor cleaning his underpants is quite a task since they've apparently become sentient. Washing them must be something akin to wrestling a crocodile.

Oh, I clean me undies about once every two or three

Years......

Make that three crocodiles and two alligators.

True dat: it's been cloudy and chilly here all day.

Lucky me, when I go to Bloemfontein in July, it will be the middle of winter and the temperature will be around 5 degrees celsius on a good day.

You should visit Canada sometime. That would be downright balmy for a midwinter day. I'm glad I live in a relatively temperate part of the country, where it almost never drops below -30.

Right now, it's a pleasant 25 degrees celsius with a breeze, and the trees are finally looking leafy. May is just about my favourite month of the year. The whole summer is ahead.

This year is flying by, like no other before it. Or so it seems.

I work five days a week from 8am to about 4pm-ish and each week has blown by, then the weekend has seemed like only one day, then back to work, then it's the next month. It's lunacy I tell you! LUNACY!!!

Trevor, we're not even allowed to dispose of our own motor oil here. Doesn't cleaning your underpants in your own home violate some kind of toxic waste safety code? Shouldn't you at least be wearing one of those NBC suits?

MilkManPictures · May 22, 2009, 11:54:55 AM

Underpants... who needs underpants?

I have to clean them at home, please understand. No matter about any nuclear fallout, because the laundry will accept my underpants, but only for burning.

washing your clothes in the sink is looooong...everything takes about a week to dry afterwards.

Ive been there, done that...got the t-shirt

Geez, don't burn them. No telling what that would release into the atmosphere. Remember Return of the Living Dead?
