That's an extra good Seinfeld jpg too.

for me doing laundry is always contingent upon me having a big enough stash of quarters for washing + drying (or just washing and hanging up wet). i either have to hoard them or walk all the way to the laundromat and use their change machine.

first world problem

hstencil, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 03:42 (eighteen years ago)

third world people don't have to do laundry

get bent, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 03:44 (eighteen years ago)

no, they have streams and rivers polluted with their own feces in which to do their laundry, complainer.

hstencil, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 03:44 (eighteen years ago)

sorry for not finishing my spaghetti, mom

Hurting 2, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 03:45 (eighteen years ago)

kids are starving in korea, whiner.

way to generalize the entire "third world," generalizer

get bent, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 03:46 (eighteen years ago)

okay, some of them use lakes filled with feces too.

hstencil, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 03:46 (eighteen years ago)

pretty much anything we complain about on this board is nothing compared to the problems of third world life

Hurting 2, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 03:47 (eighteen years ago)

yet doing away with that complaining = barely any new threads.

I find that bars are pretty good at providing a steady stream of quarters, given the right ratio of hanging out to laundry.

Everything should really take a debit card.

Jeff, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 03:49 (eighteen years ago)

cio both of you, stop ruining my nice thread and go clean up some feces in darfur or wherever (xpost)

get bent, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 03:49 (eighteen years ago)

laundromat change machines are usually good at giving change, too.

hstencil, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 03:49 (eighteen years ago)

man jody did you hear the darfur underground mega-lake?!?!? no feces in it yet.

hstencil, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 03:50 (eighteen years ago)

I have coin laundry in-house, no change machine. I can go to the currency exchange and get a roll of $10 for $10.25. 2x debit cards.

oh wait, get bent = jody? I think I knew that but forgot

I heard about that underground megalake - I imagine it to require unlocking via some Total Recall-style handprint thingy.

Hurting 2, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 03:53 (eighteen years ago)

it looks kinda cool. also, mega.

hstencil, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 03:54 (eighteen years ago)

may or may not actually be full of water iiuc - could be a dry bed

Hurting 2, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 03:55 (eighteen years ago)

dimes or nickels cost more to make than they're worth. yep.

tremendoid, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 03:56 (eighteen years ago)

too bad for the darfurians (darfurites?) it doesn't have oil.

anyway my landlord has a dry cleaning business downstairs, i just drop off with him.

hstencil, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 03:58 (eighteen years ago)

Washer and dryer in my kitchen. Washer does awesome stompy dance and shakes the whole apartment.

Hurting 2, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 03:59 (eighteen years ago)

life is rough.

hstencil, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 04:00 (eighteen years ago)

Did I mention it spews feces?

Hurting 2, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 04:01 (eighteen years ago)

damn you should look into getting that fixed!

hstencil, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 04:02 (eighteen years ago)

I sometimes pimp my wi-fi just to EAT
