I told you. I told you all. Tik-toks just waiting to cause trouble. You all thought I was mad doing my wash in the tub and now, see what's happened.

Washing machines don't tick! Or tock. They just spin! And wash! ... okay, now they do more, but STILL.

Sinks could suck them down just as well!

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

They're mechanical! They do things that a person could do. That's... it's creepy.

And I've never had a problem with a sink.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

I've had problems with sinks. But only after I spilled things down them, okay.

But they don't think or walk or or or tick like a time bomb! I like clean clothes! Fast clean clothes! Fast clean soft shiny not-wet clothes!

...which are now missing, but that is not the point!

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

My clothes are clean, sofr and shiny and not wet.

If you really need someone to do your clothes, I'll do them. Just to do them properly.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

You're... offering to wash my clothes?

I am not sure how to take that. .. Thank you? Um. I can do them. Really. Especially the delicates, which forget I said that, but.

Okay, not saying I'm giving up on the machines, because I like them, but, hypothetically, how much would you charge?

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

...

I... wasn't going to charge?

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

I... what? I don't get it.

Oh! Unless this is just to prove how much better a sink and some Woolite is? Because I'm not budging on that. Even if you do 'em for free. Really.

... do you just like washing clothes?

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

I don't love doing housework or anything. I'm just very used to it.

And it's a matter of doing something the right way.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

What did machines ever do to you? C'mon! Okay. Aside from steal everyone's clothes this week.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

They're tiktoks! I'm no Unionist, but I don't truck much with pleasure pfaithism either!

And I've not dealt with many tik toks myself, but I've heard quite a lot of one killing a poor innocent Goat.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Okay, sometimes a car takes out the occasional livestock, but that's poor driving. Or poor driving conditions. Or deer suicide.

And pleasure what? No, never mind.

I am going to conquer the machines and prove you wrong!

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

If you conquer them, then they'll listen to you and... well, I don't know you very well, but that could be good or bad.

And I wasn't talking about livestock. He was a professor!

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

I'll command them to wash my clothes and give back the others, that's what I'll do.

Ohhh, well, if they killed a friend of yours, that makes sense. I'm sorry.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

No friend of mine. And not a professor here.`

It was all in the past, but I heard about it. Quite a lot as a child, really.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

...okay, your childhood was weirder than mine. And that's going some.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Two words.

Flying. Monkeys.

...four words on top of that, actually:

Magical. Manipulative. Evil. Goldfish.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

You so win.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

...I don't think that counts as 'winning'.
