Thanks, I needed that! After a week of hearing my icons dropping left and rght, a bit of silliness really hit the spot. ---

Lovely. I found it quite impossible to continue regarding the thing as merely an inanimate machine. It was having so much fun that it couldn’t stop even when it fell off. ---

There’s a link showing the same fellow running the washer with a load of bricks in it. The bricks may or may not have voided the warranty, but whatever he did to let it run _with the door open_ certainly accomplished that! (I can neither confirm nor deny that trampolines or bricks were involved in OUR recent washing machine woes. On the other hand, the video I took of it once it got working again, involving lots of reflections, sure looks like I’ve filmed proof of our house being haunted). ---

WE CAN’T SHUT IT OFF! The downtown area is directly in its way! Carnage is rampant! Bodies are piling up in the street! That machine will choke our rivers with our dead! But, DAMN, are their clothes clean! (Any one besides me think it wasn’t so smart to get that close near the end without unplugging it, first?) ---
