> [@Lissa](#): > > See, your first mistake was putting water in it. The correct thing to do is put the pan on the floor and call for the dog. Dogs are incredibly determined dish cleaners. They are nature’s Brillo pad. If there’s an atom of food left, the dog will find it and work until they manage to consume it. > > Afterwards, should the mood take you, you put water in it and wash it. 😃 Unfortunately, I have no dog… I have a cat, who _claims_ to like fish, but when I offered her a (fresh) piece of this one she looked at me like I was mildly retarded. It turns out miss princess only likes _salmon_. (this was bass) ---

I’m just curious as to what’ll happen. Report back after you try it, ok? My guess is that acid + base (+base) would foam. ---

> [@Amazon Floozy Goddess](#): > > I could mail it to you…? Sure, just wrap it some newspaper and seal the flap with some peanut butter. When I get it, I’ll give it a good overnight soaking in my broccoli water, and then slap some stamps on it and mail it to the next person. Nothin’ says lovin’ like a chain letter from the oven. ---

You should put it inside the Cooler of Death and let them fight it out to the finish. ---

They’re environmentally friendly, effecient, and some breeds aren’t very noisy. Mine came with a special “tail-swishing action” that sweeps the floor if you offer her a biscuit. ---
