5. Yesss.
Hopefully "Clean the Bathroom" isn't some eighties dance craze that you are referencing. :P

24. Don't you remember doing the "bowl brusher" move as well as
the arm action in the "wipe the mirror" part of the dance? Ah, nostalgia ...

2. Let me know when you figure it out.
Cleaning isn't one of my favorite things. x(

Gotta remember that one, that's good.

Oddly, I can really get into cleaning house with a modest buzz.

27. I love that concept
I think everyone should party with their deceased loved ones in the cemetery. It seems to be something that is done in Korea as well. We used to go and sit by the grave of a family member on NYE, it was a cool thing to do.


But I'm weird, so....

11. I don't know
but if it involves chemical intake, let me know so I can get some. ;)

I know how you feel. I think what you really really might consider is writing to Queer Eye for the Straight Guy to have them give you a makeover, and Kyan ALWAYS does the bathroom!! :D

Good luck, bud. :hi:

14. Put on the BIG yellow gloves and don't take them off till
you're done. You won't feel like touching anything except the bathroom. It's how I force myself.

25. Put on a very loud recording
of Ocean Man from Sponge Bob, the movie. Drink three lukewarm cups of coffee very fast. Go into the room. Spray liberally.

Go back in 15 minutes and wipe with paper towels. Screw the environment, throw them away.
