I've found that bowl washing goes much easier when I simply put the bowl down on the floor. I pick it up again five minutes later, and it looks sparkling clean!
This made my think of something I ran across today while purging files from the filing cabinet. (It was filed under cooking!) A parody song one of the puppeteers wrote for a show Greg worked on. As Jason can probably attest, puppeteers are a sick lot!
BOILING CATS AND DOGS (to the tune of "If I Only Had A Brain")
Oh, when hunger makes you stumble
And your stmoach starts to rumble
Just boil some cats and dogs.
Yes, it's extraordinary
(Though it does get kind of hairy)
When you're boiling cats and dogs.
No, there's nothing like some poodles
Stewed up with lots of noodles
Or a steaming mug of pug.
And what diner could be crabby
Eating heaping plates of tabby
After boiling cats and dogs?
Oh gee,
The recipe
Enough for you and me!
And if finding extra portions gets too hard,
Grab something else, from someone's yard!
Try some melon wiht some collie
It'll make you shout "By Golly!"
But it's cat that is low-fat.
You'll reduce all the excess popu-
lation we won't stop you
When you're boiling cats and dogs.
And for Chinese by the platter,
If dark meat doesn't matter,
Try tongue of chow-chow mein.
Though it's better when stir-fyin'
You can really get fur flyin'
When you're boiling cats and dogs.
Just go shopping at the kennel
Get some garlic and some fennel
It's labrador for four!
And the time you'll be savin'
When you start microwavin'
'Stead of boiling cats and dogs!
Though it's really quite delicious...
No one's left to lick the dishes
After boiling cats and dogs!
