1) I keep your picture against the wall. It hides a nasty stain that's lying there.

2) I've been picking up dirty dishes and throwing them away.

3) When you're laying in bed at night watching roaches climb the wall, if you call your dad he could stop it all

(NB this only works as a domestic hint if you have a rich dad, and see moving away as a substitute for cleaning up)

'You left the water running, when you walked out on me'

(walking out is probably the greater offence, but leaving the water running is worth a scold)

That's not really a handy hint though, is it, more a reprimand for foolishness.

4) What do we do with a boy like you? We put him in a pot and we throw it on the fire.

"Grits Ain't Groceries."

Radiohead's b-side "You never wash up after yourself" is less a handy hint than a cautionary example (but worth quoting nonetheless):

I must get out once in a while
Everything is starting to die
The dust settles, the worms dig
Spiders crawl over the bed

I must get out once in a while
I eat all day and now I'm fat
Yesterday's meal is hugging the plate
You never wash up after yourself

Hang up your chairs to better sweep
Clear the floor to dance
Shake the rug into the fireplace.

Just take your big ass to the bathroom and please use a little bit of soap.

Mama's, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys...

When the first cup of coffee tastes like washing up / [you know you're] losing it.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Sunday, 23 July 2006 03:40 (nineteen years ago)

Stankin ass bitches that need to wash up, dont get mad when I dont want to fuck. You need soap and water, soap and water, soap and water, soap and water.

― Xii (Xii), Sunday, 23 July 2006 03:44 (nineteen years ago)

Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed

― Dr Benway (dr benway), Sunday, 23 July 2006 04:24 (nineteen years ago)

[On shooting a sailor down dead on the floor]: "Aw, you shouldn't do that, don't you know you'll stain the carpet?"

― Monty Von Byonga (Monty Von Byonga), Sunday, 23 July 2006 09:56 (nineteen years ago)

I don't eat no meat, no dairy, no sweets
only ripe vegetables, fresh fruit and whole wheat
I'm from the old school, my household smell like soul food, bro
curried falafel, barbecued tofu
no fish though, no candy bars, no cigarettes
only ganja and fresh-squeezed juice from oranges
exercising daily to stay healthy
and I rarely drink water out the tap, cause it's filthy

Lentil soup is mental fruit
and ginger root is good for the yout'
Fresh veg-e-table with the mayatl stew
sweet yam fries with the green calalloo
careful how you season and prepare your foods
cause you don't wanna lose vitamins and miner-ules
and that's the jewel
life brings life, it's valuable, so I eat what comes
from the ground, it's natural
let your food be your medicine (uh huh)
no Excederin (uh uh)
strictly herb, generate in the sun, cause I got melanin
and drink water, eight glasses a day
cause that's what they say

What in the world is in that room, what you got in that room?
A couple a gats, a couple of knives
A couple of rats, a couple of wives, now it's time to choose

It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake
if the way is hazy
you gotta do the cooking by the book
you know you can't be lazy
never use a messy recipe
the cake would end up crazy
if you do the cooking by the book
then you'll have a cake.

And she tells me they're selling up their maisonettes
Left the Hotpoints to rust in the kitchenettes
And they're saving their labour for insane reading.

if you close the door, the night could last forever.

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

― Whitman Mayonnaise (Rock Hardy), Sunday, 23 July 2006 20:16 (nineteen years ago)

You see you women have a good thing goin'
But we hip to ya now

You take two or three pieces
And go down to the laundromat
An' take ya eight hours to wash 'em
No good!

We gonna buy ya washers and dryers
And we're gonna put ya at home in the basement
And we gonna kick the door down that goes to the basement
While we can hear the washer when it stop

And baby, baby, baby, when that washer stop
You better be though
Or you better have a darn good explanation!

Don't you go get whupped all on the toenails
We're gonna raise your eye lashes and whup ya some
And if ya run fast enough
We're gonna whup ya on the bottom of the feet
Ain't that right men?
Speak up for yourself! (yeah, yeah)

There will be no more goin' to the laundromat
Puttin' your clothes in there
And gettin' your girlfriend keep her eye on it
While you step out the back door

You better take my advise
You might need it on your vacation this summer
I'd hate to see ya come up with a leg screwed off
Or a eye punched out
Yeah!

Whoa! yeah, yeah!

I know you don't know it babe (yeah, yeah, yeah)
But things look bad for you
Hey, I know you don't know it babe
But I'm gonna keep a close eye on you

Well, ev'ry time you go to the laundromat, baby
I want you to know, I want you to know
That I'll be there too!

Here's one from Eminem: "A blood stain is orange after you wash it 3 or 4 times in the tub, but that's normal ain't it Norman?"

Take out the paper and the trash,
Or you don't get no spendin' cash,
And when you're finished doing that,
Walk the dog and put out the cat
