      i drop my laundry off (one of two new york luxuries i will never give up, despite how poor i might get/already am- (1) coffee comes from coffee shops; (2) somebody else does the laundry) but that last pic looks just about like how it is when it comes back, so probably they’re doing what you showed, only faster and a million times over all day every day.

      I do a sloppy flip of the arms behind the back then fold in the middle, but normally the bottom part of the folded edges have opened up and I say screw it and toss it in the drawer anyway.

      Thank you so MUCH! I no longer read the paper because I am THAT bitter. But these are two of my ladies- just read the first grapg- will read it all tomorrow. Had four tequilas….Thanks Barry! I love you.

  39. pr

      Barry and Sam- email me your picks, I’ll add mine, and I’ll post tomorrow?

      Also, Ryan, the beauty of this post made me think of posting a mean monday post that I was thinkin about since I took down a post last weekend that was clearly “silly” and some dude called it “the demise of htmlgiant”. I love this. I love how this mixes it up. I guess, I, well, love you Ryan. When I drink, I get full of love. I also love when drinking. But you get the idea.

  41. pr

      I fold in the air, if you could call it folding. I sort of mush things real quickly and then shove them somewhere.

  42. pr

      “love when not drinking” Jeez.

      Some dude named Gary, Now, the thing is, with the internet, sometimes it is hard to tell what the tone is. Tone, Ah. A wierd thing. But occasionally, people get nasty. I took his comment to be nasty. And I got embarrassed, even though, I now regret deleting that post because I actually really like the book Hockey Haiku:The Essential Collection. The idea that there is is academic studies in “Hockey Gynku”? Or a haiku that goes:
      Eddie Balfour drinks.
      Eddie Balfour drinks too much.
      Eddie Balfour drinks.

      It was Valentines Day. I posted a very goofy post about loving hockey players. Perhaps Gary was joking? Anyway, my feeling were hurt. And I can be self conscious about being having fun being an idiot. Not that you are an idiot, Ryan. But, you get my point. I also an working on a post on Alfred Jarry, who was a French precursor to the surrealists, who embraced stupidity. Stupidity has a place.

      Maybe I misread Gary. But once in a blue moon, the haters need to be told to fuck off. That’s all. I love this T shirt post. Come fold my stuff. I’m horrible. My house is a fucking mess.

      Also, Hockey Haiku? Written by two actual academics. It’s a fantastic book. I often talk bout what a puss I am- I should not have deleted that post.

      Whoops. something bad happend with that post. some shit got repeated! Forgive me. Early bed for me tonite/

      Man, Toronto and Ottawa are playing. People- you are not drunk if you are like- why was that long post hard to read? It is my fault. OK, hockey.

      What happened to your comment asking me who said demise? There was one, right? That’s why I started that one comment ‘some dude named Gary’. Anywho – all good. Love this. I think htmlgiant is special for this, for Blake posting a post that said “I’m very tired” and for Mr. Pink posting a post that asked where his blog was. I love the mixin it up.

      Truth is, my amazing husband is the better folder. And you know what he says to me? I fold, but you put out. And it’s true! It all works out!

      same as me, the sloppy flop

      still better than what i used to do, which was just a bunch of halving. my shirts would look like shit, all these weird creases everywhere.

      Ben-She is a fantastic. That whole Santa Cruz scene produces some wonderful thinkers. Thanks for mentioning her. Justin brought her up the other day. Maybe I’ll try to do a big ole post on her.
