I have permission from Matt to tell his tale. I will not reveal Matt’s name, so don’t even ask.

This friend of mine, whom I will not reveal, was telling me of his cleaning adventures the other day. “Six hours” he tells me, it took him to clean his basement. Matt stood there proud and accomplished as he wove his journey through years of clutter. Tanks, glass, rocks, aquarium parts, and who-knows what else filled his space from one end to the other. He gave me this cheesy grin as he reveals to me that it took 5 extra-large trash bags to remove all of the debris. What a productive day it was for him.

He found all sorts of neat stuff down there.
One of the items of particular importance, was his prized deep fryer. Matt had used this deep fryer during his days in college, two years earlier. Oh, did I mention that it still had grease in it? -

Later, Matt goes on about how long it took him, ideas for redesigning his awesome turtle habitat, and finishing all of his laundry… again. Why do I say “again”? Well, as He was trying to remove an article of clothing, that was under the deep fryer. He flipped the whole lot of rancid grease right on top of his clothes. YIKES! I was laughing so hard I think I should have checked my shorts. I was imagining chunks of chicken nuggets and fries in his socks and congealed lard embedded into his drawers. hahahaha! Go Matt!

What a great addition to my almost-famous page. After all is said and done, Matt is an awesome guy, and has a great sense of humor. Thanks Matt for letting me post this!
God knows, I have had my own share of dumb-luck.(read my previous posts)
