madder'dan hail

i red/reed my sister-in-laws(erin shaw) blog.. she blogged not long ago about how mad clothes hangers can make you...she claims they bring the worst out in her more quickly than anything else. i never get mad but do curse when dealing with all sorts of things including hangers. i am a mess and would be worse if i didnt use preventative maintenance techniques. you see..once in college i went to my closet to find a hanger and had no empties on the rack.. i was "garfunckled"(i know) confused. has someone raided my closet and taken only empty hangers? i turned and realized i had about seven hangers on the floor... how has this gone so long...i estimated that it was a month worth of hangers. i arrived at this estimate because i got three wears out of most shirts before hanging them back up.. and preferred t- shirts most days. so my method of prevention was to pull the shirt off the hanger and leave the hanger on the rack.. genius i know. anyways i have shallow closets in the scense that the width of the hanger is exactly the depth of my closet.. and it is not a big closet. so my frustration is not tied to tangled hangers in a pile because i never take them out of the closet.. but more that my closet is small and full of hangers that fit about the same as tupaware covers after the first wash.

by the way... when is one of the 16 csi shows gonna tackle the sock thief case, or the umbrella mystery. i should probably turn myself in for stealing umbrellas.. i dont remember ever stealing an umbrella but i know for damn sure i have not purchased the ones i have..i have a couple by the door and atleast one in my car.. maybe i black out and wander around town stealing umbrellas and leave the scene with out a trace. better yet maybe we have finally figured out the sharing thing..that there are only a relatively small number of umbrellas in the world and those that need an umbrella have them. maybe we can operate with other things the way we do with umbrellas. when you are leaving somewhere take what ever you can that the people you are leaving wont need or atleast wont need until some else shows up with enough items to fulfill such needs. this is not a good idea sorry. you wasted time reading that non sense. seriously though if you are in downtown ruston and find it raining.. shoot me an email or a text because i may have your umbrella. again sorry for stealing umbrellas and writing this horse shit.

have you ever seen the way your eldest brother hangs a shirt on a hanger? It's a thing of beauty, really...

Maybe you could pass on some of your preventative maintenance techniques to him.

your paypa chasin google ad is advertising hangers. Coincidence?

I don't take hangers down either. I want to hide a camera so that I can capture their maiting and the miracle of dry-cleaner hanger birth.. the young ones are born naked and blind but they grow a paper skin as they age. strangely this paper cover usually develops the markings of dry cleaner logos from towns you live in 10 years ago. I found one from Bear's Cleaners Waco TX recently.

i also spell mating maiting which is like spelling read reed or passed tense red.
