OK, here's the deal with cleaning, my friends. It is happening in a quite haphazard way, if at all. Your editor has to go into the showers with a small firearm and a net to avoid being attacked by hairballs. And if the women's locker room is bad, God Only Knows what is going on across the hall.It obviously makes no difference to post the lists on this blog for weeks ahead of time, and anyway it is time consuming and annoying for your editor, as the blog template has to be tweaked each time. Publishing funny pictures did not inspire people to clean. Furthermore, there were many people who misidentified the Sexy Maid as an actual member of our club ("port or starboard, honey?") It was, in fact, a stock picture I stole off the web, but your editor was repeatedly reprimanded on the dock for publishing photos of scantily clad acquaintences. And cleaning attendance did not pick up at all.
Personally, I would like to fine everyone who does not clean and use the money to take the people who do clean out to dinner, but I am told that can't happen.
So this is how it will work: you will get the cleaning list from Baxter, as you do already, on the Yahoo list serve. Pay ettention to it. Then, every week I am going to post the list of people who are supposed to clean the following Saturday. I am pleased to see that this week's group is drawn from the "S" section of our membership, a notoriously responsible lot. They are:
Susan Schofield D
Betsy Seabury C
A. Craig Shealy A
Donna Stannis B
Susan Steiner E
If you can't clean, trade with someone else, OK?
