Long shorts might be Pete's greatest contribution to tennis. Clothes are the most unfortunate contribution to Maria Kirilenko's tennis.

The most unfortunate contribution to tennis fashion would be the wardrobe malfunction of one Dominik Hrbaty! I dare you to hang dry that one in public view!

The raven population residing in Tokyo are awaiting SoBad's return. They have maintained an uneasy truce with the dark muse of Tennis Warehouse, trying to decipher his intentions from the various writings they have monitored from his numerous lodgings. Can SoBad trust the ravens? Can the ravens trust SoBad?

Rusty was doing Sewretch's laundry. It's been ten days and no word from him, we may need to send a search party. Poor chap could be lost somewhere in the midriff region of his circus tent, or maybe still scrubbing out the skid marks which just don't seem to go.@SoBad should offer to come over and do my laundry...I spill my coffee often while trying to read his incredible brand of tennis journalism.

Wednesday morning - good clothes and delicates
Thursday morning - bedsheets, pillowcases, cushion covers
Sunday morning - everything else (e.g. socks, underwear, jeans)
Easy, and this way I keep on top of everything.
Jackets and curtains go off to the dry cleaner every couple of months or so.

Many reporters go for greedy cheap thrills, catering to the broadest possible base. In contrast, the elite boutique journalists often take a very different route, targeting an exclusive niche of sophisticated tennis aficionados who appreciate a thorough and truthful narrative.@SoBad should offer to come over and do my laundry...I spill my coffee often while trying to read his incredible brand of tennis journalism.

This is a curious break from convention where socks/underwear treatment is typically scheduled for Thursday, while bedsheets/pillowcases can be taken care of on Sunday.

Tell us your twist on the USO. Is it Fraudskoy's title to win or lose? Will Safin present his trophy, commemorating the greatest moment in Flushing history when GOATPartyBoy demolished the 13-time Slam champion, thus keeping the total tally of slams won at a manageable number for future Swiss GOAT to surpass?
Without Stososov there, surely this Is Fraudskoy's best chance at starting his quest to gain immortality!

Well, I’ve been out of the loop lately, and I think everyone knows better than to expect me to go shooting from the hip half-cocked, generating forecasts absent thorough research and rigorous analysis.Tell us your twist on the USO.

We all know that as long as Nishikori, Nadal, Djokovic, Donskoy, Berankis, etc. are in contention for the title, anything can happen. As the slam gets underway, hopefully I’ll have insight on dark horses like Khachanov and the projections can be fine-tuned accordingly.

Berankis will wither under the 1R Tunisian heat of Jaziri. Khachanov has drawn fellow qualifier Fabbiano; both withstood the grueling 3-match test to advance to main draw. It is so unfair of the organizers to put these enormous talents through the extra rigor of these matches.

I try to keep my Sundays relaxing, so I'd rather deal with the sheets and pillowcases during the week as they're more annoying than underwear and socks.

She may have outsourced that to India. I see slime green tents and compression shorts being hung to dry in the slums nearby (on the way to my gym) everyday. They usually have their faces covered while washing, so it can only be Sewretches load.Poor mrs sewretch has to do underwear daily.
Tents as well.

Poobsretch certainly does teach us all the lesson of patience. Who hasn't waited for hours outside a restroom holding everything in while Pooretch was inside letting out a few more golden nuggets and asking the persons outside to lob in another roll of toilet paper, please.

Dry Clean
The ancient Romans discovered that a combination of ammonia and a type of clay called fuller’s earth cleaned togas better than water did. Later civilizations elected not to use a byproduct of urine to loosen tough stains and turned instead to kerosine and gasoline. After a number of explosions, professional cleaners in the 20th century began using chlorine-based industrial solvents.
In spycraft, a “dry clean” is a counter-surveillance measure. If an agent believes he’s picked up a tail, he might get into a subway and step back out right before the doors close, or, if he’s in a car, make a rapid U-turn and see if any vehicles also reverse course.

Shrinkage Prevention
Think about the last time you pulled a much loved article of clothing from the washer or dryer, only to find that it had shrunk to a size that would prevent you from ever wearing it again, unless you managed to drop a hundred pounds and shrink yourself by at least eighteen inches. Frustrating, right? We’ve all been there, but we don’t have to go back. Keep reading for everything you need to know about the causes of shrinkage and how to prevent it.
Heat is not your friend if you’re trying to avoid shrinking your clothes, especially those which are made of natural fibers like cotton, wool and mohair. However, don’t make the mistake of thinking that you can avoid it by simply reducing the heat in your dryer or by using a clothesline. The truth is that your washing machine is equally capable of shrinking your clothes, and not just with the wrong water temperature. Agitation is what causes animal fabrics like wool, mohair and cashmere to shrink, which is why it’s best to have them dry cleaned.
Cotton, while not an animal fabric, is a natural one and can therefore present certain challenges when trying to prevent shrinkage. Cotton shrinks because of the tension that is applied to its yarn and fabrics during the construction of the clothing. The tension is released by heat from the washer, dryer, steam and even sunlight, which causes the fabric to be reduced to its natural size. This is why most cotton clothing will shrink during its first washing. The best way to avoid shrinkage is to wash them by hand or to use cold water and the delicate cycle of your washing machine. Ideally, your clothes that are made of natural fibers should never see the inside of your dryer. Invest in a couple of folding tables, so you can lay your clothes flat and let them dry on their own. Cotton clothing can be dried on hangers. If you must use the dryer for your cottons, use the lowest heat setting possible.
“Oops, I did it again.” If you find yourself saying this in the future, consider using the non-wearable clothing for other things around your house. When I was growing up, my mother used old white t-shirts to dust the house. They’re gentle on wood surfaces and will leave them clean and shiny. If you’re looking for a more creative solution for your clothing mishaps, consider turning them into dog clothes. The mother of one of my high school friends once turned a shrunken tube top into an outfit for her portly Pekingese, but my wish for you is that your pets don’t end up with your hand-me-downs.
Happy washing!
