Elliot, you’re such a lazy dirt freak

Tony asked, about 6 hours ago

Surprise! (again)

Are you neat?

Yeah, right. Totally. (snort)

Don’t fall off the edge of the Earth.

But as neat as Pete – tenfold at least.

Leave those shoes outside if possible and hose or brush the (dried) mud off, depending on the material.

Or leave them on an old towel next to the entrance door (inside) first if you live in a flat…

Um…. maybe some people might think I’m kinda neat but other people probably have a different opinion.

I don’t try to be neat, or cool, or anything like that….

I’m too old to know the rules… or whether anybody even says “neat” any more.

It’s better to just be polite and, if possible, kind.

Not in this lifetime.

I try!!! But it’s so hard to be meticulous!!!

Am I neat? Some people might consider my place to be cluttered and a little disorganized, but it is clean and the floors are clear. I’m not comfortable being in places that appear sterilized and obsessively organized.

I don’t know about me but Muddy Waters is pretty neat, cause he has his MoJo working.

Meh – When I have to be.

Isn’t that where muddy sneakers go? Gee, I guess I’ve been doing it wrong all these years.

I’m neat in a disorderly sort of way. Everything in it’s place, and place is all over the place.

I find the answer to the question “what were you thinking?” is usually “I wasn’t.”

they don’t look muddy to me
