Guys,

I've been thinking about dirty clothes and how clothes get dirty and how we can get more people to dirty more clothes faster. Well, that got me thinking about a Renaisance Festival I attended years ago. Have you ever been to one? They're a lot of fun. Anyway, I was watching the Mud Bog competition at the festival. For this competition, they have a mud bog about 15' wide X 50' long X 2' deep. A competitor stands at each end facing each other. The first competitor goes into the mud and makes his way to the other end. The crowd claps wildly as he tries to interact with the mud in entertaining and unique ways. This is followed by the other competitor going into the mud from his end and doing the same thing. Now, I don't remember how they determined who won but I do remember that they both got plenty dirty. It was kind of like one of those swamp buggy races without the swamp buggies - very funny. Sometimes, a contestant would stop and give a great big, muddy kiss and hug to one of the spectators.

Now here's what I'm thinking - We could sponsor the first ever Mud Bog Wrangling (MBW) League. Teams would compete with each other at indoor Mud Bog Stadiums that have retractible roofs and concession stands that sell Mud milkshakes and Bog Burgers. It would be great, clean entertainment for the whole family. Soon, every school would belong to MBW leagues of their own. Even after graduating, twenty-somethings would often gather at neighborhood mud bogs for a pickup game of Mud Bog Wrangling. Soon, everybody would be playing in the mud almost daily.

So, how are these hundreds of Mud Boggers going to wash their uniforms :confused: Certainly not in a home washer that might plug up at the mere sight of a soiled Mud Bog uniform :eek:. Nope ... they'll have to wash them at the local laundromat where those washers with the 3" drains can handle all that caked-on mud without plugging up :). Now this is where you and I come in. Since we will sponser the MBW league and some of those neighborhood mud bogs; boggers will want to support our laundromat when it's time to de-bog their uniforms.

Suzy,

I hope this story wasn't too "dirty" for you.

Larry, you spend too much time in the laundry game. You need to get some hobbies and stop thinking about this dirty stuff all the time. Mine is photography, here is a shot I have been working on doing a B&W conversion from color:

By the appearance of my Grandson upon a day of hard play, I believe there may already be some of those Bog-Teams out there. Of course, the customers would over load the tops's with the Mud-0-Laundry...so Larry would need to come up with some Laundro-Mud-Load signs staing the rules and regs for the Mud Washings.

Larry ---- yes the right amount of mud can work for us.

Those of us with an attached self service car wash notice that some pre-spray the mud off of some of their clothes out in the bay.

Larry: If you truly want to pursue this business, get in touch with your local chapter of the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism). They sanction mud-bog fights, wars, jousts, quests, and feasts -- reenacting life of the Middle Ages and early Renaissance periods. They dress in period garb: lords and ladies, knaves, and wenches. Be sure to have a couple of 100-pound washers available for the suits of armor -- or perhaps a car-wash bay would be more appropriate. Wash & Polish in lieu of WDF! They're mostly nuts, but harmless ones!
