  1. changeling says:

    get your greeting cards laundered

    • changeling says:
      That's gonna leave a hallmark.
      • Dragonwriter says:

        A rose by any other name would smell as clean.

        • changeling says:

          Shall I complement thee on a Mother’s day?
          Thou art more laundry and all-temperature:
          Rough agitations do shake the darling suds of May …

          • Admiral Apparent says:

            Out, damned spot! out, I say! One; two: why, then, ’tis time to do’t. Hell is murky!

            • The Ghost of Many says:

              But cruel are the times, when we are traitors
              And do not wash the socks

              • Dragonwriter says:

                Let Thisby have clean linen.

                *squints at Ghost*

                You look…different…today.

                • The Ghost of Many says:

                  *snicker*

                  I washed my quilt in hot and this is what happened!

                  • changeling says:

                    But softener! what whites through yonder stains have bleached?

                    • The Ghost of Many says:

                      Why should Tide-tania cross her All-beron?
                      I do but beg a little changeling boy
                      To be my punsman.

                      hee...
                      • fluffy says:

                        But softener, what laundry, through front-load window breaks.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Shake off this Downy sheet, softness’s counterfeit, and look upon softness itself!

                        • The Ghost of Many says:

                          It is with pleats, so hang it dry in the sun.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Sort them, and make incision in their hides,
                          That their hot wash may spin in English dryers.

                        • fluffy says:

                          There is a Tide in the undies of men.

                        • The Ghost of Many says:

                          Double, double, toil and trouble;
                          Spin and rinse the soapy bubbles!

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Beware the Tides of starch!

                        • fluffy says:

                          The soil of this man is in his clothes.

                        • changeling says:

                          Those that much coverlet are with Gain so fond.

                        • The Ghost of Many says:

                          O washing miserable!
                          With an unlabelled jacket muddy-sleeve’d,
                          When shalt thou see thy stainless days again

                        • matt.thesealion says:

                          To bleach or not to bleach. That is the question.

                        • The Ghost of Many says:
                          To show our simple skill, That is the true beginning of our end. (bark!bark! sea lion) 
                        • ¡Great Scott! Me transmitte sursum, caledoni ▲Caution slow posts▲ says:

                          All the world’s a stain,
                          And all the men and women merely washers;
                          They have their whites and their colors,
                          And one man in his time dries many pants,
                          His wash being seven stages.

                        • fluffy says:

                          With steam and Bounce let old wrinkles come out.

                        • The Ghost of Many says:

                          I am thy mother’s spirit;
                          By no uncertain terms – no wash tonight,
                          You’re for the day confin’d to jogging pants,
                          Till the foul stains done in your days of labor
                          Are rinsed and spun away.

                          That'll teach 'em! Nyah-nyah...!!!
                        • fluffy says:

                          But doth not the fashion sense alter? A man loves the speedo in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          I dare not fight; but I will
                          wink and hold out mine iron: it is a simple one; but
                          what though? it will toast cheese.

                          (That’s the real, unchanged quote…I swear!)

                        • fluffy says:

                          Are you more starch-hard than a steam iron?

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Methinks that’s a question for man… :p

                          That all the tears that thy poor eyes let fall
                          May run into that sink, and soaking in
                          Drown the whites and darks in sea-salt tears.

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          Approach the fold and cull th’ unmatched sock.

                        • The Ghost of Many says:
                          Something cotton from the state of Denmark? 
                        • fluffy says:

                          Her laundry was ever soft, Gentle, and folded, an excellent thing.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Go take up these clothes here quickly. Where’s the
                          cowl-staff? look, how you drumble! Carry them to
                          the laundress in Datchet-meat; quickly, come.

                        • The Ghost of Many says:

                          Thou shalt smell as free
                          As mountain winds; but then exactly do
                          As labeling command.

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          But, for their virtue only is their show,
                          They live unwooled, an unrespected fade;
                          Dye to themselves.

                        • fluffy says:

                          O let not women’s lipsticks, water-drops, Stain my man’s collar.

                        • The Ghost of Many says:

                          Is this detergent which I see before me,
                          The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.
                          I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.
                          Art thou not, lame-ass present, sensible
                          To feeling as to sight? Or art thou but
                          Detergent of the mind, a false creation,
                          Proceeding from the man-oppressed brain?

                        • fluffy says:
                          Bravo Ghost! Excellent!

                          Through tattered clothes small tears do appear; Robes and folded gowns hide all.

                        • The Ghost of Many says:
                          I am having waaaaay too much fun with this.
                          When the Shakespeare-hater set himself up, I thought I was dreaming and pinched myself! 
                        • The Ghost of Many says:
                          myself. (word wrap fail?) 
                        • The Ghost of Many says:

                          True, I say this dress;
                          Which is invention of an idle brain,
                          Begot of nothing but perv fantasy;
                          It is as thin of substance as the air,
                          And more translucent than the wind, it props
                          Even now the massive bosom at her North
                          And, being flimsy, puffs away from thence

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          The detergent hath bubbles, as the water has,
                          And these are of them. Whither are the stains vanish’d?

                        • TMI Service says:

                          Re the pre text re rapping the knuckles of the knuckle-headed haterz …

                              O, how are they wrapp’d in with infamies
                               That from their own misdeeds askance their eyes!

                          The pre text don’t wrap, fo’sh!tzzle.

                        • The Ghost of Many says:
                          And I still had "Double Dutch" fresh in my brain
                          from the bus fail. 
                        • The Ghost of Many says:
                           noticed, thx O changeful one 
                           fo'shizzy in the hizzy, hippizzy! 
                        • Sheik Yerbouti says:

                          Friends, fullers, countrymen,
                          Lend me your quarters.
                          I come to scrub Caesar, not to rinse him.
                          The skid marks that men do live after the wash;
                          The bleach is oft diverted in the load.

                          (not sure I can compete with Willie’s Ghost there)

                        • The Ghost of Many says:

                          :)

                          This Ghost doesn't have a Willie. 
                        • The Ghost of Many says:
                          Also, nice name Sheik. I think I will. *shakey shakey* 
                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Question me no more; we are espied;
                          Here comes a parcel of our hopeful booty.

                          ...Okay, I promise I'll stop now.
                        • The Ghost of Many says:

                          Heh-heh, you said “booty”…

                           No, really, you go ahead and have fun. 
                          I've gone way overboard and I'm tapped out.
                          (I just got all excited and played too much.) 
                        • ROFLCOPTER says:

                          combo breaker?

            • None o yo bisnichle says:

              I hate Shakespeare!

    • suckyducky says:

  3. changeling says:

  4. GI Joe says:

  5. np says:

  6. domo says:

  14. hmmm says:

  15. darmah says:

    I keep seeing all these comments about the date being wrong and crap like that. Duh.. It’s simply that you don’t give your mother laundry detergent for mothers day! Nor should looking at laundry soap make you think of your mother! now Im off to my moms to do laundry :)

  16. Albert Phan says:

    More like an epic WIN!

    I’m not sexist. Really, I’m not.

  17. coze says:

    Ah walgreens, a never ending source of FAIL!

  18. jujaa says:

    well, in holland it’s not really a fail. it’s today mother’s day, but it depends on the country where this picture is taken.

  19. L says:

    I remember an advertisement for a pet shop in a Dutch newspaper many years ago, which stated the following: “Now for mother’s day: 20 per cent discount on all cages”.

  20. Bad Mood says:

    Ya know, I clicked here wondering whether or not this post would be full of jerks proclaiming this sign a win. No surprises here. Oooh, I wonder if anyone will make one of those hilarious women making sandwich jokes! Surely, that would be LOL-worthy!

  21. ukrgallery says:

    I see a clear win here

  22. In comparison says:

    For Mother’s Day this year I got a stomach bug and a migraine. So in comparison, I think I would have rather gotten laundry detergent.

  23. Heidi says:

    Hell hath no fury like the mama that receives laundry detergent for Mother’s Day!

  24. A flower of any other color says:

    On a happy note, happy Mother’s Day to all of the wonderful Moms, Mums, Mommies, MaMas, and Mothers. I hope your day was blessed. (whichever date it happened to be on ;-])

    The post gave me a chuckle, but I was certainly thankful I did not have to do clothes on Mother’s day :D
    Why didn’t I think of asking for that?!

  25. Andrew Ong says:

    The sign is a win, its placement is a fail.

  26. Ramzoid says:

    Nothing wrong with that, your blog fails. failure. The term FAIL fails.

  27. Little Girl Blue - Dunno the rest, but I know fo shizzle I'm Marius's Sista From Another Mista and Starfishy's Gutta Buddy and I'm wearing Bits of ZA says:

    Novercaphobia – fear of your step-mother.

    And, just for fun:

    Pentheraphobia or Novercaphobia – fear of mother-in-law.

  28. Richard0623 says:

    I wouldn’t say Mother’s Day fail, but rather Mother’s Day Win

  29. Amanda says:

    Dang! I should have gotten my mom laundry detergent for Mother’s Day!! haha. Dear old Walgreens. How I love that place. They aren’t too bright there sometimes… But they do pay me for working there! :) haha.

  30. Paula Maria. says:

    Wait.. where’s the joke? Wasn’t mother’s day on 9th? o.O

  31. Ari Gold says:

  32. voucher says:

  33. becks says:

    Walgreens fail… Sad to say I work at a store. We at least watch out where we put things.

  34. Matt says:

    I’m in the bathroom.

  35. Bellaautumn says:

    Another Walgreen’s Win. I work there too unfortunately and I wish the people in my store would recklessly put our sale adds out like this because I’m pretty sure the area that I work in no one would be able to make a connection.

  36. Dave says:

    this is a win. not a fail

  37. Nebulous says:

    Mom made me buy detergent AND do the laundry because I forgot.

  38. boo says:

    Walgreens always has weird signs up throughout there store.

  39. Oneill5491 says:

    Definite win. But 50% off dish washing detergent with purchase of laundry detergent would have been ultra win.
