I lost it at booger sugar, that phrase won’t leave my brain for quite awhile. I know Bug’s pain when it comes to cleaning. I have a hard time mustering up the courage to clean my house when video games are calling my name. “Play meee,” they say, taunting my notions of being productive.
My brother and his gf came over to help paint my kitchen. it was done in about twenty minutes. And, done well. I couldn’t believe it. Years later I found out why… booger sugar.
I clean businesses after they close on evenings, and as a result, I hate coming to my house and having to do it all over again. I don’t do drugs either, but maybe some Red Bull or something would improve my abilities? 🙂
Panel 2 has happened VERBATIM in my house. Wives just don’t seem to understand…men don’t SEE dirt where women do. It’s genetic, so I’ve heard. Of course, once we get the Pledge out, it still takes another two or three days to actually USE it. Apparently, that’s also wrong.
Yeah, but the same guy who can’t see dust in the house freaks at a smudge on his carburetor. The guy who can’t remember where the forks and spoons go has a meticulous tools box with foam cut outlines for each tool. The computer geek who has a sofa full of cheetos’ dust has file system based on a Mandelbrot set.
People clean what they care about and they clean things that they believe reflect on them. Guys aren’t judged by women by how often we dust decorative furniture but how well we get our remunerative work done, so guys clean and organize their work tools. Women are attracted to nice cars so guys detail their cars with a microscope.
If women didn’t bang guys until they saw how clean their carpets where, we’d all be ready magazines about vacuuming, and the new Ford V20 Quantum Level Vacuum advertised as, “Has the POWER you need to clean down to the atomic level!” Then we’d all go done to the cleaning supply store and argue over the best stain removing.
The last time I went down into my crawlspace was to clean up after a septic overflow. It wasn’t pretty to begin with. But, when I crawled out, there was an ancient dead rat plastered to my back.

I think the entire strip was just there so Adam could use the phrase “booger sugar”.
My first thought, exactly!
Wow you got the Pledge out in just one weekend? Impressive.
I definitely read “valium the crawl space” the first, second, *and* third times through. >_>

Oh God… Bug in that third panel absolutely killed me! 😀

No, it’s called “being married to the plumber.”
I.e., the at YOUR house never gets fixed.
Cleaning huh? All it takes for me is to have the internet disconnected. But then again, I hope that never happens!

Remember ladies, you get what you bang for.

I’m trying to find the comic with irrational fears of children. Heads coming off, letting go and something else. Can you guys find it for me?
You mean this one? http://www.bugcomic.com/comics/baby-fears/
I FINALLY GOT A REPLY FROM Adam!!!
Yes that one, I searched for an hour last night for this. Thank you so much
Damn it woman I said I’ll clean, no need to keep reminding me every six months!
NOOOO! Don’t resort to drugs just to get housework done… Actually, that might be a good idea!
You’re supposed to clean the house?!!
I just burn it down every 6 months and start from scratch… 🙁
I can usually stay motivated to clean until my iPod battery dies. Then so does my motivation.
So THAT’s what the secret ingredient in Oxi-Clean is.
