Always Anti-fascist!

I totally feel you on that, JZ.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Completely random laundry question: I have a pair of (oldish, already much-washed) jeans that are maybe an inch long and maybe an inch loose in the waist; if I tossed them in a warm wash instead of cold, would they shrink up just a wee little bit, or would I end up with jeans that are way too short and tight?

Do you machine dry them already?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I doubt hot water and hot drying would shrink an old pair of jeans by an inch.

I almost always wash my jeans in warm. I'm not sure it makes much difference.

They've been machine washed a few times (always cold) and dried with big giant blasts of heat. A warm wash probably won't do anything at this point, will it?

hot wash might shrink them a little bit but in my experience with trying to shrink jeans they stretch back to their original shape soon after you put them on.

I don't think they will shrink, JZ.

Does anyone know anything about facebook? The theatre wants us to join a facebook group for updates and I have been really resistant to facebook, but I can't even see the group without joining. Does it email you updates, because the last damn thing I want is to have to keep checking something for updates!

Also- MAN to I have cranky pants!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

dried with big giant blasts of heat.

Do you mean "in a dryer"? Or something else? (I'm not trying to be snippy; I think that tumble-drying can shrink jeans in a way that, say, hanging them in front of a radiator can't.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If you accelerate the jeans to some large percentage of the speed of light, they'll shrink, but in only one dimension.
