Russ SharekAnd now, because I want to join all the cool kids slogging through Sisyphean tasks, I will vacuum a carpet before I tear it out.

@RussSharek The comedic value of scattering a trail of ancient filth behind as you drag a rolled up carpet out of the building is *probably* outweighed by the hassle of vacuuming the entire exit path instead of cleaning the carpet at the get-go. 😂
Perhaps, but I assure you there's plenty of remaining filth lying about for future comedy.
Also, 'trail of filth' is a terrific band name.
@RussSharek Given an old enough building, it’s probably impossible to run out of filth, tbh. 
Hey, we brought some of our own newer filth here. ;)
@RussSharek Excellent! It’s important to bring in new stock to keep things fresh. 
secretsloth@mivox @RussSharek oh boy oh boy! wait, now I'm wondering what the gender neutral term would be for that, because "oh the humanity" won't do.
@secretsloth @RussSharek “Oh child, oh child” definitely doesn’t have the same feel to it either. 😂
"Oh primate, oh primate," has an odd ring to it.
@RussSharek @secretsloth And a dangerous level of vagueness. What if a pack of howler monkeys shows up?
Around here? First, snacks. Then hand out mops. They can't do any worse than we do.
@RussSharek @secretsloth *imagines a pack of clowns shrieking and flinging poo at each other*
Are you sure about that? 
Also, the grouping term for clowns is 'romp' or 'ruckus'.
@RussSharek @secretsloth If y’all are acting like howler monkeys, I would argue “ruckus” would be more correct. 🐒🐒🐒
