Could someone please explain to me...

The lint thing in the dryer. Where does it come from? How come sweaters don't just evaporate after a certain number drying cycles? How does it get caught in the trap thing? I am befuddled (gotta use a word I wouldn't normally use once a day now).

 

Sock gnomes replace your sweaters, its all part of the deal for letting them have your socks.

 

ok, so I'm ignorant and Tex is stupid. Anyone else?

 

are you really a papa, Papa? Or are you mo like a dadda, Papa?

 

uuuh, yeah, that one.

 

If the dryer did not catch the link you see on the screen, the buildup in your belly button (if you are an "innie") would get out of hand.

So the lint screens serve a true purpose.

Don't make me find a web site on this ... just trust me.

 

How does the dryer catch the lint? Why does it all collect in one place?

cool.

 

okay, you guys apparently have nothing better to do than sit at home and reply to the BBS and about lint of all things. C'mon guys I know ya'll have women you can take out on the town or something, right?? Papa, don't you have alot of women? Kith, you have..... well you got the cat. It's better than nothing.

 

Lucky, it's just a myth. No women here. Ever.

I have nothing better to do: you may not have noticed, but my post count has increased dramatically since the winter olympics started. Things should slow down by next week.

 

And don't forget that proper disposal consists of putting it out in your yard so that the birds can use it to line their nests (Source: The Man Show, "Household Hints From Adult Film Stars")

ROTFLMAO!

 

OK. Think of the Dryer as a Socialistic Government. And think of the Dryer Gnomes as the elected officials. Their sworn duty is to take the lint from the garments that have too much and redistribute it amongst the rest of the garments. What you see in the lint trap is the government hold backs taken from the redistribution. And YOU, by taking the dryer lint, have become the laundry equivalent of Big Brother. Basically I have no idea....

 

OMG! ROTFLMAO!!!! Sorry Kith, but that was hilarious!!!!!!!

 

I refuse to believe that folks are actually posting about the lint in the dryer.
Everyone knows that lint is sweater doo doo.
The lint trap is nothing more than a diaper.
Any sane person knows to empty the lint into the toilet or one of those ridiculous pamper disposers that turns it into doo doo diaper sausages.

 

Yeah, this is sad: my brother is out with his college buddies getting drunk on his 20th birthday, and i'm here at my computer, unable to walk to bed cuz my leg's alseep...

 

Sweater doo doo, now that was good! It sounds like most of you don't do laundry much. I guess when I'm at the track I'll recognize you by the smell....

 

Well, I think it's payback for what he told everybody on another thread.

 

Right, Ms. Laudry. Meanwhile you haven't explained where lint comes from, why sweaters don't just expire after a while, or how it just gets collected in the trap.

 

Lint is like dust Papa. When the dryer is running it's all floating around and these wicked smart engineers figured out how to make it all go into the lint trap. It's like a little vacuum for dust.

If you've noticed, not a whole lot of lint comes out in a small load because it's very small fibers of dust. This would explain why the clothes never really evaporate along with the fact that we eventually wear them out and get rid of them before we could wash and dry them enough times to evaporate.

If you don't like dryer lint, then I suggest you take your laundry down to the Potomac River, beat them clean with a rock then hang them on a line to dry. Problem solved.
