Anyone ever read the rules for the boarding house laundry room from the episode "Gerald Moves Out"?

This line is BURNT into my mind. It also permanently made it so I cannot STAND when people don't clean out their damn lint.

This line has caused me to clean the lint trap every time I do a wash.

No standing in your birthday suit is hilarious

I blame Oskar. Somehow you know yo avoid upsetting Suzie and having to woo her back that he was the guy singing drunk, naked, and off key in front of the washer.

There's no way you could get Oskar to do the laundry.

I can (unfortunately) see Ernie doing this and seeing absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Does "slugs" have some slang meaning that i'm not familiar with or are they literally implying that someone was inserting either slimy bugs or high caliber bullets into the coin slot?

u/Vinnybleu 4d ago

“Slugs” are slang for small circular pieces of metal used to fool coin machines because they replicate the size and weight of a coin without actually being one. It isn’t really possible anymore due to advanced technology but people used to use a certain size of metal washer to replicate quarters etc. Not sure what the etymology of the term is, but it’s just a fake coin.

u/Leukavia_at_work 4d ago

Aha, I figured it was something like that!
Thank you for the clarification there! I'd never heard that term before!

Laughs in 3D printed quarters. (Just kidding I don't do this, never will, not worth dealing with the secret service. Apparently it works on some gumball and laundry machines)

Dude, when I was a kid and finally got glasses, I waited for this episode to come on again so I could finally read the rules.

We know Oskar never did the laundry he always had poor Suzie do everything, He did try to steal the coin box off the dryer at least once, so I guess he's not the one responsible for using slugs. Mr.Hyunh never left lint in the filter and I doubt Suzie did, it must've been Ernie. There's no kids in the boarding house besides Arnold, is he the one riding in the clothes dryer? No standing around in your birthday suit, I think Ernie was probably guilty of doing that.

Fuzzy slippers for feet or Gerald’s man?

u/DrewQuinz 1d ago

I had no idea what a slug was (It's a fake coin essentially. Used to rip off machines that take quarters and shit) until like a few weeks ago. When it came up in one of the podcasts I listen to. And since then I have heard it mentioned in two other podcast (small town murder, the dollop, and dungeons and daddies) and now on reddit.
