Perhaps some of Darks’ dessicated coffee made its way into someone’s clothes, and the reconstitution of same caused the appliances to rebel.
And washing clothes on rocks in the moat is certainly better than the alternative...having them eaten by the washers. I mean, we’re a free society and all that, but we DO like our clothes!
Mmmm... I love Darks’s coffee! I’m dringink; asmoie rite noaow. Unnnggghhh.
