Feeling decidedly uninspired this past week, I turned, like most Americans, to the sweet sweet lovin’ of the television. I have recently found a British program called How Clean Is Your House? And I am addicted. It’s about these two women who go into truly, epically filthy houses- houses that should support no human life they’re that bad- and clean them up, all the while teaching the residents how to clean up after themselves. After the show, I usually scrub something. Like the kitchen floor.

How does this relate to geekdom, you ask? Well, it’s gotten me thinking about fan devotion. It’s amazing what people can become fans of. Anime, video games, sports… The broad subjects are well known, but as has been pointed out by one of our Mr. Kims fandom can be broken down even further, to specific types or traits or even items! As far as the cleaning ladies go, I am a huge fan of their rubber gloves. They have pearls and feather boas on them. I can’t help it, I just love them.

I love hearing about interesting, odd fandoms. Anyone with anything as odd as my compulsion to watch other people clean things?
