our form of "punishment" in this apartment is ... nutball
if you do not do your dishes within two hours, and you do this two times, you get "nutballed"
what is nutball you may ask
the person being nutball has to stand at the end of the hallway, blindfolded
all the other members of the house throw a volleyball at ... well their nuts
hahhahaha
!!!! it works! we've been doing our dishes! now maybe we should implement it with other chores...but we've been able to keep this apartment clean for FIVE guys!!!
