We here at Nanny Goats In Panties take pride in delivering prompt and frequent posts. We believe in quantity, not quality. And we understand that that is what our fans have come to expect. Which is why we sincerely apologize for not posting for the last two days. Nanny Goats has been busy tearing up mail into tiny pieces and eating it, resulting in a tummy ache.
However, if you feel you’ve been neglected, you may apply for a pro-rated refund of your subscription cost, no questions asked.
So the other day as I was minding my own business in L.A. (’cause if you don’t mind your own business, they shoot you), throngs of people began pouring off of busses and onto the sidewalk near the intersection of Sepulveda and Santa Monica Blvds.
Who are the Janitors For Justice you may be asking right about now. Well let me tell you. These are dirt-hating people who are obsessive about cleaning. They must clean. All the time. It’s all they think about. It’s in their blood. Why else would they call themselves Janitors For Justice?
Some of us may think they are weird, but they simply can’t help the way they are. And just because they are different than us is no reason to discriminate against them. I mean, I personally can’t stand cleaning (see previous post regarding bi-yearly dishwashing). But these guys? They love love LOVE it! And they want to shout it out to the world.
At first I thought, What are the Janitors For Justice doing outside? I didn’t think they ever went outdoors. They are always indoors. Cleaning stuff.
Then I saw that they were simply organizing into a mass sanitation frenzy. They walked across the streets, picking up garbage, sweeping in each others’ wakes, creating public awareness of their quirkyness. I couldn’t understand everything they shouted, but it sounded like, “We are janitors! Down With Grime! Tote That Garbage! Lift That Pail!”
This woman began mopping up the gutters and the street…
These next guys were so clever. I thought they were marching with drums, but then they turned them over to reveal soapy buckets of water to scrub the sidewalks! Isn’t that great?
Another fantastic thing about this group is that they are equal opportunity employers. For example, they don’t discriminate against short people. In fact, Arturo here, has been a janitor for 18 years, and has risen to JFJ President, which is why he leads the group in this clean-up parade below.
I’m not positive, but I think this event was a combination Janitor Clean The Street/Biker Show…
Bikes of all shapes and sizes were there. This one’s for the ladies…
L.A.’s Finest. Or is it Bravest? Or is it Best Dressed? Oh, I can’t remember now. Speaking of best dressed…
Anyway, if you’re looking for a new purple T-Shirt and ruffled-skirt-over-sweat-pants number like the runway-ready outfit above, one that is snazzy enough to stop traffic, find out where the Janitors for Justice shop, because clearly they all frequent the same boutique.
So, as you can see, Nanny Goats isn’t just about fine recipes, but we offer the latest tips in fashion too!

I don’t even know what to say about these people. God bless ‘em. But keep me far away from that ruffled skirt-sweat pants number, please.
I had to visit your blog after you upped the ante on my commenter comment at Vintage Thirty. Nicely played
Yep, I’m definitely likin’ that skirt.
A janitor’s untion…really…why? Maybe they can descend from a bus into my house since obviously they have lots and lots of time to kill.
I’m with Tricia - send them over here next!
I, too, was entranced with the ruffled skirt and sweatpants combo, but upon closer inspection, I believe it’s an apron.
I didn’t know they made aprons any more…
i want two dollars back! ha ha ha ha ha
smiles, bee
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoox
LOL. Wish I’d been there. I’m hurt you didn’t email me if you were in town, whas up with that??? I don’t drink coffee but I can drink tea with the best of ‘em.
merlotmom: I think that was the week we tried and failed. Hopefully next time?
Thanks for stopping by! Yeah, that book is entertaining so far. I’d probably finish it (and others) more quickly if I’d commit to reading ONE book at a time! I think it’s a sickness.
too much! Look at the lovely weather you have going on out there. I’m freezing on the east coast…
Good stuff, its nice to read an entertaining post that doesnt consist of the words “kill, murder, sex” and other words I cant repeat.
