MANITOU SPRINGS, CO -- Recent houseguests generously stocked and tidied up much of Steve "ColoradoGuy" Garufi's kitchen last week, but all were repulsed by the month-old dirty dishes sitting in his kitcen sink.

"I'm more than happy to clean things, but I'm not going near that disgusting sink." said 'Kansas Kelly' Martin, as she took a break from scrubbing the exterior of the oven, "You couldn't pay me enough to touch anything in there." (See left photo)

An upclose photo revealed a tupperware container with oatmeal caked on the sides, an icky-looking lime green sponge and hints of other gruesome items below the dishes. Additionally, what the camera could not capture by sight was the slight odor emitting from the dishes.

British visitor Nick Hughes of London seemed somewhat understanding, but was nevertheless troubled by the dishes in the sink.

"In Britian, we would call this one bloody awful mess." said the web site regular, who traveled the longest distance to attend this year's 'ColoradoGuy Festival' in Manitou Springs. (See adjacent photo)

Steve himself, refused to comment about the dishes and merely said, "I'm just so glad that you brought over all this food. You're welcome to clean my bathroom as well, by the way."

This is not the first time Steve's messy kitchen has been publicized on this web site. In 2001, equally dirty dishes in his kitchen sink were photographed for web site viewers. Also, a peace activist who slept on Steve's green couch generously washed all of his dishes early one morning.
