| Smart Set commented on 01.22.05 | | wim, an "anagran" sounds like it should be a mixed-up old grootmoeder. |

| DVD Dan commented on 01.21.05 | | I think she retired it when I left home. It gave quite the workout pushing that iron beast all around the house. I'm sure it never died. Kind of like a VW Bug you can always fix it, unlike the plastic disposable vacuums of today. |

| wim commented on 01.21.05 | | if my wife would spend my money on her palls, it had better not be a vacuum cleaner, as the anagran of Aemrsstt noticed. Rebecca, it does more than running, it hoopers as the sign says |

| Smart Set commented on 01.21.05 | | Vacuum cleaners suck, man. |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 01.21.05 | | Yeah but is it still running? |

| DVD Dan commented on 01.21.05 | | Just got done hoovering a pizza and remembered a story about my moms Kirby. It was about 1976 I'd say. My mom hadn't been feeling well lately (the change) so my dad had been balancing the checkbook (normally my mom's job) The three of us were driving home from somewhere and my dad asked my mom what the $300 check for "Pals" was for. I immediately chimed in those are my vitamins (kids chewables). My dad was aghast. Mom said, "that's not it, we can talk about it later." Well Pals was the name of my vitamins but it in this case it was the local vacuum cleaner store. My mom bought a Kirby with all the attachments. While $300 was a better deal for a superduty vacuum than for kids vitamins, it still didn't really make my dad's day. |

| Smart Set commented on 01.21.05 | | I suppose J. Edgar had something to do with "hoover" not catching on as a verb.
Some cats might quite like to be hoovered (with the "wand" bit, of course). My cats are never vicious; they just run away at the first sign of human danger. |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 01.21.05 | | Or your face.
|
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 01.21.05 | | As far as I am aware, we don't really use "hoover" as a verb the way you folks do. Besides, if you hoovered the cat then you'd likely be bandaiding your arms next. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 01.21.05 | | Checked out the Kirby story. No, Kirby products are not a household name here. The generic term for vacuum cleaners is (as in the US?)Hoover, e.g. "I must hoover the cat", but while Dyson fans may feel uncomfortable with the word, the phrase "I must Dyson today" is not catching on, even though the Dyson range is now the market leader here. |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 01.20.05 | | Hmm, does it keep your hair in place by suction? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 01.20.05 | | Well, a Kirby grip is a hair-grip (bobby pin?) but that's all. |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 01.20.05 | | Aah, the light breaks through. Just curious, does the name "Kirby" mean anything to you over there? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 01.20.05 | | The Dyson is the upright vacuum cleaner just to the right of the mattress. It's a revolutionary design by top British boffin James Dyson. |

| Rebecca commented on 01.20.05 | | Translation? |
