    Vintage Violence!

    Christine the Plymouth Fury -- meet Kristine, the Kirby. The grungy little Kirby Sanitronic met his foster brother the Omega today, and had his first bath. Would you believe that damned Omega ran up and kicked me? At first, I was angry, and threatened military school. Then I realized what...

    Bad news and good news

    Jason... ...I am sorry to hear of you and Brianna's parting of ways. My prayers and support are with you for healing and peace in your heart. We don't know each other, but I see on these threads that you are a postive, giving, and beloved force in this good community. Best wishes, John

    Finding old appliances during urban explorations

    When I first saw this thread... ...I mentally asked "Is this the new PC term for dumpster diving?" (If there were an Olympic Event for that activity, I assure you, I'd bring the Gold home to Applianceville.) Even though I have no space to keep a washer/dryer collection, since I've been on this...

    What do you miss?

    Oh lordy... Rex, I'm with you on typewriters -- I had an old IBM B model, with a typeface that was like all capital letters. Upper case was just a taller version of the lowercase letter. I'd give body parts to have that typewriter today. I'd give a few more body parts to have an IBM Executive...

    To all the adult members out there...

    Jamie.... ...it takes a lot of integrity and character to do what you just did in posting the above apology. Yes, I was offended, but this newest post goes to great lengths to make amends. With me, your apology certainly is accepted. And if I've offended, or made you feel uncomfortable in any...

    A Kirby Kanister? Why do I have this vision of a box of tools including dusting brushes, crevice tools, shoulder straps, and hernia belts? :-) John P.S. Greg - "Buy everything you see!" Sage advice! I myself, have long followed a spiritual regimen of Inner Peace Through Acquisition.

    Proof Of Kirbys Co-Existing!

    By the way... ...Chris told me about the VCCC and the St. Louis convention. I wonder if he would be interested though -- I know he has at least a couple of vintage [aristocratic sniff] Hoovers. :-) John

    Proof Of Kirbys Co-Existing!

    By the way... Chris (christfr/st. louis) paid me a very flattering comment. He sees a resemblence between me and a Dual Sanitronic 50! He's also taken up graphic art! See below! If I only looked as good as that Sanitronic!

    Proof Of Kirbys Co-Existing!

    Oh good heavens no! Just as I was enjoying that beautiful music, and amiring their graceful, elegant, well-bred stride -- then I see that beautiful Legend II paird off with that..that..that...powerhead THUG! Call the police and have it removed from the premises at once I say! Oh the...

    Proof Of Kirbys Co-Existing!

    Don't worry about being on key.... ...we WANT it to be horrendous, Pete! Toture! As I see it, by the first chorus, Charlie should be breaking into a cold sweat. By the second chorus, I expect then to hear, between the cries to stop, a full and complete confession of taking out Bambi's mother...

    Proof Of Kirbys Co-Existing!

    Hey Pete... I'm part of a club here in St. Louis that puts on a fundraising show each year. At the end of our show, we sing "Meet Me In St. Louis" as the closing number. (and to let the party begin!) So I know the lyrics. Whattya say we continually serenade Charlie with it until the secrets of...

    Back from the SPA!

    Rex, I wonder about Kirby And their units being feasible for mixed floored homes -- not to mention their marketing methods. Hey, wouldn't it be cool if they came out with a cannister?!?! I'm imagining some TechDrive powerd pull along tank with a 10 pound powerhead. I'm suprised they carried...

    Back from the SPA!

    Jeff's method with steel wool and polish is a winner. I tried Jeff's combo of steel wool and MAAS Metal Polish on the nozzle of the Omega -- it really cut through the crud! Thanks for sharing that, Jeff! Are you ready for something goofy? I took some steel wool, a couple of washers, a nut and...

    *blush* Awwww...shucks folks... ...I'm proud of the kids too! I chidede Chris (christfr) in email today -- he calls his appliances kids, and now I'm calling my Kirby's my kids...I'm accusing him of brainwashing me. Would you believe he doctored my pic and sent it back with text balloons over...

    Proof Of Kirbys Co-Existing!

    Well... Myself, I plan to join the VCCC -- Charlie, I've seen enough of your posts here to feel that if you're part of a effort for positive growth, the chances of it working are excellent to definite. My check will go out Friday. The membership form is like from 2003, but Charlie L. says it's...
