Way too much out of me.....

I apologize in advance for my posts.

Please note I have tried to keep my off-topic off-key humour out of the *serious* areas and in the sandbox only.(Imperial/yellow secion).

Similarly I have tried to hold back. And when I do write it in parables- a story with two meanings so that the innocent & youngin's would not catch it.

Personally I am the LAST one with any credibility to be able to criticze or complain about others' posts. But here I go anyway. I personally don't go for the posts that say *DROOL*- so-and-so is hot. I wanna make an adult video with XXXXXXX

To me this is the equivalent of a homeless unbathed person (who spits and adjusts himself) on the street whistling at a gorgeous 25 year old young lady. Do you REALLY think she would EVER be interested? Perhaps a private e-mail that starts off slowly would engage the person in a closer bond.

So again I apologize for my indiscretions. [As rare as they are. HA!] Please feel free to send me a PRIVATE reprimand. This way YOU feel better and I learn.

Much love and repsect always
-Steve

Ah-Hah!! Now I get it. OK, so I'm a little slow on the u

-See the innocent do miss the essence occasionally.

I would like to apologize too for being so nasty. Maybe Robert can "Waste" this thread and we can go back to vintage washer and dishwashers without the dirty comments.

good CLEAN fun

Jason,you're kewl.Apology accepted.To err is human,to forgive,divine

 

[jasonl]

No problem. And I thought it would've been funny to parody some of those great ads and even make them a little risque'. Well, here ain't the place. Maybe the sandbox but with a warning in the header. We can't be serious ALL the time.

You Win! I apologize!

OK, OK
It was the first message of its kind from me, and it will definitely be the last.
For my punishment, replace my trusty Roper with a Maytag Neptune! That should teach me a lesson!

Personally, I think it's funny...and no apologies are required. If you don't want to read it, switch to another thread. We're all big boys and girls here and if you can watch the crap that's on television, then there's nothing wrong with a little ribald humor here. It's not like it's overt and dirty.

Jason,

I agree, the post would have been more appropriate in the Sandbox, rather than in the Imperial. But obviously I didn't (and don't) care all that much about that. After all, it was a vintage appliance as the topic.

Maybe we could let this thread just die gracefully, it will scroll off soon enough, and then only those who troll the archives will know any better ;-)

By The Way....

...that dishwasher was the pre-cursor to the Thermador dishwasher, maker of the 'famous' STEAM MACHINE. At one point it was UNIVERSAL WASTE KING, and then later it was Thermador when Masco owned the company. I would L O V E to see one of these great old machines again. They were noisy and expensive, but got the job done as well or better than the KitchenAid that was available at the time. If I had to choose, it would have been the Waste King! Mark

 

[appnut]

Mark, more expensive than KA? Well, my dad obviously thought it was much better than a KA, if he hadn't, he would have bought the KA instead.

 

[sudsmaster]

Gee, I had a chance to pick up a vintage Waste King dishwasher last month... but was told in chat that they were crap.

The town I grew up in...

Elk Grove Village Illinois had about 400+ homes built between 1961 and 1970 with Waste King appliances. The smaller homes featured a built in cooktop and wall oven, and a disposal, and the larger models added a DW.
I had a few friends who lived in these houses, from what I remember the DW was the first to go, just didn't seem to last that long. On the other hand, the disposals lasted forever!

 

[appnut]

Rich, that particfular model you had a chance at didn't have a full-size spray arm under the top rack, only a pop-up thing and that arrangement was pretty poor. The 2nd spray arm version was much better.

Help!

I recently acquired a Waste King Dishwasher (WSK 3300, approx 1983). The machine works perfectly, but the racks are in poor shape. Does anyone know of a reliable source for parts for these machines? Any leads would really be appreciated.

Thanks!
