So I was at work, on my way to scanning in the rebate for the reloading press I just bought when I got caught up in a conversation involving 3 males involving their Dillon or whoever makes them vacuum cleaners. I was a deer in headlights. They were talking how nice the handles attach but how it sucks their attachments are proprietary.

I didn't know what to do. I was about to send in the rebate for $50 so I could throw it back into buying more stuff to try and get a rifle capable of hitting what I aim at, no matter how far it is way.

I was thinking 100 different things, none involving vacuum cleaners, and how the fuck I happened to find myself in this situation.

Since 1970 and the advent of the microwave, things have been downhill, and I'm way to young to be thinking this.

Just thought I would share.

I've been known to get caught up in many conversations about things that suck well, but never vacuum cleaners.
 
I was at Barnes and Noble by the magazine stand (the reading kind of magazines - not the ammunition is bullets type) when three lads were admiring something for being "fast" and "bad ass." I had to peek over their shoulders and see what was so "bad ass" - it was a freaking computer magazine! A Computer magazine! Thats going to transport you around fellas, and in 6 months, something newer and bad ass is going to be available, hell that is in print, there already is something faster. And you will still be walking. The car magazines just don't do it for todays youths I guess.
 
The "Home" called, your bed is ready and your room is clean and padded.

All joking aside, I get the 'gist of your point (I think) being the demise of civilization and the "pussification" of what used to be "America". Many say that it is up to us as individuals to curb the flow, and swing the efforts into a different direction. Speak out, and not let "them" be the only voices heard.

Step out, and bring a novice to the range with you. Actually teach newbies how to shoot, and what it's all about.

Or is it too late to do that, and should we be focusing on another tangent? Anyone remember "shade-tree mechanic'n"? How many know what a 350 small-block is, or what 2.02 heads are? That was a whole other language, entity, and genre back then too, right?

Now it seems to be Jig-a-hurts, Mega-Whacks, and ICPU's and stuff. Or something like that. At least, that is what I think he's talking about. Now back to my padded room. I hear my meds are ready too. They were all out of the little green ones, so they are giving me a blue one and a yellow one instead.

:cool:

LOL this would have been the best reply.

I had one too many whiskies and my girlfriend was at work. Don't act like you've never been there.

Still, I need an escape method for politely distancing myself from uncomfortable conversations involving politics, religion, and other things that I just don't care to discuss at the workplace.
 
I've got a proprietary attachment that can act as a handle, likes to be sucked and fits great into the vacuum operator. The only complaint I have about it is sometimes it makes a mess when it's cleaned manually.





Now if you use that at work you assume full responsibility for the out come. But rest assured you won't get caught up in a conversation about vacuums again.
 
It makes me no less a man to say Dyson vacuums rock. As a seasonally allergic father & dog owner, nothing is better at that job. They're also very cleverly engineered, which is appealing to a tinkerer.

Consider them the Schmidt & Bender of the cleaning world.
 
I have a line of questioning during a interview that I consider the "man chat" before the technical session. If you fail the man chat, the tech session is real quick.

Weed em out boys!
 
I was vacuuming yesterday with a Windtunnel...a windtunnel. I had to go over each carpet 5 times just to get half of the dirt and dog hair up. I couldn't stop thinking about how awesome a Dyson or even a heavy ass Kirby would be at that time. My time is important and I would rather not spend it vacuuming all day.
 
Personally I prefer a big huge shopvac as the preferred vacuum device, rather cheap, and sucks just about anything up. However not having any carpet does help things a bit. (Especially when house training 10 puppies).

You know what, this actually works for me! Great idea! All the people answer they can run a computer, but many people cannot do simple mechanical tasks, which makes me, as sort of the boss, fix crap all day long for people that should be fixin their own problems. "Sir the stapler doesn't work....." Idiots!

Looked at those but opted for the “had been American” that’s now Asian made… It sucks pretty well too… my coworkers had a lot of good things to say about Dyson’s customer service though. I guess mine would be the Weaver, Bushnell or dare I say Leupold of the cleaning world.

Perhaps you could tinker and create a conversion piece making standard vacuum attachments compatible with the Dyson. There's a market there although you may be infringing on a couple patents.
 
Men can discuss machinery, including vacuums. Do none of you single guys have carpeting? I like a clean house, that means someone has to vacuum, and I want a good one.
 
There's a difference in having to use one and getting info, as opposed to trying to hold a casual conversation about a vacuums awesomeness.
 
Another friendly piece of household cleaning advice I learned from a gentleman at work is to go to your local hardware store and pick up a jug of muriatic acid. Dump a moderate amount in the toilet bowl and let it sit for 30min-1hr. After the time has elapsed, take a common household sponge and wipe the bowl down. Within a couple swipes, the bowl will be sparkling clean and the sponge will have disintegrated/melted allowing you to flush the mess away.

Be sure to wear gloves/and or eye protection and to keep animals and small children away from the bowl while its soaking.

It's also handy to keep in stock in case you have to dispose of some bodies in your bathtub. Just be sure to buy it with cash and wear a hoody to stay off store surveillance cameras.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go figure out where I put my medication.

Hold it there woojos. Muriatic acid would do a poor job of disposing of a human body. You need hydrofluoric acid which retains the unique properties of both acid and bases when it comes to human flesh. It will ensure a complete melting.

HF is BADDDDDDDDDD stuff, don't get it on your skin, you be a goner if you don't have the shot to stop it.

We have to school on it every year, part of our production process.
