dust sucker upper
« on: March 15, 2005, 04:26:46 pm »
in this day and age, can we not develop some home device to suck up dust and prevent me from dusting my room every two weeks?  Has anyone seen anything like this that works?  There was a movie I saw about 10 years ago where some traveling salesman was selling these things door to door and he took one to a crusty, beat up, filthy redneck house somewhere, turned it on, and it cleaned, organzied, and completely transformed the whole inside of the house.  The redneck was so impressed that he pulled a shotgun on the salesman and stole the device instead of buying one.  Anyone seen that movie?  Can I buy one of those somewhere?  If not, maybe just something to suck up the dust in my room?

like a magnet!  like an air purifier, something I can turn on and play video games while it does all the work.

I gots me one of these and it's awesome.  You kinda have to wait for the dust to find the floor though:

If I stuck some fur on it, it would BE the dog in my house.  I tell ya, it's the best money I ever spent, I can't STAND food sticking to the bottom of my feet in the kitchen, it just drives me nuts.  This fella keeps almost everything off the floor in all the rooms on the main level.  I almost think I could teach it to climb stairs... Long live trippy!

Yeah I have one of those. Her name is Annette Bones.

How much do one of those cost, do you accept paypal, and how much will shipping be?

If it gets beer, I'm willing to pay double ;D

Man I couldn't sell her, I love her too much. I would be willing to trade her on a 999R Ducati though....

In return you get a large breasted enthusiastic blonde who loves F1 and yes, will not only fetch the beer, but stock-take it and maintain the inventory levels on a regular basis.

You get the bike to Australia and then we talk.
