Dyson Vacuum Cleaner


I have 5 Dyson vacuum cleaners in great condition.DC17 Animal-$350,DC07 All Floors-$200
DC Absolute Asthma and Allergy-$300,DC17 Absolute-$300 and an All Floors-
$200.

Because the only place better than your backyard to take a picture of vacuum cleaners is in a parking lot.

In my mind, the vacuum cleaners are racing each other. The yellow one is clearly winning in both pictures. Go yellow! Whoo-hoo!!!!

I won’t even get into the deep, existential questions this post brings up, such as “Why do you have five Dyson vacuum cleaners?” Some mysteries are just better left unexplored.

    more interestingly, the vacuums on the right have no shadows. Vampire Vacuums!

        Not only does it suck, but it sucks longer and harder because of the Dyson bag-less and ball technology. Yea, you heard me, ball.

    Makes your wonder if they were displays or something from a retail store. This picture was taken just before the employee loaded them into his truck.

    Wouldn’t it have been easier to simply say that he/she had TWO All Floors . . . ?

    I can actually think of a logical reason for multiple vacuums. During summer move-out days in the dorms, the spoiled rich kids throw out a lot of their stuff. I myself dug out no less than ten vacuum cleaners from the dumpsters last summer. I kept one for my own use, but I did consider selling the extras for cash. I should have thought of Craigslist!

    Back in the day you could sell multiple vacuum cleaners even when your ad’s title suggests that you only have one. Ah, those were the days my friends.

    p.s. The drag race is in back of Hooper’s store. Don’t tell Big Bird, he’ll sing like a canary. I have $20 on the Absolute Asthma and Allergy.

      Oooh, sorry… I’d have to go with the ‘All-Floors’. I think it’ll handle the tight corners and speed bumps better.

        The Animal, definitely. It takes those straightaways like a wild thing.

      I’m going with the animal, although I don’t think I want a vacuum cleans in my house called “animal”. I already have enough of those.

      There is no way that Asthma and Allergy will take the crown. Animal was talking some smack and you could literally see Asthma and Allergy shaking in his boots after being told he was going to “eat some dust”.

          I thought Saturdays were the clean up days in the corner. You know, wash the windows, sweep and vac… I see where you’re going. It’s a slippery slope, young lady. Where will it end? What would you call a Human/Vacuum hybrid anyway? Humuum? Vacan? Brittney Spears?

    I know there’s some movie with a famous dance scene of someone and a broom. This would be the modern version, someone dancing in front of a line of vacuums.

      Hey I get to [corey] on something I know…whoohoo! Ahem, *cough, clears throat*: Fred Astaire danced with a vacuum. Or rather, Dirt Devil superimposed their vacuum in his dance sequences from ‘Royal Wedding’. Gene Kelly is the one that danced with a mop and a broom, (and I had to look this part up) in ‘Thousands Cheer’. [/corey]

      All those years of being teased for preferring to watch musicals, and it finally came in handy. It’s like having useless trivia stuffed in your brain, and one day, it helps you win a game of Trivia Pursuit.

        He also danced with a toupee because he was bald even as a young man. Talk about a well stuck on toupee. A good one too, most people never knew it. Before he got his start, someone auditioning him said he couldn’t dance and was bald, hence no dice. Well they didn’t say no dice as far as I know, I just like that phrase.
