We had a sucker fish (plecostomus) in our fish tank when I was growing up. You know, the kind that would hang on the side of the glass? We named him "Hoover". (If, indeed he was a "he"...) | ||

When I was in high school, I took Drama for two years. It was one of the few classrooms that was carpeted. This would have been 1978. There was a brown Model G Electrolux (straight suction / no power nozzle) in the classroom. His name was "Homer". If you got to class after the bell rang, you had to "Homer" the rug for a minute or two. No one ever changed Homer's bag. They had the automatic control set at six. Of course, Homer was very quiet in operation because the bag was so full. They were using the floor brush side of the nozzle, since there wasn't enough suction to use the rug side. One day, I brought in a new bag. My Aunt had a Model Automatic F (with PN-1 - very rare for the time), and I asked her for a new bag. Homer's front door was taped shut so he wouldn't open up (they thought he was broken). With the new bag, Homer sucked and sucked for about ten minutes - until the new bag was sufficiently clogged with all the fine dust that had been accumulating in the carpets for years. Then, he triumphantly popped open again. Out came the tape, and I think that was the last new bag he ever got.

My Model 519 Kirby is sometimes referred to as "Old Red" because of the color of the trim and the attachments. "Old" , because it IS old. | ||

"Hoover 63:J Edgar" You might be interested to know that one biography of J E Hoover included an inventory list from I think the estate auction.It did include 'Hoover vacuum'among lots of serious art & antiques. | ||

I'm terribly afraid that my voices have returned, and they are compelling me to name this Kirby THE GREAT KUBLA KHAN! Now, I must remind the reader that this is totally involuntary on my behalf...for I have lost all control!

I mostly use the legal name my vacuum was born to be "Kirby". I do how ever refer to "her" as my muscle building machine as "She" is a Heritage II or old reliable. And oh by the way "She" still performs great and there for my daily driver and best friend. | ||

Cuffs054... why would you call a wonderful, powerful, durable Oreck a "piece of ****" that would be like me calling a hoover a "piece of ****" | ||
