Touching Christmas Commericals

[Neesy]

Oh man... I actually really would be. My vacuum cleaner is so screwed that it's almost easier to just walk around picking stuff up by hand. I've never had a new one and yeah... she most certainly would be happier with a hoover.

What hath become of me? *sigh*

Get a little portable lightweight one that is cordless and recharges
Electrolux Ergorapido Deluxe 12 Volts
Mine has a stick handle and a handheld that is attached right on the top so it is like a two in one vacuum. Got it at Sears on sale and I like it. Even my son will use it (as it is on his daily chore list)
For big jobs you'll need a larger motor one but this one is great for every day use to keep the dust and pet hair manageable. It's good on carpets and hardwood floors too!

Yeah, but then you have the expense of license, registration...proof of insurance...too, there's that little regulation that if you were born after 1960 you need the certificate from the course...Neesy is having a garage built to keep hers...so you'd need a garage, one of those overhead doors, a door opener. Where would it end?

I am so confused @Walter Oobleck - what in the world are you talking about? I am talking about a little vacuum cleaner just for picking up the crumbs, sand, pet hair whatever - the kind you can just whip around with and have the whole downstairs floor done in a jiffy?
License? License to vacuum?
And what does this have to do with that dang garage anyway? (Have you been hitting the cooking sherry again Walter?)

I think he was just having a wee joke, Neesy...

Okay - the jokes on him - I'll expect him here bright and early to finish off that garage - it's going down to minus 17 degrees Celsius - yikes! (and that is without the wind chill)

Do I sound garage obsessed ? ? - sorry - I never had a real garage of my own before - never thought it was important - but now - I'm lovin' it! (I love not having to brush the snow and ice off the vehicle - yee haw!)

Where's my camo?

 

[Neesy]

This is not a touching Christmas advert but it is a pretty Christmas picture - reminds me of the covered bridge in NOS4A2

so pretty! I hope it snows on Christmas day! And I hate snow!

Where's my camo?

I never had any camo (being ex Air Force) - just blue uniforms (or pukey green when we had to wear combats out on the range) Tell ya what I'm gonna do Walt - I'll try to take a pic of the garage once they put the door on tomorrow and post it, then you can tell me if they did it right or not (since you are a handyman/carpenter/etc. (oh yeah and ex "hairy bag") - I think that is the correct nickname for Navy guys

Hairy bag?...I dunno, we had "fart sacks" but hairy bag conjures all manner of image none too flattering. Heh! We had deck apes...twiggets...two-digit midgets...push-button thirds...and officers. I have two garage doors to install, myself...but first one old model-A garage needs about 4" of timber removed from its bottom...think of it as a radical weight-loss program...and then it needs to be settled on the crushed mine-rock provided for its new base...then there's this old Bunny Bread garage with old bi-fold garage doors I need to remove...a first for both instances, bi-folds and their removal. Poured some concrete yesterday and I hope it is fine as the weather dropped a degree or two cooler than I would have liked but what are you gonna do? Figured I needed the camo to hide from folk.

There was this once I was standing in line waiting to check out from the doctor's office...leaning against the wall by the potted plant. Older couple comes bee-bopping up the hallway lost in older-couple discussion...passed right by me...I'd been given the person who was checking out enough butt-room to do so? Boot camp they made us stand nutt-to-butt, I dunno, perhaps to show how efficient things could be done. Anyway, the old buck tells his wife, hey, there's someone standing there! I said naw go ahead that's all right that's what I get for wearing camo.

 

[FlakeNoir]

"nutt-to-butt" Oh the mind pictures!
Sorry... carry on.

This is kinda how I pictured it being the book. Thank you

60s Christmas Commercials. The subtitles are what makes this so funny. (Excuse the few bad words...)

I actually remember a couple of those commercials! lol
The hot Dr. Pepper is intriguing... Am I white trash?

I love the WestJet one. Last year's was good too.

I usually find the jewelry store ads annoying but just saw this one and it made me say Awwww!
