I like to call this one the little window peepshow. There's nothin' which smells any better than a fine, vintage piece of equipment. Well, with the exception of just one other thing that is.  

Bingo!!! Give CharlesKirby66 a cigar...Your the MAN and part of the VCCC intelligentsia, highbrow elites!!! Yes, this "Thread " is rich with metaphors, figures of speech, and so forth and so on just as its title suggests. Now, perhaps, we can have a little exercise in allegories and...

I can see how that could be construed that way, but for me it takes a fine geriatric Kirby to get the old torpedo racing! 

" too much of anything can be bad for us." And there lies the problem. Remember back in the day when a loaf of bread actually went stale. Now the stuff is like the food of the gods -- it stays fresh for an eternity with all that bleach, sugar, super packed gluten, and all the other little...

Gluten, gluten, and even more gluten! If you just only knew how it's rotting your guts you wouldn't even think about gluten any more! It's pure poison, poison I say!!! Your poor little villi after years of abuse will turn into cancerous polyps if your not careful! 

Man, if you don't use it you will lose it! Best start doing what this video shows...it's never too late, so do it!

I'm sorry! I forgot to post the 8-Track, how dumb of me!

I'm more of a Rodney Dangerfield man myself. My friend's son worked for him for many years. I actually passed a couple of my jokes to him via his son, which he liked very much. Particularly the one about the man who entered a three legged race by himself, and at the end thereof he poll vaulted...

s31463221, I couldn't agree with you more! Alex as well as the interviewer preformed a masterful job in articulating the subject matter. It was done very tastefully and respectfully and, indeed, the article presented itself with a whole lot of class.  I don't believe anybody could've done a...

This is one little pixie I sure wouldn't mind being swept away by...Like forever! 

Well done, Alex! http://vacuum-cleaner-advisor.com

Perhaps, a funeral fire is in order? Indeed, that should take care of its vile nastiness. Whatever you decide, as always, Best of Luck

After reading the Sardinia report, I refuse to eat any more olive oil, even extra virgin cooled pressed, on account, that any and all bottled oil will, in fact, oxidize. And as we all know oxidation will destroy wherever an artery makes a right angle turn in the circulatory system, because the...

You see, Alex,  you just proved my point again! Your not only an avid collector and VCCC cofounder, your an historian!  You know the machines and there history better than just about anyone I know. And there's a lot on here which knows a great deal, and that's saying something!

Well, Alex, I have read a great many of your posts and they have always been quite informative. You just don't know about the machines, you know about their history also, and if someone is earnestly seeking information, your always there with the right answer. What you've done is combined your...

Nigel, I'll assure you that you'll find no greater encyclopedia of vintage vacuum cleaner information in all of the vast, wide, wide world then that of the before mentioned Mr. Alex Taber. If vacuum cleaner wisdom you seek, you came to the right place!  

If you just added a little sweet milk, butter, flour, and just a tad bit of sugar to those green beans they would've tasted more better...just saying. And, please, don't forget some finely diced onions!

...Ouch Sailor!

Great story, Alex! Many thanks again for reposting it!

It looks like MJ needs to be posting some photos...like real soon, you big winner you!
