My Mate Bob - What Did I Ever Do Before Him?

[anthony]

Who is Bob, the obvious first question. Well... Bob is our new iRobot (roomba) model that @Nicolette brought home last night.

Me: What do we need that shit for?
Nicolette: Shut up, I got it at a third of the price.
Me: What a waste of money.
Nicolette: Shut up and try it.
Me: Got a vacuum cleaner already, what the hell?
Nicolette: Shut up and try it.

Bob is unpacked and tried.

Nicolette: So now what do you think?
Me: f*ck me... we have to name it.
Nicolette: What do you want to say to me?
Me: Sorry sweetheart, this shit rocks.
Nicolette: Say it again!
Me: Sorry sweetheart, awesome decision.
Nicolette: Damn straight... kiss me and shutup.
Me: Yes dear.
Nicolette: Hmmmm... idea, idea, idea, Bob, idea, idea...
Me: Can we think on it?
Nicolette: Sure...

This morning...

Me: OK... Bob sounds good.
Nicolette: Again, kiss me and shutup.
Me: Yes dear.

Bob is f*ckin awesome... OMFG... I go walk dogs, bedroom, lounge, dining, kitchen all vacuumed amazingly.

Then leave dogs with Bob later on, go get groceries for dinner. Come home and hall, other bathroom, other two bedrooms, all vacuumed.

Wholly f*ck... Bob has some serious weight to him that picks up shit that our Dyson hasn't.

@Nicolette has now set a very bad precedent, as when Bob needs to retire, Bob2 must be purchased and used.

Best thing EVER for someone with PTSD - Bob (iRobot Roomba)

My Roomba (Daisy) was the best at picking up cat fur, far better than my Henry vacuum.

However, unlike the online videos of cats riding them, my cat was terrified!

Just make sure Bob doesn't suck up the dogs :p

Thanks for making me laugh at 2:30 in the morning, instead of ruminating over things I can't change !!! Can't wait for the family photo !!!

Are you going to change your custom line to "3 princesses and a prince to love"....?

LOL.

Eh, maybe not. The princesses would be rightfully upset!

 

[anthony]

3 princesses & Bob!

Trying to resist urge to embed a Frank Zappa song about a household appliance.

Heh, Anthony's now "Lord of the Manor" ... with his three princesses and his automated "man servant" Bob. It was a funny post to read, made me smile.
