You can't turn _everything_ into Wibble...

or can you?




That would definitely be strange, living in a world of Wibbles.

You can if you say it right...

It was best pronounced by Rowan Atkinson in the final show of Black Adder Goes Forth... with underwear on his head on pencils up his nose.


WWWiBBuhL!

Try it, it's fun


All together now!

WIBBBLE!

Do wibbles wobble like weebles, because we all know weebles wooble but they don't fall down...

I don't see why they shouldn't.

Come to think of it, Weebles have the unfortunate size and conical egg shape that makes them a perfect hoover hose blocker! Especially at night when they are not as easy to see!

The Horror!

Ah... Weebles... I remember them...

But they're not that bad... Unless nighthoover is using no attachments they won't get stuck... Plus they don't hurt when you step on them in the dark (unless YOU fall down). What is VERY bad is LEGOs... these will make the most horrendous racket when they hit the agitator and all the way up the tube to the fan and when you step on them in the dark... that's it, your foot is a bloody mess!

Wibble wobble, wibble wobble, jelly on the plate.

Oohh... Jelly (jello stateside) is VERY fun to hoover!


SSSLLSLLLURRPP!!!

Hmmmm. Things that are fun to hoover...

Tissues? (They make a great sound)

Marbles? (They make a great racket!)

Sand? (A great feeling of accomplishment.)

Has anyone ever seen the demonstration of a bowling ball being picked up with a hoover? Usually you get attracted to the booth by the beach ball hovering over a hose attached to the *blow* side of the machine.

I did once take a wet/dry vac and put the nozzle up to the out vent. Once I found the correct distance it hit a resonance and made the neatest "WWHHOOOOOMMMM"ing sound. It was also kinda like since I was sucking what I was blowing... I was where I was going... Ohhmm... WHHOooohhhmm!

*pointed ignores all the possible double entendres generated from that post*

*pointedly

I was hoovered up once, was not the most plesent experiance ever, though it has to be better than the time I was covered from head to toe in lard and rolled over hot sand, and then set alight.

well, ok... I didn't know how else to put it...

Teh intake and exhaust were one... nope.. still sounds dirty,
technical, but dirty...

Teh flow was one big cirlce... Um... nah...

The vacuum was turned upon itself... confusing and not of the right tone.

I stuck the sucky thing up to the blowy thing ok? and I don't care how it sounds.

reply to lantheta...

!!!

Lanthetta, don't you just hate it when that happens?

Now, that is odd, it seems only like ysterday when something very simular to that which occured to Lantheta occured to myself.
Now, lettuce see.
Yes, that it is, it was yesterday, and I was walking down the road, as one might do in a kind of walking-down-the-road kind of way, and I saw a leaf, blowing down the street, and, well, there it is, quite simular I think Youl agree, and more than a little disturbing, I was quite not myself for the rest of the day, in fact, for some of the time I think I thought I was Raymond Blanche, and, yes, that was, it, later on still, I think I thought I was Linda Smith, you see, I really didn't feel like myself, for quite some time, and well, yes.

I see what you mean...
Leaves do the strangest things to your mind, don't they?
