$522 for a vacuum cleaner

[Dawgfan]

I don't remember the part in Top Gun where Tom Cruise buys his wife a Dyson DC17 Animal vacuum. What has happened to me?

You have wings, so I am giving you the benefit of the doubt. WTF are you talking about?

The de-masculation that has occured since tying the knot. I would never have conceived that it was possible to spend that kind of money on a vacuum. In all seriousness, it does a pretty incredible job. I guess the dude really does like things that just work properly.

I got dragged to pottery barn, but I did not post about it on AW or try to tie it into TopGun...

Plus, $599 isn't all that bad for floor sucker....

The Hoover Mach 5 is a reasonably priced alternative using the same technology. Of course, with the missus Dyson carries considerably more cachet than Hoover.

Expensive Hookers?

Blow. Doesn't need to be prefaced with expensive...

First expensive watches, now expensive vacuum cleaners.

What's next?

Expensive Huggies. Diapers are a rip off.

There's actually something you did not post about on AW?

In his defense, I think all married men have been pulled into a restorationpotterypierandbarrell at somepoint in their lives.

Regarding the Dyson:
"It certainly does suck!"

Pampered Chef - nuff said (they do have some really cool stuff though.)

Yeah, and the little man keeps growing out of the shit I buy. Oh well, I have a son. Nothing more a man can ask for Life is good.

Nothing more a man can ask for

As a completely unfettered man, I beg to differ.

At least you didn't get one of those Kirbys for like $1000. I did get their salesmen to clean my house monthy when I was in Corpus, though. I have a Dyson, but those stainless steel Kirbys always seemed cool. Paying a price for a vacuum that could buy you a perfectly good jalopy seems excessive.
