Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

If I only had a brain...

Well, POO. Scoobas shouldn;t be used on wood floors; my kitchen floor is wood.

Tip: When using Scooba on sealed hardwood floors, inspect the floor surface for worn finish, bare wood, or separated and unsealed joints. Do not use Scooba on your hardwood floor if any of these conditions exist.

Up yours, Scooba, and your little dog's too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

the thing where it goes back to its wee home base when the battery runs low is the coolest thing evar.

Aha. This is where I think problems will arise, when it tries to get home, but your cat is between it and its base and desperation sets in.

God forbid it learns to knock the cat unconscious as a preventative measure.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

But is it more different than just having the scheduling capability?

No idea. (Seriously, all I did was count the dots. I = lazy.)

But the Scooba could do my whole apartment if I picked up the thow rugs in the hallway before I turned it on.

Fortunately, the sun never sets on the Google empire. It's always bright.

Damn I'd like a Scooba. Our kitchen and dining room needs floor cleaning like every two hours.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Ah, okay. I don't want one with no Max Cleaning mode - other than that, anything between the red and scheduler would do it for me. I am so buying one of these.

I bet Leif and Emaryn would like one too...

I think hiring someone to wash my kitchen floor at $10 an hour once a week would be as effective as a Scooba, if less cool. Damn this waiting around until the kids are old enough to be useful as manual domestic labor... I think I have at least 4 years to wait.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Tip: When using Scooba on sealed hardwood floors, inspect the floor surface for worn finish, bare wood, or separated and unsealed joints. Do not use Scooba on your hardwood floor if any of these conditions exist.

Oh. Forget it, then. My kitchen and bathroom are, combined, probably the size of the average US bathroom. Everything else is slightly-crappy hardwood.
