I’m not sure why it is that our household has all the power tools that the Testerfolk borrow, and theirs has all the carpet cleaning tools that we borrow, but I’m glad of the latter, at least. Thanks to J&D’s Bissel carpet cleaner, we now have cleaner carpet — a distinct shade of brown, as opposed to greyish tan.
Just in time for (and, of course, driven by) the return of our couch and chair from the upholsterer.
(Note to self: We need two bottles of carpet cleaning liquid to do the main traffic areas, not one. Though even just running it on “Rinse with Hot Water” picked up a hell of a lot of dirt.)

Whit Bissel! 🙂
Heh. Remember when we went to see The Creature from the Black Lagoon and It Came from Outer Space in 3-D? Boy, I sure miss the good old days.
Ten bonus points if you can remember what it was that you said “Whit Bissel” always sounded like to you.
(The carpet-cleaning company is actually Bissell, with two Ls. My bad. But so is the actor.)
Yuppers, I remember the movie. Don’t remember the quote.
But I still have a fondness for good ol’ Whit Bissell.
You said that, to you, his name always sounds like “wet your whistle.”
Wow. 257 entries on IMDB! Of course, to me, he’ll always be Commander Lurry, from “The Trouble with Tribbles.”
Probably so — though his role in Creature of the Black Lagoon was deeply moving (“Mmmrph! MMMRRMRRPRHHHH!!!!”), and his regular star position in Time Tunnel was a great influence in my childhood.
