I once met a ‘bot named Roomba:
O’er here and there it went zoom-ba!
I watched it zig and a-zag,
Suck up all but the shag;
And it made my heart go boom-ba!
Yesterday, I bonded with our new Roomba Discovery which Yoshi’s mom got us for the holidays. A Roomba!
Yoshi had actually set it up a couple of nights ago & started it on a cycle, but I was kind of afraid of it at the time. I kept running away from it, even though I was trying to take a picture of it. (I wonder why all those pictures came out blurry?) Anyway, yesterday was Joz & Roomba Bonding Day™ and I played with that thing for like two hours & I’m no longer afraid of it. I dare say I am swooning over it. Hey, I just wrote poetry about the Roomba; that’s gotta count for something!
We had toyed with the idea of returning the Roomba since it was a very extravagant gift that we didn’t really need, but that little sucker picked up a whole lot of dust that I didn’t know we had. Plus it’s already kind of dented from when I was controlling the Roomba with the remote and it crashed into a few things kind of hard.
I think our Roomba needs a name. Any suggestions?
P.S. - The Roomba told me that it would make it really happy if you would vote for jozjozjoz for Best Overall Blog in the Best of Blogs Awards!*
*May not be an accurate translation of what Roomba was saying. jozjozjoz is not exactly fluent in what Roomba says.
I have a Rachel. She appears every other Wednesday like magic! She has yet to inspire me to pen any verse though.
So, it’s a vacuum that you can just leave running, or what?
That’s so cool! I want one. If nothing else, it’d make the dogs crazy.

….the fact that you are having conversations with a vacuum deeply worries me.
I only have a hoover, however he thinks your blog is swell (he talks funny that way) and he thinks your blog friends should rush over and vote for you.
Yes, I am fluent in all sucking up talk.
okay so you are pleased with the roomba, yeah? I WANT one… I watch the infomercials and think - damn… who needs a man…
I want a Roomba! It looks soooo cool and I am such a product whore!
I’m bad at naming things. I named a cat Macho and now he thinks he’s king of the pack.
Rooben.
Brent and I want a Roomba, too! I’m happy to hear you love it so much.
I like Mikey2’s name suggestion. I can’t really top that. On a similar note, though, maybe Roody?
Oh, and of course I voted.
i am so jealous…i want one!!! i will own one one day, and i think i will name it marvin.
I am still scared of that thing! When I saw it recharging last night it was pulsating red with its own little life force.
If I could bond with it, though, the cats would absolutely go batty over it. Not sure if they would run & hide for a week or jump it, but it would be fun to watch!
Received a red roomba for Christmas and have used it alot and find it really does pick up dust etc.
very well
Would recommend it for anyone who needs help with their cleaning or anyone who wants to have a little fun
