It is turning out to be one of those days...our wash machine (a 1996
Whirlpool top-loader; model #LSC8244DQ0) started leaking underneath the
unit this morning. The leak appears to run continuously (the machine
was still dripping after turning it off), resulting in a *very* large
puddle in our laundry room.

Is the tub inside still full of water?

If so, take a piece of garden hose, fill it with water, and siphon the
water in the washing machine into your washtub.

Or bail it out with various containers.
