They look like old knock offs of the big three....

They look like toys.

I believe those are the lost "ass" spoons of the Shankara, last seen in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The three spoons were stolen from small French villages by the worshippers of Ghali-ma in 1930. When the spoons are re-united in the configuration you see above, they spell "ASS", and therein lies their magical powers. post-6-1069831687.gif

laugher.gif Is that the extent of their magic? They just spell "ASS"? Or does some mystical event occur, like a burning ass, the transmogrification of a small supply of geoducks into ample asses for the masses, or perhaps the parting...oh, never mind.

If they make aliens land, I'm buying them.

It looks like it would be perfect for steeping loose tea.

Bedpan for Porkio.
Maturin
I think my granny had a teaspoon like that.
DGLeadbetter
Isn't that one of those bon bon spoons we talked about a while ago?

The pointed spoon looks like a garden hoe.

The little round thing with holes in it looks nice for serving freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Land ho!

Maybe you scrape the sugar cube on it after lighting it on fire. burning_barrel.gif

Looks more like a decorative plug for a tracheotomy.

Maturin-I wonder if you are meant to blow out the fire before grating the sugar cube,grate as fast as you can before the fire reaches your knuckles,or let the
carmelizing sugar drip down your fingers and then use the grater on your hand?

I wish I had one of them gadgets so I could experiment with various methods. wink.gif

By George,I think you've got it!

That reminds me of Dr Lecter's only surviving victim in Hannibal.Someone like that might wear a decorative plug over their tracheotomy. scared.gif

Do you keep your absinthe buried in the backyard to let it age properly?
DGLeadbetter
No silly. He's trying to grow wormwood to build an absinthe cask.

Fabulous idea!

If he builds a few extras he can sell them on eBait.Or perhaps licence them to absintheamurka.
Louched Liver
Absinthe doesn't age around here.
DGLeadbetter
Damn straight .... it barely makes it out of the package.

Or an absinthe casket.
DGLeadbetter
Building an absinthe casket would be a grave undertaking.

DG

At least he's already embalmed.
DGLeadbetter
Pickled, more like it.

sweet pickles bus, more like it.

the spoons look like something made by the Czeckerlands using a water-jet (no joke)
lazer to cut the forms. extra-crappy, flimsy stuff.
'A S' = Filterated Czeckerland Xit strong, starz-o-plenty, shitskanoff, maybe?

Very likely true, or they could have been cut out from a computer controlled milling machine.

You can make a crude CAD drawing, and pop out junk like that quite easy.

With a well done 3D cad drawing and Stereo-lithography, you can create some incredible masters for production. (rapid prototyping is amazing to watch.)

Sell 'em empty.Empties go over well on eBay.

If you decide on a casket instead of casks,why not build a couple to sell?The goth crowd should really get into absinthe caskets.
Felis Catus
How about absinthe with a woodworm in the bottle? Distilled and distributed by
Absentas de Tijuana.Absenta's Verde,Rojo,en Blanca.Made with pure cactus alcohol. Drunk.sml nopity.gif nopity.gif nopity.gif basher.gif

Nah, I don't go in for girly drinks.
Felis Catus
I am just the official distributor of Absentas de Tijuana.I store the bottles in the Attic next to the Absamphe and the home-canned albacore.

FeelThisCatAss Likkers.

I ship the AdT in the appropriately colored Shasta soda bottles.The Absamphe is shipped in Mountain Dew bottles.All are thoroughly wrapped in current Weekly
World News papers.
Felis Catus
I go for girly drinks.Anything with a paper umbrella or a maraschino cherry in it
qualifies.As long as it contains no gin,vodka,or whiskey. Bolt.sml

Catus liqour is in the works.The main ingredients-Catmint and sisel. gawk.gif post-6-1069831645.gif

Water?

And an umbrella.
Grey Boy

DGLeadbetter
Cherry might be too strong ...

DG
Felis Catus
Rum,brandy,tequila,Baileys,Frangelico,Grand Marnier,Creme de Menthe,
Vandermint,Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill.
Felis Catus
Oh yeah,I forgot.

Absinthe.At least 50%.

I only like straight cherry juice as in Juicy Juice or in cherry cola.Go ahead,throw in a cherry and paper umbrella.

I will take my absinthe cocktails minus cherry and umbrella.
