New Blog Template!

May 26th. Got a new blog template that I envision to be the be-all and end-all of blog design, but there will be a gradual phasing in of links and whatnot. I could have done all this offline and popped it in when perfected, but I already accidentally burned that bridge (long story) It will be quite cool when done, but of course that will exceed my attention span several times over, so bear with me.

Giant Knife and Fork going the way of the dodo bird??

giant plastic knife and fork set A popular item, we only have a few of these “Giant Knife and Fork” sets left.

The distributor tells me that the word on the street is that the machine is broken and the manufacturer is trying to scrounge up parts. I have the impression that it is a very old, one of a kind machine, perhaps with lots of cast iron, maybe some greasy old glass indicators you can’t hardly read anymore, only an old guy named Henry knows how to make the forks come out perfectly. Alas, Henry’s improvised repairs just aren’t enough to keep the old girl running.

But I digress. I hope they don’t go the way of Gheradelli Flicks candy, I loved those as a kid, but I read that the packaging machine they used finally broke, and wasn’t cost effective to fix. This puzzled me because Flicks were basically giant chocolate chips wrapped in a large cardboard tube with a foil wrapper. How hard is that? Gosh, now I’m hungry.

Anyway, we are in constant contact with the supply chain, utilizing our core competencies or whatever, we’ll keep you posted on new developments.

Gross and disgusting food you can make at home!

That’s not what I “mint”

A spokesperson for the U.S. Mint announced that a new
fifty-cent piece was being issued to honor two great American
patriots. On one side of the coin would be Theodore Roosevelt,
on the other, Nathan Hale.

Asked why two people were going to be on the same coin, the
official replied, … “Now, when you have a coin toss, you can
simply call “Teds, or Hales!”


Not to be confused with our gubment-grade Two-headed Quarter - Machined from real quarters and edge-finished.
