    I showed this to my wife and a few minutes later she shared an ebay listing for the Stelton wood and chrome shakers like the ones used for McCoy’s laser scalpel, and now a pair are headed to us.

    “I was just thinking yesterday we needed better shakers.”

    Ok this set is cute and all, but super unwieldy looking:

    I should not feel a need to use 2 hands for a simple shaker. Being collector’s items, I wouldn’t use them anyway, but that’s beside the point.

      Missed opportunity with the saucer there to actually carry sauce. Separate the saucer section to get the salt and pepper nacelles

      These come out with the good silverware for guests, obviously.

      I feel like a Trekkie collecting those instead of the hourglass ones is like letting Dr. Elsa pick your Holy Grail for you.

      That’s the salt shaker of a low-budget sci-fi show!”

        The cardboard set of a Carpenter. ;) It just occurred to me that Dr. Elsa didn’t just make a mistake in choosing the gaudy one first, did she? She purposely chose it to get rid of that guy who drank from it. Then, she screamed when he became all corpsified and gross, but it was all an act to gain sympathy from the others. ELSA KNEW.

        Appreciate the reference.

        Edit: Had to include this moment.

        Jones Sr. and Jr. are Eskimo brothers.

          Perfect team to get ahead of Elsa’s mind games. After wards, they were inoculated to her Saffron-esque powers. EDIT: look out for STDs, Joneses! Do not wait for your annual checkup.
