I'm so amused by all of the American sellers on ebay who list their cutlery as "Rostfrei" as if it were a brand name. It just means "rust free" and it's embedded in all kinds of goofy looking stainless cutlery.

Yet, they think they have got a real find, it's ROSTFREI, for God's sake, Buy It Now!, what are you waiting for?!?!

OK, my moment is over, back to real design.

I like that other manufacturer of high-quality cutlery, "INOX".

That reminds me of a passage from Man Ray's autobiography--
When he was fresh off the boat in Paris, and staying at a hotel, he'd tell acquaintances that he was residing at the "Hotel Meuble", as he thought the name very distinguished- sounding.
(Until he noticed that many hotels in Paris bore the same sign, meaning "Furnished Hotel".)

Oh, y'all
the best was an article in the local paper here about a month ago about a tourist couple who were headed to the Isle of Capri. However, they typed "Carpi" into their Garmin and ended up, like, 400 miles off course.

The recent
obituary in the NY Times of Mollie Sugden, known to viewers of BBC's "Are You Being Served ?," made mention of her hair. "Lavishly upholstered and quaffed, with hair that changed color with each episode. . ." Drunk ? Perhaps the writer had never had to worry about his coiffure. . .!
