Finally, I Can Open My Nachos In Style!

[cb123]

I found these Italian shears, I think they could be early twentieth century - not entirely sure, though, but really nicely done and quite decorative.

 

[suckolux]

Wow, clipping in style! Landlady had some smaller ones looked like that, she traveled a LOT! She said they were for clipping grapes! But these do look bigger. Very nice.

 

[super-sweeper]

THAT'S what those are for!? We've had this ancient pair of 'grape clippers' for years, we've always thought they were toenail clippers! We used them on the dog for years! 

 

[cb123]

Thanks, they do rather look like a lawn implement. The shears are ten 1/2 inches and have a pretty good weight to them, also.

 

[cb123]

Yeah Alex, they look really good for digging out ingrown toenails and picking teeth, in just that order! Way down south, we like to call this kind of medicine " A little in home Private Practice " or much rather malpractice, but sadly now, that's about all the doctoring we can afford.

   

 

[super-sweeper]

LOL, maybe my Handi-Butler dental-drill kit would be a hit in the South! 

 

[suckolux]

Oh you guys!

 

[cb123]

Alex, don't you know KIRBY just about has a tool for everything under the sun! I don't know why Nobel hasn't issued James Kirby an honorary peace prize, yet!

   

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Well thank GOD you're no longer opening your nachos

with common, ordinary scissors! only the very best will do.
I'm surprised Kirby doesn't make a 'nacho-butler',, or snack-emtor. Maybe THAT'S a new and exciting feature on the new introduction... made with metal, of course.

(I'm just waiting for the comments.) Do I bash??? I most certainly do not.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

And, just for the very fw who 'got that'

thanks . Because everyone knows, I know how to serve snacks...

 

[super-sweeper]

John, you got some ideas in my head rolling, I should make the 'Nacho-Butler' a thing, now! I'm not saying any of the ideas, just in case I do! 

 

[crevicetool]

Those are poultry shears...

They are still around, but were a big deal back in the day and often sold with and matched one's table cutlery/flatware.

 

[suckolux]

Very easily could be!

 

[danemodsandy]

Crevicetool is Right:

Those are poultry shears; they were used for disjointing roast fowl of all types - chicken, duck, goose, etc.

When I was in the housewares biz and taught cooking (several eons ago), I would sell a pair of these occasionally. The customer was always someone elderly, who had grown up with them.

They are very powerful and will go through the joints on a bird with ease.

 

[marks_here]

And also some people too! OOOOOPPSS. He hehaha

 

[cb123]

MAN! And I wrongly thought they were for opening up ribcages down at the county morgue. How could I be so wrong?!

 


I agree, with that angry looking serrated blade, it pretty much can cut thru bone, cartilage, sinew, carbon steel! It's gotta be poultry shears.    

 

[super-sweeper]

....wonder if it works on Dysons......MUHAHAHAHA! 


 


No, even I wouldn't do that! Calem, though....

 

[cb123]

......YES I WOULD, YES INDEED!!!

 

[tolivac]

Hunting supply catalogs shell game breakdown shears like those.And yes,versions were used in autopys-a bit larger!!

 

[cb123]

Muhahahahaha! I just knew it...I felt it in my bones.

 

[vacosaurus]

Yes those are poultry shears. Another good use for them is to take them to the all you can eat crab leg resturant. you can easily cut the full lenght of the crab leg and easily pull out the meat.

 

[cb123]

Or to cut the power cords from those cheap plastic explosive vacs when they finally explode! Hey Bill, some zealots pray towards Mecca, but Vacuumlanders pray towards Cleveland!

 

 

[gottahaveahoove]

and, for a century..........

North Canton.

 

[super-sweeper]

Let's just say OHIO is vacuumland's FAVORITE state! 

 

[cb123]

Alex, I beginning to think John prays towards Medina! Now, we have to impose a hefty vacuum cleaner tax upon him, as upon all other vacuum infidels. If they do not convert to THE GREAT KIRBYRAMA, they shall all be doomed!

 

[super-sweeper]

No, they must live in peace and harmony with us! 

 

[cb123]

PEACE! There can be no peace. There can only be annihilation, obliteration upon the nefarious dominion of those evil cheap plastic explosive vacs! Alex, the dove of peace has been set upon by the falcon. There can be no peace, until they all lie in pieces. Now it is time for me to conduct my most sinister of laughs.....MUHAHAHAHAHAHA! 

 

 

[super-sweeper]

Remember, Calem, we're Allies with North Cantom, Bloomington, Toledo and etc! Sure, China is invading, but they can't beat American steel! 

 

[cb123]

Fix bayonets! Now, at the double-quick lets get into the trenches with'em and giv'em two foot of the cold steel in their yellow bellies with a twist! Blood for blood, Death for death, Death to the evil Axis of cheap plastic explosive vacs!

 


May Long Live The Great KIRBY Republic!
