but it was the way it was painted - with panda markings - which made it so odd.
Piebald pachyderms: is it phenotypically possible? Not sure I've ever herd of it, but, it
feels possible...old-school elephantal harlequinery? Concentrate on imagining one, and you can squeeze-out a whole stampede of 'em.
Those teaspoons are up to something
The teaspoons are frequently stirrers. They should have a taste of their own medicine, for a change.
Soup-spoons often get themselves into hot water. They're often missing from the official line-up upon the tablecloth, and are then spirited into the room on a plate. They are the Special Forces of spoons, often being dropped behind enemy lines, so as to cause maximum confusion (hiding under serviettes and xmas cracker).
It's not commonly realised, but if you put a soup-spoon beside a napkin ring (almost eradicated now, thanks to the good efforts of the World Health Organisation & the Bristol Assey Office) the weak covalent bonds at an atomic level within the EPNS nickel plating become magnified so much that they are increased....perhaps.
(If napkin rings aren't used as neckerchief woggles by robot members of the Scouting movement, then a great opportunity is being lost)
Oi! Don't you be slagging of the Dicker Max, Hetzer, or SU -100 Thank you very much!
Umm, no, I certainly wasn't going along those tracks, perhaps I was thinking more of the Abbot. Anyway, back to robots & cutlery....the best self-propelled gun is a Dalek. And if a Dalek had to have any spoon attached to it's non-gun arm, it would be a large scooping dessert serving spoon. But I blame Brussels for that....
