Blog Guy, I have a cooking question. How do you handle the pesky chore of skinning your snakes?
It’s easy, with the Williams-Sonoma Deluxe Snake Skinner, $4,299.99. I recommend the outdoor model.
Yikes! You’ve written before about those specialty kitchen gadgets they sell, but this price seems really steep.
Well, it does come with a deluxe guy who holds one end of the snake in his mouth. That’s not cheap.
Listen, as long as you’re answering questions, how do you dispose of watermelons?
I use the Williams-Sonoma Deluxe Watermelon Goat-erizer, $1,299.99.
That’s a LOT of money. I gather it comes with a goat?
A deluxe goat, yes.
One other thing. Now that summer is here, I need new cornholders. I’m almost afraid to ask…
You guessed it. Williams-Sonoma Deluxe Digital Cornholders, $62,299.99.
Okay, now that’s just ridiculous. How could cornholders cost that much?
They come with a presidential candidate.
Oh. A deluxe one, I suppose?
Do I look like The Fricking Answer Man? Order it and see for yourself.

OK, that first pic, definitely made me feel sick.. and though I really dont have any business in Mumbai.. I will add this to my list of NEVER having to do any business in Mumbai…
My goat is much better looking.
Of course, the first $50,000 of that corn holder is contributed directly to the Romney campaign…
_Who_ exactly is the CEO of AgVision? Is it a sentient piece of paper, a sentient office chair, disguised as a painting on the wall, or invisible? In all cases, it’s looking on very intently.
…and I thought my Williams-Sonoma Deluxe Garlic Press was really something.
I always thought that ‘skinning a snake’ had a far different meaning…
My bad!
Wow, I’m with Shra on this one–will never go near that beach in Mumbai. I hate to think what they do if they skin a cat. Ick.
They do several things, Slick. It turns out there’s more than one way to skin a cat.
The first pic killed my apatite for today, thanks for help in my efforts to do some dieting, BG
When you think about it, $62,299.99 is pretty reasonable for a government contracted digital Z. Mays retainer and nutrition induction enabling device, especially considering the tech development and cost overruns. Of course, you have to order a million of them to get that price…
You call that a “deluxe” goat? It doesn’t even have horns!
Or, as they’re known in Wales, “Ooh, sheep with handles”.
@Dave, is that justCAMs goat?
C’mon now CrowGirl, a goat without horns is absolutely a deluxe model.
I’m just gobsmacked the sheep with handles comment made it past Mr Spam Filter…
Mr. Spam Filter trusts you, Crow, and indeed trusts almost everybody in Wales. Should he change his opinion?
Oh, great, as if I don’t have enough on my conscience.
This is really sick! I can’t imagine biting a live snake while skinning it?
