The best thing I ever bought

Filed in National by on April 30, 2009

I’m not a big gadget guy and nor am I a consumer, but this Oxo peeler scares potatoes out of their skin.

It is far and away the best thing I ever bought myself.

    c’mon, you bought it for your wife as a mother’s day gift didn’t you?

    You, with you fancy-shmanshy gadgets. We use a rusty nail, and we like it!

    I was wondering why you had a smooth chest and belly for leg hall opening, 2008. I know you’re shaped like a potato and all, but they literally meant to use it ON a potato.

    If I have have a “cribs” type show tour my house I will show them the peeler and the (nearly) finished deck.

    So far this week we’ve had Obama’s 100 days, Markell’s state of the state, Chrysler filing for bankruptcy, swine flu, Sen. Specter, a coup against the BofA chairman, more on torture — and you post about a potato peeler? It’s not like it’s been a slow news week.

    Is this some new type of performance art?

    give him some slack, tommywonk…between the GOP’s shift from smaller government to just straight-up smaller and the subsequent arguing over on DP about it, I think Jason may be mentally drunk.

    It has just been on my mind. Now I can move on.

    Maybe it is in celebration of repubs peeling away.

    We should give a golden one to RSmitty after he sends in his card.

    If you’re that impressed by a potato peeler, you clearly don’t spend enough time in the kitchen. Watch out for your wife to stab you with it.

    The fact that you consider it a mere potato peeler means that there is an unbridgeable chasm between you and I.

    Thanks but no thanks, I eat the skins.

    It’s also Jason’s leg, chest, and back hair scraper!
