I hereby claim a royalties and tax on the use of K in place of C. I invented it for Konrad, the Kosmic Vaccuum cleaner, but that's because Konrad was Cherman. Ravenswing's tax bill is already very large.
Oh dear. I guess that means an even longer un-subscribed time for me... *sobs*firemaiden said:I hereby claim a royalties and tax on the use of K in place of C. I invented it for Konrad, the Kosmic Vaccuum cleaner, but that's because Konrad was Cherman. Ravenswing's tax bill is already very large.
Now I'm inspired. How about...firemaiden said:The Germans have the best words for things. Nothing can beat the German language for kitchen and engineering marvels. Just think about "Staubsauger" dust-sucker....
Incomparable.
Perfectly right. Although kool Chermans of course like to exchange Cs for their Ks (or Zs for that matter). As in "californische Citronen," for example.firemaiden said:Cat* you have the inalienable right to use as many Cherman K's as you wish. Especially in creation of tarot cards like "DER KOSMISCHE STAUBSAUGER"
(did I spell that right?)

"Salatschleuder" (which directly translates to "salad spin-dryer"), "Fleischhammer" (meat hammer), "Spritzbeutel" (squirt bag), "Käsehobel" (cheese plane(r)), "Korkenzieher" (cork puller - interesting how the English emphasis is on getting the metal into the cork whereas German emphasizes getting the cork out of the bottle, isn't it?), "Pürierstab" (puree stick/wand) aka "Stabmixer" (stick/wand mixer - both certainly useful in a tarot deck, no?), "Kühlschrank" (cool(ing) closet/cupboard/cabinet, sorry, kool(ing) kloset/kupboard/kabinet, of course), "Tauchsieder" (dip/dunk boiler), or "Eieruhr" (egg clock).
*wondering if we should we maybe give out "K" koupons to the people who guess the correct English terms for all these utensils WITHOUT dictionaries or image-googling*

And shouldn't it be KOSMIK KITCHEN anyway?
