Sharp as a Marble
HomeAboutContactSyndicationLogin
 

The Mrs. has decided that when we get the new kitchen, my 1970's Tupperware Sugar Container has to go. I grew up with this thing. It was how I poured sugar on my cornflakes as a child, it was how I put sugar in my coffee as I grew up. I had to use my cunning wits to pry it away from my Dad and his wife (I bought them a new sugar container and "Hey, since you don't need that old one any more!" - She now regrets the swap).

Sure, it's ugly as sin. Sure it's a color that went out of style with disco. But it's my sugar container...

and I love it.

Dude, it's been YEARS since I've seen one of those. My grandmother had one somewhere. I think she still does have it...

Well, how much do you love that sugar container? If you can pull a, "I'll get rid of the sugar container if you lift this year's firearm restriction and let me purchase that .50 BMG", would you do it?

Then sell it on eBay to one of your readers for 5 bucks, and a few days after new firearm is in your possession we'll send it back and claim it was defective or something. Sleep on the sofa for a few days and whammo ... Wake up, head to your new kitchen, pour sugar on your cornflakes for breakfast and then head to the range!

It's FOOLPROOF! ;-)

We had one of those when I was a kid. I haven't seen it in about two decades, but not a day goes by when I don't think about it.

Well, okay, probably a day once in a while.

Actually, now that you mention it, I hadn't thought about it in twenty years.

But now I miss it and wonder what ever happened to it. I hope it's found a nice home.

I remember those! We didn't have one, but relatives and friends did. Don't get rid of it. Bury it in the backyard if you have to.

I think my parents still have the one I grew up with. I don't think my wife would agree to having it in the house. They really are an excellent design.
