I have almost everything a girl could possibly want.
I live in a groovy apartment in a hip 'n' swingin' neighborhood in one of the happeningest cities on the planet (I hear Jupiter is pretty cool, but it's too far from my favorite restaurants). I have my health. I have a fella who adores me and thinks I'm cute even when I know I look like something my cat would drag in (if only she were allowed outside). I have a dog who is better-lookin' than Johnny Depp. I have friends, online and off, who laugh at (no, I mean with) me. I have parents who encourage my freakishness, a nephew I absolutely adore, a sister who's the coolest chick on this (or any) planet, and a brother whom I would marry if only it wasn't illegal or just plain ol' sick.
What I don't have, however, is this.
I suppose Mick Jagger was right, after all.

Offered by: mamanita on July 9, 2002 9:03 PMI was going to mention the similarity to chopsticks, but someone beat me to it.
It reminds me of the very innovative solution that my 2-year-old granddaughter came up with in a chinese restaurant. She bent a drinking straw in two, then placed her hand around the apex to manipulate the two ends in a chopstick-like fashion.
Amazing.
Offered by: JEfromCanada on July 8, 2002 11:47 AMThose popcorn forks look suspiciously like the "starter chopsticks" at your more commercialized Chinese restaurants.
Also, I noticed the dipping cup in front has a substance that looks like either maple syrup or Southern Comfort (I often confuse those two, proving for countless hours of amusement as a young lad during Sunday Brunches.)
If I were you, I'd buy them just for the unintentionally kinky things that could be done with such devices, but that's just me.
Offered by: Jodi's Pet Thomas on July 8, 2002 9:28 AMI prefer hot-air popped, thankyewverramuch.
I did have a fondness for Jiffy Pop, back in the day, though.
Offered by: Scott on July 8, 2002 7:49 AMWOW, what a great thing you have discovered. I'm going downstairs right now to make room for one in my kitchen. Then, I'm ordering it lickety split!
Offered by: Desert Mermaid on July 8, 2002 6:01 AMImagine me thinking my life was complete. Sigh....I KNEW I was missing out on something great!
Offered by: Joan on July 8, 2002 4:05 AMBut Aaron, if we stick with Jiffy-Pop, we can also use it to fly around the world. Isn't that what that Fosset fellow used?
Offered by: Kim on July 7, 2002 3:29 PMTwo things:
a.)I've been wanting to download that mp3 for a while, but I haven't been able to find it on the file sharing software stuff b/c its blocked.
b)I want one of those popcorn forks so bad! I hate getting butter and salt and crap on my hands..and its easier to eat popcorn that you put chcolate syrup on.
Aaron, are you saying you don't like TV dinners either?
Offered by: Jodi on July 7, 2002 3:05 PMI've never been a big fan of Jiffy-pop. I tend to shy away from food that comes with its own cookware.
Offered by: aaron on July 7, 2002 2:47 PMI should add, however, that the "fun-du dipper tray," when cut with a skill-saw, makes 6 modern and fasionable hats for my action figure collection.
Offered by: aaron on July 7, 2002 2:45 PMI guess we should just stick with Jiffy-Pop, anyway, Aaron. After all, what's more fun than watching that flat aluminum swirl bloom into a shiny metallic version of a Rastafarian knit cap?! Oh, and puncturing it with a knife and watching the steam escape!
Offered by: Jodi on July 7, 2002 2:44 PMImagine my disappointment when I pirchased that item, and not only did it NOT come with Don Sothman, the "inventer" (as the package clearly indicates that it should) but it did not turn me into a popcorn pioneer either.
Guy with some plastic fork things? Yes.
Popcorn Pioneer? No.
I guess I'll have to wait for the patent to come through on my "internal-popcorn-combustion-engine" before I can truly become a Popcorn Pioneer.
