    gravy shaker. (I don't know if that's what you call it or not. It's a plastic container with a screw-top lid. You are supposed to put flour and turkey drippings in it, and shake it up to mix them together, as part of making gravy. That's not how I make my gravy.)

    A set of picture notecards I was given which I don't like but just never got around to throwing away.

    OK in fairness I'm about to get rid of my encyclopaedias but I had both childrens' (Childcraft) ones and adult ones that I used a lot until the age of maybe 15. After getting Encarta and then internet taking off I had no use for 'em anymore. Although the ones we have are from the '70s so some of the illustrations are priceless.

    Whole wheat flour.

    Sure, you bought it with good intentions, but it's going to sit there forever.

    Well shit. I use the chronometer dials on my watch, curry powder, whole wheat flour, bay leaves and our fondue set all on a rather regular basis and I'm nearly sure that I've used all of those food related items AT THE SAME TIME before. Guess I'm more of a weirdo than I'd previously admitted to myself.

    Anyway, I present A List of Shit that is Had But Never Used in the Cluricaun Household:

    Decanters
    All of the Waterford crystal
    The nice blanket on the couch
    Most of the pillows on the couch
    The remote that came with our TV
    Our Wii
    Ammonia
    Candles, and lots of em. Oh there's ones we burn, but there's a lot more we don't.
    My printer
    The TV in the guest room, hasn't been turned on in at least two years. I pay for cable on that fucker too.
    A samurai sword
    Shaving cream
    More bedding than you could shake a stick at.

    I'm a corse heathen to my wife, I don't belive in 'decorative' bedding, towels or candles. Decorations are things like paintings or brass diving helmets (note: I am not allowed to purchase a brass diving helmet much to my chagrin, but I digress and think it would look lovely) or plants. They're nice, but they don't serve any real purpose (except perhaps brass diving helmets).

    Decorating with useful things is fucking dumb. I don't get the point of owning practical things that you can't ever use. We have down pillows, big king sized ones, that live inside of a tellingly named thing called a "sham" that I am not allowed to use.
    Hell, if I didn't do things just because they made me feel a bit ridiculous, I wouldn't have much of a social life. - Santo Rugger.
