Meet the Greens....

 I was wandering past the kitchenware store the other morning

and these babies were in the window

there was a whole display of them

and there were heaps of others

a few of which were a touch challenging

 for me to remember for future reference

without having my brain start to bleed

it was 8am after all

I was barely coherent let alone capable of whipping out my sketchbook

but on the way out I stopped for another good look

on a slope ...with full grocery trolley... 

quite a feat because if I had of let go

I would have taken out about twenty very elderly people like skittles

it was rather odd actually as they had arrived en masse

a blue rinse gang with souped up walkers

all hanging at the mall.... go figure

It was so worth a possible incident with a runaway trolley

because if I hadn't stopped for a closer look

I wouldn't have seen they have names

oh yes people some bright bugger has decided to name them

and they are a family of gadgets... the Green family

which I thought meant I was going to be treated to some awesome puns

but either they are being purposefully obtuse, or I am a bit slow

because I don't get some of the the names

On the left let me introduce Cheese Grater Gaby Green

no clue if you have to change her name if you use carrots on her

though Zelda Zucchini grater has quite the ring to it don't you think..

and then we have Potato Masher Marshall Green

not looking like any potato masher I have ever seen

I might be tempted to go and buy this one just to see how it works

to me it looks like it might flap some potatoes to death but that is about it

We then have Pizza Cutter Pepper Green

again not sure what relevance Pepper has

because we call peppers capsicums in Australia

and I don't usually put pepper pepper on pizza

very confusing

the next one is a cracker though

Mayor Corey Green... yes they went with Corey for an apple corer

finally a bit of nice obvious pun humour

though not sure why he is wearing what looked like a zorro mask

or why he is a mayor????

This final one is Citrus Reamer Joyce Green

which looks like a mighty fine gadget

though I do think that my Gran would be offended

that they named a reaming device after her

then again maybe she wouldn't have, she did have drill sergeant tendencies

and you don't see the name Joyce very often do you

so while the gadget didn't have a necklace

I added it as a tribute to Joycey  baby

who never went out without her beads on

and would have always looked put together even if it was to ream things....

Happy Sunday Sketches to all ...xx
