So, I’m thinking about moving up in the world and getting my first colander. The problem is, I don’t know what they are called in Japanese. Also, should I get the kind with or without tentacles? ---

I’m actually thinking of starting a thread with the title “Ask the child of a woman who did all her culinary cutting with cheap, dull steak knives, who—through hard work and dedication—threw off the shackles of his low-class upbringing to work his way up to a set of midrange ceramic knives”. Either that or “ask the child of a failed used car salesman”. ---

> [@olivesmarch4th](#): > > Oh, sure, appeal to authority! Logic 101: Just because you have two colanders doesn’t mean your claims are valid! Actually, I think it does. Just think of all of the colander-related aphorisms. You know: “Two colanders make a right” and “Colander might makes colander right” and “A colander in the hand is worth any amount of your fancy-pants logic in an Australian desert.” ---
