Oh, I can play her role: I wish people without colanders or people who only have old colanders would stop talking. I was in the same room with a colander once. I know a lot about this. I hope that annoying person over there has a horrible miscolander and her spaghetti goes all over the floor. Because of my parents’ connections, I’m going to be part owner of a colander factory.

Well, what’s your colander status, man? (Or woman.) We must know this before you fully uncloak. ---

Peasants. Colanders? Lemon ballers? Garlic presses? Maybe if you’re living in the street or something. I do all my cooking with space-aged … _MICROWAVES!_ ---

> [@olivesmarch4th](#): > > You do it _yourself_? I thought everyone had a lettuce-hanging servant. Apparently now that **RNATB** is married, he has to hang his lettuce all by himself. And before anyone asks, I have a Villeroy & Boch colander (among others) and well over 30 tea strainers. And a baby, so apparently tea strainers are not dual use technology. ---

You people were just too lazy to have the right parents. Well…I think having a horrible colander accident and missing a meal might actually be a good thing for some of you _fat people_ on here. I once knew someone who went to India and volunteered for people who grew up with no colanders so they weren’t even privileged enough to have colander accidents. So suck it up! Cheerio, lindsaybluth. ---

I never realized how rich I was until this thread. And not just rich in spirit, but really rich! You see, I own four colanders. (Well, one of them is a mini colander, which matches the normal-sized one it came with). And last night…I used two different colanders in the course of making one meal. You heard me right…two colanders for one meal. I’m that wealthy. Envy me. ---
