oh god...

ah, not 'mis-purposed' but ' Re-Purposed' !! :) or even ' Dual Use'

I'm not eating at YOUR place!

rofl!

The spatula has many uses. Just not cooking.

Mispurposed? That's just assuming it has an inherent purpose to cook food with. Purrhaps you should have a chat with a sparrow who can tell you why a stopwatches inherent purpose is make nests more comfy

It's a guy thing.

Icky Spatula... Icky Spatula... Wasn't he a character from some '30's comic strip...?

Sounds like the perfect moniker for a stool pigeon in a private eye serial.

I didn't know Jan was an engineer.

He's not! An engineer would have used at least fifty moving parts to do the same thing!

One does hope it opens easier/automatically ...

I think it should but lead line have been broken.

Point! LOL I tend to be a minimalist. My first rule is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." My second rule is "If it is broke, how can it be fixed quickly, at minimal expense and downtime." My third rule is "While it's still working, let's design a replacement that's less expensive and/or won't break so we don't have to go through this BS again."

Well, you did use the word 'engineer'.

Me, I'm into the 'Kiss' principle, but I throw in a bit of brute force for the fun of it.

From my 'book two':

His admiral looked sideways at him before saying, “Humans have an old saying about war and diplomacy: ‘If you’re not cheating you’re not trying hard enough’. I think we can all agree that the Folly’s captain believes in trying hard enough.”

“Never, ever underestimate the awesome destructive power of a drunk, belligerent, brute-force-loving, pissed-off engineer – or captain it seems,” Captain Mulric muttered. To the chuckles of several of those in attendance he added, “Not that I actually think the captain in question was drunk.”

That reminds me of one of my favorite sayings "There's no problem that can't be solved by the judicious application of brute force."
I'll have to go read some of your stuff....

Why expensive steel spatula though?
I use for similar purposes ...a thing. Dunno what it is and what it is for, probably something bathroom or gardening related... it looks like spatula but wider and made of cheap plastic..and cost thirty times less XD

I think I'd WASH that spatula after each vent closing but that's just me

Get something other than a spatula for that, Jan.

I CAN RELATE!

Well the other option is to get someone to fix it....perhaps Wolf? :3

Don't have a stick to do that o.o ?

Well that makes sense ^^

Why would you want to close the vent anyhow?

She needs to go to...... https://youtu.be/2XbCWmY0eqY

well it's official, I'm never going to eat his burgers if they're made with that spatula

For a minute, I thought that was MAN-Purposed utensils... I guess pretty much the same =^^=

Okay, That lion needs to learn more about housework.

Well... There's the cake server and tape measure. The strainer has been used as a fencing mask from time to time.
