Oh God Yay!

So, my sister, Kit nannies for a well-to-do family in Williamstown, a few towns over from us. They had to go out one evening and asked Kit to stay late, baby-sitting the kids. Kindly, they invited me to spend the evening there as well, and keep Kit company. We had put the kids down to bed and were raiding the cupboards for snacks and what do you think I found?



A bloody cow creamer! I didn't even know they made cow creamers! I jumped around like a total spazz making Jeeves & Wooster referneces until Kit said I could take a picture of it! XD

That link has the quote in it, with a picture of 2 cow creamers.

I could look the quote up since I have the book, but this was easier to find.

Excellent. Thanks. Well, I have to post it here now, just because any image of a cow creamer must be accompanied by these words.

"It was a silver cow. But when I say 'cow', don't go running away with the idea of some decent, self-respecting cudster such as you may observe loading grass into itself in the nearest meadow. This was a sinister, leering, Underworld sort of animal, the kind that would spit out of the side of its mouth for twopence. It was about four inches high and six inches long. Its back opened on a hinge. Its tail was arched, so that the tip touched the spine - thus, I suppose, affording a handle for the cream-lover to grasp. The sight of it seemed to take me into a different and dreadful world."

A slight over-reaction, perhaps - but then, those two pictured in the link were truly frightful.
