Subject: [Leica] It's all pots and pans now kids....

A few months ago, I asked the lug those immortal questions: which is better,
All-Clad or Le Creuset? Caphalon or Hecnkles? Does Reverwere belong in a
kitchen? And you responded, and I done outfitted my kitchen, approved by the
LUG, because I want to be the right kind of snob. Here's the results:

So..... Let's say I was to have some luggers over for dinner.

 "What a wonderful hat!" Someone remarks at my Tilley, perched atop my hat
rack. Everyone photographs it. My dog walks through the kitchen, someone
remarks "Well! A Brittny! Fancy that! Feisty little pointer!" to which
someone else enviously adds "What a lovely breed of upland bird dog! Fine,
fine animal!" Shutters whirr and click. After seven or eight glasses of
Chivas Brothers Royal Salute 50 year old scotch (mmmm!) someone suggests
that we go outside and shoot a bunch of the empty scotch bottles with my
very impressive Browning Citori over-and-under shotguns. We photograph one
another firing guns and blasting bottles off of one another's heads. When we
can barely stand and one or two of us have been winged by stray pellets, we
retire to the house and stack our cameras on the kitchen table. "Holy
crikies!" says one of the luggers, stumbling over my 200 year old Hammadan
hand knotted Persian rug, and collapsing to the floor like a bag of sod and
pinecones. He staggers to his feet, pulling the elegant Madeira hand
embroydered Portugese tablecloth with him (Leica's clatter and scatter
everywhere, but we really don't care by now). "You have," he teeters back
and someone almost catches him, but instead, now off balance, crashes into
the stove, knocking my Kitchen-Aid mixer into the sink, "you have," says the
first lugger, staggering to his feet, "the most excellent set of pots and
pans!" He points vaguely at my iron pot rack which seems to be swinging from
the ceiling. Or maybe the floor is rocking. "Yeah!" chimes in a third
lugger, accidentally firing the shotgun into the floor, blasting my Bosh
rotary hammer drill to bits and slightly injuring my dog, "what kind of pots
and pans are those?

They're FANTASTIC!"

"Well," I say proudly, "they're...."
