props for the low budget sequels of Edward Scissorhands

I have a pair of scissors in the kitchen drawer where such things as the can opener and corkscrew are kept. They're probably only second to the knives in terms of usage. Granted, they're used for non-food related things like opening plastic packaging but they're used frequently in the summer to clip fresh herbs from the garden. (They get washed, no big whoop.)

By scissors I mean something like this:

You know, scissors. Once you graduate from safety scissors sometime during elementary school, these are pretty much what you use for the rest of your life when you need scissors. I know that there are all kinds of crazy specialty scissors for things like scrap booking (scallop edges etc.) and for sewing there is something called pinking shears which have a jagged cutting surface. I'm fine with those, I understand. Well, pinking shears I don't really get but I'll take it on faith that they serve an important purpose however I do caution against using them to cut hair. Seriously, don't.

I am not prepared to be so understanding about all specialty scissors though.

What the hell is up with these:

The "Chop-N-Toss". There's apparently a demographic out there that like to chop their salad in the bowl. Really, at some point they should just learn how to use a knife, right? Get a cutting board and get a clue.

What about this? Seriously. "Herb Scissors". You know what else works for herbs? SCISSORS scissors. Also, knives.

If you really want to be a d-bag then please get yourself some pizza scissors. I know that your typical rolling pizza cutter is pretty much a uni-tasker but it works. It works really well. I can see the benefits of the serving wedge that's attached but I cannot fathom how it makes up for that fact that cutting pizza with scissors is just ridiculous.

Now the Scissor Sisters, that's some good specialty scissor-action.
