spaghetti trees and their debris

I can think of only one use for a pasta rake:












That would have to be for when the spaghetti trees aren't harvested in time and the spaghetti falls to the ground. Right?

What else could you possibly need a pasta rake for?

Wow! That Orson Welles is such a joker!

Maybe you could use it to rake out your spaghetti squash? Because, you know, forks aren't any good for that.

Oh, spaghetti squash - how could I forget about that?

I am semi-ashamed to admit that I actually like the rakes. They're made of olive wood and are quite gorgeous despite being pretty stupid.

So David, are you saying that you actually interact with all these objects before you write about them? Here's another use if you have to have one of those cute rakes. How about as a rake for your zen rock garden?

No, I don't see most of them in person but the grain on the wood is pretty beautiful IMO.

Possibly could use these in a zen garden but I think they might be a little big. I think I'll just admire them from afar...
