But that's no funnel!
Or is it?
The cala lily is one of the most elegant funnels I've seen.
I've been thinking about funnels ever since I found this one, with the help of a smurf.

Whenever I see funnels, I always think of the Tin Man.

Poor Dorothy got caught in a funnel of her own!

Can you be brave and take a look at another frightening funnel?
I'll hold your hand.
Here it comes...
a funnel web!

How about that for a conniving spider! It lives in its nest in the dirt, and waits for its prey to get caught in the funnel!
Enough scary funnels.
How about a majestic one?
I've always thought this guy's head looks like a funnel.

And I'm not the only one!
Look! The folks at Pylones (Sarut, aux les Etats Unis) thought of it too!

I just love love love that company.
If I ever get rich, I'm going to buy up everything they've ever made. And I'll sit on a kitchen stool and watch my chef use all their cool things to make me all sorts of fattening French food!
And when I get tired of that, I'll spend the rest of my time playing on their website, HERE. It's still the best all around product website I've found. (But I'm partial to weird kitchen implements.)
I might even have my chef (who'll be named Fabio or maybe Gustav) use one of their funnels to make me a plate of funnel cake!

And then I'd have to run off all those calories playing funnel ball!

And I'd spend at least a half hour sending pennies down a funnel. But hey, if I'm rich, I might as well use silver dollars!

Have you ever done this? It's mesmerizing.
I love to watch full grown adults get entranced by that thing.
Why don't we listen to some funnel music?

What, you can't hear it?
Watch this video, then. It was taken in Zurich at an Alpine Horn festival.
Maybe they even had funnel cake there!
Did I leave any funnels out? Please share!
Have a wonder-full Wednesday, everyone!
Love, Becky

Oh, Funnel Cake, how I love thee!
Very Funnelly - You forgot to include the money funnel built into the bottom of everyone's pocket leading to our gas tanks. It's costing me $200 PER WEEK just to get to work these days. Betcha can't come up with a pic of that!
Where's the next book by the way? C'mon - get busy - your fans are waiting.
I don't think you left out any funnels. You must stay up nights thinking up the next wonder. How do you do it?
Have a great day Rebecca!

Those elephant funnels are so cute! Now I'll have to go spend some time on their website...
I've got four more for you Rebecca. Megaphones are funnel shaped. Some Audio speakers are shallow, but sort-of funnel shaped. Nose-cones to some rockets are upside-down cones or funnel shapes. Also this antique telephone I bought, that I'm looking at in the office right now, from the Poinsett Hotel (1925+). Both the hand piece and the earpiece of this phone are funnels. "Hello Sarah? , Can you please get me ThelmaLou?"(Andy Griffith). No, this one is much older. Cool !

hmmmmm, funnel cake...yum. Ditto Jaxpop! : D

Riiiiiiiiicola!
Remember that commercial?
That picture of a funnel cake nearly made me swoon. Why do you do this to a poor Weight Watchers gal?
Love the lily...
... but I can't think about funnels I'm still caught up in the puzzles from Monday. Thanks, ever so! What the heck kind of bird is that on that plate anyway?
I did take the time to read Emily Ever After. That was fun. I'm starting Consider Lily tonight.
Hey y'all!
Felicity, I love it too! It's the main reason why I love the state fair!
Jaxpop, you're right. And you're sweet to ask (even demand :)) about the next book. I'm working...I'm working! If I were living in a monastery, it might go faster. But that's okay...I wouldn't want to miss out on any part of my life--except maybe the cooking and cleaning!
Hi Rosemary! You're a sweetie.
Adrienne, be careful. Once you step into their site, you'll never want to leave!
Randy, you have an old phone from the Poinsett!!! Lucky you! Did George call and want it for the movie filming there? I have a chair from that hotel. It's one of my favorites, though the springs are all worn out.
Hi Cindy, I'm glad you're enjoying the book!
Hey May, of course I remember it. Every time we went to the alps while we lived in France, Ben would have to stand on a mountain and say Ricola, and wait for the echo. Slightly embarrassing.
Lotusloq, I don't know. A crow? A raven? I gave up on that puzzle long ago, but I'd love it if you'd solve it for me. Glad you like the books. I enjoyed them too, and so did my daughter.
Hi Becky,
Thanks for the fun post, AGAIN! I love the plastic elephant funnels. That is a fun company. It would be so much fun to have those whimsical kitchen utensils!
Thanks for the nice comment at my blog yesterday!

I wish George did call me about my telephone, maybe I should have called him first! Now he's the kind of bud I should have on my friends list! I was within 10 ft. from him when he came into the Poinsett entrance to help troubleshoot a door window reflection problem - nobody between us small group of actors/actresses - I could have walked calmly up to him and offered help. But we were told to ignore him, so ignore him is what we did! I should re-upload my pics to Greenville Online, they were really pretty good, and old-timey. I will send you a photo of my old Poinsett Hotel phone.
Randy
Your blog always surprises me, where do you come up with these things? Always too fun! Hugs***Renea
I always enjoy your post so much!

I love these posts! I don't know how I have missed so many of them. I just started google reader and I am adding you to that so I don't miss a single post!
Hugs,
