This post is not about football

I think I fairly admitted the fact that this post is not about football. In fact, it is not about sports at all. It is about a miraculous feat that I accomplished no more than thirty minutes ago. Let me preface the story with a little background. I enjoy cooking, and as such I have lots of spices, pepper, salt, oregano, etc. You get it. Well, to be efficient I leave these various cooking accents on the top of my oven/stove. Well by opening the oven door and various kitchen jostling, the oven came free of the wall about 2 inches. This gap, while not that big of a deal, turned into disaster for my garlic and herb Old Bay seasoning, a staple in my kitchen. Now, you will probably say, "Just pull out the oven!" Good idea!, except my kitchen is very small, and I believe the cabinets were put in after the oven was. So, it could be pulled out about a foot or so. So I, being as brilliant as a man can legally be, employed a tried and true recovery method I learned from Looney Tunes: tape a magnet to a cord of some kind and swing it down to get the metal container of flavorful goodness. So I used the only cord available, an ethernet cable. So I scotch taped a kitchen magnet to an ethernet cable and swung it down behind the oven. After four or five attempts, success! It was like something out of a MacGuyver episode. It was too excellent an event not to share with our huge audience.
