INTRODUCING......................THE SHANKARA TATER!This is my first attempt at replicating any kind of prop so I did not want to spend more than 10 cents. It was very easy and only took about 2 minutes.........well 3 minutes for the illuminated version. The best thing is if you screw up you can eat it with dinner. Non - Illuminated Version Illuminated Version And NOW you know what ShortRound meant when he said..........  Cheers, G-MANN

$29.99! I want one!
"I sure do love them french fried Shankaras. Mmmhmm."
That came out really good, G-Mann!
Were you just hashing the idea around?

Yikes, Can you imagine how those things would smell after being in Indy's bag for a coupe of days in the Indian heat?

Oh, this isn't anything new. I got one of those waaay back in my Temple of Doom Happy Meal from McDonald's. The scariest part was seeing Ronald dressed as Mola Ram! ;D Clever and funny prop idea G-Mann. |

Funny, as when I first saw the Sankara stone in TOD (actually the first time they show it in the movie when the priest unveils it and we see the 3 lines across it) I thought looked like a broken end of a stick of bread ! (a "baguette" in French)

Kalkamel,
I forgot to mention, each kit will contain 4 Close Enough taters.
That way you can make a set of 3 and have one in case you make a mistake. If you get the correct results on the 1st try..............then you can use the left over to make tater tots. ;D
Cheers,
G-MANN (the G stands for Gravy)

Imagine having an "Indy themed" dinner party and having certain pieces of food reflect props or scenes from the movies. You could even have little gummy candy bugs and stuff scattered around the table. It's a great idea for an Indy fan's birthday dinner or a Halloween type of get together. Face it you've just become the Indy Lounges version of Martha Stewart! ;D ;D |

You know, I mentioned the same thing to John when first brought up the tater idea. I also said that it would be a nice touch for a summit, to have an Indy themed dinner like that! Ken |

hey howsabout doing a headpiece to the staff of Ra made from a choccy digestive? and a M&M for the crystal?
or an ice cream made to look like Toht, so that when it melts... you can re-enact his death scene!
or if you try to bake your own biscuits and screw it up?.....
hey presto, the remains of Nurhache!!!
