You know, if you're trapped in the kitchen there are all sorts of dangerous implements you could throw. Glass that could be broken and used as a weapon, garbage, soapy water (from a pot you're soaking), the pot, hard-veggies like winter squash, canned goods. I would use whatever you could get your hands on until you can get yourself to an exit and skedaddle.

You are all gigantic freaks.

Don't forget the boiling oil. You should ALWAYS keep a pot of boiling oil on the stove for safety's sake.

Ah. Keep an empty beer bottle by the sink. Grab it by the neck. Crack it on the counter so you have a sharp, broken bottle and look crazy.

See Allyson's the really dangerous one. She's got the creative-in-battle thing down.

Broken bottles, knives, pots and pans, lunchboxes, all useful things. Personally, I would go for the bottle of random toxic household cleaner and spray it in the attacker's face. Once they're blind and/or screaming from their face dissolving, THAT'S when you pull out the hammer and/or knife.

In random movie news: I finally saw Queen of the Damned last night. Hee! Cheesy cheesy vampire goodness! I must own my very own copy.

And then there's aerosol spray cans, which can be turned into impromptu flamethrowers.

Also, open cans of dog or cat food can cause projectile vomiting. IJS.

Also, for surprise -- there is always the spray hose on the kitchen sink.

Also useful for making the footing dangerous (I bet the garbage would work nicely there too.)

Boiling water could be a handy weapon too.

Also useful for killing spiders, IJS.

Or you could lure them into the microwave.

Althought that wouldn't work as well on a human attacker.

This is actually not such a good idea. Crack the bottle wrong, and, rather than a useful weapon, you'll end up with a palmful of glass shards.

Given the choice between that and Batarang, I think it's pretty obvious how I'd go.
