    @collectiveego: Ahh! I loved Chex Quest! I was trying to explain the appeal of killing a snot monster with a spork or a spoon to my husband, but he just shook his head and gave me one of those "crazy lady" looks.

    Still, ye ol' chip fork is superior. It comes with teh best food (fish n chips) and is made of wood so it won't last forever in landfills.

    Another side note in the history of the Spork. It helped the Mississippi Choctaw become one of the most financially successful Native American tribes. Back when they were still the only game in the area (maybe 15 years back or so?), they used early casino profits to invest in Spork manufacturing, which became, over time, the base for a diversified capital investment portfolio that now includes golf courses, other light manufacturing, hotels, etc.

    And now you know.

    This reminds me of that scene from Wall-E where the robot grabs a spork and tries to figure out which cup to put it in: The fork or the spoon cup.

    I like to sharpen the lip of my spoon to razor sharpness, and make a "snife". Nothing can possibly go wrong with this invention.

    So engraving random movie logos on everyday objects increases their value? Interesting. Does anyone want to buy a one of a kind Star Trek plate by any chance? How about a Star Trek laptop computer or a Star Trek car?

    I find that a spork is most efficient when the prongs are at least 30% of the the transverse diameter. The Borg Queen would not approve.

    @Jim Topoleski: Yeah, and you can buy the same TITANIUM spork from them without the Star Trek stuff for $9. They're charging you $14 for the Star Trek engraving.

    @JPMarat:


    nothing, if that's how you fly. The boat starts to shake when you talk about the killer philly/california rolls you had last night, and considering it "authentic asian food".


    DO you really think some Japanese sushi chefs suddenly had an enlightenment and combined cream cheese, smoked salmon, cucumber (processed crab meat, avocado and cucumber for the cali-roll). Let's get real


    There is nothing wrong with cream cheese (or anything else non-native to the Japanese culture). Just don't consider that authentic (or real) sushi. FauxShi maybe...

    My favorite is when they give you chopsticks at a Thai restaurant.


    It's like this nice, subtle dig: "You might not be stupid, but you're still stupid."
