Spork? Rather eat with my hands. Fondly, Phillipa

I actually have a fondness for sporks. They're just perched so precariously on the border between clever and ridiculous. And I've been tempted to buy that titanium spork before.

I agree. I'm OK using both a spoon AND a fork. I have no need to combine the two into one device. :)

I love sporks! love love love! But, the spikes are a little too short ane the spoon is a little too small but there is an attractiveness to a spork that I cant explain. lol
i dont enjoy eating with sporks because I sometimes poke my tongue when I forget it isnt a spoon. It hurts :-0

I think they take away whatever little charm the flimsy plastic spork has.
And by charm, I mean like when you are trying to stab and scoop food at the same time (because presumably, that is what you do with a spork), it breaks.

What exactly are we supposed to be eating with sporks?
And you all thought I couldn't turn my obsessions into something productive. Ha!

The spork is the hallmark of civilized society. Or is that the sippy cup? I always forget.

*Yeah* I hate sporks.
My husband hates them too.
He calls a spork a fpoon.
I think I still have spork scars on my tongue after a night of too much beer followed by fries with curry sauce which I attempted to eat with a spork (but that was in another country...)

People, people,!! Can't we just get along?!? All these utensilean slurs and the disparaging, down right hateful remarks directed at the sadly misunderstood Spork, have compelled me to jump to the defense of these poor maligned wonders of 21st century technology. Can you imagine what it must feel like to never quite fit in?....am I a fork?.. or am I a spoon? Shunned by forks and spoons alike, the Spork wanders aimlessly through it's brief time here on earth, victim of an atmosphere of intolerance. Try walking a mile in those shoes. Have you once ever considered what a difficult existence these courageous and questionably useful little units have endured. No? Just as I thought....caught up in this mob mentality....reason, compassion, and caring have gone right down the dumper. I think with the recent media fixation on global warming, war, gas prices, horrific hurricanes, we have lost sight of this, what I would consider, a top priority issue....Spork Bashing. We need to nip, nip, nip it in the bud. All Done, I am *shocked* right down to my inner child (and he was already on the critical list). I hold you responsible for launching this slanderous campaign of denigration, fueled only by ignorance and fear of that which is different and what we do not clearly understand. In the name of all that is good and just, I ask, nay, I DEMAND you retract your negative comments and humble yourself with profuse groveling and apology. I might also suggest that a rather large donation to the People United Defending Sporks (PUDS) would be an appropriate gesture. Frankly I'm surprised Dr. Bob has not blocked this entire group of posters for at *least* a year. I might suspect that Bob is a closet Spork basher....I find this whole thing disturbing.
Peace

I should have figured you’d speak out in defense of the spork, Mr. Calculator/Watch/Fashion Accessory.
Have I ever considered the spork’s difficult existence? Of course, I have. But unlike you, I’ve seen and experienced the hurt, pain, and destruction the spork has caused on one too many occasions. So, until you walk to the nearest spork-providing KFC in my shoes, I suggest you ask yourself a few questions.
At what expense are we going to continue combining eating utensils? What about the plain old fork going unused in the drawer, feeling sad, lonely, and like a shell of a well…utensil. And the spoon will start to regret ever becoming a spoon in the first place. What’s it’s reason for existence? Ever felt like that? Yeah, not so great. The spoon is hurting, kid.
And pray tell. What’s next? Will we start combining everyday household appliances for no apparent reason? Can you imagine the time and money that will be spent on combining the steam iron and quesadilla maker? And for what? A bunch of soggy tortillas and cheese-riddled dress pants. Or maybe you think the blender and toilet should be combined? For obvious reasons, that should not be done.
Frankly, kid, I’m kind of hurt myself. You didn’t even bother to ask about my tragic experiences with the spork. The pain of a swollen tongue that only gets worse as I continue to accidentally bite on it, the anxiety over the decision to use the spork that’s been given to me or wastefully toss it in favor of a real utensil, the shock of putting what I believed to be a spoon in my mouth and instead finding near-deadly prongs (I still have nightmares), and the distraught over a failed marriage in my early twenties. (Umm, nevermind, don’t ask about that last one.)
I hope you and your PUDS get some satisfaction over harassing those of us making a simple choice to go with the reliable and environmentally friendly (don’t get me started) eating utensils.
I’m disappointed, kid. I really thought you had less time on your hands.
Catch ya later,
Laurie

I love it when people say "snort" - nay - might I say I LOVE IT when people say "snort".
Kid - you ROCK - I quite love your diatribe against the unrelenting spork-bashers amongst us!!! You, indeed, must be a lover-of-language - in utter fact, a connoisseur of words!!!
How I do love a river of words - nay, a torrent of words strung together with such utter abandon, yet shimmering, in fact scintillating with dignity and sophistication! to say nothing of the imparting of profound & unerring wisdom! - aye, wisdom and moral fortitude.
Kid - I commend you for your bravery in putting forth your own truths in this weighty matter of the sporks.
with great respect....Kath

I appreciate your support. Usually I avoid confrontation like the plague, but in this instance I had no choice but to weigh in on what I consider to be a matter of international importance and signifigance.
Hopefully I can count you among my few allies outraged by this unforunate......lets not mince words.......CRIMINAL stance some have decided to adopt concerning these poor unfortunate victims of descrimination, ignorance and intolerance. In the immortal words of the great President, Bill Clinton, "I did not have sexual inter...." no wait......it was something like, "Sporks have feelings too, ya know!"KEEP ON TRUCKIN', sistah.

*********Indeed Kid - might we go as far as to say intergalactical import? I don't think that's taking it too far do you? I concur as to confrontation, but feel that we must rise above our erstwhile limitations in this particular case.

jsut get him started. well, i say spork that. you can't eat anything with those blasted things except cereal and maybe chunky soup (with very thick broth)
and does a spork have feelings anyway? and does he (i'm assuming of course that somethign of such low class would be male. at least females can pretend to fit in) even care about fitting in? no!!!! i take that back. i've had plenty of 'spork' friends who were females. yes, the spork, on second thought, is female. who tries so ahrd not to fit in and then complains about not fitting in.
give me a break spork. get a hair cut (ie: saw those jagged edges off or make yourself into a complete fork). make a choice and stick with it. no more middle ground here. i pick you up, only as a novelty. so i can make fun of you, wiht my 'popular' friends (i'm talking about the spork, not my friend. come on, i'm not that mean. geez!)
you can't pick up anything good. ever eaten steak with a spork? sure, you can fidn them at kfc, but i wouldn't call that high class dining, would you? shrimp might work, but it'd be jsut as easy to scoop it with the sp part.
so spork, if you're tired of getting pointed and and picked on then make a choice. go to dr 90210. he'll hook you up. i even think he does pro bono work. in fact, i think that pompous guy bono will help give you an extreme makeover. you need it. you're no longer practical.
besides, how many carrots can you pick up with a spork? and boca burgers? can you cut them with the dull sp part? didn't think so.
the prosecution rests.
