I bought some fresh pineapple from Tesco on the way home from work (ok already, I know I’m lazy for buying the pre-cut, pre-washed version). It comes in a packet with one of those spoon/fork implements, the ones shaped like a spoon, but with prongs on. I noticed the packet called it a “spork”. Spork, I think I like that a lot.

• So, I bristled the other day when some dude said that all americans’ words are learned from the Englandland types. Guess what, poopchute?! The SPORK has been around on my side of the tulip path since Taco Bell first opened. Get with it, D.

• I don’t know why people make such a huge deal about the spork or the knifork or the spoonife when the Chinese had it right all along, with chopsticks. You can poke, you can prod, you can skewer, you can scoop, you can rip apart…you can do anything with two sticks of bamboo. There’s nothing you can’t do or eat with chopsticks. Ok, maybe yogurt would be difficult, but not impossible. Pretty soon people will see the power in chopsticks and it will show up on the list of things you’re not allowed to bring onto an airplane. Although some Asian airlines supply chopsticks with their meals anyway, so what’s the diff? I don’t know what I’m talking about.
