Spork plugs
Today I was thinking about sporks.
- The spork FAQ.
- The spork Wikipedia entry.
- The Straight Dope tells you where you could get your own metal spork, if the link they provide weren't dead. Froogle to the rescue! (You will note that one of the search results is for a spork-identification-impaired company.)
Sadly, most of the spork homepages on the web have gone by the wayside (I guess spork sites don't really pay for their own bandwidth), but much of the front page of one has been replicated here. Really, a lot of spork info gets copied from one website to another. It is all part of the great circle of life. (Cue Elton John music.)

spork (v): The act of spooning while having an erection.
Have a good one Francis,

I bought my brother-in-law a titanium spork for Christmas last year. It's attractively designed, and it made the recipient insanely happy, and really, who could ask for anything more from a spork?

"They dined on mince and slices of quince, which they ate with a runcible spoon/and hand in hand on the edge of the sand they danced by the light of the moon"
Thanks,
