These are a Few of my Favorite Words

Spork. I don't know why but the work "spork" just cracks me up. It's so funny I had to buy a titanium spork just to be able to use it in a sentence regularly. For those of you that don't already know, a spork is a combination spoon and fork, typically made of plastic and distributed with the worst sort of fast food, such as a Mashed Potato Bowl from Kentucky Fried Chicken.

But after considering the spork, I wondered why it wasn't called a foon, which is pretty danged funny as well. Perhaps because of it's proximity to the word "buffoon" which I always think of as a nude clown. And if you have foons, why not spives, fives, knorks, or knoons?

Why stop at silverware? I'll bet there's a substantial cost savings for KFC to dish up it's carbo-lardo meals on spowls or borks, which would be a combination bowl and fork or bowl and spoon. How about that? No plastic silverware to distribute at all!

Now I should probably be patenting this idea, but how about a borkin? that's right, a combination bowl and fork that you can wipe your mouth with after you finish eating out of/with it. Awesome huh?

I'm gonna go celebrate with a borkin full of mashed potatoes, gravy, bacon, corn, cheese, and refried beans!
