The Spoon: Superior Specimen For Eatments

Regular readers know how strongly I feel on this matter. The spoon is all-around proper for every food-related situation and I'll tell you why. Some of the reasons even involve eating.
  1. The original Mashed Potato Flinger™

  2. Peaceful, non-threatening nature—unlike stabby fork, cutty knife

  3. Retains its thin profile no matter how many cream coated cheesecakes are imbibed

  4. Its middle name is "poo"

  5. Scoop after scoop, dependably measures one teaspoon

  6. A fogged up spoon dangling off the end of your snoz accessorizes a piercing or tattoo

  7. Spoonin' with a loved one

  8. Big round head, small body reminds you of adorable cartoon spoons

  9. Improved safety means it's easier for mothers to give birth to a kid with a silver spoon in its mouth

  10. Close cousin to the beloved shovel

  11. Natural funhouse mirrorness promotes playing with nostrils

  12. Cheaper than diamonds

  13. Ever watch someone eating ice cream with a knife and fork?

For the record, I've never witnessed anyone eating ice cream with a knife and fork—but I have seen it done with a muffin. Shudder.

Anizo 100% Reality Mind

“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!

You're On My Mind, For $1,000

It has not escaped me that I have a somewhat profuse forehead. Or rather, a fivehead. The “high forehead” was thought to be much attractive in the 15th through 16th centuries, when wealthy gentleladies plucked their way to highbrowed beauty. Admirers took note of the greater brainpan and refined intelligence. (“My, my. Look at thee fo’ead on that one. Hubba hubba.”) Alas, today we no longer live in the Middle Ages, those pox-filled days of easy beauty. Those of us left behind, showing proof of high intelligence as we do, need to make do. So.... One day, a dame with a dome has a bright idea: Advertising Revenue. Then an even better, more refined idea: But a genius idea needs geniuses to buy into it. That’s where you come in. For example, say you’re an overpaid advertising executive. You’re gearing up to promote a dentist, electronics giant, and/or hemorrhoid creme. Or household goods and Sea-Monkeys. I don’t need to explain to you the power of the visual medium. So, without further ado.
