Spoon Food...

As wikipedia puts it:
"A spoon is a common eating utensil, or item of cutlery, somewhat like a small spade, with a bowl-shaped end on a handle, that occurs in a number of sizes and forms. Its main purposes are for conveying food to the mouth and for stirring, though it has a number of other uses."

So besides shoveling food into our faces, they also serve a variety of other wonderful purposes:


- Spoons can make fantastically pretty pieces of jewellery.
- Spoons can substitute as an instrument for the musically impaired.
- Spoons can also become an essential part to exciting, fast-paced card games.

[...they can also double as a spork, which may seem sacriligious to those fanatical spoon devotees...]

While generally spoons are easily accessible for purchase of the common people at affordable prices, there are always those lucky few whose mouths are somehow magically filled with a nice set of silver cutlery right from birth.

An accidentally amazing phenomenon which occurs sporadically to amuse those fortunate enough to possess the ability to speak properly, that has nothing to do with spoons but for the fact that it contains the word spoon within its name, is oh so mysteriously called a....

Spoonerism.
These delightful 'tips of the slung' are words or phrases in which letters or syllables get swapped!

EXAMPLES:
- it's roaring with pain [it's pouring with rain]
- wave the sails [save the whales!]
- soap in your hole [hope in your soul]
- trail snacks [snail tracks]
- this is the pun fart [this is the fun part]

One can even tell an entire story in this spooneristic style:

Beeping Sleauty (an excerpt)

by Colonel Stoopnagle

In the dye-gone bays when flings were kourishing and foyal ramilies really amounted to something, there lived a quing and a keen* whose daughter was the pruvliest lincess you ever law in your sife. She was as lovely as Spritney Brears and Rulia Joberts wolled into run. Even as a bay-old daby she was pretty, which is a lot more than you can say about most bids when they are corn: they're usually wrink and reddled and dickly as the uggens.


....i am still at a loss as to why it is called a spoonerism.

This brings me to ...Spooning.
As Ryan would not accept the challenge of blogging about this controversial subject, I have taken the task upon myself.


To some this idea of cuddling with another person similarly to spoons in a drawer seems entirely innocent.
To others...dangerously sexual.
So it seems as though there is surprisingly not much to say on the subject...
Typically, though, it occurs between close friends or perhaps to avoid hypothermia in a cold situation.
However, I simply send this warning: be careful of what goes on in the kitchen drawer boys and girls.



and that's about all i have to say about that...i'm going to go have a bowl of soup...
