Titanium Spork - [Supplying]

Posted by Chubbypanda at 2/25/2007 11:53:00 PM


(Spork of the gods.)


"Every mythic hero normally has an equally mythic weapon. Zeus had his thunderbolts. Thor had his hammer, Mjolnir. King Arthur had his Excalibur. Frodo and Bilbo had their Sting. Rhydderch Hael had his Dyrnwyn. King Kong had his bananas…you get the idea. It's time for you to join the ranks of the heroes and heroines of lore as you wield your own legendary weapon in your battle against a very powerful foe: hunger."

- ThinkGeek.com



(My own Hephaestus.)


With a description like that, you know I just had to have one. Luckily for me, my good friend, Mr. Big, thought so as well. I don't know what fiery mountain depths he forged it in, but I'm now the proud owner of a Snow Peak Titanium Spork. Look out, Thor. Watch your back, Zeus. Chubbypanda has joined your ranks. I hereby dub my spork "Sporky Coleslawfoe!"


(Japanese == Efficient)


Snow Peak has produced quality outdoor products for over 50 years. The Titanium Spork is part of their line of lightweight, durable dining equipment for extreme backpackers.


(Dishes beware!)


Since titanium is resistant to salt, corrosion, and metal fatigue, it's the perfect substance for the ultimate spork. Heck, they make jet engines, aircraft carriers, missiles, and tanks out of this stuff. What's the worst I can do to it?


(Powerful containment magics.)


It's like the first spork there ever was; raw, savage, primal, and noble. The spork against which all other sporks will forever be measured. The god-spork.


(Everything I dreamed it could be.)


At last, a spork large enough and strong enough to hold the perfect mouthful. Just wait until I get me some KFC coleslaw.

Available at ThinkGeek.com and a number of sports retailers.

    Wow, you are intense! Is that Grape Nuts or granola? That spork "really" does do the trick! Now you gotta try that spork with some rice porridge or Chinese beef noodle soup!

    I love ThinkGeek. I buy most of my gifts for my geek brethren from there. Sometimes I get the same item from them that I bought to give.

    Ooh, I've been wanting some stuff off of ThinkGeek, and I think I saw this. I've always wanted to carry around a spork because there were too many times that I've needed something to eat with.

    I prefer chopsticks! ;)

    A fancy schmancy titanium spork and you use it for cereal? I think it had grander dishes in mind...

    Color me so damn jealous. LOL

    Tell me, is it on display or tucked away safely behind 72 Get Smart style doors?

    Oooo, the spork! Takes me back to elementary school.

    Yep, elementary school nostalgia for me too. But I hated the plastic variety, especially on thick stuff like French toast & salisbury steak. Or the lunch lady.

    So - getting the Knork anytime soon. Or is your hephaestus busily working away at a functional Snife?

    I am so going to look for the titanium spork the next time to go to a sporting goods store...which should be, oh, next year maybe?

    PE,

    Grape Nuts. It's what I had on short notice. =)

    Cap'n Jack,

    Was there ever any doubt?

    Elmo,

    ThinkGeek is the bomb. I'm still trying to resist the temptation of the green laser pointer.

    Christine,

    Snow Peak also makes a set of collapsible chopsticks. =)

    WC,

    See my comment to Christine.

    The Titanium Spork can defeat any dish, great or small!

    Steen,

    A little from column A, a little from column B.

    Poopycat,

    Yes! That is where my love/hate relationship with the spork was born. Stupid tater tots...

    HC,

    The Knork is cool, but isn't the Snife essentially a grapefruit spoon?

    Yuzu,

    That's the beauty of ordering online. The shinies come to you.

    I've just put in an order for the Titanium Spork/Foon (I remember that from Bill Nye...). I've also ordered the original ring thing. Should be an interesting assortment of geek gadgets. Thanks for the rec.

    LOL Dude, this is amazing! Amazing that you have a titanium spork too! I love the product description from thinkgeek! I love my spork and revel in knowing that it will most likely outlast us all.

    SiBuduhMan,

    Sweet! I think they also make a set of collapsible titanium chopsticks. I plan to get myself a set soon.

    Foodhoe,

    Darn tootin'. Long live the spork!
