The spoon may lack the aggressive physique of its more acute brethren, the knife and fork, but make no mistake: it is the passive-aggressive utensil of choice.
Why else would these spoons, spotted by Melissa at her office in Harlingen, Texas, be assuming a leadership position among this group of discontented silverware? We received word of this neglect on December 3, and can only speculate as to how furious the spoons were forced to become before getting the attention they deserve.
This kind of spoon-related standoff is hardly an isolated occurence, however…as Garett witnessed with this bulletin board display of spoon-napping from the local community center.

If the spoons can type up signs, why don’t they just wash themselves?

what’s easier- 5 minutes to wash a half dozen spoons, or organizing the spoons, typing and printing a sign (in landscape no less!) and taping it up….

You can see it coming, can’t you?
After another week of going unwashed, the spoons gathered all of the silverware and unionized. They will no longer serve until their demands are met.

Because, Lovey, like the rest of us, they would rather just lie there and bitch about it.

Looks like the serving utensils in picture #1 are demanding to be treated as “spoons”. Get a grip, Scoop…I eat with Spoon, I wash Spoon, and YOU SIR, are no Spoon!

I hate to say “I told you so”, but I did.
I predicted in “The Silverware Segregationist” (comment #40), that cooking utensils would demand equality with eating utensils, but did anyone listen? NO!
Now The Movement is beginning with increasingly more outspoken serving pieces!

For those of you who speak German, I offer the short film I made, in English it is “Sublime Utensils”. It’s an epic love story told through anthropomorphic silverware.

I am not your spoon,
I am not your spoon,
I’ve had enough, I’m throwing off my chains of servitude,
I am not your spoon,
I am not your spoon,
No longer will I serve for you for I am not your spoon.

Could it be that, in the first picture, the spoons have gotten so dirty that they are mutating into other, more agressive utensils? Everyone knows that spoons are generally pacifists, but tongs? Those suckers will pinch you on the ass.

I agree the spoons have mutated and that they are getting more aggressive each day. Next we’ll be hearing about a movie titled, Attack of the Killer Utensils.

Why don’t the spoons just say “KEEP US OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MOUTHS”? Seems it would make life a lot easier for them.

Spoon told me:
We get high in backseats of cars
We break into mobile homes
We go to sleep to shake up you
And then wake up on our own
And that’s the way we get by to
Way we get by

But we’ll take the sign down then
You know we’ll take the note down then……..

Combine these with one of the aforementionedinexpensive books for a double punch.But all that costs money, and did I mention I even ran outof color printer cartridge, and my budget currently does notallow for even that?When the money runs out, the creative get going.Office supply stores stock preprinted papers for a fewdollars a package, but a less expensive alternative is tocreate a black “frame” from clipart in a word processing orgreeting card program, and center a few favorite quotes, ora poem, inside the “frame;” print on plain white paper.
