I’d rather be **French kissed by Ellen Degeneres** than **Eat cold tapioca pudding** I Googled Ellen Degeneres pictures, she don’t look too bad, why is French kissing her to be avoided? Not that she’d likely want to kiss me, being as I’m a bloke. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by bluecanary \* > \*\*Why is it that every time I look at this thread the person before me has used a word I don’t know? > > WTH is a ‘spork’? \*\* Sporks are what make the world go round. They are those spoon/fork doodads you see every once in awhile. You know, its a bowl shaped utensil but it has itty bitty prongs at the tip like a fork. so its a spoon…and its a fork! Its a SPORK! They are also very nice to stick in somebody’s yard in the middle of the night. Nothing gets a "😕 " look better than waking up to a bunch of plastic eating utensils sticking out in random places in your yard than being sporked! ---

I’d rather **be Hugh Grant’s date for Jeffrey Dahmer’s dinner party** than **see Yanni and Kenny G in a porno movie**. You saw it, didn’t you? Just a few seconds before the safeguard in your mind kicked in, for that brief instant where you were caught off-guard, there it was – an ever-so-brief mental glimpse of curly hair and bushy moustache in a whirl of sweat and sax licks. My work here is done. ---
