I hate those headlines that are so obscure you actually have to RTFA.

the_cnidarian		2007-09-28 03:14:26 PM

Creative Forking.

baby_hewey		2007-09-28 03:14:27 PM

Dude! WTF, how did I score that?

/Oh yea, this is one of those "Who Cares" articals.

Creative Forking.

Not Spooning?

DaBishop		2007-09-28 03:15:06 PM

Fork this.

"no professional tablescapers are allowed"

Crap. I'll have to stack my beer cans somewhere else.

dryknife		2007-09-28 03:18:01 PM

I call shenanigans.

fanbladesaresharp		2007-09-28 03:18:23 PM

Will it be OK if I just don't bother with the article at all this time? I usually really read them all but I'm just not that inspired this time.

phlegmmo		2007-09-28 03:18:51 PM

And yet somehow their subscription base continues to shrink.

Not Spooning?

I prefer Forking to Spooning, but either would work here I suppose.

xtex		2007-09-28 03:20:13 PM

And I thought I had no life.

/articles like this boost my self-esteem

Combine them. Sporking.

Knifey Forkey anyone?

ultraholland		2007-09-28 03:25:25 PM

And that is what I shall name my firstborn.

mobombhead		2007-09-28 03:26:08 PM

Ah, to enjoy a simple monkey knife fight. I yearn for the days of old.

baby_hewey		2007-09-28 03:26:14 PM

Sporking? Hmmm, sounds like an Urbandictionary entry waiting for a creative pervert to fill in the details. Can someone give us a preview?

/want to borrow my hand lotion?
//I puts it in the basket for you.

ultraholland		2007-09-28 03:27:10 PM

phlegmmo: Combine them. Sporking.

A great scholar once said, "Spooning leads to forking."

cheapimmitation		2007-09-28 03:27:11 PM

I got a set of these for my birthday,

slimages.macys.com

I figure that if the dinner conversation is dull we could always have a knife fight.

Yakk		2007-09-28 03:29:32 PM

This is what happens when you leave white people alone with each other for too long.

JDAT		2007-09-28 03:31:34 PM

Not impressed

omris		2007-09-28 03:32:10 PM

some people need hobbies.

/that's not a knife
/THIS is a knife

I can't believe this go a greenlight and my sub about Police being trained to make moonshine so they would recognize it when they saw it didn't....TURDS!

Lorem lpsum		2007-09-28 03:35:11 PM

The LA Times was offering new subscriptions last month for $1 a week for a year - this is why.

Count-Blah		2007-09-28 03:36:24 PM

I don't know why but I LOL'd at this headline. +1

BobNesta420		2007-09-28 03:37:13 PM

A knife fight, you say?

ga362		2007-09-28 03:44:09 PM

Guy who shovels cement with a pitch fork = mortar forker

the_cnidarian		2007-09-28 03:47:53 PM

Would the Celtic team be called the Irish Setters?

fanbladesaresharp		2007-09-28 03:56:26 PM

Yakk: This is what happens when you leave ~~white people~~ little kids and too much soda pop alone with each other for too long.

pray.for.mojo		2007-09-28 03:56:49 PM

This article absolutely sucks. If these idiots want to work on something so bad and don't want to get a real job, they are welcome to come do mine for me.

1point21Jigowatts		2007-09-28 04:14:02 PM

your place setting thinks it's better than it is. like a yard dog that sneaks into the house.

davemak		2007-09-28 04:18:04 PM

The mother-daughter duo from Rancho Cucamonga are two of the reigning queens of one of the most esoteric competitions at the fair: who can set the best dinner table.

"Esoteric" is certainly a nice way of saying "stupid" or "lame-ass." Props to the reporter.
