    Titanium Spork
    Sporks, everyone loves them, now you can get one that lasts.
    Anyone going to get one?

    If they sold them in the UK I might. ThinkGeek shipping is a little expensive. :(

    Or I could just use Google to find a place in the UK that sells them. :D

    If these hadn't been available for many years this would be a semi useful post to someone wanting a spork.

    If you're going to post stuff from the thinkgeek newsletter, at least post the best item.

    That said, I could use a spork.

    Thats Crazy Talk

    FOONS?!?! Thats crazy talk. Calling a spork a foon is wrong in many ways. If I had some time I could probaly think of some of those reasons. If you realy want to hear those reasons, use the email.

    I agree

    Although I had to ask myself what one was when I saw the name "Spork".

    Haha, that's just mad!

    Hmm. Titanium? bah. The plastic ones we got in junior high were great. Bend the end of the flat part, and spring it into action against other sporks. Plastic shattering, fingers getting whacked by accident - it was wonderful! Can you have spork fights with titanium? I think not!

    Well if something is broken, we can say "My PC is sporked" or "My ex g/f is sporked in the head" :D

    :lol: :lol: :thumb:

    :eeek: That has got to be the most UNusable "knife" I have ever seen!

    And - IMHO - the best item there is THIS.

    I've got one... pretty cool but it doesn't move about like the plasma orbs do (unless you're touching it, but it doesn't have the same effect). I was only talking about what was in the latest newsletter though.

    The best item they carry is undoubtedly the Case o' Bawls.

    Thanks for the additional info :thumb:

    yeah, I'm not on the mailing list - shipping & duties, etc too pricey by the time it gets to Canada - I keep thinking about ordering anyway - shrug

    Of course you can, it would just be a bit more "mortal combat esque" than with plastic :p

    That's quality. Oh, you need your bike spokes tightening? No problem. I see your golf shoe studs are coming loose. come here and let me sort that for you. At last a tool that can satisfactorily support my varied and exciting lifestyle.

    erm, my email is broken or something, sorry.
