Spork Vandal


For Christmas I received a bamboo spork, among other things. Cody thought it would make a nice backpacking accessory, and I agree with him. Light. Strong. Functional. Multi-use. That's the type of item just made for backpacking. I left the spork on the floor in the living room for the night. 

A little more plot development is needed here. Brian and Michelle brought their adorable beagle Moab to stay, too. He's as cute as can be. Doesn't say much. He is a real slave to his nose, being a pure bred hunting dog. He'll trail his masters through the yard or through a city block of concrete and asphalt. A true master of tracking. He's got a run of the house because he's behaved. At least that's the prevailing belief.

We all go to bed and in the morning I find the spork is eaten in half, with the tines nowhere to be found. We ask Moab if he saw anything and he just looks at us with that cute mug. Couldn't have been him. I guess we'll never know.

The spork is made by bambu and marketed as picnic ware. I found where they bought it (a kitchen supply store) and went back and bought two. We'll try them out.

We didn't think of DNA testing! And if it's like TV crime shows, that will just take a minute or two. Thanks.

How funny! I just happen to know what they are because my son had one, lost it and asked me to get him more and send to him in Japan (Navy Pilot). He loves his - although his are plastic. I ordered from rei.com. Hope you enjoy your new ones.

We have a lab who would have chewed more than the tines off! LOL!! Great page to remember the event.

With three starving (they tell me) black labs over here nothing is sacred.
