Fork Ink

It's hard sometimes. Being the avid fork enthusiast. You feel alone, I get it. I've been there. Felt what you've felt. The rest of the world, clambering mindlessly over the draw of a cheap spoon or knife thrill. It seems as though the simple elegance of the fork has been lost on the world. Comparable to the television shows of old like MacGuyver, The A-Team, and who could forget, Knight Rider. Oh KITT, how you used to tickle the subtle fancy of my soul. Classics however, seemed to have been lost and forgotten like the appeal of the unforgettable fork. Spoons and knives have taken the limelight just as reality television and re-makes of classic movies and television shows have. These new movies and shows have no purpose but to suck the unsuspecting into their sticky, fleshy, amorphous orifice that the writers and directors call groundbreaking originality. Spoons and knives are no different you see.

This is why I must exist. I must continue to exaggerate, enunciate, and communicate the real importance that forks hold in our humble existence here on earth. Now...I used to believe I was alone in this mission to open the eyes of the masses. BUT! I am pleased to have stumbled upon a few others. A few others that not only share the love I have with the noble fork, but went so far as to make it a permanent part of their lives. Enjoy.

Although in the company of a spoon and knife, this man clearly recognizes the greatness of the fork as well, and to that I salute him.

Vintage fork. Look at that detail!

Fork Money

By now you should have discovered at least to some degree, the in-depth world that surrounds Forks. Forks, as many of you may know, are part of a group of dining utensils. The other two common utensils are of course spoons and knives. Now there are variations of each of these utensils such as a soup spoon, a butter knife, and the spork. I however do not recognize the spork as utensil and apparently neither does spell-check. It is the small bastard son of Forks everywhere that needs to be cast out of this community. 

Ahem...I digress.

But all of these utensils also share another common name to refer to the group as a whole. Silverware. This of course references some specialty flatware that can be made of silver or silver plated. 

That brings me to my next point. Silver! Measured in troy ounces and current market value stumbling vaguely around $40 a troy ounce, is a precious metal of sorts that is used in all sorts of applications. Coins for example. Quarters and Half dollars are the most common known coins for containing silver. This of course stopped being the case in 1964. 

This however is not a history lesson, nor a coin lesson, nor a history of coin lesson. This is simply the connection that my brain followed step-by-step between Forks and Quarters and how they could be related.

So consequently, this video is indirectly related to Forks!

Forking Love

Love is complex. That much is certain. The subtleties of dating and relationships often drive men and women to act without thinking. Make decisions that seemingly have no consequence and all in the sake of love. When considering all of the ways that we have tried to show affection to one another, only a few have really unearthed the true secret of romance. I happen to be one of those fortunate individuals; however, I have discovered another. The secret you see, lies with forks.

Observe.

Learn from this man as I did, and relationship confusion and mystery will be a thing of the past.
