Once they're nice and sharp I pierce my nipples with them...then turn them like a propeller and pretend I'm a B-25

Sharp sticks and body art go hand in hand. 😂

I have a tub of grease for bike builds at my work-stand. It has a chopstick in it of the kind where you split the two and the top has flat sides. It is upside-down in the pot. I like the synthetic silicone grease, it works great and does not smell. Oh, how about hitting a chopstick with a book against drywall behind a hanging picture, making a small hole and moving the insulation with it so you can be a spy and use a wine glass to monitor the conversation in the next room?


As I count we are up to 31. Only 969 to go to reach our collective goal! Wait, there's more.
 
WWBD, What Would Buffy Do if she encountered the Cybertuck Mux-monster, if she had a chopstick?
 
I will rinse off a gravel bike and head to the place that plays 'She'll Be Comin' Round The Mountain' on a single string Chinese banjo for some Mongolian lamb. I will use the chopsticks as spears to release the steam from the piping hot eggrolls before dipping them in plumb sauce. The reason you do not cut or chop with chopsticks is because that is uncivil at the table. In Asia all the cutting and chopping happens unseen, back in the kitchen. That is unless you can remember Benihana from the '80's.
 
Benihana was great! Onion volcanoes, flying shrimp, strangers at your table, shiny sharp things moving fast, and catching broccoli in your hat. I can never forget. Haha
 
I did research chopsticks many years ago, and I found they started with the big spring loaded laundry clamp style kitchen utensils.
They were perfect for the sticky rice balls in a time where meat was very expensive and it was just shredded and mixed in.
Our chinese meals are very slippy with sauces on everything, so grabbing with two smooth sticks is going to be quite a challenge.
I do believe their chief use on the table is sticking them into mini sausages and doing a sort of can can dance to the tired amusement of your fellow diners.
 
Somewhat OT. When we were small, we found an abacus. Turned it upside down and use it like a skateboard. Grandpa was pretty mad. It's mine now, stored away somewhere.

I recall eating at a swanky place in Beijing on a tour of China 20 years ago, The waitress kept coming by and discreetly placed my chopsticks on the holder. Was it to show me how elegant people dine or to keep the tablecloth cleaner?

I think that in your Grandpa's honor, you should bring out your abacus and let one of your small grandchildren ride it, fully powered up with a leaf blower.

The kid would need need to earn the right to ride it first by learning about Great Grandpa and how to count with it, before it gets supercharged.

Bob and Doug were the inspiration for all Canadians in the early 80's.
Mike Myers is a Canadian from Toronto.

My friend and I started watching SCTV in 1979 and we saw the first episode of Bob and Doug in Sept 1980.
It Blew our Fricken Minds !! 😂
I don't think I had ever laughed so hard in my life up until that point.
(Then we discovered 🍻 and started laughing harder. 😂)

Within a few months, everyone who was anyone, was talking like Bob and Doug.
My mother HATED It.

"Why are you two talking so Stupid ?!?!!"

I remember talking to our grade 11 English teacher about our national heroes, and he said "There are actually people who talk like that."

Non of us in class believed him.
NOBODY actually talks like that !!??

As it turns out.
Some of us Canucks actually do talk like that.
On purpose.
And they can't help it. 😂


PS,.. A Hoser is someone who steals gas from cars at night with a gas can and a length of garden hose.
Back in the days when gas caps weren't locked.

PSS,.. Bob and Doug were so popular and part of our Canadian culture that even the government got involved and made a postage stamp in their honor with a Big Capital letter "A" in the top righthand corner.

Instead of the proper English spelling "EH", like in the Andy Capp Cartoons that you're probably familiar with?
The government suits didn't have a fricken clue.

We were all supposed to stick the stamps on upside-down in protest eh.

PSSS,.. In the first Wayne's World movie, the guys were laying on the hood of their car and watched a jet fly overhead.
That was filmed in Toronto on Silver Dart Lane.

I was there about 30 years ago with my sister and brother-in-law who lived near the Toronto International Airport.
It was pretty 😎
You could see the people in the jets looking out their windows just 20 feet above our heads. 😂

I remember the whistling of the Star Trek theme, I was less cynical in those days and never thought it might not be him doing it.
