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.
