Eating dinner using chopsticks

Just been out for a Thai meal and I used chopsticks to eat.
I'm a bit messy at it but it's great :D
I'd forgotten how much fun it was. Do people who use
chopsticks find it fun eating with a fork?

Thai beer is nice. SINGHA!

i love thai!! i use chopsticks as often as i can and moan
when they don't include any in my take-away. love the singha
too, as a lot of other asian beers.

Thai food is very nice, but i'm nowhere near dextrous enough
to use chopsticks. My hands don't work that way for some
reason.

you don't really need dexterity for using chopsticks, more a
sheer bloodymindedness.

they're great - use them a lot. i once caught a fortune
cookie that was hurled from across the room using standard
wooden chopsticks.

Using chopsticks usually makes me think:

"WHY THE FUCK IS THIS INSANE CUTLERY EVEN LEGAL, NEVER MIND
SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE? I WANT TO EAT FROM A TROUGH,
BIIIIIITCH".

True story.

chopsticks makes you enjoy your meal much longer, if you use
just one you can enjoy your meal for days

i think forks are scary depending on how you look at them.

my two older step brothers used to fight a lot as kids, the
worst cases being a cracked skull and a fork in the
forehead! gay.

i'd hate to have someone shove me while i'm eating and ram
the fork into my soft palate.

maybe we can discuss the difference between the history of
the fork and the history of chopsticks. I think the history
of chopsticks is logical; people just broke some branches of
a three and started to eat their food without getting dirty
hands, The history of the fork? i dunno

I don't think anyone would appreciate a fork being
jammed into their forehead. That'd just be silly.

here's a gay one:
in hell you all have to eat with chopsticks but they are
too long and you have to hold them at the end wich makes it
impossible to put the other end to your mouth, everyone is
well hungry.
in heaven on the other hand they all eat plenty yet they
have the same obligations with the long sticks, but they
feed each other see...

a fork is just a stick with a few prongs added - probably
started with pricking your food on a twig and then eating
it.

a smaller chopstick?

Forks are good to hold up to your eye and look at your boss,
imagining he's in prison.

similar.
i thought it was to taunt your boss...

well, it doesn't matter how gay it is (although it certainly
is rife with faggotry), it makes me feel all warm and
tingly.

or is that the beer finally kicking in?

I'm waaaaaay ahead of you there, brother Alex.



no, that's not true. I shall have to quickly crack open
another bottle!

this evening I'm entertaining myself with a delightful
Belgian beer called "Leffe", the "blonde" kind:

i can't use chopsticks the way it is meant to be used (i was
NEVER skilled at anything physical or manual, i remember
when i was a little kid how long it look me to learn how to
tie my shoelaces for example... actually when i think of it
it amazes me how i can play video games o_O), every time
someone shows me the proper way to use chopsticks, i try, i
get it wrong, they show me again, i try again another way
but it's still wrong, etc... most of the time when i try to
get it right i end up getting either "the helicopter", or
two chopsticks blocked, or one blocked and one completely
out of control. and either me, or the person who shows me,
or us both, get pissed off and give up.

but i can eat using them anyway, in an uncorrect way but
which kinda works... more or less easily (sometimes it
"snaps" and the food flies over to some place but not very
often anymore)... so it's ok i guess! : )

Goodness! Would that be some sort of "weissbier" or
something? I have a love-hate relationship with beers of
this kind. They don't make me burpy, but i've yet to find
one that doesn't have an undertone of vileness.

Oh no, that's "blanche", not "blonde". I'd delete this post
but i can't be arsed. I'll shut up and get back to my jack
daniels, bought with today's payday wages.

It's almost like a stream of consciousness thing i've got
going here. Amazing.
