Why would you do that, when a grapefruit spoon would work so much better?? Why don't you just go into my utensil drawer and get out the grapefruit spoon I have, like I assume everyone else in the world can???

I'm done now.

Why would you use chopsticks instead of an egg flipper? Or even a fork? Anything with a flat surface to slide underneath the thing you're turning would be better than chopsticks.

Chopsticks are often squared to have four flat surfaces. Why use 1 surface when you can use 4 and some angles?

i dunno if this is the one you're thinking of

Some Internet Guy posted:

A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan . One of the courses had a professor who was a vowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, “God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I’ll give you exactly 15 minutes.” The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.

Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, “Here I am God. I’m still waiting.” It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and lifted up his arm to strike him.

At that moment the professor was transformed into a 7-foot grizzly, wreathed in a halo of holy fire. The bear spoke: "Blasphemer thou art, thou thinkst to take the place of God? Those who deny me face eternal fire, but you who knows my work and yet commits the sin of Satan I curse a hundred times over!" The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently picking at his boils. Then Richard Dawkins burst into the room, wielding a copy of The Selfish Gene and crying "Leave that boy alone, you pathetic atavism!" As the holy bear whirled around, terrible light flashing in its eyes, Dawkins shed his mortal form, raised each of his seven horned heads, and hissed. "It'ssss me you want!". And then the Lord and the Antichrist joined in the final battle.

The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence.

I think the more important question is why Tiggum thinks a spatula is called an "egg flipper".

TheWeepingHorse
Nov 20, 2009

There are, apparently, spatulas called egg flippers? Because they're small, and I assume because their edges are sharp enough to easily scrape off an egg? Maybe some people call small spatulas egg flippers, in the same way that a not-sharp knife is a butter knife?

Anyway, as far as chopsticks go, they're much better for picking up individual solid things. Shrimp is a perfect example. I would also add to the fire by saying that chopsticks are categorically better for long, thin noodles, whereas some kinds of rice dishes are better with a fork. And of course we all know the old bit about how Cheetos are best eaten with chopsticks.

Also, I'm not sure if adding chopsticks for plating is any more or less inherently weird than serving beer in a stein as opposed to a coffee mug, or if I were to serve red wine in a glass without a stem. The difference is more culturally-bound than not. If I were to plate spaghetti and meatballs with chopsticks, what would people say?

Sure, but that's kinda my point, even? The difference between a stein and a mug is culturally-bound, but it's a real difference nonetheless. "Beer should not be served in a 'normal' mug" is no more or less arbitrary than "Italian noodles should be plated with a fork, whereas Chinese noodles should be plated with chopsticks".

If God wanted you to use chopsticks, or waste time on discussing them, he would have mentioned them in the Bible.

Serving beer in a coffee mug isn't a cultural thing it's a "this person has never even seen a beer before, let alone drank one" thing

To me it seems nice in a weird way. Like if it's some terrible beer that your just having with one of your mates before you go out. And you know the night out is going to be poo poo, and the moment when it's just you all together chatting poo poo and talking about anything is more fun.

My favorite thing about the quote thread is when people continue on the conversation from the quote, rather than clicking the link for the quote and talking about it there. (CLICK HERE TO DISCUSS THIS QUOTE)
Can I discuss the quote here, or should I click the link?

edited to add: In prudish countries like my homeland, where they have laws against walking around with open booze, beer in a travel mug is far less likely to attract unwanted attention than in a clear glass or an open bottle/can.
