I'm am told that Geneva is a subdued, even boring town located at the foot of a mountain range next to a pristine lake in central Europe. I've been here for a week and I do not know the Geneva these people describe. This place is crazy. It may have something to do with Switzerland advancing to the second round of the World Cup for the first time in forever. Last night I watched the game against S. Korea in a city square on a big screen with thousands of my new, cow bell-ringing, Swiss (or Suisse or Schweiiz depending on which language you are speaking) friends. Yes, these people will never need more cow bell. As evidence, I shot video of the aftermath just off the square. Needless to say, it quickly became a sillyass Swiss dance party... (sound fun, huh)
More pictures of me and the crazy Swiss can be found at nickgoesswiss.dell.shutterfly.com

Taking things out of context is funny

". . . anything you do that allows balls to get driven in your box . . ." -some guy calling the match on espn

On the topic of Sporks
I have been thinking a lot lately about the spork. Yes, that crazy inbred contraption made famous by Taco Bell that claims to be both fork and spoon. It is true, I used to be pro-spork, but you know what... nay I say... down with the spork! It is a bastardly utensil lacking in both form and function.
Look at the fork; it is undeniably useful in its main function of stabbing food to carry it safely and neatly to ones mouth. As well, it has a secondary function as a handy slicing too when turned on edge and used as a knife. Wow, what a brilliant little device. Truly ground-breaking if you ask me.
And the spoon... while the concept of the spoon is only a glorified version of ones own cupped hand, it serves well to keep us clean and full. A remarkable example of refinement through ingenuity.
Now the fucking spork. Compared to a fork, the only genetic similarity are the three small tines protruding from the end, which have mutated from four full sized tines. These tines are useless for anything but the most basic of food delivery and impractical in times of hurried consumption. Although lacking the proper nomenclature of foon, the spork derives most of it characteristics from the common spoon. However, liquid transportability has been compromised due to the slots developed in hybridization, thus making the spork much less useful than the spoon. As far a cutting abilities, the spork is much less useful than a fork, and arguably worse than a spoon due to the weakened leading edge.
In conclusion, I find that the spork is dead to me as a favorite utensil. To all those that claim it as your #1, may I suggest that you look yourself in the eyes, and ask "Do I really love the spork?". Don't be surprised to find yourself weeping upon the realization that you have, once again, joined the band-wagon.
Fuck the Foon.
