Lunchtime Look-a-Like

Is it me, or could these two be brothers?

Sean William Scott

Andy Roddick
As a woman, I can say that both of these men are extremely attractive. I would pick Sean any day, because he's just so damn funny, but don't get me wrong, I wouldn't refuse Andy!

Apparently, other people think this as well as I was able to find this online once I made the comparison in my own mind!

Irrational Rant...Soup Spoons


Who's ready for some irrationality?  This is going to sound insane, but I f*cking hate soup spoons.  Now, let's get this out there too, I am not the world's biggest fan of soup either.  I mean, it's fine, but I don't get a soup boner when someone busts out a can of Campbell's.  

According to Wikipedia, "The Western soup spoon, is the shape and size of a dessert spoon (ie smaller than a tablespoon), but with a deeper, more circular bowl for holding liquid. Modern soup spoons are typically of stainless steel or silver, but in the past wooden and horn spoons were more common. The idea of including a separate soup spoon in a table setting originated in the 18th century, when bowl shapes varied widely, deep or shallow, oval, pointed, egg-shaped or circular. Spoon shapes became more standardized in 19th century silverware.

In Western etiquette, the soup spoon is placed innermost to the right of the plate on which the soup bowl will be set, with smaller spoons ranged outside it."
So, there's the history behind it.  Strangely enough, I actually dig Asian soup spoons, probably because they are a bit exotic and add a little excitement to a meal.  They are like the Lucy Liu of utensils.



I don't know why I have always hated soup spoons, but I think they're just really smug, and smugness is not a good quality.  I think that's it.  Soup spoons think they're so great, better than all the other utensils.  Well, guess what, soup spoons, f*ck you.  You aren't great.  I have to do way too much work to get food out of you.  They're too deep and I end up hitting my front teeth on the part where the back of the rounded portion meets the handle and then I just get pissed off and it ruins my day.  There's just too much slurping and to much effort required.
