No, Okie is kind of a realist.

Put down the silly bamboo sticks and be yourself.

Heh.

I have the standard cutlery in my kitchen. Thanks for asking.

I don't use chopsticks, mostly because I'm hopelessly inept at them, but I don't think people using them are quite ready to piss on Old Glory.

You use chopstick when you are trying to look cultured and diverse.

Okie, I need your opinion on the fact that the ancient Chinese used spoons almost 2,000 years ago, which according to my back of the envelope calculations is almost 1,600 years before Brotrucks, BBQ, fixie bikes, forks, Instagraming your ravioli, Busch Lite, and America.



Using a spoon in 'Murca: Yay.............................................or Gay?

I think some people may but others do not. The hipster douche bags you are talking about may very well be doing it for those reasons. Myself, I use them because a fork ruins my food.

Busch Lite have birth to water.

Besides isn't that what Jesus had when he founded Jamestown with 200 angels?

If this link works.......you'll imagine Okie this way. He reminds me of this guy.

I don't use them. I believe I said that already.

I bet they use them because that's how the people who created that food eat it. Additionally, they probably don't give a **** how they look to you.

Well, I really don't see what the big deal about that stuff is anyway. Like I said, it reminds me of Pinesol. That green paste is great for clearing out my sinuses, bus so is a glob of horseradish on a roast beef sandwich with mustard.

It's just not good enough to go to all this thinking and trouble.

I like it.

Granted, I wouldn't put it in my top 5 but pizza isn't in my top5 foods either.

There are always people who try to think that the type of food they eat, their clothes, etc make them cultured or chiq but that isn't the rule.

I wear a Polo hat 90% of the time I'm not working. That means a lot to the look of college frat guys. I wear it now because it's comfortable and I like it not because I'm trying to identify. It's the same idea with those hipster idiots and others.

Take it back about the Busch lite!!!

and yea, when we make indian food we often use just the Naan and our fingers to eat. No utensils at all! except to serve the stuff. lol

all in the comfort of our own home, not real concerned about the hipsters approval... *shrug*

Oddly enough, I was in Japan and China in September. I didn't use chopsticks there because they always brought us western utensils. I don't speak more than 20 words of Japanese and less than 10 words in Mandarin so I just didn't bother.

I'll be damned... I figured that as heavy of a "same & same activist" as you are, that you'd choose to eat rice with rice and not with something that is actually supposed to be matched with it.

Peanuts aren’t native to Asia… Kung Pao and I don’t have a problem with that.

It's a matter of practicality. Not fashion. Not a political statement....which is obviously what the hipsters are going for.

That's right. Using chopsticks = trying to force gay marriage on everyone. I mean think about it...rubbing two sticks together? It's so obvious.

It's fork and spoon, not Adam and Steve.

If the Wiki is lying to me, I don't know what to believe anymore.

Boy, you are making a huge leap. I am starting to think you may be one of these hipsters suffering an identity crisis. BTW, those jeans are so tight I can see your balls.
