That narration sounds like it is 30 seconds away from talking about how everyone got murdered.

I've heard that the backstory to that strip is that the Family Circus guy's son is a big Warhammer fan

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

The shovel grip is for people with motor deficiencies. Nobody over the age of 4 with full motor function would hold a fork that way. Don’t mock.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

The fork actually has these pointy ends on it specifically so you don’t need a second utensil to make it work. You just stab poo poo with the fork then put it in your mouth. I know it sounds crazy but trust me.

This might sound crazy but stabbing poo poo with a fork causes a great deal of noise and as a youngster I was taught by force that we're to be seen and not heard. I keep the habit up in my latter years because it actually allows me to spear more lettuce by pushing several leaves together into a bundle

I see people using shovel grip a lot in commercials, for some reason. Like it's an unwritten rule used in commercials. From the same batch of rules that potato chip bags must have a perfect, non-crimped top edge, honey must be ladled out from bizarre beehive shaped wands, and women need to look like they're getting away with something when they enjoy food.

I grew with up with a surprising number of friends whose used the shovel grip, some of whom still do as adults. I don't think it was a motor skills issue as much as it was how we were all raised in very poor, very rural homes. I grew up in the same situation, but my mother was a stickler about manners. At lunch in grade school, my friends would poke fun at me (not in a mean spirited way) for eating "correctly" whatever that really means. Most of those friends' families had no use for table manners, and some of them came from situations where, if you didn't shovel as much food in your mouth as you could as fast as possible, you missed out.
