Original message
This evening, an attempt was made on my life.
The perpetrators are in the custody of law enforcement, being interrogated to discern their motive in this fiendish and cowardly attack on my person, and to determine whether they were acting on their own or were agents of some other person or group of persons. I am OK physically, though I am a bit shaken. Authorities are not revealing the assailants' names at this time, but have authorized me to reveal that their sporks have been confiscated as evidence.

I will be identifying the assailants out of a lineup tomorrow.

16. Dude, I was just minding my own business.
Cleveland has been plagued with marauding spork-gangs for decades; sooner or later it was bound to be my time to encounter one. I emerge from this a stronger man.

9. Did they scratch your tongue??
They fool you into thinking they are smooth like a spoon, and those pointy things go after your tongue. I think this is the modus operandi of the spork. It is an insidious little object, surreptitiously lulling you into a sense of security, then coiling up to attack!!

:D

26. It has been found that if you hit someone hard enough with a Spork, that
you could pretty much gut them on the spot....but I think that would be a skill that's only available to people who are proficient with the use of a spork, and those people can be pretty fucking dangerous if you provoke them at the wrong time. I know....I've held a spork at an assailant when threatened, and I damn near took out their testicles with it.

Initally, I thought it was a joke. So I was gonna post something snarky without really reading it. Then, I decided to read it and I thought it was serious. Whew! Good thing I didn't post something snarky. So, I scroll down and it's a line-up of sporks!

You bastard...

An alert suddenly becomes an "attempt on your life?" And with a spork, no less? I see a shot of thorazine in your near future, my friend.
