Balispork [tm]
Jan. 23rd, 2007 01:10 pmThe titanium spork is a damn neat thing, and the folding (that's "tactical") one is nifty in a super-compact-who-cares-about-usability gear geek way. But the market is missing a rapid-deployment spork - the spoon/fork combo with an edge of menace. The solution? Balispork! A folding butterfly knife handle containing a slim spork. Much cooler than the flick spork (which also doesn't exist) as it takes real skill to deply before you tuck into your ramen noodles halfway up a mountain.
I haven't invented one or even put it on my project list. This is just prior art in case I can make zillions on the idea. As the world goes to hell in a handbasket, you have to look cool in more and more desperate situations. Trailhead chic, baby, trailhead chic.
And don't confuse "flick spork" with "spork flick" - a spork flick is a sports-chick flick. Think Bend It Like Beckham. No, really.
