Ok, granted, I am brand spankin new here, so maybe I just haven't poked around the site enuff...
but can someone explain all the spoons? I even saw a knife. I get the HAF logo merged with the Darwin fish....but why spoons? Thank you!
We get our spoons when we reach 1000 posts and The Magic Pudding customizes them for us.
It's a sort of evolved culture driven by the unique creative talents of the members allowed to run riot ;D
Feel free to add your unique flavour to the continuum!
Oh, okay, cool. Thanks for the answer!
In my case, it's what Nursie feeds me with.

Actually your question raises a more important issue. That is how does one join in with an established group, in this case a forum? It's difficult, it really is. And you know I don't have a 'sound bite' answer. One attribute of people who succeed here is to be those willing to be open and honest. I'm sure there are others.
When the conversations get deep, they're a gentle reminder that we need to take the time to eat :)

Anyways, welcome BonaireBound!
"What's with all the cutlery?"
I gave newcomers a complementary stainless steel knife for a while. It was just an extension of the perennial steak knife joke. No one adopted one as a signature picture.
Some time later xSilverPhinx reached 2,000 posts and I gave her the first gold knife. She started using it as a signature pic and the cutlery infestation took hold.
I think those memorabilia spoons are kind of quaint, I've got a Kangaroo Valley one. For a while I was a volunteer guide at an Historic site. They had souvenir spoons and my ambition was to sell one. I created a full screen animation of a stirring spoon. Bin Laden and a few local politicians would fade in and out as reflections in the spoon. With the help of the animation my ambition to sell a spoon was achieved and my motivation to guide withered as the weekends grew warmer.
I'm not sure if the word "stirrer" is used elsewhere as it is here. It can be a serious thing or merely a tease.
So the future holds forks and corkscrews, sounds interesting.

Spoons - because we stir up shit ;D
Knives - because we cut through bad arguments.
Forks - because we eat up the camaraderie here.
Corkscrews - because we like winers, but not whiners.

And scissorlegs, I can only assume the mods own the HAF utility drawer. So if those scissors are for cutting to the quick, let's give them some safety-scissors, yes? :D

Chocolate ice cream?
Oh yes. Though, as far as I'm concerned, the only bad kind of ice cream is grape-nut.

I've been to a restaurant called Garlic's before, where most of their dishes were served featuring garlic. Including the ice cream. I tried a bite of someone's, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The garlic was sweeter, somehow. But it was just an odd taste to have in ice cream.

We occasionally have whacky, fun nights at our house with family and friends. One time, we had an "eat everything with a spoon" night. I served spaghetti. The children who were in the house took great delight in saying "whoops!" as their spaghetti slipped and slid everywhere but into their mouths. :D

Is this a reference to a certain anime?
In further exhibition of my dorkery, the Doctor once commented after defeating an enemy that his success was due to having something the opposition did not: a teaspoon and an open mind. :D
