spoon: All Hail The Spoon!

[8butterflyboy8.livejournal.com]

Time Period: Vague future, post-"Secundus"
Notes: Just a silly piece featuring a sleep-deprived Victor. The "spoon as a battle cry" bit is a reference to "The Tick," while "Spoony" is a shout-out to the internet reviewer of the same name on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com.

“Do you know what’s a funny word?”
“What?”
“Spoon.”
“Spoon’s funny?”
“Spoon’s really funny! Spoooon. Spoon. Spoon. You say it enough times and it stops making sense!”
“Really.”
“Yes! Think about it. Spoon. It really doesn’t mean anything. It’s just what we named a certain utensil. We could have used it as a battle cry if we wanted.”
“. . .A battle cry?”
“Why not? Imagine how confused and frightened the enemy would be if we came charging down the hill at them shouting ‘SPOOOOON!’”
“Confused, certainly. . . .”
“Or we could use it as a name! Spoon. Spoony! Good for a boy or a girl! Though I get the feeling it would go better with a boy. . . .”
“All right, Victor, I’m taking this as an object lesson. No matter how much you plead with me, never let you stay up for more than two nights in a row to finish a project. Come on, we’re going to bed.”
“Spoonerfly!”
“Later!”
