Today's Blog of the Day is Christopher "Spoons" Kanis' The Spoons Experience. I could say that Spoons is more Catholic than the Pope, more pro-Israel than Ariel Sharon or that he feels worse about the Cubs defeat than Steve Bartman does. But that would be silly. And in each case an understatement.
I have no idea why he calls himself Spoons, and the Spoons Facts page doesn't solve the mystery either. He used to post a picture of himself smoking a cigar, but that seems to have disappeared.
If you're ever in Seattle, Spoons, I'd be honored to take you out for a cigar and a glass of Scotch.
P.S. Thanks to Spoons' request, the Shark Blog now pings weblogs.com whenever I post an update.

Thanks much for the kind words, of course, and I'd reciprocate the offer if you're ever in central Illinois. Laura doesn't like cigars or scotch, but she wants to know if she can come too and get your autograph. She describes you as "totally the man," and I fear she may like your blog almost as much as mine.
Posted by: Spoons on October 17, 2003 08:20 PMChris would like to "reciprocate the offer if you're ever in central Illinois."!? Heck, if you're ever in *O'Hare*, we'll drive up to meet you. Three hours--- who cares? How often can one meet the super-cool right-thinking polyglot author of *Ssshark*blog (written to convey my preferred pronunciation).
Me, a blogger groupie? Well yeah, but that's how Chris met me, so he can't (OK, *shouldn't*) complain about my interest. :) And I swear, I haven't asked out any other bloggers since we got engaged.
And anyway, Stefan's taken.
