This has come up in at least one other post, and quite frequently in the last 48 hours so I thought it was time to lay down the law. The law(s) of spooning that is.
Neeraj âRichieâ Banerji astutely observed:
âSpooning is like currency in your room!â
Itâs true. Spooning is like currency. The ULTIMATE currency that is.
I donât understand how you people canât like spooning.

And by âyou peopleâ I mean âyou people that give me pitying looks and mock my inclinations to spoon.â Iâm looking at you, Richie Banerji , Josh Patashnik , and Ariana Kroshinsky .
So I did some research to figure out why these lovely people wouldnât like spooning. Hereâs what I found:

Teddy âspooningâ with Richie.

Ariana bit me when I asked her to spoon at Unoâs.

Josh, I have to admit, Iâm a little surprised youâre not a spooning fan after thisâ¦
So for these three lovelies, I have written this treatise on spooning. As in, lots of lovely pictures of people with whom you should be spooning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Letâs start with a couple donâts.
1. Donât count on spooning with spoon teases

If anyone is willing to sell 1 commencement ticket to me for my
godmother, I will happily give you
my unyielding love and affection and some sort of monetary payment.
Please let me know,

Care to join?
Maybe David will spoon with me for > 5 min
Leah

2. When the going gets toughâ¦.

A gift from my Stinkler

3. We never came up with a name for ourselves, but Team Spoon works well.

Tracy was the inspiration for my photoshopping skills which I have employed vigorously in my posts:


Andrew Stillman likes my photoshopping so I made one especially for him. Maybe he will spoon with me.

4. I love (spooning with) my friends

5 And, for a special treat, Iâve included a lesson in what not to do with spooning, courtesy of our intern.




Iâll let this one pass by on the effort scale.
So, in conclusion, MORE SPOONING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
