Flatware Gift Hits Target: Sticks

63 Valley St outsider Ramji _______ hit the bulls-eye when he gifted a Melio Frosted/ Mirror-Finish 20-pc. Flatware Set to Pam Hughes this past Friday afternoon. Featuring Target's legendary tasteful design, the set of knives, forks and spoons promises to breath new life into everyday dining at the Corral. So far, user-satisfaction ratings have identified forks (both salad and dinner) as the head-and-shoulders standout of the collection. The ratings, which include factors such as "luster," "balance" and "pokiness" clearly reveal "quantity" as the most popular quality of the new forks.

Prior to the new acquisition, the fork to knife/spoon ratio was disastrously unbalanced, resulting in the need for plastic fork re-usage, disproportionally frequent dirty-fork washing, and general roommate unrest.

Said longtime resident Josh Flasher, "Listen. Its no secret that cowboys are the most rugged, rough-and-tumble uber-resourceful creatures ever to walk the open prairie-land of the wild wild west, except for maybe indians and Will Smith. MacGyver was a cowboy, for example. They can pretty much do whatever they want, whenever they want. But have you ever tried to eat pasta with a spoon? Let's just say I'm really happy about the new forks."

Jessica expressed approval with a simple yet equally indicative "Ohh! YAAAAAY!"

Only Michelle has refrained from comment on the new forks. "I really like the big new spoons. The handles are nice and strong; really good for digging into frozen dairy products." Links between this comment and the appearance of a fresh carton of Thrifty's Chocolate Malted Crunch ice cream in the freezer remain unconfirmed.
