In honor of our possible record setting wooden spoon season (is it possible we could have a perfect 0 wins?) I felt that we should discuss wooden spoons from around the world. Cooking wooden spoons, ceremonial wooden spoons, combat related wooden spoons, songs about wooden spoons, wooden spoon poetry, etc. There is a plentitude of wooden spoon information out there just waiting to be shared. To get things started, I present the Lovespoon: From Wikipedia: "A Lovespoon is a wooden spoon decoratively carved that was traditionally presented as a gift of romantic intent. The spoon is normally decorated with symbols of love, and was intended to reflect the skill of the carver. Due to the intricate designs, lovespoons are no longer used as functioning spoons and are now decorative craft items."
In honor of the latest loss in the quest for the perfect wooden spoon I present to you the "Tactical Wooden Spoon": When your tactics get you perilously close to a win just put in a few more defenders, grab your tactical wooden spoon, and PRESTO! You have incremented that "L" column once agin!
Another loss. Another step toward the perfect wooden spoon season. Let's hope our interim coach proves more of an exterminator than the previous one.
Unlike most pictures or in fact most actual wooden spoons if you are going to actually use the spoon to cook you want one with a squared off end to better scrape the best parts off the bottom of the pan: https://www.seriouseats.com/2017/10/best-wooden-spoon.html
At 0W-8L-2T, should be among the worst ever start to a season? Only second to the 9-straight opening loss by TFC in 2012 as below: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Soccer_records_and_statistics#Losing_streaks
With three slots in the bowl to represent three goals allowed, and a big hole at the top of the handle to represent the lack of a head coach, this spoon perfectly represents our latest step toward the perfect wooden spoon season! Yay Rapids!
For only $26.99 we could have a personalized wooden spoon made with the name of "he who shall not be named" on it https://www.amazon.com/Custom-Personalized-Kitchen-Personalised-Painted/dp/B075SQ1R8H
Well, there's goes perfection... But a single W in the spoon can't totally derail our record setting season.
Well, we're in troubled times in Rapid land. The spoon is in doubt now, what with two wins in a row. I'm hedging my bets this week.
