To not give the school a spoon for Uri Geller to bend into a gorilla?

Or maybe I should. It's not that the request for a spoon is unreasonable, it's just the Uri Geller spoon bending gorilla assembly bit is a bit odd.

It's all for a good cause of course. A man with a bicycle powered environmental awareness cinema.

This is the best assembly ever. Better even than the one we had where Kavana came and sang.

I thought I'd dreamt this thread. I saw it briefly earlier and then couldn't find it again - then convinced myself there couldn't actually have been a thread about Uri Geller, spoons and a gorilla.

"Thousands of spoons are not readily available" - I'm stunned by that news. I see spoons littering the streets wherever I go. I'm tripping over spoons just while I'm putting the bins out.

On the other hand, teaspoons have virtually disappeared from our tearoom. We've had to issue a spoon amnesty to try and get some back.

I keep one in my locked drawer now.

This is like a spoon populated parallel univers

We should rename this the drunk thread then all the pissed folk will wonder what the smeg is going on more than usual

I don't think Uri is looking in the right place for his spoons. I've got quite a lot of spoons and they are certainly readily available to me.

The gorilla is to be made of spoons, but 'as convincing as possible,' Geller said

Have they found a gorilla to pose for him? If they do are they going to offer it counselling afterwards, when the fame has gone and its just another z listed celebrity having to appear on Big Brother because its fallen on hard times?

This really made me laugh, golden!! Thank you OP.

Hassled · 07/03/2014 20:44

I wonder what the gorilla that Uri met (how? where? how come I've never met a gorilla?) will make of the spoon model. I bet 5000 spoons that the gorilla will decorate it with straw, and then piss on it.

I heard he was doing this awhile ago, had me in giggles thinking of a gorilla attached to a helicopter! And why of all places are they doing it in oswestry?!

But what do I need to donate to the school to make this thing happen?

I've seen some of the Ironworks animal sculptures in the park in Oswestry. I had no idea they had celebrity connections. I'm sending that ladle.

Let's get this motherjeffing gorilla made, people!

Michael Jackson jackets?

Slubber, offer your services. Uri will need some personal assistance whilst he's in/over Shropshire.

Slubberdegullion · 07/03/2014 21:11

I will do no such thing.

He can do his own bleeding gorilla spoon bending.

Shropshire, gorillas, spoons... That whole connection is such a cliche.
