And he can write with his voice! But you are obviously attempting to derail this thread from comparing national technique in the traditional art of spoon playing... Corona. |

The Scotty Brothers play for the USA!!! Although several judges are murmuring that Gordon may be using a little Vietnamese technique here and there to pepper things up. This will horrify some of the traditionalists. More soon, after the following commercial inanities.... This just in!!!! In a shock decision sure to fuel international tension, the Russians have been disqualified for using wooden spoons!!! |

Okay, you saw through my blatant ploy of derailing the competition.
So, for Canada, I will nominate: Cyrille the Spoonman http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2004/12/1......215.html or Vazzy http://www.vazzy.ca/vazzy_english.htm They all appear to do an Acadian style of spoon playing. Sadly, I can find no video clips of the above performers. Artis the Spoonman knows his stuff, but his nationality is a mystery to me (probably American, though): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3TFkvEmBYM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksbkLGr1nmk Finally, I can't imagine this guy playing the spoons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo-OBJf-mrw

".....under a new law banning spoon-playing on a downtown street."
With this kind of attitude Canada will not fair well in the Spoon playing events at the Olympics.  |

Oh my God this is devastating for Artis's hopes. Although popular with the crowds, he failed a drug test!!!

Another maverick there. I am warming to Artis the spoonman, I think the final will see a head to head between he and Vietnam (as long as he can go clear on the next random drug test).

Here is a talent far superior to spoon playing:

I couldn't agree less. Battering stuff with your head requires none of the dilligence, grace and skill that is needed to play the spoons up to international competition standards.
Guinness book of records are a joke. How dare they allow this as a world record yet dismiss my record breaking precedent as 'not having enough international competition'? They'll pay for that, you'll see.... Corona. |

This is typical, Canadians trying to make every thread about Canada. We started in Vietnam, the birthplace of the spoon, don't forget it...

That must have been an uncomfortable pregnancy..... And what was the father thinking? You don't do that with a spoon. Spoons are for eating, not reproduction.

As self Appointed King of the World, and after extensive deliberation with myself, I have magnanimously decided to crown, as Champion Spoon Player of the World.....
