Fall in troops! We're becoming far too complacent, and need to train! This is the place to do it. We'll start with some simple smiley - spork thrusts! Ready! One smiley - spork! Two smiley - spork! Three smiley - spork!

You can borrow one of mine if you want, I've got two.
*Pulls both sporks out from over shoulders and crosses them in a menacing fashion*
Behold... the bearer of two sporks!
If you don't want one, I might weld them together and create a double-ended spork!

As relic bearer, I think I should be excluded from all this physical activity. I'll stand at the side, looking wise and uttering philosophical encouragements at opportune moments.

Nice song. What about a marching one:
smiley - musicalnote I love thrusting for Captain Shea
Makes me want to say Hurray!smiley - musicalnote

Hmm, that doesn't sound right. Anyone got a tuning smiley - spork?

smiley - musicalnote Thrust all night and thrust all day;
Thrust your smiley - sporks for Captain Shea!
Thrust all day and thrust all night;

*Clears throat*

Spork Fever

I must down to the training grounds, to the training grounds and the sky,
And all I ask is a titanium spork and a song to thrust it by,
And a wonder llama and a curious hamster and a pair of lethal long johns,
And a sarcastic captain and a flying ostrich and a few other people come on.

Sorry, not everyone's name would fit in the rhyme scheme.
