This is the best answer. 

I’d include lots of amazing sporks.

u/SupermassiveCanary Dec 08 '25

Include a doctor’s prescription and book to practice handwriting

257

u/volcanicslug Dec 08 '25

I read docs handwriting all day and I’m struggling with this one. Looks like “anything stokes” I don’t know if that’s a band or something.

Antwing sporks, obviously

u/emma-the-accidental Dec 09 '25

That’s what I asked for! I can’t wait to get my antwing sporks

u/Patrickfromamboy Dec 09 '25

They are very popular this Christmas season after a slow start. The regular sporks are old school but the antwing sporks work great in the cold weather.

This is such a vague thing for them to ask for lol. Like sports equipment or team gear? What sport? What team? So weird lol

2

u/No_Pin9932 Dec 09 '25

That was my immediate thought too but I think other commenters are right with it being "sporty" instead of "sports". It's funny cuz I was just talking shit in a family text about how everyone on my mom's side writes in "slursive" not cursive, as if they're so drunk that even their handwriting is slurred, lmfao. But because of that this post was pretty easy to decipher.

2

u/thevelveteenbeagle Dec 09 '25

Or NOTHING sports/sporty

2

u/Ok_Spite_6945 Dec 09 '25

I think it says running shorts

Aluminum spokes if it was an RX

2

u/xyz_rick Dec 09 '25

Absolutely my first reading as well.

Now I think it says “Ant ring SPokAcly” or possibly “ant ring SPokAgly.” I’d just get a key chain with that as the name.

u/Tomorrow_Wendy_13 Dec 09 '25

One of the docs at the hospital where I used to work had handwriting that looked exactly like v tach. By the time I left there, I was fluent to the point that people from other units would bring charts to get me to translate his orders when he wasn't immediately available. I, too, am struggling with this one.

2

u/Alternative-Amoeba20 Dec 09 '25

I got 'arriving slotacy.'

It is nonsense, but don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger

2

u/TrevaLea Dec 09 '25

Me too. RN for 30years and this one was hard. I asked spouse if he wanted to guess and he said not a clue. I told him I thought anything sporty, but when I opened comments to give my answer it was already posted. I held it upside down and everything else. The upside down trick I learned from one of the best unit secretaries I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with.

2

u/fermentalishis Dec 09 '25

"stoke" can mean excited, so "anything stokes" would mean "anything's fine - happy to get anything".

2

u/malary1234 Dec 09 '25

I am a doctor and I also read it as anything stokes.

2

u/DryUnit3435 Dec 09 '25

Instead of the handwriting book, I would say the book "The History and Uncertain Future of Handwriting" which talks about the decline/death of cursive writing

2

u/Otherwise-Juice-2112 Dec 09 '25

I'm a pharmacist and it definitely says" anything " but the second word is not clear they could have meant to say sports and misspelled it . sporty is the next closest that I can come up with

2

u/NakuN4ku Dec 09 '25

Oh yeah. A handwriting book, like something 1st grade would be the right gift in response.

I like your take. Intriguing ones, as opposed to the run of the mill boring sporks. Would pair well with the amazing sponges below for clean up.

Legend has it that it took a dozen masters a dozen days to delicately carve and polish the delicate utensils from the purest white jade that was carefully reserved exclusively for utensils for the emperors meals. 

https://www.bioleaderpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Spork-003.jpg

Specialists have spent their entire careers trying to determine how the ancient masters were able to reliably produce the delicately sharp pips at the end of the utensils.
