Congress may not be able to agree on much these days, but they're on the same page in at least one respect: They've completely ignored our repeated calls to declare this week "Tell A Friend About The Sporkful Week." Fortunately, you don't need a congressional declaration to celebrate.

This week, we're asking you to make an especially concerted effort to spread the word about The Sporkful. We trust you to observe this sacred week in the exact manner of your choosing -- write Facebook posts, tweet, send emails, make phones calls, go door-to-door, chain yourself to a tree in front of your local library, you know, the usual stuff.

Be honest with your friends about why you like what we do. Target specific people who you think would be a good fit for this particular brand of food-related madness. Have fun with it!

Seriously folks, we're very appreciative of all the enthusiasm and interaction we get from our loyal fans around the world. But we won't rest until the Sporkful message has been spread all the world over. So help us out, tell a friend, or tell all your friends (and a few strangers) about The Sporkful!
