Does anybody here have trouble eating without spilling food on themselves?
No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to stop doing this - so frustrating!
Any hints on how not to do it?

The Squid has a beard used for catching loose foodstuffs and liquid particles. This prevents these various items from reaching our chest or stomach. We then simply extract the item from our beardy tendrils. This is the best advice we can give. Grow one. :D

So is the squid a regular squid in a host body, or an alien squid in a host body? Does the host body approve of your actions?

PS: I like calamari.

The best way to not spill food is to eat over a table...as in physically move your head over the plate when eating so that if something falls...it falls back on to your plate or the table.

^ Squid? Who said there was a Squid. We are a perfectly ordinary dry-land humanoid. And certainly not a Squid :wink:

Even if we WERE a Squid.. and we aren't (Just to make that perfectly clear) We don't think this worthless host deserves a say in anything... Hypothetically of course.

Hrrm. Do you like Turnips?

Haha Take that Squid!

I've actually tried the leaning over thing. I am so uncoordinated that I am like a master ballerina of uncoordination. I mean I can things do that people couldn't do if they tried with all their might, with total ease! Does that make sense? Last week I accidentally got into a revolving door with a woman, she thought I was trying to pickpocket her!


Master ballerina - what do you call someone who is really good at it, like Barishnikov? He might be insulted at the ballerina part. :D

The Squid happens to know you edited those posts. We have never said anything related to a squid. We find this thread to be rampant with false assumptions and fact editing. o.O

Well, were you trying to pickpocket her? I certainly hope not, it's kind of a conspicuous place to do it anyways.

You could always try the thing where you tie a napkin around your neck or tuck it in your shirt, so that if food gets on you it isn't a problem. You will get some strange looks for doing this, but probably no stranger than if you have spilt food all over yourself.

my ever-present bathrobe is a fairly efficient catcher of crumbs and drips and such. used to have a beard when much younger but it wasn't efficient at filtering falling foodstuffs from the air between my mouth and the ground.

I'm sure that if I had the genes to grow a zz-top-style beard that I'd have better luck.

If you had that Santa costume, maybe it would work.
