The funny thing is that we are the entire team that made the recent
Mambo (the one that won all the awards and so on), so we look at it
more like they forked Mambo, and we just picked a new name. This was
needed so we were empowered to move forward unfettered and unmolested.

I prefer to use the term spork, as it is more like somewhere between a
fork and a spoon. Or maybe we are more like a spatula, but the
holidays make me think we are most like tongs or perhaps a nutmeg
grinder.
