Thanks for an example of a joke that is funny without being offensive.

Hmmm...it's got to be offensive to SOMEBODY... like the various panic-mongers and conspiracy theorists who are selflessly looking out for our best interests by keeping us on our toes in a state of paranoia? Ever consider their feelings, Kat? It's people like you who keep the world from being a safer place...

:P

Though I consider bread perfectly safe, I am totally against Captain Crunch cereal, which cuts the roof of your mouth.

What? Not even the peanut butter variety, to mix with Cocoa-Puffs?

Joe: Haha! I like to eat Captain Crunch once in a while. I learned to be very careful while eating it. "Captain Crunch", where did that come from? I thought we were talking about banning bread and throwing bread dealers into jail for life by a 3 strikes law.

I love bread! Nooooo!

I don't eat Grape Nuts.... it reminds me too much of kitty litter.

Never, ever, ever accept Grape Nuts from a kitty kat. ;-)

Kat: ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!

Hahaha! I never could quite put my finger on why I found that cereal so repulsive. Thanks for the mental image, kat.

What? I had three bowls of Grape Nuts just this morning. The texture, the salty goodness, the way it combines with milk to create a completely new undiscovered elemental state. Now if they sold it in larger boxes and somehow fixed its tendency to cause me to fart, Grape Nuts would become the world's perfect food.

Remember the "Quarry" cereal bit from SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE?

"Like swimming holes and brimming bowls of cereal made from stone."

That's what I think of Grape Nuts.

Chipped a tooth back in 82.

After developing a case of TMJ from Grape Nuts, which used to be a favorite, I have discovered the joy of seven-grain puffed Kashi. Easier on the jaw, looks like food, and does not require extensive flossing.

However, I'll take a freshly toasted piece of buttered bread over cereal any day. Bread is only dangerous if you put it right up to your nose when it comes out of the oven. I have the singed nose hairs to prove it.

That was always my problem when baking bread at home - always had to do three loaves, because the first would be half gone, at least, before it got cold.......

The cooling of bread is a dastardly conspiracy put forth by the Gods of Baking to torture mere humans in their quest for satiety.

(I clearly need to stop procrastinating and get back to work.)

Do I have kats? I don't have cats, what's a kat? The women I date typically have cats, and for some strange reason they tend to act like their cats, so maybe that's what a kat is.

I'll never really understand toast makers over cereal eaters. Maybe toast tastes dramatically different to you that it is worth the extra effort to prepare, I just find it inefficient when cereal does the trick. Same thing with fast food over a pricey restaurant. If all you're after is food, why not go for a fraction of the time at a fraction of the cost?

I just prefer the feeling of being full to excessive effort in savoring flavor. Fellow cerealites can back me up. :)

Somebody tear up some fresh Basil quick!

Jennifer has passed out we need to bring her round!!!

If the basil doesn't work you can always offer her a vegemite sandwich and stand back...
