Cereal Killer

I could eat cereal for nearly every meal. .

And i often do.
Apparently, other people think the same way i do.
It's Saturday morning all the time- 'Cereality' founders think outside the box and bring people together
I would definitely patronize a fine establishment such as that. Though, they better have plenty of Quisp cereal for me. We can't forget the delicious taste of Quisp!

There is lots of cool cereal-related stuff online.
The Empty Bowl is "The Definitive Source For All Your Cereal News," or so they say. Actually, it is pretty informative.
Topher's Breakfast Cereal Character Guide has a good rundown of all the weird cereal characters through the years, like Tusk the Elephant, a scholarly chocolate-colored elephant who wore glasses and sang the praises of Kellogg's Cocoa Krispies.
Topher is apparently also responsible for The Boxtop, a good cereal netletter. I mean, hell, i forgot all about Cookie Jarvis, (right), the magical Cookie Crisp cereal wizard.
How To Pick A Breakfast Cereal is an informative page about which cereals are good and bad for you.
Of course, so many that i like are on the shitlist (i'm a bit surprised that my beloved Rice and Corn Chex cereal are on the BAD list - thankfully, Wheat Chex is still on the good one) but what can you do. Other than cry.
And here's a short History of Breakfast Cereals, though, the The Early Days of Breakfast Cereal is also quite good.

Laugh and cry for kicks
A whole bunch of recordings of people laughing and crying.
it is true, when you listen to enough people laughing, it can be quite difficult to restrain at least a smile/chuckle/guffaw/snicker.
laughing is contagious, and a contagion too. maybe.

Google's Boycott Misses the Mark
more than a bit ironic considering Cnet obtained the information in question about Google's CEO by Googling him.

CBGB's survives
For some reason, i was never worried it was going away.
However, the NY Times' Jon Pareles wrote a rather convincing article saying that maybe CBGB's should close.

'Big Fish' Actor Matthew McGrory Dies
Kind of a sad story about Matthew McGrory, who was just 32 years old and died of natural causes. Obviously, being 7 feet 6 inches tall isn't exactly natural. Kind of a sad story, really. He was most recently in Rob Zombie's new movie, The Devil's Rejects. And here is McGrory's website.


And speaking of death, i only recently learned about the death of Thurl Ravenscroft (great name, huh?), best known for being the voice of Tony The Tiger for Kellogg's Frosted Flakes (i have a box at home, Grrrreeeeaat!) and, of course, the man who sang "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" in Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas.
Godspeed Thurl, Godspeed!

Don't say i didn't warn you.
