He can have mine, too, if he comes and gets it.

I just had my first taste, so far as I know, of Quaker's "Life" cereal.

I ain't Mikey. I don't like it.

(Oh, and in case you missed it: Miyazaki isn't dead. Good.)

You don't like Life Cereal, you don't like Firefly...

You have no soul.

Not true. I loved virtually everything Jim Henson ever did*, I sing along to Hotel California whenever it comes on the radio, I think ST2:Wrath of Khan was not merely the best Trek film but a great film in its own right, I cried the first time I saw Old Yeller, I laugh at every Terrence Hill movie I watch, I believe that a clean desk is the sign of either an unsound mind, an unemployed body, or a furniture salesman, I believe D&D isn't D&D without a need for at least five different kinds of dice...

... it's just, well, Life Cereal tastes like Shredded Wheat with a touch of raw crystallized cane sugar lurking to surprise the unwary tongue.


* I only say virtually because I haven't seen everything he ever did. Thus far the only thing of his I don't like was the Muppets Visit Disneyworld special that was supposed to usher in the Henson-Disney union... right before he died. And that was only because Disney irritated me even then, so I might change my mind.

I want that.

You're not alone. I don't like any cereal that isn't the equivalent of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs. But that's partly because I hate milk and therefore eat my cereal dry, as a snack like popcorn.

You mean to tell me, you've lived damn near forty years, and had never before eaten Life serial???

...

What, next you're gonna tell me you've never even heard of Grape Nuts or Kashi!

[redneckgaijin.livejournal.com]

Kashi, no, never heard of it.

Grape Nuts: if we were meant to eat gravel for breakfast, cows would produce tar instead of milk.

I can't stand the stuff, either, but not because of the taste, exactly - it's because it's one of the two cereals that my parents would cart in the scruffy paper bag crammed behind the front seat of their 1978 van on the interminable road trips we would take when I was young. I had many a miserable breakfast spooning the hideous little squares from soggy paper bowls at the dew-soaked picnic tables in KOA campgrounds. (The last third of the box would invariably go stale, too, no matter how quickly we ate it.)
