Madge, you're soaking in it

Been exhausted so far this year and still recuperating a bit. In the meantime here's some nonsense. Ultra Palmolive dish detergent claims it's "Toughest On Grease" but maybe they need to meet Vinnie DeLuca who, when watching the film, just won't stop yapping about how awful Travolta & Olivia Newton-John are.

Cereal review: Breadshop's "Gourmet Raspberry 'n Cream Granola"
You know, it's granola. Tough to criticize that. But I'll try! There's not enough raspberries in it and yet it's a little more tart than I'd prefer. At least it's very natural with only 9 total ingredients, one of which isn't sugar. But I can add that badboy in myself. I think I can find more granola elsewhere for the price I paid.

I'm sure it's not called Gourmet for nothing. It just has to be good..

I thought that Palmolive ad was strictly an Australian one - do/did you get the same Aussie ladies in the ad, or is there a local version on North American screens?

Ha ha, "Toughest On Grease" good one! Grease was pretty awful.

I wasn't a fan of Grease either. My wife loves it, leading me to surmise that if you have a penis you're likely to have difficulty enjoying it. I am, of course, loathe to chop mine off to test the theiry so it will remain, barring some horrific accident, an untested theory.

Grease two was worse though. It had Michelle Pheiffer in i think.

Honey Bunches of Oats is the best cereal ever.

Do you just randomly select any cereal from the aisle and try it out at home?

hb2- I wonder if there's some FDA code regulating the use of the word 'gourmet' in food names.

violet- I don't think it's the same lady. Ours was a short redhead I think. I believe it's the woman who played the deaf/mute cook in "Murder by Death".

pbs- I don't even remember if I've seen it actually.

rpete- Yeah, leave the testing of that theory to convicts or something!

boudica- Grease 2?!!

bo- Yeah, I like sampling but I've got my favorites. Cracklin' Oat Bran kicks ass but is so pricy and a bowl of it probably has as much fat as a Big Mac or something! I tried Honey Bunches of Oats as a replacement when I couldn't find "Honey Graham Oh's" on the shelves for several years. Now that they're back I have reverted.

Fuck, I sound like an insurance salesman.

I'm from the Cap'n Crunch camp myself.

There's one guy in Grease that always creases me... He's wearing a lime green shirt during that big amusement park dance number and does this obnoxious "Charlie Chaplin" dance move.

That and the idea of anybody bumpin' uglies with Rizzo.

I'm currently doing my part to rid the world of Frosted Flakes...you know...Tony the Tiger frosted corn flakes. For some reason I crave them at any given moment. Hanging my head in shame.

Dear King Punster,

I have had this cereal, and I agree. Seemed like it should have been better. I've been eating Empower by Health Valley, which claims it's "the most complete breakfast cereal. It's got blueberries. I like it.

Best,
