You say that now, when you're awake. But, one morning when you roll out of bed, slip your piggies into your bunny slippers, walk toward the kitchen rubbing the sleepies from your eyes and reach for your beloved Honey Crunch Cornflakes finding them gone, it will become GLARINGLY important!! You will run desperately for your computer, connect to the Internet, google Kelloggs, find their phone number, grab the phone, dial up customer service and BEG for a bowl of the HC Cornflakes your body is craving. You may even begin to weep while explaining to the poor person who has never even heard of HC Cornflakes, because they have only recently completed the customer relations seminar and you are only their second call ever and their mother did all the grocery shopping and cereal buying, how you can't live another day without your favorite breakfast. It won't be pretty and Kelloggs will put you on their blocked call list. Oh. . .uh. . . heh, heh. . .this is all starting to sound kind of familiar.

I think I'd better go now.

Yes, I'm sure, I have a fairly serious breakfast cereal addiction, I generally have 2-3 bowls of cereal a day. They are called Corn Flakes with a Hint of Honey.

And you are absolutely certain they are the same recipe?

I mean, I wouldn't want to get a craving one morning, overnight a case from the UK and find out they are not the same...

Well, no, not having tasted the US version, I can't possibly be absolutely certain. And it would be very, very upsetting to sit down to your favourite cereal and discover it tasted wrong!

Actually, I do find that US foods are often sweeter (high fructose corn syrup is not as commonly used over here, thank goodness).

Honey Nut Crunch?

Nah. What you want is Lizi's Granola, served with Greek Yogurt and honey....

No, Honey Nut Crunch is definitely different -- it has nuts.

Lizi's Granola -- now I'm hungry and I don't have any yogurt or granola, or honey for that matter, and Tesco is closed for the evening.

xx, the rating of the era, pg-14 seemed a bit tame, an r is more like it, xx allows us to charge for content

what do you mean this isn't a porn movie, zelda still has her cloths on? what about the jet pack, and the animals, , look, red wrote the screen play and there's this poll with zelda on it, she's my favorite, then there were all those animals, so i just assumed it was a just that type of film,

Uncle Duke, you oversold it. It's just a Dos XX beer commercial. What else would Red write but a beer commercial?

Ok, that is one I've never heard of... Alien cereal, they indoctrinate the children of the world prior to invasion... Clever little buggers...

Considering some of ZP's avatars, I think XXX might be appropriate. (Do they use this rating outside the USA?)

So, I take it that no else was concerned that Vivaldi got abducted and or posessed by The Snacker of Nations?

I'd help, but here's me, in Mexico on vacation...

btw, I did work the Thousande Elephants into the last frame of the saga, for those keeping count.
