I Like Beer
Tonight I'm breaking with tradition. I'm having a Honey Brown instead of a Pinot or Shiraz.
When did the crunchberries become multi-colored?
Whatever happened to Sugar Pops?
How is it H.R Puffenstuff can't give a little cuz he can't get enough?
Was Witchiepoo working for Mary Kaye cosmetics?
Is 'sorry' really the hardest word, or is it more of something like 'psychoimmunology'?
Why can't we be friends?
What idiot thinks that love is never having to say you're sorry?
Why is pot illegal and booze isn't?
How can it be possible that The Monkee's 'I'm Not You're Stepping Stone' isn't considered a classic, but 'Louie, Louie' is?
Why don't New Englanders bbq?
Why do people seem to confuse 'legal' and 'ethical'?
Why is arrogant and obviously gay Fred considered more attractive than funny, friendly Shaggy?
It doesn't seem fair that the oLeary's property suffered very little damage in the Great Fire, does it?
Why do fools fall in love?
Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?
Why ask why?

Whew, I like beer too and after a few more, the 'why's' will seem insignificant...
After all drinking beer must make you smart because it made Bud wiser.
Where's that drummer with the punchline rim shot when you really need him?
while you're at it...
I want to know ...
Who is the someone that left a perfectly good cake out in the rain?
...yeah, cuz I don't think I'll ever have that recipe again. Why didn't I just write it down?
Any chance it was sponge cake?
Good one.
Wouldn't have mattered since it was raining men.
In that case, here's to hoping that the sun'll come tomorrow!
but by then, the beefcake might be gone.
Sugar Pops are now called "Corn Pops". It seems the cereal companies decided that having "sugar" in your name is bad (You don't see "Super Sugar Crisp" any more, either), although having it in the cereal is still fine.
I don't want to be part of a world in which "Not Your Stepping Stone" isn't considered a classic.
New Engalanders don't BBQ? GET OUT OF THERE...NOW!!!!
What, like I'm not tryin'? (Yes, yes, I know I'm very trying...)
Huh. Corn Pops. Who knew? I've got a box of those on top of my fridge, right next to Cap'n Crunch and the choc chip cookies.
Ah!
If only we really got sugar in our food. All I see listed anymore is corn sweetener or corn syrup.
Nothing like the taste and energy boost of good old cane sugar.
That might be another reason Sugar pops is now Corn pops. They're not made with sugar!
Ah, here's something I didn't know. There's a difference between Corn Pops and Kellogg's Pops. Kellogg's has no 'corn' anywhere on the box. But Kellogg's Pops DOES have 14g per serving of sugar. Milled corn is also it's number one on the list of ingredients (hmmm...), then sugar, then corn syrup, molasses, salt, partially hudrogenated vegatable oil, sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid (which they tell us is vitamin C but how do we really know?), niacinamide, (I barely passed my table in science, this is killing me), reduced iron (iron lite?), zinc oxide (isn't that what lifeguards wear on their noses?), wheat starch (which, of course, is what makes the sheaves stand straight), pyridoxine hydrochloride (why can't they just say vitamin B6?), riboflavin (aka B12) and vitamin D (what, it doesn't have a name like sunshineoleoix?)
I love reading those ingredients on the label and wondering what the heck that stuff really is. It makes absolutely no sense, other than the first thing listed is the "mostest." But it is fun to see whay they say, arrrggghhh!
Well begorrah!
How did this here blog stray from its opening ruminations on beer to somthin as inspirin as the ingredients listing of sugary cereals?
Sure n' Begorrah! I can have my cereal and drink it too!
Nothing like a nice guiness to soften up the old lucky charms and give them some extra nutrional value!
By blessed St. Patrick it's the best of both worlds.
