Say What?!?

  • General Mills (not that General Mills) is planning on big things in 2012 for Cheerios.  How about some peanut-butter flavored Multi Grain Cheerios and Dulce de Leche Cheerios?  Sound good to you?  I think the PB ones will be good but not sure about the DdL. 
  • It still boggles my mind trying to figure out how the entire population DPRK who attended the fun-eral of shithead leader Kim Jong-Il was weeping and/or crying uncontrollably.  They were ruled under an iron fist of a dictator that no one else will miss.  My guess is they were forced to show the emotions or else.  Pretty ridiculous - and comical.  I haven't seen acting that bad since the last Nicolas Cage movie came out - or in every Nicolas Cage movie ever!
  • Alaska State Troopers is a show you should probably already be watching, if not for your preexisting interest in reality police shows for the video portraying the landscape and culture of the Great White North.  It's pretty damn amazing how some (read: most) of the population lives up there.  Definitely a place to go on my Bucket List.
  • New York, Alaska, and Wisconsin charge the most for a pack of cigarettes in the United States.  NYers pay on average, $10 a pack while our counterparts in Alaska pony up, on average, $9.10 a pack.  In Cheese country, you're $9.00 lighter in the wallet after buying a pack.  Wanna know what $9 can buy you?
  • The Islanders are the worst team in the Eastern Conference.  They've played 34 games and are last in goals scored (75), last in assists (133), and tied for last in shutouts (0). They do lead the league in something though, empty net goals allowed (10)
That's all the time I have today.  Hope your New Year's Eve plans are starting to materialize so that you're not staying home by yourself - again!

Rusk-ing

Just working on taking down this rice rusk. No big deal, it's all focus.
