Todd, too bad you didn't watch Tom Terrific as a kid. Tom had easy to follow plans for constructing robots from Quaker Oats containers. I built one that was able to make my bed and pick up my comic books. I wish I had kept it. It was a real handy robot and I don't remember how I built it.

All because you were too much of a wimp to use the Andy Warhol line.

A robot! Very creative. All I ever made was rocket ships, castles, drums, and Nazi flak towers.

Paul - I think Tom Terrific (and his wonder dog Manfred) was pre-VI

It's a reaction to being denied turkey skin. I mean, isn't it obvious?

Yeah but could one eat Snappy and lower one's cholesterol count? Heck no! All one would do would be to choke on f'ing Snappy! Whotta wench.

The best oatmeal I ever ate was recently in Ireland. Real Irish oats with cream and brown sugar. The oatmeal was chewy and nutty and warm. Yummy! Kept you all day.
I have searched high and low for the same oats here, but haven't really found them. Nearly everything available in the US is rolled oats, which produces a somewhat slimy tasting oatmeal, or instant, which produces a REALLY slimy oatmeal.

Did I dream that you were "chastised" over emails by a female type persona? If so, I humbly apologize. If something happens twice in 10 or 12 years, I see a pattern.

Patrick, those are the same oats that Fiddlerina and I eat. Here in the States they're called steel cut oats though some makers still refer to them as Irish oats. You can find them wherever whole grain products are sold: health food stores, food co-ops, etc. - Dub

Wow... thanks so much... now I wanna go make oatmeal. I hate you guys. Oh well. Last time I made some quaker it was absolutely perfect. The problem with this is that I was making an amount that wasn't on the instructions, so I kinda eyeballed it and it worked out great. My girlfriend and I both had a wonderful breakfast..... that will probably never be repeated! Oh well, since you guys have put this desire in me, I will now go break out the insta-oats and attempt to make some that's as good as the last time making it!

I was just hoping that you didn't think I was chauvinistic for some reason. But you're right, the pattern is there. I work almost exclusively with women, and live with women. I can go as long as 48 hours without saying a word to a man. I just counted out who I spoke with today, and used my fingers and stuff. If my math is correct, I had conversations with 21 women, including my family, and with one man.

In fact, I got so much enjoyment from your Quaker Oats robot story, you can run through the list twice. Three times, even. That was funniest thing I have read, maybe ever. Charlene, Gus, and Anna all fell over laughing. Charlene brought it to work. I will be sending it off to Reader's Digest for another quick $50.
Thanks, Fellow Man.
