Zathras' Great Machine

What? You never knew that?

Get the original granola bars. They rock.

Don't get 'dose or those horrendous "cereal bars" they came out with. That white gooey stuff in-between that mess ain't milk, baby . . .

Maybe you should go to to one of those hippie dippie shops with all those big containers of loose granola? Pick up a few hippie dippie granola chix who hang out there. Of course, who cares if the hippie dippie granola chix are 60 and wash their bodies in canolia oil?

Hint: if it has "Natural" in the brand name, chances are that unless it's cat food, it's not something you want to bring home with you. *snicker* Decent brands are NutriGrain and Kellogg's Special K, btw... I used to eat the former every day en route to campus, and now I use the latter as snacks.

"Pick up a few hippie dippie granola chix who hang out there."

Generic hippie chix? He'd as soon settle for drinking Taster's Choice instant coffee! ;^)

"Of course, who cares if the hippie dippie granola chix are 60 and wash their bodies in canolia oil?"

Ewwww. Besides, that'd be selfish of him, he alerady has one hippie-dippy chick (albeit a relatively young, clean one) on timeshare, remember? If he acquires another, he's obliged by the rules of friendship to give her to you. ;)

Taster's Choice is even more revolting than this box of alleged "food bars" that I bought.

I was pretty sure that they'd be gross, but I decided to try them anyway just to be sure. I wasn't wrong. *chuckle*

I've tried a variety of different snack bars... some are good, others aren't. NutriGrain would be pretty good except that they're too dry. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch bars (yes, with the alleged milk center) are pretty good. Kudos aren't half bad, and the Quaker bars are OK, too. Overall, though, I have to agree with Shaw: good ol' Nature Valley granola bars are the best I've had so far.

"Taster's Choice is even more revolting than this box of alleged "food bars" that I bought."

Now, y'know that's badder than bad. At least y'didnt say that it was worse than Sanka (ewww!)

They've been makin the ol' stuff for over twenty yrs now. It's really good stuff. They used to sell 'em in natural foods stores and everything...used to have that and old Danon yogurt ice cream bars.

"If he acquires another, he's obliged by the rules of friendship to give her to you. ;)"

:) I'll remember that rule! hopefully it won't be one that's yucky as that "A . . . , er, I mean, as someone who bathes in Canola oil.

Yo - dude, you done yer piece for am feed yet?

I gotta stay up 2nite/2morrow and update it.

just throw over what y'have

"If he acquires another, he's obliged by the rules of friendship to give her to you."

Damn! Where can I sign up for a friend to find hippe chicx for me to sprinkle granola on?

You have to go to college first with that person(s)...and that college has to be in VT.

Damn. I missed my chance. I was too busy living in a commune outside Chelsea when I was in VT. hmm.. can it *only* be college in Vermont? Communes in Vermont dont count?

What are you talking about, Sparrow? If the college that Shaw and I went to is any indication, the colleges *are* communes. *snicker*

Which reminds me... the next time Moggy comes to town, she and I should go up to Vermont for a couple of days so I can show her all my old stomping grounds. I haven't been back to Vermont in almost three years, and I haven't been to campus in even longer than that. Of course, in rural Vermont, not much of anything changes, so I'm sure I'll have no trouble getting around.

"Of course, in rural Vermont, not much of anything changes, so I'm sure I'll have no trouble getting around."

Nope. Not so long as you remember all twelve ways to indicate the affirmative in Vermont-ese :-)

So....your college had goats and nutritional yeast flakes and naked infants pissing on the floor and sand in the water?

"So....your college had goats and nutritional yeast flakes and naked infants pissing on the floor and sand in the water?"

Sheep, not goats. The other stuff... well, that's an exaggeration, but not a big one.

There was a lot of naked EVERYTHING on the floor.

At times it felt like one of those late-nite softcore Cinemax films... Lots of "oohs" and "ohs" and even "mmms" if you know what I mean.

I shoulda recorded da sounds - heard it everywhere all the time. I coulda made a fortune off of sound effect albums . . .

. . . and no one touches my comments with a 20 ft. pole. :-()
