[Sorry, everyone -- if you're not Melissa, just ignore:]

If you're out there, Miss MelCaramel, and not checking your email for some reason:

The IL* Chicago meet-up is officially moved to 8:00. Still coming? Still need a ride? Get in touch and let me know. I won't be checking email after 5:00 today, but if you email Sterling or Kerry or anyone else, they can provide my number for you.

Broadening the call to New Answers...

― Nitsuh, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I lament the death of the unanswered question.

Are you Melissa, Nick? Are you Melissa?

― Nitsuh, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

nick just can't help sticking his button nose where it doesn't belong. (!)

but, on the other hand, his reply -- and mine also, i hasten to add! - - keep this question near the top of the new answers pile.

yet, when i look at another way, perhaps it's wrong. perhaps it is cruelly raising nitsuh's hopes; each time he sees a new answer, he thinks it might be melissa when it's really only nick (or me, even).

it's really quite a quandary.

Shit! Yes, I'm still coming, and yes I still need a ride...sorry I didn't email you back.

Now we can use this thread to talk about the dearth of quality breakfast cereal mascots.

Where are the Snap Crackle and Pops of the modern day?

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Excellent. I'm sending you particulars right now, Melissa, so check yer damn mail. You made me feel like a schoolmarm.

― Nitsuh, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Snap, crackle and pop of the modern day? But, Ned they never went away!

am i the only one in this bitch who remembers the FRUIT BRUTE?

― jess, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Fruit Brute?

What I want to know is why there's a MONKEY on boxes of Cocoa Krispies? Why a MONKEY? Are they making parallels to monkey feces?

― David Raposa, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Over here we have Coco Pops...so I think that monkey is Coco! Coco = super cool primate pal!

― james, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

fruit brute is the only cancelled monster cereal from the count chocula/ frankenberry/boo berry family, he was a pink werewolf. it was discontinued around 1982 or so i think, but you can see a box of it in pulp fiction.

C'mon, Dave, haven't you heard the theory about the subliminal racism of all chocolate cereals? You've got the monkey on the Cocoa Krispies, and then you're "crazy" for Cocoa Puffs -- you see, they're saying you'd have to be crazy to like the black cereal. And then you've got your white rice, which is just considered rice, but then the brown rice, you see, they call that "wild" rice.

(Before anyone gets all worked up -- yes, that is completely a joke.)

― Nitsuh, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Everyone, I want you to listen up. Stop buying cereal in boxes. The thing to do is get malt o meal in the bags. Not only deos it atse better, its cheaper, and no ugly box. Plus, only one mascot to worry abot!
