I was lucky. I helped a priest move to New York when I was 10 with a buddy. Thankfully,  he wasn't that kind of priest.

I have a baseball he signed for me.

I was in 8th grade, a crosswalk guard and I took it very seriously. So seriously,  I had Priests and nuns praise me.

Seems empty now. Lol

Priests and Nuns praise everybody. that's literally their job.

Did you go to Catholic school?

My wife's cousin's best friend is "Turtle."  I assume it's a nickname.  My daughter has had at least three customer service jobs.  At all of them, she has had something other than her actual name on her nametag (I think they were all actual names, though).  At one point, my son had "Beans" on his nametag.

Tim obviously never went to Catholic school.   I had a nun who was a cunt. Tim, you blow. I fucking hated her. The stories I could tell you.

Anyone else here eat Grape Nuts?  And if you do, do you ever eat them hot?  When I was a kid, my mom would heat milk in a small pot on the stove, put a pinch of salt and a bunch of pepper on a bowl of Grape Nuts, and then pour the hot milk over the Grape Nuts.  I still eat it to this day when it's cold outside.  When I first showed this to my wife, she thought I was insane.

That is an interesting combination of flavors, but I've never had that cereal before, does it lens itself to having salt and pepper on it?

I have never eaten Grape Nuts in my life.

My dad ate Grape Nuts a lot when I was a kid, so I had it sometimes. I am sure I would have rather had Frosted Flakes, but I liked them well enough to eat them. Not something I would ever think to purchase, but I was never a big cereal guy. I have, however, recently discovered flakes with yogurt clusters. Which is a bit odd as I generally hate yogurt.

Grape nuts sounds like a very unfortunate injury.

Corn nuts on the other hand. Love that shit.

I used to do this very thing sans the pepper. The thing I always liked about grape nuts, was you didn't need much. Oh and that nutty flavor!

That seems a reasonable reaction. 
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I think so.  I think it's fucking delicious.  I had some last night.

Eating Grape Nuts the "normal" way requires dumping a bunch of sugar on top.  I do that occasionally too.


Corn nuts on the other hand. Love that shit.

I used to LOVE Corn Nuts.  However, I haven't eaten them in years since I chipped a tooth on a particularly crunchy bite.

Colon blow Grape Nuts always hurt my teeth so not for me.  I never thought about trying it hot.  I do like oatmeal, especially overnight oats.

My random thought - why is US national media giving attention to people who missed their cruise ship departure and are now trying to blame the cruise ship for adhering to their policy and thereby keeping the other passengers on time?

Are we now going to see media giving attention to people missing their flight departures?

I haven't seen anything about it.

But fuck those people.
