You know the slogan I'm talking about.
Snap, crackle, pop.
Makes you want some Rice Krispies doesn't it?
But snap, crackle, pop doesn't mean kids cereal to me anymore. Instead, it's the sound my body makes every time I get out of my chair, stretch, run to first base in softball — heck, some part of my body will crack while I'm sitting on the couch watching the Broncos snap, crackle and pop in the fourth quarter of yet another game.
Too many separated shoulders. Too much torn cartilidge. Too many sprained ankles. But along with all those boo-boos and owies came a ton of fun.
Football, softball, jungle gyms, basetball.
Thinking of all that fun — and of snap, crackle, pop — does make me harken back to my childhood (and last Saturday) and my favorite kid cereals.
Here's my Top 10 list (off the top of my head):
Cap'n Crunch
Fruity Pepples
Quisp
Golden Grahams
Corn Pops
Coco Puffs
Lucky Charms
Boo Berry
Honey Comb
and of course Rice Krispies | |

What about Cinnamon Toast Crunch? Three bowls of that in the morning and you couldn't taste anything the rest of the day! Hurt so good. | Cocoa Puffs should be at the top!

It is hard to find a cereal that is better soggy than dry. You even have chocolate milk when you're finished! | C'mon

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
