Aren't fruity pebbles just cheerios flavored with synthetic juice???

Fruit loops kind of are. Every once in a while I buy a box of crappy cereal … just because … I always regret it, too, but it just looks so tempting in the store … Fruit Loops, Capt Crunch, Lucky Charms … every once in a  while.

[Squirrel]

 

Yes

Boy, it's just scary how much like Chief you are becoming.

[JB_Iowa]

 

Synthetic Juice?

 

 

You know, like they make synthetic pop at Thanksgiving that tastes like Turkey.

[mnsportsgeek]

Now that's an efficient inning.

Now that is something I've never heard of … that sounds like one definite ick!

I'm like that guy in that Brad Pitt movie, help.

 

( I hate Brad Pitt)

Not me.  I'm pretty much addicted to Honey Bunches of Oats w/ Almonds.

Cap'n Crunch... I haven't had that in ages... I really want that now. 

[twinsnorth49]

Now that's an efficient inning.

Baseball has such riveting catch phrases.

Or maybe it is pop that tastes like synthetic turkey.

[Riverbrian]

What?

 

Jones Soda is Synthetic?

 

It's not Soda squeezed right out of the Turkey?

[twinsnorth49]

Don't do it, it's been so long you probably forgot how little time it takes for it to turn into the same consistency as goose ****.

Which one?

 

Rather a prolific actor. (If i had to guess, do you mean Fight Club?)

[Riverbrian]

That's when it's the best.

 

Before it sogs out... Those bits are sharp... They can rip up the roof of your mouth. 

 

I had to go the hospital with a Cap'n Crunch injury when I was younger. 

[twinsnorth49]

Which one?

No, the one where he turns 80 in like a week or something.

[jimmer]

 

He's got to read that ball better.  That was bad.

I disagree.  It was almost caught.  As a runner, in that situation, it's better just to take the change on getting thrown out at 2B than to have it caught and then get doubled off at 1B (two outs instead of one).  

 

But whatever.

[mnsportsgeek]

Facing the Twins is what left handed pitchers do when they want to get shelled.

[Squirrel]

 

Not me.  I'm pretty much addicted to Honey Bunches of Oats w/ Almonds.

I prefer Oatmeal Crisp with almonds, made by General Mills. But I don't eat a lot of cereal these days.

I LOVE Lucky charms.  Those and Frosted Flakes.  The 10 or so times I eat cereal in a year, those will be the ones I eat.

We let Halsey criticize Plouffe... It's become a part of us. 

 

Halsey once criticized Plouffe on a Grand Slam... And we were all like... Yeah... Go Get Em Halsey. 

[Riverbrian]

 

Not me.  I'm pretty much addicted to Honey Bunches of Oats w/ Almonds.

 

Please tell me... that is made out of Oats and Almonds. 

 

I don't trust anything any more... I need to be reassured. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Ah, perhaps Benjamin Button? Had an opportunity to watch it and pay attention, but i gave it a miss after the first reel, i think.

 

I should give it a second chance sometime...

oh, yeah, I forgot protocol on that.  My bad.  Sorry Halsey.

'Tis true. In game threads, it's kind of Halsey's personna. That said, I think Plouffe has earned the right to not be referred to as 'Poof.'

I'd be into Lucky Charms... But there is one bad flavor in there and it ruins the experience.

What, the marshmallows?

[mnsportsgeek]

Is there a way to know what days Bert is gonna be working the games?

[Riverbrian]

 

What, the marshmallows?

 

No the Marshmellows are great... It's that other stuff... I'm always picking it out of the bowl and the box and then I'm left with very little to work with.

i'll have to try that.  I don't eat a lot of cereal either but when I do, it's HBO.

 

Unless I'm trying to be good and its cold outside.  Then I'll eat Oatmeal.

I think he's there for most home games, yes? And then doesn't travel to certain places like Detroit?
