You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I like a big spoonful of peanut butter in my oatmeal. It's like peanut-butter oatmeal cookie dough. Actually, with an egg and maybe some baking powder, it might be peanut-butter oatmeal cookie dough. Anyway, noms + protein.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am hoping to make steel cut once or twice a week and then work through the plain microwave packets that I have the rest of the time. Once the packets are gone, I'll get a big box of the regualr oats on the lazy days when I can't manahge steel cut. I need to remember the overnight soak method.

I do steel cut on weekends and make a whole cup (4 servings) and then put them in individual tupperwares and nuke during the week. It's not as good nuked as fresh, but beats the hell out of instant or packets imo.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I nuke McCann sugar free flavored packets with milk. They are surprisingly good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was just stupid.

It sounded like everyone else was boozing too, though, right? So not so bad. I mean, maybe not the best idea for you, but not so bad in the larger scheme.

Punishingly Intricate

I like the McCann's Quick & Easy Steel-Cut Irish Oatmeal or even the non-steel cut quick cooking Irish Oatmeal. I don't want any flavors I haven't added myself in my hot cereal.

Some more detail on Opus ending...

According to the press release, Berkeley has vowed that this end is for good. “With the crisis in Wall Street and Washington, I’m suspending my comic strip to assist the nation. The best way I can help is to leave politics permanently and write funny stories for America’s kids. I call on John McCain to join me.”

And then in an email he told a reporter

30 years of cartooning to end. I’m destroying the village to save it. Opus would inevitably become a ranting mouthpiece in the coming wicked days, and I respect the other parts of him too much to see that happen. The Michael Moore part of me would kill the part of him that was important to his fans.

Apparently there'll be a contest to guess where Opus winds up in the final strip. Hm.

Our wings are not tired.

I nuke McCann sugar free flavored packets with milk.

I totally read this as "I nuke McCain...."

Y'all made me get oatmeal at Starbucks.

Which comes with cranberries, raisins and almonds in little packets.
