Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just realized half of my problem imagining the Cookie Monster death metal is that I kept getting Grover in my head instead.

Just imagining someone trying to sell a used Volvo. It's an incredible price, but the radio only plays ABBA.

And you can't turn it off.

See Grover would be closer to the Ozzy school of singing in my mind. And we all know now that Beaker sings exactly like Rick Astley.

I learned the differences in death metal music from the Bones rerun I saw a few weeks ago.

They could put together a great death metal band.

There was a Bones episode just recently (or I saw it recently anyway) focused on Cookie Monster Death Metal. Well, they didn't call it that. But they should have. (And they too took note of the Scandinavian thing, Gud.)

Maybe Cookie Monster Death Metal is a Scandinavian thing too. It's always disappointing when I'm got a good song going and I'm thinking about a thumbs up, then the Cookie Monster vocals show up and I've got to go with a thumbs down. Sometimes it's tricky, the Cookie Monster doesn't show up until halfway through.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heartbroken cereal litigant loses suit over non-existence of "Crunchberries"

A woman sued the Cap'n Crunch people because her cereal didn't contain any "crunchberries":

On May 21, a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California dismissed a complaint filed by a woman who said she had purchased "Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries" because she believed "crunchberries" were real fruit. The plaintiff, Janine Sugawara, alleged that she had only recently learned to her dismay that said "berries" were in fact simply brightly-colored cereal balls, and that although the product did contain some strawberry fruit concentrate, it was not otherwise redeemed by fruit. She sued, on behalf of herself and all similarly situated consumers who also apparently believed that there are fields somewhere in our land thronged by crunchberry bushes.

I think you'd find crunchberry bushes near the spaghetti trees....

I dunno. I definitely prefer Cookie Monster singing to the ones that sound like someone is squeezing their balls tightly while they sing in room full of helium. There not always even strictly "metal".

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

That's incredible.

I was thiiiis close to putting it up on Facebook, but I remembered that my cousin who was there is a "friend". It may not be a chatty topic for him.

This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about. It doesn't seem really metalish to me. But it is classified as various forms of metal.
