i don’t eat eggs. i don’t eat meat. i don’t eat metal. i don’t eat children. i don’t eat vinyl.

but i’m lazy: i eat things with eggs in them. like cake. and chocolate.

actually i have no idea if chocolate has eggs in it. i bet it does. it has milk. i don’t drink milk. i think it smells funny. but i eat things with milk in it. like chocolate. and milkshakes. and chocolate milk two or three times a year.

but i don’t eat cereal. because one has to soak it in milk to eat it. i do miss eating a bowl of crunch berries now and then…

check out this video. i have to say – i have to say – i have to say it is one of the worst videos ever made. you don’t know what b6 is? and trust me, crunch berries blow kix out of the water.

but speaking of numbers (291 million), one year – i can’t recall which – i counted the number of christmas commercials i viewed. it was sometime in the early nineties. i remember seeing the first one in mid-november and thinking how early that seemed to be considering christmas. (though when i played little league, a couple of kids’ parents did their christmas shopping in july and august. really weird.) i decided then to count the number of ads until christmas day.

i counted 555 christmas commercials viewed that year. i probably watched more television then.

i have to leave for work now.

291 million egg-laying hens plus 555 christmas commercials equals my head explodes.
