Whoever sent us the "monster cereal trilogy" box is my new favorite relative. My top suspects are Julie and Greg, with Frank as a dark horse candidate. (If I had instead received the 70's-vintage freebie 45 shown to the right, I would have known that Shawn, master of musical ephemera, was responsible.)
My plans for this gift:
1) Wait for Greta to be out of the apartment on a Saturday morning (which could occur sometime before the end of the decade).
2) Get out large serving bowl.
3) Fill with Count Chocula.
4) Dump a quart of soy milk (the unsweetened kind, of course) on top.
5) Queue up my Complete Invader Zim collection.
6) Intersperse Zim episodes with Schoolhouse Rock episodes from YouTube.
This particular episode is quite ironical-like on this day, when the Senate has more or less proclaimed George W. Bush our King (would that make him George II, after his father, or George IV, the next in line after the last tyrant to oppress us?).
7) Reflect that it's never too late to have a happy childhood.

My dear boy: that wonderful person who sent the triple-threat box of sugar overdose was moi, your very own and only motha. I sent you a Halloween card explaining all this: don't you read your mail? I also sent one of these sugar-bombs to Julie and her crew: but they will have to share it around, whilst you need only hand a second spoon to Greeba before she kills you for eating it all yourself.
I couldn't resist doing this, after reading the impassioned and pitiful verbiage you and Ju were exchanging about the dearth of evidence of The Count. Now you guys know: HE LIVES!
The card came second!
Dudes,
Too busy eating your sugary cereal to post any new blogs? Can't type with that spoon in one hand?
Just have to say...we got a box, too, and I made it very clear to the children that they better not finish off the Count Chocula before I got some!
