But how will this affect the forced labor industry? Can we still shop at WalMart?

I had to google it to get it.

still not funny

Huh. I just read on Yahoo about the San Andrea's fault was acting up. Coincidence?

Did someone invented a quake machine recently?

 
Mr. Potatoass 2009-07-10 12:09:52 AM  
I remember eating that shiat when I was a kid in the 1960's.
If memory serves correctly, Quake was like eating gravel.

Oh-ho-ho!! Is funny, because is about obscure thing nobody remembers! And if they do remember, they do not care! Oh-ho-ho!!!

Oh, I get the joke now.It's like being in a car with an Asian driver.

Isn't Quisp basically Captain Crunch with a more absorbent surface area?

I liked Quisp, my brother at Quake. Now he eats Wheaties.

Who is San Andrea, and why is her fault acting up?

So it was localized to just the one village then?

And 2x the price per ounce. The local Woodman's sells it. Stuff costs like $3 for a measly little 9 oz box. I can get the extra large box of Captain Crunch there for the same price.

It does have a cooler looking box though.

As an old fart i got the reference. I was a Quake man myself but Quisp had the far cooler character, a propeller headed alien. Quake was a miner of some sort and his cereal was supposed to be some of the stuff he mined.

That's funny, "Quake, the vitamin powered sugary cereal." I notice a while back that "Sugar Smacks" is now "Honey Smacks."

A more honest cereal time.

Hell, a lot of the cereals we grew up with have either gone under, faded quietly away, or changed their name.

I'm standin' outside, gettin' ready to come in here man, 'n this little Jewish guy walks up to me 'n says, "BUCKWHEAT!" 'N there's some brother standin' next to me said, "What that guy call you, man? BUCK-wheat?"

'N I got to thinkin' about it, Buckwheat, no, Little Rascals period, like... who thought the names up for that show? 'Cuz I'm from a predominantly black family, 'n I have... I have yet to run into some brother named Buckwheat. Like go to a family cookout, "Hi, my name's Ed, waht's yours?" "Oh, I'm Buckwheat, man. No, that's my name, Buckwheat. No, I ain't got no last name, just Buck-- Buck-wheat. I'm serious. I'm damn serious!

You don't believe me? Ain't that right, Stymie? Here's my brother Stymie, I want you to come over 'n meet my brother. YO, FARINA! Yeah, Farina. Farina, really. Most people's named after their father?

We was named after my father's favorite breakfast. There's my twin brothers over there, Quisp 'n Quake. There's my little brother, he's retarted, his name is Special K. There's my sister, she a prostitute, her name is Trix. There's my older brother, he a homosexual, his name is Lucky Charms. He over there wit' his freind, Froot Loops..."

Didn't Quisp have a little Asian buddy who wore a coolie hat?

Kif Kroker from Futurama is based on Spock and Quisp.

Don't worry. China could lose 25% of their population, and it wouldn't even affect the work demographic.

Well, I guess I gotta do it myself:

This is not a repeat from 2008.


SuperNintendo_Chalmers: 5.7 magnitude?!?

It would be if there were more things as "earthquake proofing" and "building codes" and less things like "bribery".


Nemo's Brother: Was this near the area of the riots?

No. About a coupla thousand miles off.

Hell no! If you took all of Rosie's surface area and condensed it down to Selma's area, the resulting distillation of ugly is liable to crack the very foundations of heaven.

Remember those Quisp commercials where the alien dude would zip around using the propeller beanie? Well, they SOLD those beanies for a while, and I bought one. I collected my box tops, sent in my $2 in quarters taped to an index card, and waited breathlessly for my power-beanie to arrive.

Some few weeks after the "allow eight weeks for delivery" deadline, the magical event occurred. I was the proud possessor of a crappy felt beanie with a plastic propeller on the top. I gave it a spin. No liftoff. Nada. Not even the trademark burbling whine of the mighty turbines. You can not imagine the let-down this was to a six year old boy who just wanted to fly.

This, the cardboard "submarine," and sea monkeys (all purchased with full faith and confidence in the honesty of people who place ads in the backs of comic books) are the reasons so many children of the 60s and 70s have "trust issues" to this day.

Ah, the Quisp/Quake war of 1967.

I believe Quisp came out the victor in that one.
