LOL! Josh and Cheese! What extremes of the spectrum!

Love #3 of #4.

The random things were most fascinating- what are your tatoos of?

I've heard of buttered cheerios before...I just forgot...

Tim said...

when I was little we used to eat butter and cheerios, but not melted butter. We'd dip a stick of butter into a box of ceerios and much away. I'd puke if I did that now.

Jen—it all about diversity.

Tim—that would make me puke too. But the buttered cheerios are fabulous. I love me some cheerios.

Jen said...

EEEEWWW! TIIIIM!

I know what it is, buttered cheerios reminds me of when you're making rice krispy treats (or the cheerio version) and you put the melted butter in with the cereal and add the marshmallow...

My mom did that the other day while she was talking to me on the phone- then she tried to mix it with her hands and got both hands all sticky and was pretty much SOL at that point...

My Dad would make us buttered cheerios when I was a little kid. So, I've been eating them for like 20-some years.
