...Because I felt like it, that's why.
I always remembered this commercial. I'm not sure if AndyMan and I ever ate the cereal. One of the lines in the jingle: "This is the big boss, we call him Boss Moss". I musta known I would end up working for two separate bosses named Moss. I'm pretty sure neither of them knew about Freakies cereal.

About Me
- superdave524
- I was born in Montana, raised in Tampa, and reside in a small town in the lowcountry of South Carolina with the Lovely Lady Di, and son Tyler. Walterboro (the 'Boro) has about 5,100 residents. It's a moderately interesting place. I work in the public defender's office representing poor people charged with crimes. Some of them did it. Some of them didn't do it. Some are not very nice, a lot of them are just regular Joes with a huge plate of bad luck. I'm a moderately interesting fellow, who has the good fortune to know or be related to some very interesting people. Is there anyone out there?

Ah, the Freakies ... say, do they still put prizes in cereal boxes? I used to love digging through the box for the prize, they used to be pretty good, too ... what I hated was sending off for stuff, geeze, why in the hell does it take 6-8 weeks to put a damn Cheerios frisbee in an envelope and mail it?
as for your trial, I've sat through several where I totally thought the guy was not guilty ... one's on death row. I'm still convinced he didn't do it.
Yeah, Chase, you can still occasionally get toys and stuff in your cereal box. Even with grown-up cereal (usually DVDs of movies you either never liked, or kinda liked for about two months twenty years ago). And, yeah, I always thought it was a gyp when you had to mail off for something. It's like they tricked you.
I don't know whether this guy did it or not. He's never told me (obviously, I couldn't say that he DID tell me, if he had...). The evidence looks so-so. Could go either way. I've only had one guy convicted who I was pretty sure didn't do it. Juries really do mostly get it right.
Let me amend that last statement, Chase: Juries normally do the right thing when there are two decent attorneys litigating the case. I have seen miscarriages of justice when one side or the other is poorly represented.
And that indeed is the reason SuperD defends, because he can and he can do it well.
Thanks for making our justice system work they way it should. There aren't too many bright guys/gals out there with great minds and big hearts who toil for the public. Your defendant is one lucky bugger.
Thanks, Amy. We'll see in a couple of days if Kaylon agrees.
Damn freakin' hippies. Thank God breakfast cereal is safe from that kind of marketing...and Spongebob mac 'n cheese sucks.
is NOW safe...
(edit, bitch)
Yeah, John, I definitely feel safer in the grocery aisles. I haven't seen Count Chocula or Frankenberry there in years. I also haven't seen SpongeBob mac-n-cheese. Hmmm. Maybe it's just animination discrimination.
You can still count on the Count being in big Markets. Never had Sponge Bob M n Cheese, but I know he's moved into Automobile marketing now.
Only thing worse than juries are Judges. I'm sure there are some good ones, but most are Ito-esqe from my experience (66 %) anyway. I had one (twice) at Auburn, who openly mocked the defendents, it bugged me a lot when I was the dependent (even though the cops realized they F'd up, he still wanted to convict me of something), another I had in traffic court was tired and didn't want to hear my story, when I loudly objected, she said, Ok, withold adjudication, pay court costs, what if I hadn't spoken up? And the third, well, he was good. Realized the cop was an A-Hole and dropped those charges, and no court costs, even cussed out the crooked ass TPD copper!
OH, and I believe we ate some Freakies one time and another.
When you listen to the jingle, it's kind of like the earliest form of rap ... just a few years later, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five came out with likes like,
"Well I'ma, Cowboy and I'm the real McCoy
I'm chocolate all over like an Almond Joy
Bowlegged cool brother and you will agree
On top of the world for the ladies to see
Gonna hip gonna hop gonna rock the spot
Gonna make everybody wanna rock rock rock
Gonna do it to the East, wanna do it to the West
Gonna make you relax right upon your chest"
.... see, it's a lot like, "We are the freakies, we are the freakies, and this is our freaky tree ..."
Freakies??? No wonder you forty-somethings have issues. There's nothing like freaking out little kids early in the morning. (Oh, and FYI: they have a website: http://www.freakies.com/ in case you want a trip down memory lane...).
Yeah, Ange, that's how it is, especially in Magistrate's court. Lawyers get a tiny bit of respect, regular citizens get almost none, a lot of the time. You want to be treated okay? Ask for a jury trial. Trouble is, it'll cost you a lot of time.
Chase, nobody mixed cereal and strange sexual habits like Rick James (bitch!): he was Super Freaky (Yow!).
Star, 'course I got issues, but I'm thinking a bowl of sugar covered monsters is more a sympton than a cause. So, when can I get an appointment?
