Memory Map-Cwabs Edition →
secretdark: I’ve had a fairly bad week thus far and, after discovering that I could see some slides I used to go on from space, I started making a map of random childhood memories. I’m enjoying just writing things. I was inspired by secretdark’s childhood recollections to come up with one of my own. South Alabama isn’t as exotic a locale as South Africa, but it was still a lot of...

This should be fun:
It looks like “Robert Langdon” is following me on Twitter, thanks to a name-check from yesterday. I kinda feel sorry for the Doubleday intern assigned to that account, but that’s not going to stop me from asking if Robert can interpret certain, um, “symbols,” to help me solve a mystery. Stay tuned (next week, when I have some free time) for The Fancycwabs Code.

For the record:
If you feel like commenting, comment. If you feel like reblogging as comment, reblog-as-comment. If you feel like reblogging (or “retweeting”) to share the funny or interesting thing I posted (or reblogged) with folks who don’t follow me (and there are a lot of ‘em), do that. If you feel like commenting when this thing gets imported to Facebook, do that. If you feel...

Experiment 638(c): White Russian Cereal
Back in the day, the inimitable Lore Sjoberg wrote a rating of breakfast cereals in which he lamented the fact that they hadn’t followed Apple Jacks with Kahlua Krispies, which put the wisps of a thought in my head. This was probably close to ten years ago, mind you. In the intervening time, I’ve examined how cereal was made, driven by the local Kellogg’s factory countless times...
