More fun than finding out that Flammable and Inflammable mean the same thing.

   The other day I was watching TV. The day before that I was ALSO watching TV, and the day before that. (I can't remember further back than four days). But in one of those days, I happened across a commercial for Honey Nut Cheerios: It featured the Cheerios Bee working with a trainer in hopes of one day being able to beat the kid to the Honey Nut Cheerios.

   Well anyhow, this commercial made me think (it was kinda hard at first, but I got the hang of it.) I wasn't even aware that the bee wouldn't get any Cheerios if the kid beat him there. I figured that just the embarrasment of not being there first was enough, and then they'd share the Cheerios. But even so, I still don't really feel that sorry for the bee. My heart goes out to the Trix rabbit.

   Unlike with the Cheerios Bee, the Trix rabbit doesn't even have a chance. Time after time, scheme after looney scheme, the Trix rabbit is just reduced to LSD-like hallucinations of Orangey-Oranges, Purpley-Grapes and Reddish-Cherries.The bee has a CHANCE of winning the race. And besides, you can tell the bee doesn't want it as much as the Trix rabbit does.The bee lets out a half-hearted cheer of "nobody beats a bee to the taste of nuts and honey!"; the Trix rabbit goes completely bonkers. Cartoon eyes bulging out into various fruity-colored shapes, he floats through the air, ears twisting into a knot, completely overrun with artificially-flavored passion. That poor Trix rabbit just can't get what he wants.

   Alas, the perils and pitfalls of both the Bee and the Trix rabbit are many; to say nothing of SugarBear and Lucky the Leper. (Something like that). But what can I say; Chester Cheetah kicks all their butts.
