An old man grouses about the state of the world

Gather 'round youngsters, and let me tell you of a bygone era. The 1980s! Yes, yes, I know some of you weren't even born until the mid 80s, and you have no idea how old that makes me feel. Anyhow, my subject today is cereal. No, really. You see, back in the old days, back when Madison Avenue was obviously run by a bunch of quasi-intellegent apes, every movie that came out had a cereal attached to it. Oh, I remember many a Saturday morning when I'd sit around in my Han Solo underoos eating ET cereal while watching USA's Cartoon Express. Does anyone remeber an Indiana Jones related cereal? I'm pretty sure one must have existed. I remember Superman cereal, ET cereal and even the short-lived Star Wars cereal. And just when you thought we'd exhausted every possible Indy-related subject....

PS My email company has informed me that they are "upgrading." Upgrading meaning "not working." So if anyone has emailed me in the past week, I apologize for not answering. Unless you were sending me threatening emails. Bud-Arc, I'm looking in your direction!
