  32. - Oswego Willy - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:09 am:

    - VanillaMan - on Fire!

    @FakeAaronSchock - Wheaties was looking for a cartoon mascot, a first for them, to promote this project, then they called me. #Underdog #JimmyOlsen


  33. - Jake From Elwood - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:17 am:

    Hmm… I doubt Schock eats that many carbs first thing in the morning…


  34. - CirularFiringSquad - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:18 am:

  36. - LizPhairTax - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:32 am:

    I’m not overcompensating for ANYTHING. Seriously.


  37. - Norseman - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:33 am:

    Wheaties sales plummets after placing a picture of a congressman on their boxes. Business analysts attribute the disastrous loss on the public’s animosity toward politicians.


  38. - Precinct Captain - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:45 am:

    Eat your Wheaties and you can have as big a head as mine!


  39. - Oswego Willy - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:47 am:

    Very honored - VanillaMan -, but I thought I would be on the Milk Carton under the line, “Have you seen this Dope?”

    Great stuff, you are in rare air today.

    @FakeAaronSchock - the “schock” value has to be 10, but you get 2 tickets to the “Gun Show” with me on the front. #TheBeachIsThatWay


  40. - In_The_Middle - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:50 am:

    A good way to jump start the House of Representatives… feed them a box of champions in the morning.


  41. - Jake From Elwood - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 1:28 pm:

    Norseman, good one!
    I almost lost my Golden Grahams on that one…


  42. - Former Titan - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 1:30 pm:

    Schockingly close brush with substance (albeit wheat flakes) for first time in career.


  43. - Goooner - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 1:31 pm:

    Interesting that he’s on a box of cereal.

    I hear that in his district, his photo is also on milk carton.


  44. - Goooner - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 1:32 pm:

    Let my comment above be a lesson to us all to read ALL the comments before posting.


  45. - hot chocolate - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 1:34 pm:

    Next up, Lou Lang on boxes of Weedies


  46. - wordslinger - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 1:38 pm:

    VMan, I see you’ve reserved Bananas Nuts Krunch for yourself.

    Good call.


  47. - A guy... - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 2:19 pm:

    Wow, VMan, Thanks, maybe, not sure, Hmmm. I’m entertained though. Save Shredded Wheat for yourself this time! LOL


  48. - 47th Ward - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 2:32 pm:

    Urkel-Os? I’m wearing you down VMan. I’m wearing you down.


  49. - VanillaMan - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 2:37 pm:

    Yeah - that’s you all over, 47th.


  50. - A guy... - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 2:40 pm:

    Word strikes me more as a “start the day with yogurt” kinda guy. Just a gut feeling. It’s something that’s gotta go bad before it gets good.


  51. - Oswego Willy - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 2:46 pm:

    I meant to ask, does “RINO Puffs” have marshmallows?

    They have to have marshmallows. And a prize; a clipboard a pen in every box…


  52. - wordslinger - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 2:49 pm:

    Guy, your gut is about as right sa usual. I don’t think I’ve ever had a yogurt in my life, except by accident when I thought it was ice cream.

    Coffee and smokes, bacon and eggs on Sundays.


  53. - A guy... - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 2:59 pm:

    See Word, you went bad before you got good. LOL. Try some bananas, they’ll put some brakes in the renal system after all those eggs. :)


  54. - Walker - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 3:15 pm:

    Vanilla Man Waffles

    Good stuff VMan.


  55. - Walker - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 3:19 pm:

  59. - Kirk - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 7:26 pm:

    the ultimate laxative


  60. - Streator Curmudgeon - Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 8:33 pm:

    Would have been funnier if they had used the photo of him when they told him Dubya was coming to Peoria to campaign for him. I loved that deer-in-the-headlights look.
