Hearing things

Rather recently I mentioned a site called Overheard in the Office, which posts strange things people hear at work. Yesterday I sent an e-mail to the owner of the site with a suggestion.

The reply:

And my reply to him:

So, considering I haven't messed up my chances by making him mad, we should see Overheard in School sometime. I think I'll live vicariously through the site, should it come to exist. I'd like to see it become popular in schools around the world. But my biggest triumph would be to have it banned on the school computers, an honor that this site has not even achieved. I guess we'll have to stay tuned...

What do you eat for breakfast? This may sound like an odd question, but as they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

In recent history, I ate Toaster Scrambles for several long periods. That is, until I got so sick of them that I was almost throwing up. Until I could choose a good cereal, I ate Pop-Tarts. I finally settled on Frosted Flakes, but it takes me forever to eat them and they've gotten kind of boring. Yesterday I had a Nutri-Grain bar, and I thought that was good, so maybe I'll have one with my cereal from now on.

But what do you eat for breakfast (if anything)? Do you drink coffee, milk, alcohol? Are you satisfied with your choices of breakfast? What would you do to make your breakfast better? Please post a comment and let the rest of us know.

So goes this site featuring social customs and cultural differences of the United States. I know everyone hates us, but I had no idea that (according to the "Stereotypes" page) they think we're drunkards and racists; that we're extravagant, wasteful, boastful, arrogant, generous, ignorant of other countries and cultures, informal, insensitive, lazy, loud, obnoxious, promiscuous, rich, rude, snobbish, stingy, and disrespectful of authority; or that we think we know everything and think every country should imitate the US.

This is a good read for my fellow Americans to see how the world sees us.
