The Flakes of Wrath
Well, July has been really getting me down so far. I feel like crying every time I open a packet of cornflakes. "Why's that Cornflake King?!" I hear you cry. Well it's because of this damned blog and the technical problems I've been having. Look at the state I was in last night....
This is how much this blog means to me and how much it has hit me that I have been unable to do hardly any work on it. And to think cornflake fans around the world are that little bit worse off because of it.
Anyway, it's my birthday on Saturday, I'll be 27 years (if you count them in cornflake terms).
And am planning to celebrate with Tim and Ian, and Crunchy Durden if he wants to join us. We'll be mostly drinking white Russians with a sprinkling of cornflakes on top.
That's probably the greatest drink ever invented. White Russian cornflakes! White Russian cornflakes! White Russian cornflakes! White Russian cornflakes! White Russian cornflakes! White Russian cornflakes!
I spotted The Flaked Avenger again this week.
I wonder what adventures he will be getting up to over the next few days.... hmmmm.
Keep on breakfasting everybody!! It feels great to be back!!

Why do you ridicule me by putting my photograph on your blog?

"I have been unable to do hardly any work on it"
You'll find that is a double negative. It should read "I have been able to do hardly any work on it." You are illiterate.
A welcome return. The world of cereals will be a safer place with the FA around.
CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THE FLAKED AVENGER!!!!!!!!

Dear God/Allah/Buddah/Ganesh help us all.
As a former and current editor and a former English teacher, I must take issue with Charles Boase's hypercriticism of a an alleged double negative. First, linguistically speaking, as my linguistic professor pointed out circa 1968, the solecism of a double negative is more or less, as he put it, "an Aristotelian logic imposed on English." Double negatives have been used by great writers from the 10th century onward (cf. a great article on the topic at Bartleby.com). Second, even if we are to accept that current Standard English disapproves of the double negative, CK (who clearly is not illiterate [and if THAT is a double negative, it's legit]) would have to have written this to be truly guilty: "I have been unable to do hardly no work on it." The main point here (and I again refer you to the fine essay at Bartleby.com) is that the mere presence of two negative words in a sentence does not make for a grammatical sin. In fact, in can be a virtue. John F. Kennedy's speeches were sprinkled with phrases such as "we are not unwilling to wage peace..." Some would say it is an effective rhetorical device (it's called something or other but it escapes me). Third, CB probably even flakily thinks you can't split an infinitive (hahahaha). Cheers. Carry on.
Drugs are just bad, you should try to use Herbal Alternatives as a temporary replacement to loose the dependance!
Smoke,
My good man - are you saying I have some kind of addiction to the "drug" that is a cornflake breakfast!? I'd rather be addicted to cornflakes than some modern concoction of chemicals and what-nots.
Keep on breakfasting!!
