My biggest claim to fame is Elvis's grandmother and my grandfather were first cousins. New wineries that have no history often slap a head turning name like Cat's Peah on their labels to get buyers to notice and purchase their vintage if only as a novelty. Hopefully, my blog name alone will garner a hit or two. This blog is not action packed, but is only about me, my stuff and how it effects my world.

One of my Addictions
Created in 1963, Cap’n Horatio Crunch is a fun-loving sea captain. He was born and raised on Crunch Island, which is located in the Milk Sea. He wears a blue captain’s uniform, and a large blue captain’s hat. His ships is the SS Guppy, which he sails with his first mate, Seadog(1963), and his crew of four kids. Their mission is to keep the cargo hold of cereal from falling into the hand of Jean La Foote the Barefoot Pirate(1968).
Daws Butler, the voice of Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound for Hanna Barbera, and literally dozens of characters in the Fractured Fairy Tales segments for Ward, was the original vice of the Cap’n. June Foray(Rocky the Flying Squirrel, Little Nell, Witch Hazel)played all the female characters as well as two of the kids on the Guppy’s crew. Paul Frees(Boris Badenov, Inspector Fenwick, and most of the pirate voices in "Pirates of the Caribbean" at the Disney theme parks)was the narrator.
Other characters(and cereals)associated with them: Harry S. Hippo(Punch Crunch), Jean Lafoote the Barefoot Pirate(Cinnamon Crunch), Wilma the Winsome White Whale and Seadog(Vanilla Crunch), Chockle the Blob, a shape-shifting blob of chocolate chip cooke dough(Choco Crunch), Crunchberry Beast(Crunch Berries), Smedley the Elephant(Peanut Butter Crunch), Cap’n Crunch as Santa Claus(Christmas Crunch), Tugboat Granny(Cap’n Crunch’s Instant Hot Cereal), Shark and Turtle(Deep Sea Crunch), Magnolia Bulkhead and Otis, The Soggies and Jean Lafoote’s son.
Cap’n Crunch Ship Shake(1969/1970) came in three flavors: Chocolate Malt, Chocolate, and Strawberry. It was "as good for your as a bowl of oatmeal".
Cap’n Crunch’s Airhead Berries(2003)was basically a box of Crunch Berries shaped like balloons in 4 berry flavors. They also included a package of Airheads inside the box.
