Hooray for the Weiners...... I Mean Winners!!!
In a surprising twist of events, Dawn, a.k.a. Baygirl32, a.k.a. Miss Maple Syrup (okay I might have made that last one up) fought tooth and nail and tied Pat Tillett for first place in Trivia Corner. I did not see this coming, I mean what are the chances? Any statisticians out there? If you figure out the odds, let me know by carrier pigeon. If you want the answers to the last round tell me in your comment.
I had stated in the rules of the game that the first place winner could choose between a guest post or for me to write a post about them. The second place winner would then be left with what the first place winner didn't pick. Since they both tied for first place I will let them both choose from either option. See what a nice guy I am? Don't believe what my Grandma tells you, she's just mad that she didn't win. So Pat and Dawn, you get to choose either a guest post here on JTC or for me to write a post about you and your blog (I would choose the guest post cuz I don't wanna write anything about either of you....lol). I want to give a shout out to RawknRobyn for trying her best, she might not have gotten a lot of answers right but I'll give her a pack of pretzel m&m's for effort.
Here are the final Trivia Corner Standings:
Rank............................. Points
1. Pat Tillett.................. 143
2. Baygirl32 ................... 143
3. Chuck ........................ 92
4.Geof............................79
5. Marlene ..................... 44
6. Nippy ......................... 42
7. Guilty of Gossip............ 32
8. RawknRobyn .................22
9. Ian ...............................10
10. Cruella Collett.............. 5
11. Copyboy......................... 1
12. Sara Beth...................... 1
13. Jana................... 'A' for effort
I know that most of you have been waiting on the results of the final cereal mascot battle between Tony the Tiger and Toucan Sam. Well, wait no more, I will tell you the winner after a message from our sponsors. What, we don't have any sponsors? Then who is funding this thing? It's free? Then who is sending me those paychecks? I need to get to the bottom of this. Oh yeah I was about to tell you who won the mascot battle.
That final round was a nail-biter. I tallied up all the votes and it was tied. That can't happen, I don't have a tie-breaker system. I looked over the votes again and realized that there was a late ballot for Tony on Monday, the polls closed on Sunday. So if you haven't put 2 and 2 together (you must have ridden the short bus to school and maybe to work), the winner of the cereal mascot battle is Toucan Sam!!! The parade will be next week, it will circle Tony the Tiger's block. Thanks to everyone that voted and participated. Toucan Sam couldn't of won without you. That's not true, he could of bribed me with tickets to The Price is Right but only if Bob Barker is guest hosting.

Battle of the Cereal Mascots: FINAL ROUND
This is the last battle to determine who is the greatest cereal mascot of all time. I assumed from the get-go that Tony would be in this last round but Toucan Sam is kind of a surprise. Personally I was rooting for the Cap'n to make it all the way. I have a thing for pirates, I'm thinking about getting a wooden leg.
Treat this final vote like it was for American Idol. I don't watch that show but I hear people enjoy it way too much. I decided to talk to a 3rd grade class and see if they had any questions for our mascots. I brought in the kids with the best questions to interview our combatants. Stick around after the match, we will be giving out free boxes of the winner's cereal.


Toucan Sam: Fire away.
Jake: Where do babies come from?
Toucan Sam: Do you know what a vagina is?
Jake: The state next to West Vagina.
Toucan Sam: Yes, babies come from there.
Sally: Why doesn't my daddy live with us anymore?
Toucan Sam: He probably doesn't love you anymore.
Ricky: How do you wipe your hiney?
Toucan Sam: I use SpongeBob.
Melissa: Where is Mrs. Toucan?
Toucan Sam: She left me for the Sonny the Cocoa Puffs bird. That guy is a real douche.
PTM: Okay Tony it's your turn.
Tony: Hurry up, I have to take a dump.
Jasmine: Who is your favorite superhero?
Tony: Captain Planet, I hate pollution too.
Nick: How do I get a girl to like me?
Tony: Have lots of money and stop picking your nose.
Penny: My mom says I'm not allowed to eat your cereal, too sugary. Can you talk to her?
Tony: Is that her in the leopard spandex? Tell her to meet me at the Super 8 motel at 7 tonight.
Mark: Why don't you wear any pants?
Tony: They don't make any with a tail hole and nobody seems to mind me walking around nude.
Now that we heard from the kids, let's hear from you. Will it be Tony or Toucan? Polls close on Sunday at 11:58 pm. I will announce the winner on Monday or Tuesday next week. Vote now.

Battle of the Cereal Mascots: Semi Finals: Round 2
Holy potatoes Batman, last week's battle was freakin' lopsided. I figured that Snap, Crackle & Pop would roast that bird but I was dead wrong. With what is being called as the upset of 2010, Toucan Sam laid those boys out. With something like 11 votes to 2, Toucan Sam is without a doubt headed to the final battle.
I was suppose to have a special guest today but they were kidnapped by Booberry and Frankenberry. I was told in a ransom note that they will return my special guest before next week's post if I promise never to eat or purchase Count Chocula again. Sorry Count but I have to get my special guest back for next week. Who you may ask is the special guest? I'd tell ya but I would have to kill your grandma or pet hamster, whichever you're closest too.
Today's fight determines who goes up against Toucan Sam in the final round. Make your votes count. As a added treat both the combatant's mothers decided to join us today. They were both eager to step into an interview. Who am I to pass up some hot moms?
Here today we have Tony the Tiger's mom Claudia and Trix Rabbit's mom Simone.
PTM: Was Tony a trouble maker when he was younger?
Claudia Tiger: My Tony? Not even close. Tony was a real big pussy when he was younger. He cried all the time over the littlest things. This one time his favorite bandana got shrunk in the wash and he threw the biggest hissy fit. He cried himself to sleep that night.
PTM: What were his first words?
Claudia Tiger: You're expecting me to say "they're grrreat", it was actually '' what's a scrotum?'.
PTM: Was he always a whiz with catch phrases?
Claudia Tiger: He got addicted to game shows at a young age and he used to imitate all the hosts. He aspired to replace Vanna White.
PTM: This may be out of line but how old are you?
Claudia Tiger: Old enough to kick your scrawny ass.
PTM: Sorry I asked, moving on. Is there still a Mr. Tiger in the picture?
Claudia Tiger: Not since last year. He's in prison now, I still don't know why he agreed to help O.J. rob that house.
PTM: How often do you visit 'Just the Cheese'?
Claudia Tiger: Is that the new cheese museum in Wisconsin?
PTM: Nevermind. Do you have any odd piercings or tattoos?
Claudia Tiger: I pierced our pet goldfish once, does that count? I also have a tattoo of some stripes on my back.
PTM: Wait, aren't you a tiger? Nevermind..... I love hot pockets and bacon.
Claudia Tiger: I love lean pockets and bacon bits, how weird.
PTM: How often did Tony dress up in your clothes?
Claudia Tiger: How does everyone know that? It was just a phase when he was 7 until he was 22.
PTM: Ok last question. What are your feelings about Tigger?
Claudia Tiger: If was 18 I would do things to him that you only see in hardcore pornos.
-------------
PTM: How many other children do you have?
Simone Rabbit: I have lost count over the years but I'm going to guess 58.
PTM: Are any of your other children famous?
Simone Rabbit: Not yet but Randy, Paul, Henry, Bernard and Icabod started a band that's really taken off. It's a mix of Justin Bieber and Vanilla Ice.
PTM: I'm not sure why you are wearing that negligee but you look damn good in it.
Simone Rabbit: Why thank you, you really know how to sweet talk a lady. Is that chapstick in your pocket or are you just looking at my boobs?
PTM: Both. You look so young, you must of been only 13 when you had Trix. Was he planned?
Simone Rabbit: Are you flirting with me? Cuz I like it. I was actually 9 when I had him. They don't make condoms for rabbits yet.
PTM: What was your favorite cartoon growing up?
Simone Rabbit: I only watched tv to catch an Energizer Bunny commercial. That guy gives me hot flashes but in a good way.
PTM: What would you do for a Klondike bar?
Simone Rabbit: Meet me in the bathroom after the interview and bring some peanut butter.
PTM: Do you have anything against Claudia Tiger?
Simone Rabbit: I hear she eats small animals.
PTM: Well she is a Tiger..... Was Trix popular in High School?
Simone Rabbit: He was after he got caught masturbating in the nurse's office.
PTM: Do you think you could beat The Invisible Seductress in a beauty contest?
Simone Rabbit: Maybe if I was 20 years younger and my breasts didn't sag as much. Who could beat the Seductress?
PTM: Okay last question. Chocolate, vanilla or ramen noodle?
Simone Rabbit: I don't understand the question.
Okay, time to cast your vote: Tony the Tiger or Trix Rabbit? Polls will close on Sunday at 11:58 pm. The final battle will be Tuesday.
If you are looking for trivia answers I'm extending Trivia Corner until Wednesday.

Battle of the Cereal Mascots: Semi-Finals Round One
In today's match we have Snap, Crackle & Pop versus Toucan Sam. As per the rules in the first battle the Rice Krispies boys can only fight one at a time and tag out when they want to, there will be no ganging up on Toucan Sam. Since I already interviewed both of these characters, I wanted to get the opinions of some fellow co-workers. Before the fight I interview the Janitor and Camera Man #3.


PTM: How do you feel about today's combatants?
Janitor: Those dweebs? I’ve seen more roughhousing at the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Rehearsals.
PTM: What do you use to clean up blood after the match?
Janitor: It’s this cool trick my mama taught me called the Sponge Bob Band-aid.
PTM: In your professional opinion, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
PTM: On a cold winter night, do you prefer the taste of Rice Krispies or Froot Loops?
Janitor: Hell, if I’m gonna eat that **** at all, it ain’t gonna happen on a cold winter night. I’m just sayin’.
PTM: Camera Man #3 has been talking smack about you for the past week. How do you feel about that?
PTM: One last question, Can you shampoo the couch that's in my office? RawknRobyn and Camera Man #2 left some stains on it last night.
Janitor: RawknRobyn? Dang, she acts all sweet and innocent. No wonder they call her “Rawkn” (said with an elbow nudge). Don’t worry about the stains, man. I’ll just pour red wine onto it, and you won’t see them anymore. It’s a little trick I learned while working at the White House in the 90’s.
PTM: Is it true that you have a gold statue of Toucan Sam in your house?
Camera Man #3: Yeah, in the corner of my bedroom. His nose is so long, he’s my idol!
PTM: Does it bother you that RawknRobyn is fooling around with Camera Man #2?
Camera Man #3: Nah, the only thing that bothers me about her (‘cuz she’s pretty damn near perfect, actually) is that she writes all this crap about celibacy on her blog, like she’s some hoity toity expert on the matter. I’m telling you, that little hot number doesn’t know the first thing about celibacy.
PTM: Did you vote for Obama?
Camera Man #3: Who’s that?
PTM: Why do you have a problem with the janitor?
Camera Man #3: One night when I was putting my equipment away, he walked by pointing and laughing at my lens, saying he never saw one so small. It really hurt my feelings. You know? Gotta tissue?
PTM: Have you always wanted to be a camera man since you were a little kid?
Camera Man #3: Nah, I just always wanted a bigger lens. I thought I might get one this way.
PTM: Okay, final question. What do you think of these shoes? I stole them out of Cap'n Crunch's locker last week.
Camera Man #3: Dude, those are some big, long shoes. I’m impressed (said while giving PTM a high-five).
I want to thank RawknRobyn from Life by Chocolate for playing the Janitor and Camera Man #3. If you don't follow her blog already then there is something wrong with you. Now the most important part, it's time to vote. And you are not voting for the Janitor or Camera Man #3, don't forget the battle is between Snap, Crackle & Pop and Toucan Sam. Polls close on Sunday at 11:57pm. The next round will commence next Tuesday. Come back tomorrow for Passionofthemom's Movie Game Guest Post.

Battle of the Cereal Mascots: Round 4
Today's battle is going to be an epic one, one for the ages, for the books (which books I'm not sure but they will be written down in something, maybe your diary) one you will surely not forget. Fighting today are Tony the Tiger and Cap'n Crunch.
Our combatants were really talking trash in the locker room so I let them interview each other. I hope they can keep their cool during the interview. I will listen in.

Cap'n: What is the capital of Uruguay?
Tony: What? I don't know. Why are you asking me that?
Cap'n: Just curious to see how smart you are.
Tony: I'm smart enough to know not to wear a pirate costume in public (snickering).
Cap'n: I'm under contract, I have to wear this ridiculous thing wherever I go.
Tony: Watch what you say man, you don't want to piss off your sponsors.
Cap'n: F@ck, Sh#t, God dammit, Motherf%cker!!
Tony: Whoa buddy, you curse like a pirate. Oh, wait...
Cap'n: Between you, me and that camera man, I don't even like the taste of Cap'n Crunch cereal. It tastes like Count Chocula's arm pits on a hot summer day.
Tony: That's Grrrrrross!

Tony: Why do we have to do another interview, I thought we just did one?
Cap'n: That was me interviewing you, now you have to interview me.
Tony: Who says?
Cap'n: Powdered Toast Man said.
Tony: Who the hell is he?
Cap'n: That tall dude that has a piece of toast for a head.
Tony: That douche?!?! Who put him in charge?
Cap'n: I think he owns this place but I also saw him cleaning the men's bathroom so I'm not sure.
Tony: Well I don't like him. Let's kick his powdery ass after our fight.
Cap'n: I think you might need to go to anger management. There are people that can help you there.
Tony: Looks who's talking, wife beater.
Cap'n: That's it, it's go time!!

Battle of the Cereal Mascots: Round 3
Today's battle is brought to you by the symbol "^". In the red corner weighing in at 63 pounds from Kellogg's Froot Loops, Toucan Sam. In the turquoise with a hint of yellow corner weighing in at 42 pounds, from Kellogg's Smacks, Dig 'Em Frog.
Before the fight I had our combatants interview me in the locker room.

PTM: Do you want to get paid for this fight or not? Just do the interview.
Toucan Sam: This microphone smells funny.
PTM: That's not a microphone, that's a hairbrush. Did you graduate High School?
Toucan Sam: No, I dropped out in the sixth grade.
PTM: That explains a lot. Just pick up the microphone and ask me at least one question, we don't have a lot of time.
Toucan Sam: Why did Julianne Moore play Clarice Starling in Hannibal and not Jodie Foster?
PTM: I think it's because Anthony Hopkins gave Jodie Foster crabs.

PTM: He's a moron. I hope you can do better.
Dig 'Em: Am I invited to your wedding?
PTM: Why would you be? This is the first time we have met.
Dig 'Em: I never get invited to weddings. I bet you would invite me if I was Tony the Tiger.
PTM: But you're not Tony the Tiger, so deal with it. Next question.
Dig 'Em: Why did Julianne Moore play Clarice Starling in ....
PTM: Toucan already asked that question. Are you f@cking with me?
Dig 'Em: Toucan put me up to it. He didn't know if you meant the actual crustacean or the STD.
PTM: I need to lay down.
