Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs (and for murdering four people)

(Merry) Happy President’s Day everybody. I hope you all enjoyed sleeping in late and waking up to my Bitter Lawyer post (read here). It was a nice half-day at the office with an afternoon round of golf (shot an 85). Nonetheless, as I stated, I am sure most of you spent the holiday sleeping-in then watching NCIS reruns on television all day.

Bunch of crunch: Cocoa Puffs is a chocolatey breakfast cerealUnfortunately for Holly Grigsby she was unable to celebrate her President’s Day eating bowl after bowl of her favorite cereal all morning. Grigsby is currently in jail awaiting trial for four murders including killing Cody Myers for having a ‘Jewish-sounding’ name; and killing Reginald Clark for being black. She has since claimed her constitutional rights are being denied, not because she is in jail for being a psycho white supremacist, but because she is denied access to Cocoa Puffs. Wait…what? Lawyers for the 24-year-old demand that Grigsby have access to candy bars and other snack food along with her favorite cereal, Cocoa Puffs.

Cocoa Puffs? Seriously. They don’t even make the top 10 of cereals. Here is your top 5:

  1. Cinnamon Toast Crunch (best cereal in the game. Period.)
  2. Pops
  3. Fruity Pebbles
  4.  Frosty Flakes (a classic)
  5. Apple Jacks (would be higher but they cut the roof of my mouth all up.

Maybe this is the basis of an insanity defense because you cannot be sane and consider Cocoa Puffs the top cereal. That’s just crazy talk.
