I happen to LIKE Cheetos...

[PCIntern]

and am pissed that they're now the "food of choice" for the Mom's basement-inhabiting RWers...

Just all this talk of Limbaugh made me think of this...it's hard to buy them at the store without feeling guilty and making sure that no one sees them in my cart.

1. Just sayin'... cheetos can give you a teabag-shaped figure

maybe there are more enlightened not-so-bad-for-you cheetos out there : - )))

[PCIntern]

3. Funny! DUzy!!!

shame we don't do DUzy's anymore...I'm almost as upset about that as I am about the Cheetos...

2. Crunchy cheetos. One of my favs.

[MH1]

18. Me too, except for the consequence of orange fingers

If they could figure out how to keep the dye from rubbing off on your fingers, crunchy cheetos would be the perfect junk food. :)

22. Use a spoon - or chopsticks. I have been known to bury my face in the bowl.

[MH1]

24. LOL - resulting in "orange face"?

that would be worse than orange fingers!

[geckosfeet]

25. Yes - I am an orange noser.

4. Cheetos for breakfast. Mmmmmm....

I only eat them when I'm feeling especially self-destructive. I found out yesterday that backpackers use them to start camp fires. Awesome!

[here_is_to_hope]

6. Frito's are better to start fires with...lol. eom

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

8. Interesting... about campfires.

They just came out with Giant Cheetos, Put one of these on a stick and have a nice torch.

5. I always thought they were the food of choice of us smokers.

Or Bugles. Bugles stoned are better than an orgasm

7. The difference is that Freepers think because there's some sort of

ultra pasteurized fake cheese product in them, they're part of a balanced diet, good for them.

You do know they're junk, don't you? Knowing they're junk makes them taste much better.

10. Freepers recommend dipping

them in Ronald Reagan's "vegetable": ketchup.

9. Just make sure you buy the Cheetos and Mountain Dew on separate shopping trips.

No one will suspect anything.

[HopeHoops]

11. Cheetos are evil - they turn you into a freeper!

Stuff your face and get stupid! BWAAAHAAAAHAAAHAAAAA!

[baldguy]

14. It's the glowing orange dust that does it.

THAT'S NOT CHEESE!

[csziggy]

21. That is why the white cheddar Cheetos are the ones to buy!

Of course, then you have to explain the white powder all over your face, hands and clothes.

12. Mmmm Cheetos

I love them too but we've been eating Sun Chips Harvest Cheddar lately. They are my cat's favorite food. He will not leave me alone unless I give him a little piece, then another.... This is the only food he attacks me for.

One of my work buds brought in some Quaker cheddar rice cakes. They were actally quite edible -- not a Cheeto or Sun Chip, but not bad. The cat doesn't go nuts for them either.

13. My cat of blessed memory used to love

olive juice. She would chase me around the house if we made a salad with olives which she could smell from the other room. I'd have to go back to the fridge and get her an olive. then she would run around with it in her mout and devour it hungrily...licking her lips for hours afterwards. Funny, one was always enough...

[Catshrink]

15. They are marvelously weird creatures, aren't they?

Okay, this is gross but you're a doc, you can take it.

My sister's cat, also of blessed memory, was quite a mouser in his day. Whenever he caught one, he'd crack open the skull and eat the brain and only the brain. I said it was because he didn't have one of his own. The vet said that some cats have their own special part they like and stick to that rather than eating the whole thing.

I'm thinking that cats' preferences for olives, Sun Chips, mouse brains, or whatever is just a quirk of personality. (Another one of my cats is crazy for salmon -- not tuna but salmon -- and another loves milk but no other dairy.)

edited for grammar and spelling - ugh

17. GREAT STORY!!

My fambly thinks I'm nuts 'cause I go to LOLCats all the time and laugh out loud and watch Yutube cat videos, although I haven't had one of my own in 35 years.

My fave story, and it doesn't hold a candle to yours, is that we had a young dog who was pretty good with the 5 cats. She never had an accident but one day both my Mom and I couldn't make it home and she had to do #2, which she did in the cat box. When we came home all the cats were awaiting us and were 'screaming' for us to follow them. there it was...a giant dog turd.

So I cleaned out the box, filled it with fresh litter, but to no avail. They wouldn't get near it. so I had to go out and buy a new pan with fresh litter and they watched me carefully as I removed the old pan. For two weeks, the cats would snarl at the dog whenever she walked past. It was a riot.

23. That is hysterical!

I love LOLcats, too. One portion of my students' quarter projects was an oral presentation. The last one to present yesterday was about animal caretakers. He had several cartoons throughout and ended with an LOLcats pic. The kids loved it. We had a few minutes left and, since it was Friday, I pulled up the website and we just browsed. I also pulled up the LOLcats Bible project just for grins. (I prefaced it with "I hope no one is offended...") They didn't know about it and a few of them had to come up closer to look at the screen and eventually they took over navigating.

LOLcats is brilliant in its goofiness.

16. If you like Cheetos

Buy an Asian brand of cheetos. Yuummmmeeeeeee! There is a subtle sweet flavor that compliments the salty. :9

19. You could always claim to be a professional finger painter

That would help explain away your orange finger tips.

[Arkana]

20. I enjoy Cheetos too--but I can't eat a whole bag of them in one sitting.
