Re: Corn stuff
Now refresh my memory..Did Homer Jethro do Kellogg's Corn Flakes commercials, or was it for that once heavily advertised but I think long-gone alt. brand " Country Cornflakes"--scorched in my memory with TV chickens finishing off the brand name--as in, "New Country Cornflakes, New Country Cornflakes, bock-bock-bock-buck, ba-bock-bock-buck"? I need to keep these things straight, ya know. Barry M ... but I believe Homer Jethro made use of the wor (cornfusion) in one or another of their pieces related to their Kellogg's Corn Flakes ads, and I'm pretty sure it was also used at least occasionally on Hee Haw.

Anyway, it seems virtually impossible that the minds that came up with "Cornfucius" could have overlooked "cornfused" I have a book at home (a birthday gift a couple of months back from my brother) that collects pictures of cereal boxes and cereal prizes from the '60s. There are one or two pictures in the book of HJ's appearances on Kellog's cereal boxes. I'm up in New Hampshire as I write this but I can follow up on this when I get back home if anyone's really that interested. --Jon Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wollaston, Massachusetts
