Memoirs of a Board Gamer

I am a child of the 70's. I was born in 1965 but my brain wasn't fried crisp until it was dredged and slopped into the smoking, cast-iron skillet we called Saturday morning T.V. You couldn't make it any better than getting up early, heading downstairs, flipping on the tube to watch Jonny Quest, Scooby Doo, Land of the Lost, and Hong Kong Phooey while eating your favorite cereal in a bowl three times the size of your head.

This was back when advertisers told the truth and named their cereals for what they really were. Super Sugar Crisp for cripes sakes rather than Free Range Honey Fiber Blow (now with Graham Twigs!). My favorite cereal was Quisp.

Quisp is a baked paste of corn meal and syrup, identical in overall taste and texture to its sister brand Cap'n Crunch but shaped like flying saucers.

By the late 70's you stopped seeing it in stores but I was pleased to learn that Quisp is actually still available but only over this new fangled internets thingy at Quisp.com. I might just pick up a box and take a trip down memory lane...if I could just remember what else is back there...oh and I'd have to buy a T.V.
