Four penguins and some exotic fish were killed in the accident, including three penguins that were hit by passing motorists, said Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Richard Buchanan. “The rest of the penguins kind of stayed together in the ditch.”

The truck, also carrying an octopus that was uninjured, was bound for Moody Gardens, a tourist destination in Galveston, an hour south of Houston, a resort spokeswoman said.

Simply that Dinaverg is an equal opportunity eater. Or do you discriminate against eating people of a different race?

Actually it's about that grits seem to be a distinctly black breakfast (and lunch, and dinner) item. But Iztat's idea is cool too.

Actually it's a Southern thing. A whole crapload of Southerners moved to Detroit in the 50s and 60s, and since the riots the majoriy of Detroit is black, so Detroiters (who are now mostly black) eat grits. Or am I wrong in thinking you're from the Detroit Metro area?

Being from central Michigan I'd never heard of grits until I joined the Army, and Southerners ranted and raved about them. I have a box of grits I've had for almost a year I still haven't cooked.

If the grits are black youve badly overcooked them.

Oh and ZOMG I ATE BLACK PEOPLE FOOD!

We may have infected the white southerners. We can put anything in grits man...cheese, butter, sugar, salt, bacon, gravy, ham, jelly, pepper, eggs, sausage...I'm sure I've missed more, and I've seen all those things personally, in many combinations. And yeah, Metro Detroit here.

Nope, it was the white (and black) southerners who infected you. Grits are a staple in the South and largely unknown outside of the large industrial cities of the North. In many Northern states you can't get grits, but in Michigan (which was one of the leading industrial states of the world in the 50s and 60s, with many jobs for poor Southerners) grits can be found in most of the lower peninsula. You'll find that most whites in Detroit came up from the South in the 50s or 60s, or came from overseas at some point, because in the 67 riots most of the whites with money fled the city to Bloomfield and Rochester. Southern food in Detroit is one of the odd (fun) things about Michigan history.

Personally, I only eat grits with 1.8 metric asstons of sugar and 1.2 metric asstons of butter per ounce.

Nah, see. My mom's from Louisana, my dad Alabama. I'm a deep south-type.

And the unit is a metric fuckton.

So it was black southerners who infected you! When did they move up here?

I forget the conversion between the metric asston and the metric fuckton. It has something to do with the strength of the yen......

Maybe up North, but not where I'm from in Texas. E'rybody eats 'em.

The best thing about grits is Japanese people tend to react about as badly to grits as I do to natto (http://www.google.com/), so grits're great revenge. :D (Not to mention a great test for compatability - I almost married my last GF when she tried grits and liked them.)

Ah, but they're black Southerners. You're not. You're a black Michigander. They still infected you with a love for grits. Of course, my grandpa would kill me if he knew that I like grits with the aforementioned amounts of butter and sugar

Apparently my brother-in-law (a Polack from Inkster) is a huge fan of grits. My sister just told me that, although I suppose I should ask her later why she called me at 12:30am just to talk. I've drank a 6 pack of Leinenkugel's tonight, so I didn't notice anything was amiss with a phone call at this hour.

Lets see...what did I have for breakfast?

Well, I live in a dorm. The one famous for really really bad food. So, obviously precooked stuff is out of the question.

I had a double bowl of Raisin Bran (best cereal in the history of...cereal), and a few slices of toast.

God I hate my life. :(
