Cheerio Cabinet – $150
Four Shelve Cheerio cabinet has small burn mark on top of cabinet.
This is the perfect place to store my vintage cereal collection! When you’ve got a valuable commodity like that, you want to make sure that they’re stored and protected appropriately. I’ve been keeping them in my gighugic storage thingy, but the dead hooker and mold smell is starting to seep into my Cocoa Freakies. This self-immolating Cheerio cabinet will keep them dry and crispy.
Thanks, Amanda!
It’s really just a Ta-Ta cabinet, but Cheerio makes it sound so much more sophisticated.
It also comes in Buh-Bye and at the lower end is the all white C-Ya model made with MDF.
There’s a matching table and chairs, too. However, I believe they are only available in Imouttahere.
I believe in New England they’re called Toodle-oo cabinets.
I believe you’re right, mudsy.
And, in interwebby-ish they’re called L8R cabinets.
Over in Lolspeak, it’s Kthxbai.
Ta-Ta cabinets were all the rage on this season of “Real Housewives of Orange County.”
Archie-darlin’!! Good to see you and those lovely ‘brows! 🙂
*waves* Seems here lately I can only stop in and visit the snark lounge on occasion. *looks at tortilla chip crumbs on floor* Was there a fiesta in here recently?
We are on baby alert here. Daughter-in-law in Virginia is >thisclose< to having second Eyebrow granddaughter! And, if happy endorphins have anything to do with it, delivery should be real soon. She got the surprise of her life this afternoon when Eyebrow son walked in the door of their kitchen. He's on deployment in Afghanistan (EOD) but was able to wrangle a small window of time to come home for the birth. Yay!
Yay for babies! Best wishes to all involved, and that’s great about your son getting home!
[Captain Subtext] Note all of the wedding gewgaws in the cheerio cabinet. Are we to infer that the cabinet is for sale because the Sparkies’ marriage became a little less, ahem, cheery? If so, dare we ask how the burn mark got there? [/Captain Subtext]
Sparky did a wonderful job of hiding the burn with miscellaneous junk though, you have to give him credit for a slight amount of effort. I mean he found actual stuff, possibly on Craigslist, to put up there rather than just strapping the cat to it with bungee cords and playing music loudly so the neighbors couldn’t hear.
Damn, I was really after a Cheetos cabinet – reckon this one will convert?
That would depend on what shelve you plan to put ‘Chester’.
In the drawer, naturally.
Freaky-puppy….that was L-squared asking, not Naturally. He was slated to play first base, but was replaced by Who at the last minute.
Third base!
Wait, I may have skipped a step.
Was that before or after Who got his doctorate?
Yeah – you need to buy it dinner first, or at least a nice bottle of polish.
Nuh-uh, not doing that again. Last time I tried that it got all angry and left in a huff.
Happy Meal my ass.
Dave — Both.
Maybe you should have gotten the Happy Ending Meal instead.
Sweet, now I have a place to store all my cereal killer action figures!
The good thing about these is that they stay crunchy in milk, but I can never eat a whole one.
Burn mark? I guess Sparky didn’t realize that Cheerio cabinets are best served cold, not hot.
Wait…I thought that was revenge….
I’m so confused…………
Revenge can easily be reheated in the microwave of evil.
Or toasted in the toaster oven of hatred
Yeah, but then it gets hard around the edges and the cheese gets all rubbery.
You must have forgotten to cover it with the damp paper towel of apathy.
I didn’t forget. I just didn’t care.
Rubbery Revenge-that’s either a band name or a porno, possibly both.
This whole thread made me giggle. I especially liked the damp paper towel of apathy. 😀
Oh..that explains it. I made a mistake and covered it with the soggy diaper of despair!!!
*my bad*
I shall put it in the Microwave-Safe Container of Catastrophe!
I think you all need the easy bake oven of happiness.
I have an announcement: Burnt cheerios do not smell good. That is all.
I’m afraid to ask how you know this.
When I was a small llama in the wilderness of the suburbs, we used to burn cereal to keep warm in the winter. We would all huddle around the Cocoa Puffs and blow on our little hooves.
Poor small llamas. Now I want to go knit little llama cozies for them.
You could use alpaca yarn!
I think ponchos would look great on little llamas!
Llama snuggies!
So they can easily read a book on the couch.
Or while relaxing beside a flaming bowl of Fruity Pebbles.
Or while being made into habits for nuns to wear.
Oh, the irony.
Well, you’ve obviously never had my cabinet broiled cheerios.
They’re combustibally delicious.
CHEERIOS NOT ON FIRE!
Pity this is too small to store my dead explorers. Livingston just doesn’t look right all bent over with his legs jutting out. Now if we disassembled him it would be abuse of a corpse. He would fit though.
Is it honey nut?!
No worries. I think it’s nuttin’, honey.
I think it’s nuts, honey.
Sure Happy It’s Thursday! And this post has given me a much needed chuckle. But you know, I haven’t been able to afford real Cheerios lately. Would the cabinet still work if I used store-brand Oaties?
Generic cabinetry is often just as good as the name brand stuff. Plus you can buy it in bulk!
Bulk is good. So say the doctors.
Bulk smash!
The urban dictionary says
If you have donut shaped bits, contact a doctor immediately.
Taco, behave yourself in the box today with the goddess. Leave your freeze ray outside, and no touching the shoulder knees. Unless, you know, she says it’s okay.
Good thing there’s no pita horn in there with them…
*Sits on his hands*
Awwwwww maaaaaaaan.
OT alert!
GHOSTCAT! So, in the tradition of ‘small world after all and cue the Twilight Zone music’ I was reading your blog here at work about five minutes ago, the one about the ‘boy toys.’ Right at that moment, my co-worker was talking about a happymeal her son had that had Batman, Flash, and a random, unknown purple dude in it. No one knows who the hell the purple dude is… do you know as you also have said purple dude according to the picture? We are baffled.
/OT
The Sportsmaster.
Actually, this is the SECOND of the two sportsmasters.
That is Sportsmaster, a sports-themed villian.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sportsmaster
Thanks! And of all the villians to include in a Batman and Flash oriented happymeal… Sportsmaster? Really?
Unless it’s from Taco Bell. Then it’s the Sporkmaster.
*chucks a door at Bianchi* For reasons unknown, that just struck me as hilarious 😀
I know, I opened the little toy bag and was like ” Batman! Cool! And The Flash! Awesome! And … What the hell?”
I have a theory that his relative lameness was used like a graphite rod to keep the Happy Meal from exploding with awesomeness.
[OT] For you Hugh Laurie fans[/OT]

Airport screening is really getting invasive, isn’t it? Off with those slippers, Mister!!
Oh Hugh?
Catch!
O.O Why did I click on that?!
My thoughts exactly.
I should know better than to click or press anything having to do with Bombdude.
And yet for some sadistic reason, we keep doing it…
Ah, look at all the vintage cereal
Ah, look at all the vintage cereal
All of the Sparky’s put the Rice Krispies in the cabinet where the Cheerios belong
Like in a dream
Sits at the table, waiting for milk that she keeps in a jar in the door
Who is it for?
All the vintage cereal
Where do they all come from?
All the vintage cereal
Where do they all belong?
Father McSparky reading the words on the box that no one wants to hear
2001 was the year.
Look at him hurling, ruining his socks with stains from some old Fruity Pebbles
What does he care?
All the vintage cereal
Where do they all come from?
All the vintage cereal
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the vintage cereal
Ah, look at all the vintage cereal
All of the Sparky’s died from munching on the mold that was buried below the brand name
Nobody cared
Father McSparky wiping the dust from his hands as eats from the box
None was saved
All the vintage cereal
Where do they all come from?
All the vintage cereal
Where do they all belong?
Now I’ll have that in my head all day 🙂
I was really looking for a bike cabinet.
I believe this cabinet is multi-ethnic. The Cheerio infers British but the ‘e’ on shelve points to Canadian.
Maybe this would be a good place to store all my U.N. Action Hero figurines.
Oh! Do you have a 1961 Rookie Adlai Stevenson? I’m missing that one. I can trade you a Boutros Boutros-Ghali or two. I have quite a bevy of Boutros Boutroses.
Can I barter my batch of Ban Ki-moons for your bevy of Boutros Boutroses?
Of course the singular of “shelves” is “shelve.” Looks fine to me!*
*This might not actually be true.
I thought it was “shelvii”
Everyone knows the singular of shelf is elf, one elf, two shelf, three shelves…
No, “shelvii” is plural, the singular of that is “shelvus.”
Didn’t everyone learn that in 2nd grade?
did I go to second grade??????
I think I read that the way Taco would have. Oh n0, the corner must have given me something contagious.
No, no, no! Come on, guys, decline the darned noun!
Shelvus
Shelvi
Shelvo
Shelvum
Shelvo
Shelvi
Shelvorum
Shelvis
Shelvos
Shelvis
Shelve
Shelvi
I’m going to have to decline. Sorry.
GhostCat — you could expand your toenail collection if you bought the Cheerio cabinet. I don’t think it has to be used just for Cheerios, you could “repurpose” it. It could now be the toenail and bedazzled hooves cabinet.
That would look pretty marvelous between my antique credenza and that umbrella stand I keep femurs in.
I keep lemurs in mine!
🙂
I keep mine in lemurs!
Look, Taco ovulated in the box!
… That really didn’t come out right…

Did this once belong to a cereal killer?
