Don Quick-Oats

The legendary pseudo-warrior of Quaker descent with an abnormal craving for pre-cooked dry cereal.

The history-books have it all wrong --- Don Quick-Oats wasn't mistaking everyday objects for monsters or other fierce enemies; he would charge windmills merely in the hope of scoring some of the tasty freshly-ground grain stored inside of them.

feeling your oats

When horses are fed oats, they tend to behave more energetically afterward. So if a horse is said to be "feeling his oats" it refers to energetic prancing around the field, or more assertive or excited behavior, and may be literally due to diet. When people are said to be "feeling their oats", it is because the same kind of behavior (higher energy, enthusiasm, assertiveness, or excitement) is observed, even though other causes may be assumed.

Since you're feeling your oats today, would you use some of that energy taking the dog for a walk?

Quaker Oats

The nourishing breakfast everybody needs in their life. Consume Quaker Oats and you will become nearly as omnipotent as the Quaker Oats man himself. Every oat, whether it be instant or cooked, is packed with the energy and stat points you need to succeed in life. Legend has it that the Quaker Oats man placed 3 godly stat points in each savory oat. Eat it with applesauce, with fish, or with pineapples- Quaker Oats is what you need for your steps toward omnipotence. The Quaker Oats Man is one of many gods, others including Gatis Kandis and Tongo. Shoutouts to them.

I'm look forward to tomorrow's heart-healthy breakfast of Quaker Oats!
