Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for March 04, 2024

Made me think of Graham Kerr, the TV “Chef”, was he ever sober? I went to a book signing of his, had the book in my hand and somebody wanted to chat with him, after about 10 minutes I put the unpurchased book on his table and walked out!

According to Wikipedia:

“The graham cracker was inspired by the preaching of Sylvester Graham, who was part of the 19th-century temperance movement. He believed that minimizing pleasure and stimulation of all kinds, including the prevention of masturbation, coupled with a vegetarian diet anchored by bread made from wheat coarsely ground at home, was how God intended people to live, and that following this natural law would keep people healthy. Towards that end, Graham introduced the world’s first graham wafer product. It was a dull, unsifted flour biscuit baked by Graham himself.3

“The sugarless wafers were a key component of the eponymous diet.3 His preaching was taken up widely in the midst of the 1826–1837 cholera pandemic.4: 15–27  5: 29–35 67 His followers were called Grahamites and formed one of the first vegetarian movements in America; graham flour, graham crackers, and graham bread were created for them. Graham neither invented nor profited from these products.”

Graham Cracker crust is delicious!

Lots of them here, Satchel, their first name is coal!

I once met a Caucasian gentleman from the UK named Graham Cracker…(think about it).

Isn’t that what Black folks call White folks, Crackers?

Well there was a guy named Crapp.

Poor Satchel. What a real brain surgeon!

Well, there was a guy named Crapper….

all us wettos have been called cracker for 100 years in many hoods

I’m surprised Bucky knew that.

That’s Graham Caucasian!

He was a great TV detective!

Touché

I am LOLing!!!

We had a German shepherd that LOVED graham crackers. He would pester us, and even go to the place where they were kept as a hint, if we didn’t give him some every night.

Billy Graham was a cracker.

Did you also know he invented them to quell sexual desire?

He also thought ketchup/catsup would ruin your brain, but his ideas about natural food and exercise were ahead of his time.

GK filed a patent for his new sweet wafer, calling it a Graham Kerrker, but during patent processing, it got misspelled. Hence today’s Graham Cracker. Definitely not Fake News.
