The Howdygram’s latest healthy breakfast recommendations and other Saturday news.

Sam and I had a truly wonderful Saturday, highlighted by a gem on Turner Classic Movies. We watched The Lone Ranger (1956) in glorious Technicolor with Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels fighting a gang of seriously nasty scoundrels in the wild west. This was a predictable, corny and hilariously entertaining film, right down to the classic ending — “who was that masked man?” — delivered by Bonita Granville (pictured at right) as the sexually-frustrated wife of a really snotty rancher. A portrait of the Lone Ranger and Tonto, who easily qualify for GQ’s best-dressed list, and a video clip of the original movie trailer appear below for your possible interest.

I also did some online shopping today and ordered a variety of essential yet affordable crap from Amazon, all of which will be delivered next week. I’d specifically like to call your attention to the stylus pen that appears in the image below ... a highly useful device and an intelligent investment because I’m having a little trouble adjusting to all the touchy-feely baloney required with our new iPad. Amazon sells a pack of three stylus pens for $1.46 — with free shipping and no sales tax — so I figure it’s worth a shot.

In case you’re looking for a couple of new healthy breakfast options, the Howdygram is pleased to introduce Vodka 360’s GLAZED DONUT VODKA and Taco Bell’s MTN DEW A.M., a hybrid and potentially lethal redneck cocktail of Mountain Dew and orange juice that’s available in their restaurants until 11 a.m.

Incidentally, a shot of Glazed Donut Vodka will only set you back 80 calories — as opposed to 250 or more for an actual glazed donut — and gets you plastered as an added bonus. This is an excellent way to start the day, cut back on sugar, show up at work happy as hell and save money at the same time. L’chiam, y’all, and thank you for reading this!
