My Reese's Puffs DJ Name Mixer

blog 003

So I eat Reese's Puffs cereal and on the back was the info on how to get my DJ Name Mixer which was an opportunity I just could not pass up.  There are actually two ways to create your own DJ name:

1.  Take the street you grew up on and the name of your first pet, then change all the "i's" to "y's"!

2.  Take the name of your favorite movie or Superhero villain, then add the first letter of your middle name!

So Option 1 for me resulted in this name:

 

Kyle Cyrcle Fonzye

Say whaaattt????  On to option 2.

Option 2:  I couldn't think of my favorite villain or Superhero.  I kept think of Cruella Deville but that really isn't my favorite.  It's just all I could think of.  I am not sure how awesome my Option 1 name is but that's all I've got to work with.  So from now on please refer to me as Kyle Cyrcle Fonzye otherwise I may not answer.

They (and by they I mean the folks at Reese's Puffs Cereal) also offered me a chance to make "My Reese's Puffs Rap" and of course I had to do that as well.  Feel free to add a bebop beat behind these amazing lyrics.

That peanut butter chocolate I must possess

Is the combo that I savor that I will address

Reese's Puffs, Reese's Puffs, in your bowl, in your bowl!

Recognize the taste that I craver

Reese's Puffs, Reese's Puffs

Wow peanut butter chocolate flavor

So crucial to my chomping vernacular

That peanut butter hookup is oh so spectacular

Reese's Puffs, Reese's Puffs

My Reese's Puffs are l-l-lyrical

Each peanut butter orb is oh so spherical

Reese's Puffs, Reese's Puffs, in your bowl, in your bowl!

But WAIT!!  There's more...

I then used my online code to unlock some AMAZING stuff!

After I went to reesespuffs.com and entered in my now not so secret code I received the following message:

Congrats!

You just unlocked THE MOTORCYCLE DANCE AND THE GUITAR LEG FLAIR MOVE.  This means you are one of the few who can do these special

Close X

So I think there was supposed to be more to the message but that's all I got. So this is DJ Kyle Cyrcle Fonzye signing off until next time!

Graceland!

After enjoying breakfast at The Blue Plate Cafe and enjoying the Duck Parade at The Peabody we were headed to see and tour Graceland.  Our hotel package was called the "Elvis package" and included the Graceland Platinum Tour, includes admission to: Graceland Mansion, airplanes, Automobile Museum, Sincerely Elvis Museum, and Elvis After Dark.  It also included an Elvis Presley Celebriduck™ and we will treasure it always. ;)

The parking and museums are to the right and the actual mansion is to the left.  All I can say is WOW!  We are not huge Elvis fans by any stretch of the imagination and we were there for over 4 hours!  We were even rushing through the last bit because we were so tired.  As you can imagine you can buy anything and everything Elvis there. 

Because we checked in using our iPhones, we got an extra treat.  These two amazing stickers.  The nice lady let us know if we had checked in using four-square we would have received a poster.

I know you're jealous but try to control yourself.  So we traded in our voucher for our tour and museum tickets.

We had a photo op right off the bat!  You gotta love that for sure!

So we got our tickets, our headphones and got on the bus to head across the street to tour the house.

Graceland is a National Historic Landmark in case you didn't know.

I looked up at the wrought iron chandelier and there appears to be a birds nest there.

So we enter the home and we immediately see the living room with it's massive white couch.  We also were treated to a view of the dining room and one of the bedrooms.

We also were able to see the tv room, the famous jungle room and the kitchen to name a few more.

You gotta love this sign.  I may make one for my job.

So there was still lots more to see. 

Now I don't know if you would necessarily say it's the "highlight" of the tour but I think a lot of folks go to primarily pay their respects at the gravesite.

We got back on the bus and headed back across the street to tour the museums and go through all the shops.  Here's M signing the guest registry.

I am still wondering if I was somehow, inadvertently caught on tape...I hope I wasn't embarrassing myself.

Tons of cars to look at in the car museum.

Here's what I ate while at Graceland.  Let me just say it was...alright.

Elvis also had some planes and those were on display as well. 

Of course this one was my favorite.  Bet you can't guess why.

We had a super fun time and spent a lot more time there than I thought we would.  If you're going near Memphis, you need to stop by.
