    Hello, Dave! And what is ^^^^?

    Mess has multiple meanings (1) a dirty or untidy state of things or of
    a place. (2) a situation or state of affairs that is confused or full
    of difficulties, (3) a portion of semisolid or pulpy food, especially
    one that looks unappetizing. Military dining facilities are known as
    "Mess Halls".

    ... Klingon sons! You killed my bastard! No, wait
    Who is Mr^^^^^^^?

    Developed by screenwriter Gene L. Coon in 1967 for the original Star
    Trek (TOS) series, Klingons were swarthy humanoids characterized by
    prideful ruthlessness and brutality. Klingons practiced feudalism and authoritarianism, with a warrior caste relying on slave labor.

    Good time for You, Dave! And what is ^^^^^^^?

    Tires on pavement make a sound called a "screech" when pushed past their linmits od adhesion by acceleration, deceleration (braking) or side
    loads from fost cornering. the tagline was meant to be humourous since
    tires will not "screech" on any sirface not solid pavement.

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Klingons *
    Categories: Candies, Nuts, Chocolate, Snacks, Grains
    Yield: 32 Servings

    4 1/2 c Miniature marshmallows
    1/2 c Crunchy peanut butter
    1/4 c Butter
    3 1/2 c Rice Chex(or similar cereal)
    3 1/2 c Corn Chex
    1/2 c M&M's

    Grease a 13" X 9" X 2" baking pan, set aside.

    In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of the marshmallows,
    peanut butter and butter.

    Microwave on high for 2 minutes or until melted.

    Stir until smooth.

    Add the remaining marshmallows, Rice Chex, Corn Chex
    and the M&M's.

    To serve, pull apart and enjoy.

    Refrigerate any leftovers (yeah, right) in an airtight
    container.

    * Why are these called Klingons? Maybe because they're
    sticky. Maybe because they are the dessert of choice on
    Federation Starships. Either way, this is great to serve
    at your next Star Trek Convention.
