Well, I generally have prepared in advance a little "fruit cocktail"
that I give the guys each morning for breakfast so I'll be taking along
some of that.  The sponge idea would definitely not be a good idea with
these guys.  Aside from just destroying it and making a mess, I'd be
worried about Randy actually trying to eat it.  He can be such a little
stinker.  ;-)
