It's either lemon or cherry (although when I was a kid the Wassam's drugstore had all different flavors of delicious icey stuff they called water ice...my favorite flavor was Blue).

I've seen it more flavors than that--depends a bit on where you're buying it. I've always liked watermelon flavor.

Ah crap. Jack 102.7 was my new favorite radio station this week. Until I found out it's a franchise and all contrived.

So you know how I said hexagon? Now pretend I said octagon.

...cause I'm just that dumb today.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Now pretend I said octagon.

That's a horse of a different, er, shape.

Okay, regardless of how you figure the area of the octagon and thus x (which I think I actually had done okay), the question is this -- the regular octagon with sides of length x is created by cutting the corners off a square with sides of length one centimeter. What formula (of the form ax*x + bx + c = 0) do you use to find x?

Enjoy what you enjoy, Wolfram! Resist the pressure to shun the commercial!

Hey Gus.

Why are people suddenly talking in code? It's confuuusing.

I want a lemon ice now. Or chocolate. In a paper cup from the window of a pizza place. In short, I want to go back to being six, when this was a major part of my summer routine.

Oh brenda, you're killing me here. Lemon ice. Want.

Frozen custard (brenda knows the joys of Kopps, I'm sure!). There's a place down the street from my apartment that's supposed to have good custard, and I've been very good about avoiding it so far. I'm thinking I might cave in this weekend.
