Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

The original Steve's was in Davis Square. Apparently Herrell's is still good (Steve Herrell was the founder, who sold off his first name along with Steve's Ice Cream).

Mmm. We have a Herrell's in Northampton. We also got a Cold Stone recently, but I've never been there, for I am in love with Herrell's. (Although the best ice cream ever is from Bart's, another local ice cream place: Black Tiger. Kahlua ice cream with dark chocolate chunks and, hmm, maybe something else? Must seek out a pint this weekend to refresh my memory.)

Jesse is me w/r/t Raquel and Raq.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

PBS was airing a special about ice cream the other night-- maybe it was just my PBS. Did no one else see it?

Dippin' Dots: The Ice Cream of the Future. Or at least, that's what they were saying in 1994, before it became clear that IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO IMPROVE ICE CREAM.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think there's a vending machine with Dipping Dots at the movie theater. i may have some when I go see the penguin movie on Sunday. To be, like, thematic. Or something.

I don't have a favorite ice cream. Unless it's the one I'm having right now. When I'm having ice cream. Which I am not, at the moment. So, no favorite.

Thrive to spite them

I love Cold Stone Creamery. For a work birthday party we got a Red Velvet ice cream cake -- red velvet cake, cake batter ice cream, yummy frosting and pecans. Very yummy.

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

They sell Dippin' Dots at Shea Stadium in a cup shaped like a Mets batting helmet.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I've never had a Dippin' Dot, but truthfully, I'm not feeling the lack.

Are you ready to be strong?

My favorite ice creams come from the City Bakery. Best flavors:

  • molasses
  • beer & peanut
  • salt & pepper (unfortunately this one never made it out of beta)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I like salt & pepper squid. That'd probably make a bad ice cream flavor, though, as squid is too chewy.

What is even happening?

Rio, those aren't ice cream flavors. Okay, maybe the molasses.

Has anyone ever had lobster ice cream? I haven't, I have only heard of it. I love lobster. I love ice cream. Together? They appeal less, somehow.

hip deep in pie

Okay, squid ice cream is the grossest thing ever.

Worse even than toe-jam ice cream.
