Carvel Ice Cream

[servermonkey]

Oh yeah, I mentioned a TV show about ice cream in passing, but forgot to mention something I'd learned about Rachel. She did not know what Cookie Puss was. She knew of Fudgie the Whale--neither of us had ever seen the costume, it was weird looking.

I did not, however, know that Dairy Queen's Blizzard was spawned in the 1980s, and I never noticed the little curly Q on DQ ice cream cones--a DQ trademark, apparently.

Facts. If you don't have facts, you're. . .well, you know.

What I didn't know: Tom Carvel was a made-up character. There wasn't any "real" Tom Carvel. Weirdness.

Wow. That IS weird. I must have missed that bit of it. Guess it's like KFC, not really from Kentucky, sort of.

However Colonel Sanders was a real Kentucky Colonel, which is some sort of honorarium, kinda like becoming famous and having your university bestow an honorary doctorate or such like. And Lemuel Sanders was the real founder of KFC.

They sure would love to get that word "fried" outta their name about now though, wouldn't they?

Ah well, that is true. Not a fitting comparison at alll. What is it with the KFC Fried food denial? Kitchen Fresh Chicken? No, don't think so.

Fact...John Mellancamp lives in my town.:) Another fact: I work at an ice cream store. It's been in business for over 20 years. We have cyclones (same thing as a DQ blizzard). A third fact: John Mellancamp sometimes comes to Jiffy Treet (where I work) and last Friday I waited on him. He's quite nice, but a lot shorter than you would think.:)

Groovy. So he's a down to earth type of guy, huh?

That was pretty funny, Rachel and I were quite entertained by it.

Re: random tv shows

[mineral777.livejournal.com]

1. Hey mikey
2. It wasn't me
3. I would do anything for love but I won't do that
4. the only thing tht looks good on me is you
5. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
6. Red white and blue
7. Rubben studdard should have been much higher and lal of his songs should be on there because he sucks.

songs which should not have been on the list
1. We didn't start the fire
2. Breakfast at Tiffany's

Yeah, I don't think Crash Test Dummies should have been on there, and there are far worse songs than Deep Blue Something. I mean, Tiffany's reworking of I Saw Her Standing There was nigh blasphemous.

Oddly enough, I have a soft spot for We Built This City, as horrible as it was. Heart of Rock and Roll, too.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM was just bad but I love the crash test dummies they are wonderful the US was just no ready for a basslead singer

Re: random tv shows

[servermonkey.livejournal.com]

Re: random tv shows

[servermonkey.livejournal.com]

A partial list:

We Didn't Start the Fire
Rollin'
MMM, MMM, MMM, MMM
The Final Countdown
Broken Wings--too many people misunderstand that song, really.
