So the other night I had a MSN chat with a friend. Somehow, during the chat we came upon the topic of ice cream.
Peter says:
In the summer, this retired Greek guy who lives down the street from me drives around the neighbourhood in his killer ice cream truck. He always parks in front of my house with his bell ringing. His blueberry sundaes are like crack.
Plant Lass says:
I haven't seen an ice cream truck since I was a kid. You are very lucky.
Peter says:
No, I am damned. He's got two. His son drives the other. I saw them stocking and cleaning them in front of their specially built garages the other day. That means the season is about to start.
Plant Lass says:
Two trucks! That would involve the kind of self-control I just don't have.
Peter says:
These are primo trucks. He does banana splits, sundaes, slushies, chocolate dip and caramel dip. Not to mention soft serve and regular.
Peter says:
It's nuts.
Peter says:
Every night around 7pm he is parked in front of my house.
Plant Lass says:
Do you think they are doing this to you on purpose?
Peter says:
He knows. I know he knows. It's the easiest $2.50 he makes in his night.
Peter says:
He warms the blueberry topping.
Plant Lass says:
You are making me miss Sioux Lookout. I didn't think that was possible.
Peter says:
He also does milkshakes. All from the back of that devil truck.
Plant Lass says:
It's not the truck. It's your ice cream junkie ways... maybe you need help.
Peter says:
Possibly, but addiction is a disease.
Plant Lass says:
And there is no patch for soft serve. I say indulge.
Peter says:
Now there's an idea; a soft serve patch. Although, all I would really need are cotton balls to keep the devil song of the ice cream bell from reaching my ears.
Plant Lass says:
Do you really want to quit though? All this planning could be for nothing if there is no will.
Plant Lass says:
What is so wrong with a milkshake?
Peter says:
You can only say that because you haven't laid eyes on an ice cream truck in years. It would be a different story if they were stalking you.

Peter, you really need to just give in to the dark side.
:D
that was quite a funny exchange. nice!
Athena, what exactly is the dark side of ice cream?
Anonymous? I seem to know a lot of people with that name.
Okay... honestly the only dark side of ice cream comes from when you can't DIGEST it properly. Otherwise, it's amazing.
Eddie Murphy has a really funny take on the ice cream man in Delirious.
"You don't have no ice cream
You didn't get none
'cos you are under welfare, you can't afford it...."
and so on and stuff.... :D
