That’s a lot of ice cream

May 18, 2002 – permalink

A new Dairy Queen opened up in my area recently. I hadn’t really been to one since I was younger, so I’ve tried it a few times. I don’t know if they’ve changed their methods, but the ice cream doesn’t taste like I remember. Each of the few times I’ve gone I always end up thinking I should’ve just walked on by.

I felt sorry for one guy today though. They had him dressed up as a giant soft-serve cone. I tall desserty-type of guy with big shoes and an ice cream-eating grin. The sort of thing you’d expect if Disney was run by dairy farmers.

Actually, I guess that’s not as bad as the Hershey theme park where employees have to go around dressed as chocolate bars and Kisses.

A mouse in pants is one thing. I just don’t want to make conversation with my food.

Darva Who?

I hear that Darva Conger will be boxing Olga Korbut in the next round of Fox’s Celebrity Boxing.

a) Darva: Your fifteen minutes are up, please go away. b) I thought she wanted to regain her privacy. Perhaps the Playboy spread didn’t help…

…and so we begin.

Evans Above: A little area for me to ramble on and ponder things that don’t really fit in the headline news area of the site.

Sometimes it’ll be site news like “There’s a new section called Evans Above on the site.” (How’s that for a circular reference.)

Sometimes it’ll be observations about the world…both the real one and the entertainment one.

Sometimes it’ll be about nothing.

Should be fun…
