31,000 flavors.

What'll it be?

I also give free psychological consultations and personality readings a-la-Bob

Moose tracks please. I can't understand why more people don't like Moose Tracks.

A big scoop it is for peanut-buttery little Sarcastic Muppet, whom I shall never refer to as SM. Sweet and a bit nutty, she's everything you could hope for in a confection.

And don't forget those chocolate cups full of hidden goodness!

Could I have chocolate, with chocolate sauce, and crushed chocolate sprinkles?

And some lemonade to go with it?

Death by chocolate it is for Elaine.

*squeezes some fresh lemondae*

This is going to be fun to watch.

I like Moose Tracks too. Recently, however, I am a fan of Ben and Jerry's Phish Food.

I have been thinking of a flavor using my Hatrack name. Possum Paws? Might work. Scaley Tail? Never.

I've got the perfect idea-

One scoop of Whistlin' Roadkill for Possum.

(It's my own secret blend)

and a rambling irrelevant story to go with that:

Recently I was standing in line at Old Faithful Lodge in Yellowstone Park to get some of the "famous" overpriced ice cream. Most of their flavors are pretty prosaic standards - from strawberry to butter pecan - but they do have one innovative flavor: Grizzly Berry.
I was joking with my friends and told them I didn't reccommend the Grizzly Berry unless they really liked venison. It's not the stringy chunks that are so bad, but it's just the whole pseudo-pemmican flavor that throws me off.

My friend Abby noticed that an antsy tourist couple behind us were looking uneasy until a lady leaned over to them and whispered "She's kidding." [Smile]

Sorry - all we've got left are sporks.

It's a genuine Southern blend - pecan and a molasses ribbon with a hint of sweet tea and some nice chunks of cornbread, Possum.

Ok, Annie, tell me what flavor you recommend as a dessert for a frozen mexican style dinner? Now, be careful, this gourmet level stuff we are talking about here.

A frozen mexican dinner is best accompanied by (contrary to what the City Slickers connaisseurs would have you believe) really dark chocolate sorbet - Chocolate con Agua, that is - sprinkled with cinnamon and cayenne pepper.

*scoops up Kat's very gourmet choice. Sprinkles with cinnamon for good measure*

*serves up Ryan's coffee ice cream in a chocolate-dipped waffle bowl with chocolate covered coffee beans on the side*

I'd have to say this group has good taste. I have Phish Phood and Moose Tracks in my freezer right now, along with Mint Chocolate Cookie.

I think I'll have a scoop of something I can't get here. Got any Raspberry Cheese Louise?

Some super sinful drippy fudge brownine for Kayla.

No more for you, Possum - you have to drive home and I don't want to see you in the ditch covered in tire treads.

And some cheesy raspberry goodness for PSI - with some fresh raspberries on top.

Some fragola.

Plus a lump of mint chocolate chip, the flavor of my youth.

And a waffle cone.

Whoo! I'm four years old again! And in Italy!

Now Annie, dear. I want two scoops of dark, rich chocolate gelatto with splashes of Irish Creme and real whipped cream. Topped off by a nice green cherry. I think that we should call it a U2 Delight. (It's smooth with a blast of Irish flavor mixed in... kinda like their music.)

Oh... I forgot the slivers of almond topping. Can't forget the nuts [Big Grin] .

Sporks... they'll save the Universe ya know... along with a good roll of duct (duck) tape.

Some gelato for the bambino! *Bends way down to hand little Matt the cone*

And Larisse - that sounds like a killer combination. *feels strangely like a bartender* Here you go.

Even better than the real thing, isn't it?

Well see... bartending is a perfectly respectable virtual career choice. I've valued my days as a virtual bartendar for years. Heck... it's a good living in what they call the "real world".

Sorry I missed your late-night request, Ryuko - I must have fallen asleep on the job. Come back tonight and I'll get you some huckleberry sorbet.

*Dishes up some chocolate for oh-so-prosaic Chade*

Are you sure you don't want any cayenne pepper on that? Sure?

*Chocolate soda for Dan*
Yeah - I interned at Ghirardelli's.

*A scoop of dark chocolate with white chocolate chunks for Damien, a scoop of Creme du Menthe, in a pretty parfait dish garnished with fresh mint leaves*

And today's sample special - tangerine ginger sorbet!

Cayenne pepper with chocolate ice cream? Are we in Pakistan or something? I can't imagine a place where they would eat something like that.

Tonight I am in the mood for a double scoop of vanilla to go in a root beer float.

Chade, what are we going to do with you?!? Vanilla? (head in hands) Well, at least we have some "Wild Mexican Vanilla" made with pure sugar cane and local cream. But if you're going to mix it with root beer, I insist you take it outside first.

Maccabeus - I am all over Death by Chocolate. And I'll throw in some Belgian Chocolate Truffle for good measure. And here's the advice:
I reccommend getting your full daily allowance of pulp, thus preventing you from craving it elsewhwere. *Adds a crushed tangerine to chocolate ice cream* See - pulp in, no pulp out.
And breathe deeply.

(edit: I can conjugate verbs in English. I swear!)
