Also, what makes you think the choice of a Weinhard's would be less stand-offish than a Heine? I think you need to find something left of Michelob Dark, if you get my drift...

Slvrdragon -- that just goes to show you how long I have gone without cookies of any sort. Atkin's-impaired am I.

For some reason the scenario reminds me of Pleasantville. *ponders*

It is also a tad Chocolat-y...the movie, not the book...in that the protagonist is able to tell everyone's favorites. I'd love to see that fleshed out Bob...I double dare ya!

Toppings: sprinkles are OK, but unless I'm in the mood for great quantities of sugar, no toppings.

Liquid Nitrogen cold, but since it doesn't have enough time to truly fully freeze, it's texture is a little melty.

Hey, Bob, are you still doing personality profiles? Here's me:

Fresh whipped cream (REAL, with a touch of vanilla), and a cherry

Consistancy? ultra-thick milkshake. I'm talking stick a spoon in it and it stands straight up, but you use a straw anyway. (:

As for what to serve it in, I love the old fountain-style tall glasses. Also, there should be more made than will fit into the glass, and I want the remainder in the steel tumbler they made it in on the side!

quote:

---

Real strawberry ice cream, as we've seen before, is the flavor of true romantics. Your purist tendencies (only wanting it made with fresh strawberries, cream and sugar) indicate a rather strict interpretation of romance. It is the guy's responsibility to woo the woman. The woman's "job" is to keep the man coming back for more. The chase is everything!

---

quote:

---

A preference for real whipped cream and a single cherry indicates a desire for a mate who compliments you in all ways, but yet has a certain something extra to offer. The ideal partner in life will be someone who can provide some finishing touches to your personality, but also has some existence above and beyond that which makes you better. You enjoy your independence and want someone who both reflects well on you and is attractive in their own right.

---

quote:

---

The preference for extrememly thick "milk shakes" and the use of a straw indicates a very contrarian nature. You like to do things your own way. You always do a great job, but you resent any sort of intrusion or unwanted instruction.

---

quote:

---

Your choice of a traditional fountain glass and the desire for extra on the side indicates a profound disatisfaction with rules. You can play the games required of you and adept at handling yourself in most social settings but you see beyond it all. To you, every situation is to be seen as an opportunity and you are there to extract as much from it as you can.

---

Vanilla, very good quality, preferably with flecks of vanilla bean in it.

Topping: Butterscotch sauce. Some real whipped cream is good, too, but can be optional (I don't like that fake whipped cream).

I eat it slowly, soft enough so it's smooth and creamy, but not melty. I usually eat this concoction in a bowl, but I happen to love sugar cones (the cookie type of cone - I can't stand the melt-in-your-mouth wafer cones).

quote:

---

You profess not to have a favorite, but then you reveal your true self by selecting premium vanilla with flecks of vanilla bean. This is the flavor of those who are very sure of themselves and their place in the cosmos. You are exactly what you seem, but there is still some hidden depth to be discovered by those who become really close to you. You do not like games, but are especially hard on yourself regarding this. You live a fully examined life.

---

quote:

---

Your topping preference for butterscotch indicates that your relationships are often deep and very spiritual. You bring something "different" to the table and most people recognize it right away. You feel most comfortable with people that you can really get to know, but you are gregarious enough that you make friends easily even with people you've just met. The choice of your closest friends and your spouse is a somewhat different matter. Sure, you look for a deep and all-consuming relationship, but you don't want to be surrounded with clones of yourself. You challenge those around you to be THEIR OWN best person.

---

quote:

---

A preference for bowls or perhaps a sugar cone shows a dichotomy in your working life. You enjoy what you do, no doubt, but your true passion is somewhere else. You just haven't figured out how to make it pay the bills. Being who you are, you actually overcompensate in your regular job and go way overboard in taking on duties and caring deeply for it, partly out of guilt because you fear that because you'd rather be doing something else, you JUST MIGHT not do your best. SO you do your best and then some.

You can't eat ice cream anymore???? Do you feel your personality destabilizing???

j/k

quote:

---

French vanilla has been covered before, but briefly it is the flavor of those who are traditionalists in an old-world sort of way. You may feel a bit of a misfit in your home town, but your values and mannerisms would fit right in elsewhere. You don't put on pretenses, but many in your immediate surroundings take you for an elitist. You do have a healthy sense of your own intellectual superiority. And you like people who have a touch of class.

---

quote:

---

Your toppings choices (hot fudge, rainbow sprinkles, peanuts, whipped cream and 2 cherries) indicate that you have many, many friends from a wide array of backgrounds. You keep your friends seperate -- like you fit into many "cliques" but they don't mutually mix very well. Though few of them are close, you do have room in your heart for a select core. Your ideal mate will have an outgoing nature and will be the one person who truly knows you.

---

quote:

---

Your choice of partially melted ice cream indicates an aversion to conflict. You are the peacemaker in so many situations and people admire you for it.

---

quote:

---

The choice of a tall sundae glass indicates that you enjoy a traditional work environment. You work best within a clearly defined structure and prefer a well-organized team to the chaos of a flat organizational structure where everyone is their own boss. You excel at organizing and planning although you probably think of yourself as somewhat disorganized. This is a trait that will get you over many an obstacle in life.

---

The second, probably more frequent dish is plain strawberry. I always get this if I'm getting a cone. I also buy this more frequently. Preferably a brand that has large genuine strawberry chunks in it. I eat the genuine strawberry chunks first if possible. The store brands that don't use real strawberries (100% artifical flavor) which I would only eat out of desparation generally have too much artifical flavor and taste waxy, with a faint aftertaste of the beet juice they use for coloring.

quote:

---

Ah...you have given me two views of yourself, but they are essentially the same. Neither "you" is complete without the other.

Okay, the first you is the sensible, traditionalist. In this mode, you display a very refined sense of style and decorum. This is the public you. And this "you" wants nothing more than a truly considerate mate who is willing to just smother you in style and comfort. Not that this is a "mercenary" type of love. No, you just enjoy being pampered, that's all.

The other "you" is the dyed-in-the-wool romantic. And you have definite ideas about what counts as romance. You are willing to give your all in a lifelong committment to true love.

---

quote:

---

You have a tendency to lose yourself in relationships. So much so that if one ends, you have a hard time unraveling yourself from the "us" that is no more. You can't understand things like marital discord -- it's like fighting with yourself and you just can't figure it out. You sometimes wear your heart on your sleeve but remarkably you still don't hold back. People value this in you and look up to you for it.

---

quote:

---

In your working life, you like to take charge and be sure that everything is finished just so. But you are sensitive enough to other's needs that you will often take a back seat and let others get the glory. Fortunately, few are fooled by this. They can tell when you've had your hand in a project because the end result is always top drawer. You are looked upon as a great builder of talent in any organization.

Here's a clincher -

what would a person with say MPD or a dissociative disorder of some type look like in these "readings"?

I was cleaning up the office on Friday and came across an old psych book . . . would each personality have a distinct flavor do you suppose or would there be no ability to choose . . .

If ice cream preference is a product of the conscious mind, which I assert it is NOT, then I would expect that such a person might vascillate between favorites, all the while acknowledging only ONE favorite.

An inability to choose is not a sign of any deep seated personality disorder by any means. I think it is a sign of someone more in touch with their duality than most of us.

I mean, what is a complexly mixed "flavor" than just a few flavors inextricably tied...

As for the rest of you. Patient or not, you will (sadly) have to wait until I return from my trip to Minnesota. This is for two very important reasons:
1) Online time is very limited by the hotel's phone charges, and

2) It is so fricken' cold here that if I even try to think about ice cream, my brain freezes.

Okay - granted, if there were one over-arching personality (is that the one they so charmingly labeled "inside out" MPD?) that keeps track of/communicates with all the rest . . . don't you think it would be in control enough to have a favorite whereas in the classic say "Eve" or "Sybil" case, there would be different favorites depending on the self in charge? But without any knowledge of the others - prior to a lot of treatment, of course. But then what would happen to the personality that finally got put back together into one - merged, right? I knew I should've paid more attention in this class . . .

<--*Isn't actually that impatient and hopes Bob has a good time*

You been reading my diary?

Other than that you nailed the last two paragraphs pretty good. I wouldn't know about relationships ending because I've only had one bf though. I'm going to have him read it and see what he thinks!

58 profiles done. A VERY dedicated worker, Mr Scopatz is... but ... aren't you back from Minnesota YET?

quote:

---

So, am I the only one that thinks Bob is just analyzing our posts and making up the ice-cream part?

---

You're giving me way too much credit. I rarely pay attention to what anyone else posts here on Hatrack, let alone who it is that was saying it.

Anyway, I AM making it all up. I'm having to re-read what I said about flavors and toppings in the past so I remain somewhat consistent, but otherwise each profile is created de novo especially for the submitting person.

And they are all made up, off the cuff. They contain no real substance or link to reality whatsoever.

So...remember...don't rearrange you life based on what I say in this (or any other) thread.

On the other hand, if you were told that you have a sense of style and decorum, but you don't quite agree with that, you may want to consider that this profile could be capturing something in your future. Perhaps after you take those executive finishing courses you've been thinking about? Or learn to "dress for success?"

Flavor-Cookie Dough

Toppings-Gummy worms, cookie bits, fudge, fudge syrup, that hard-shell stuff, peanut butter, or a combination of everything above

State-Frozen at first, but allowed to melt over time

I like double ice creams, served on a bowl so there is room for maneuver. Rose petals and cucumber are my favourites. The Rose ice cream with no topings, fresh and made with fragrant home grown non-altered or fumigated flowers. The cucumber ice cream I like topped with some powdered chilli and a bit of extra salt.
