Title: The ice cream gods have blessed me
Post by: thestory on March 10, 2010, 03:50:29 AM
I rarely eat sweets but I came home the other day and popped open the garage freezer and this is what I found....

Dreyer's?  Is that like a knockoff of Breyer's?  And where did all that come from?  Ice cream is my weakness :(.

My mother saw them on sale and since we have a bunch of company coming over for a while I guess she decided to go nuts. And I dunno if its supposed to be a knock off or is actually a last name that is just similar.

It's making me want to go out and buy ice cream.  Where (generally) do you live?  On closer examination it looks like the flavors are the exact same as what we have on the East Coast USA as Edy's... Slow Churned/Grand in those fonts and so on.

I live in California. Makes sense you live on the east cost since you haven't heard of Dreyers.

In the Midwest Dreyer's is called Edy's.  Same product, different name.  No idea why, but maybe it has another name on the East Coast?   Edit:  Never mind, I see you've already made that connection.

And Kamren - That's an impressive ice-cream stash.  And I thought my mom bought a lot of ice-cream!  :D

The Emperor of Ice-Cream

Call the roller of big cigars,
The muscular one, and bid him whip
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
As they are used to wear, and let the boys
Bring flowers in last month's newspapers.
Let be be finale of seem.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

Take from the dresser of deal.
Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet
On which she embroidered fantails once
And spread it so as to cover her face.
If her horny feet protrude, they come
To show how cold she is, and dumb.
Let the lamp affix its beam.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

I really want to dig into the thin mint one... since girl scouts have become so expensive.
Curse your delicious cookies and little sweet faces! I shake my fist at you!

Junior mince...is that what femmy gay boys do before they become femmy gay men? (To stereotype awfully...)

Trader Joe's has a coffee ice cream that is pretty fab, but I love honey vanilla and rarely get it.

Thanks lisagirl
I love that poem

I think steven king used some of it in one of his books but I cannot remember it- or even the context, I remember liking it, and looking it up, but I have now lost the file. To me it is a very disturbing poem, again I don't know why.
Funny thoughts, thank you

Hugs
Cindy

QuoteTo me it is a very disturbing poem

The poem by Wallace Stevens is about a wake and the body in the bedroom as the Ice cream man flirts with the servant girls.

Thanks, I didn't know the author. I traced my records; Steven King used it Salem's Lot. Still one of the scary books.
Still a scary poem.

Thank you
