There's a local place that sells subs and ice cream, and at least one of their locations used to have a "dare" flavor of ice cream each month...some bizarre concoction. Unfortunately, I can't remember any of them specifically - let's say they gave some of the more bizarre Jones Soda flavors a run for the...uh, bucket. However, several years ago, some friends and I drove through Gilroy, California, which promotes itself as the garlic capital of the world. There was a place there selling garlic ice cream.

Also, on the subject of "Go The Tigers": what's really annoying is the trend in sports names over the last 15, 20 years of using abstract nouns or even singular nouns as the team name - the Miami Heat, the Chicago Fire, etc. Worse yet, there's a minor league baseball team (I think I have the sport right) in Madison called "The Madison Black Wolf" - yes, collectively, the team is one enormous wolf.

This seems to change with each new version. For a long time all the numbers were alphabetically before "A", and used the above numbering convention. More recent versions have had the A's first and treated the numbers as "whole" numbers, but it seems to flicker back to older ways occasionally. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 18:14:34 -0800 From: Rex Subject: Re: on not inhaling On Jan 30, 2008 5:34 PM, Carrie Galbraith wrote: > On Jan 30, 2008, at 4:56 PM, 2fs wrote: > > > > I can understand not particularly caring for ice cream...but how > > does one > > actively dislike it?
