Man, now I want one of those banana-fudge bon pops. Those things kick ass.
At our old place in Greenpoint, there was an ice cream truck that would drive around with a boombox in the window blasting top 40 pop songs. Not okay.

No lie:

As a kid, I used to hurl fruit from my apartment at the Softee driver. One time I came -this- close to planting him in the grill with an orange. He was kind of a dick. I guess my antics didn’t help, either.

You think that’s bad? My friend lived in a really shady part of South Baltimore when we were in college. The local ice cream truck didn’t play a song. It blasted a car alarm!!

I guess the only way to alert inner-city kids is to blare: “WOOOOOP WOOOOOOOP! WOOOOOOOOOP! NEEEEEERK NEEEEEERK NEEEEEERK NEEEEEEERK MEEEE MOW MEEEEEE MOW!”

*sighs* oh, the sounds of summer.

I live across from a school with basketball courts that are always filled with kids in the Summer. The Mr. Softee truck just circles the block for hours. Last Summer I would find myself humming the song at work. Anyone have a spare RPG sitting around? I’m going to need it pretty soon.

I like Kool Man.

The jingle is “Do Your Balls Hang Low.”

Mr. Softee drives me batshit crazy. There are no words to describe my utter contempt for that torturous jingle. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, Lopez and Rosati step in an allow jerks to remix the soundtrack to hell culminating in a party in Williamsburg (a place where the avg time lived in NYC less than 2 years.) This sounds about as fun as letting an autistic shave your balls with a straight razor.
