I bet ice cream trucks are just a myth invented by a conspiracy in the frozen dessert industry in order to take over the market.

If your neighborhood has never been invaded for an afternoon by one of these creatures you are very lucky indeed.

And it's always on the one day when it finally cools down (or warms up) enough to turn off the A/C (or heat) and throw open the windows and air out the place. You settle in to enjoy a book or some telly or maybe catch a nap with a lovely fresh breeze lapping softly at your curtains, and then...

and then...

AND THEN:



If it would just drive by and continue on out of earshot it wouldn't be so bad. BUT IT PARKS RIGHT THERE.

Because that would be awesome.
I hear ya. I especially want a strike mounted against the one that blares the theme song from The Sting, over and over and over and over and over....

I was lucky enough to live in a neighborhood that didn't have a lot of kids. The ice cream truck didn't see a lot of business there. Now, knowing the way my words sometimes jinx things... I would suspect that that neighborhood is about to be overrun by quintuplet families. I am so sorry, old quiet neighborhood.

Too slow, Schro.

A brig wall? I don't think being slow on the draw is an offense worthy of incarceration.




Unless, you know, you're into that.

Nah, Schroeder has committed enough crimes against humanity to be thrown into the brig (If the guillotine isn't an option, that is).

I always thought he was there to rescue all the bicycles menaced by international communism.
