Sounds like it's not exactly Mr. Softee. I'll give it a try.

Maybe this means that they'll stay open past 10pm during the summer. Dare we hope?

It should be pointed out that they're serving soft serve ice cream at the location on Court Street. The workers on Underhill didn't seem to think we'd be getting it here anytime soon.

I love soft serve. What's all the fuss.

The fuss is that several summers ago a study wasdone that said soft serve had the biggest potential for bacteria growth as it was not kept in a cold enough temperature Many people got stomach illnesses from soft serve. and it wasnt only from trucks but in stores as well.

PERHAPS Blue Marble has figured a way around that

It is also necessary that we carry iodine around at all times, so that we can mitigate the effects of a dirty bomb. (sarcasm)

We can't live in fear.

We can enjoy soft ice cream

I know that was sarcasm, but I can't let it go. Unless the dirty bomb is dirty because it was a radioactive iodine bomb (unlikely, it would probably be cesium or something), iodine won't do anything to protect you. Iodine doesn't protect against radiation; it protects against radioactive iodine, which is produced by nuclear fission, from being incorporated into your thyroid. If a fission bomb goes off in NYC, iodine is the last thing you'll have to worry about, unless you're on a day trip quite far outside the city proper.

I am well aware of this, yet have a relative who carries iodine since the media-fed Indian Point Bombing scare. (the evil capitalist sees this a missed opportunity to play on people's fear, by offering them a worthless solution at huge mark-up. ...but I digress)

Back on topic: I will be eating soft ice cream when the big one hits. ...and until the big one hits as well.

jmd the only thing grosser than that is farmer's market bathtub cheese!
