Ice Cream Flavors of the Rich & Famous

Summer... when most people think of it, they think beaches, tanned bodies, tank tops & bikinis...

When I think summer, I always go back to my younger days in the streets of Canuckland, playing catch, shooting hoops or whatever.. and just yearning for the sound of Mr. Softee.. (if you haven't heard it in a while, google it and let nostalgia prevail!)...

and as soon as the ice cream truck rolled into the neighbourhood, all of us would absolutely lose our minds, drop whatever we were doing and run behind the ice cream truck screaming at the top of our lungs.. "ICE CREAM MAN!!!"..... No comedian has ever described this situation better than Eddie Murphy in Delirous.. (again, if you haven't heard it, youtube it and prepare for the lulz)..

As the summer heats up once again in So Cal, the Canuckian makes his ritual beeline for the Ice cream stores, and lines up behind the teenage girls all of who struggle to decide which ice cream they want, and proceed to sample a dozen flavors each before they finally arrive at a conclusion... "a triple scoop with brownies & bits and chocolate fudge, no whipped cream please Its gonna go straight to my thighs!" Yep, exactly the same as heading to McPukes and ordering a triple Big Mac with Bacon, and Diet Coke!

As I stand in line, waiting for this exact scenario to unfold every time, I always marvel at the wit behind the names.. .names like Cherry Garcia, Bohemian Raspberry, Mission to Marzipan etc... I love them..

I came up this post the other day pondering Ice cream flavors to describe the political climate of today.. Task in hand, I've decided to honor this blog with a list of the favorite ice cream flavors of the Rich & Famous (as thought up by the Canuck Engineer!):

  • Obama's Campaign: "Yes Pecan!"
  • Tim Geithner: "Cash for Chocolate Chunkers"
  • Bernanke: "Housing Bubble Gum"
  • Kanye West: "George Bush doesn't care about Black Cherry"
  • Tony Blair: "History will be my Fudge"
  • Chris Brown: "Chocolate Rihanna Batter" (Too soon?)

That's all I got for today.... besides, write any longer, and I'd have to settle for a Shake Formerly known as my Ice Cream Sundae!

When you really think of it, [url=http://muachungdeal.com/thoi-trang.html]Thoi trang nam[/url] is something that can have a tremendous impact depending on the circumstance. Like so many other things, you have to analyze what you are dealing with and weigh them against each other. It is not hard to learn more about this, and you can potentially save yourself some hassles by doing so. It is only soon after looking at all that is on the table will you be in a strong position to make your move. What follows next are a few matters about this topic that you will want to know so you can pick the best options.

The general complexities of men's and women's fashion

Both men and women can feel the difficulties of maintaining their clothing up-to-date and in time, yet men's fashion frequently feels a lot less difficult. Of course, for both genders, garments and style options may be equally as elaborate, and there are many'fashionable'things that could rapidly become fashion faux pas - who is able to say they often times see people travelling in 70s flames? On the other side, men's fashion includes a few staple things that can exist forever - which man is planning to keep an eye out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for instance? Choose classic pieces, colors and fabrics and you'll never look out-of-place.

Why basic men's style is amazing

The basic man's suit has barely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are numerous varieties for various situations, nevertheless they are all popular in their search for a smart, sharp look for the person. The good thing about basic fashion for men is that it is simply trendy efficiently neat. A well-groomed lady can almost always look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this is a testament to the design of such apparel. A suit will be used to work in several occupations because of the professional search it offers to the person, instilling a feeling of respect and confidence. Similarly a match will undoubtedly be used to several social events, such as a tuxedo to a black-tie event. This extraordinary versatility which allows suits to be worn in just about all functions is what gives it its eternal side and a permanent place in men's fashion.

Contemporary developments in traditional men's style

Though basic men's styles can never be replaced, it is interesting to remember that shifts in men's fashion trends have produced certain traditional garments back in fashion. The acceptance of vintage clothing, especially, has brought back a wide-variety of basic styles into men's wardrobes, such as that of the dandy man. 'Dandy'is a term used to reference men who dress in a classic yet expensive way, operating in a polished approach and placing value on appearance. This development for almost'over-the-top'traditional fashion for men is apparent from events like the'Tweed Run', where men and women of all ages dress yourself in notably Victorian-style outfit and take to the roads on vintage bicycles - with lots of the men wearing perfect mustaches! That is just one single of many examples of evidence presenting the revival of such variations. There are also numerous blogs on line which focus on gentlemanly type - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as complete sites such as'The Art of Manliness'focused on giving articles on classic men's fashion and grooming.

In summary, whilst specific areas of common men's fashion can be cut back as new movements, the simple outfits which they are derived from will never slip out of fashion.
