Still, no ice cream man. Even though he had verbally assured us he would be back and even drive up into our dead end street!
I told the Evil Twin, "Either he went on vacation to California and decided to stay or he got busted for selling pot off the back of the ice cream truck and the replacement does a different route."
I'm not really sure, but I have it on GOOD authority (you know who you are!) that the ice cream man has been up and down a street merely a few blocks away many times over the last few weeks.
I let my informant know which street we live on, so if this person does catch the ice cream man, this person can say, "Could you please, for the love of Pete, go to XXXX?"
Don't worry, the informant is not some loony just looking to pinpoint my location, this person is a co-worker of a VERY close friend of mine and my friend had already told me this person read my blog.
We could start wagering on whether or not we will see the Ice Cream man again this summer. Yea or Nay? Cast a vote.
If things don't shape up soon, I may be forced to borrow a friend's car, buy some Fudgesicles from Kroger and peddle them to my children myself (wearing a disguise of some sort, of course).
I can't decide if that just sucks really bad or is plain pathetic. Probably a bit of both.
Help a sister out, wouldya? Put out some good vibes that the ice cream man comes down from his California high and remembers our street! :-)
And now you have thinking about frozen concoctions.Hmm, margaritas...
ReplyDeleteIf he has any sense, he will return. Isn't he driving that ice cream truck to make money?
ReplyDeleteYou could always put a sign at the end of the street that says: "Hey, ice cream man, remember us?" with an arrow point down your street.
If you're doing a sign maybe you should put a picture of your cleavage on it and say, "Do you remember these?" I'll bet the truck makes it to your house then :)
ReplyDeleteOur ice cream guy comes by about 3 times a day. I'd send him your way, but I'm guessing it's a little out of his area.
ReplyDeleteYeah...do what Buzzardbilly said...but I have an addition...hang that picture of the girls from yesterday's post. You'll have every creepy person in the neighborhood come by (including the ice cream guy!)
ReplyDeleteWhat about putting a sign at the end of your street that says, "Icecream Man: Get Your Ass Down Here" and have an arrow pointing to your street. Ok, you could leave the ass part off, for the kids sake.
ReplyDeleteWhen my kids were young I was terrified that the Ice Cream Nazi would drive up our street. No way I ever would have wished for it... LOL
ReplyDeletei had an idea for an icecream truck... that also sold cocktails.. and beer.
ReplyDeletei applied for a licence and everyone in the office took turns kicking me in the buttocks. one guy had one of those orthopiedic shoes and it left a dent in my left cheek...
:(
We had an ice cream "girl" for one summer....then poof, she was gone totally...nowhere...on no streets....I remember the Helm's man from when i was a kid. Not ice cream, but yummy baked goods that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI'll take the wager and bet that Ice Cream man WILL get your way. What ya want to bet ;-) Enjoyed the post today. Take it easy and have a good week. Myrtle bound!
ReplyDeleteShiny Rod - I prefer my margaritas on the rocks - with salt and plenty of it! :-)
ReplyDeleteBB - He has been *thisclose* to our street. He really needs to get his act together.
Ron - LOL!
3C - Yep, I'm guessing the prices would be way inflated to cover the gas!
Warren - Yep and there are some weirdos around these parts!
SH - Maybe I should have the Evil Twin design something flashy?
SoLow - It gives me such a kick, though! LOL.
fattie20xl - I'd be happy to see your hooch mobile coming! :-)
rosemary - It seems like the ice cream truck is something going by the wayside, sort of like Drive-In theatres. Sad!
SA LeAnn - Thanks, chica! Have a great vacation! :-)
ReplyDeleteDammit Ron!
ReplyDeleteThats what I wanted to say!
ETW, the guys obviously gay or blind.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Maybe you need to get your own truck....only to visit the people that the other guy forgot about....I can see some profit there...and freebies for you :) ha ha!

p.s. Thank you for still stopping by my blog despite my complete slackness and weeks of absence :)
All I can say is, you have an ice cream man? Where we live.. that is the last thing I expect to see come down my road, not that it wouldn't have been nice during the 100 plus degree heat we had last month.
ReplyDeleteThere was one at Tamis's old house but the guy went speeding down the street so fast, you couldn't get out to the street in time to catch him. I think he really should of been a race car driver...good luck!

Way back when I was young (good grief), the ice cream trucks had regular routes - like clockwork. Locally, we have seen the truck twice. And that was skirting coming up our street. He would go the side streets - less residents and then disappear. My grandson is really frustrated - not much I can do, as these are totally independant drivers. I cannot even find a phone number for a "head company." So off to Kroger's to buy some ice cream.
ReplyDeleteLaughing because in 1967 my dad got busted for selling pot off the back of an ice cream truck.--Jenn
ReplyDeleteI just had to pipe in and say, "God bless Jenn's dad!" :)
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to know, ice cream or no ice cream?
Hey, how great would it be if the trolleys that drive by my house had ice cream on board? They already have the 'clang-clang-clang' bit down.
ReplyDeleteI hope against hope he comes back for Buddy and Sissy!
ReplyDeleteOH, ETW if I lived close, I would so steal and ice cream truck just to ride down the street and sell ice cream to your kids. I'm gonna see if Mr. Softee runs in your area.
ReplyDeleteMan that's just cruel. How can the ice cream man come a couple of times and then quit?
ReplyDeleteThank you SO MUCH for this post. I loved it. All i can say is you have an ice cream man....
