No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Can't help you there, although I feel like I have seen them somewhere...

I keep thing that my phone is vibrating in my purse when it is not in my purse.

Hello from Ireland on my last night. Of course, I have started getting a cold today. Almost made it a whole vacation without gettingg sick. At least it was the last day. I am sad to leave, but I'm looking forward to going home.

Whereas I have just arrived home! Or well, in Seattle. I am not quite home yet but am enjoying what I think is the fanciest bit of this business class ticket--a towncar ride home!

OK here is some evidence [link]

But she said, there is such a thing as too much butterfat, which she found out the hard way.

“Long before I got into making ice cream, I experimented a little bit at home. I tried to make my own chocolate ice cream,” she said. “It was basically like a frozen butter log. It was awful.”

As she learned, when there’s too much butterfat, it kind of coats the mouth and has a waxy feel, which as one can imagine, is not a pleasant ice cream experience.

I suspect it is a difference between butterfat and clearer fats -- too much is a flavor blocker rather than a flavor carrier. I heard about it as a kid when an ice cream chain called "Will Wrights" which had to change its recipe when too high a proportion of butterfat made them an unpopular brand.

When I say "I would need a demonstration" I mean, "Someone should give me some ice cream".

I'm also thinking the correct wine would work as well.

I think ice cream and wine might be two great things I don't want to taste together.

Because books.

Champagne ice cream could be intriguing. Or maybe sherbet?
