Soft serve is the best ice cream, fight me
I say this as someone who hand makes ice cream every Thanksgiving & Christmas season. When the temperature is above 80F though, nothing beats DQ
And this is the unrivaled hands down best ice cream parlor on Planet Earth, end of discussion
Can you stroll into your favorite ice cream parlor and ask for the booth where Al Capone or the Beatles ate? Then STFU
Wilson's in Door County WI (since 1906) is a worthy runner up, and fueled by Wisconsin's mighty cows
Protip: when in Austin try Nau's Enfield Drug, a survivor old timey drug store soda fountain (and RIP Pearson's Drug Store in Iowa City)
Last but not least, the hot roddiest ice cream parlor in America, the iconic Nite Owl. Since 1948. 830 E. Layton Avenue, Milwaukee Wisconsin, my bosom hot rod buddy @ropekechris proprietor. Tell 'em Dave sent you

How long is it still cool to shoplift $999 of merchandise in California? Asking for a friend
The thing that irks me about the $1000 shoplifting limit is it forces people to do math while in a hurry. What if they innocently grabbed $1027 of stuff, and now have to go to jail because they forgot to carry the 1 or something?
Honestly I think there should be like a 5% margin of error leniency, or at least return the $30 item that pushed them over. That way everybody is happy

For the first time in my life, I literally just yelled "get off my property" at somebody. It was absolutely cathartic, and I've never felt more Texan
no twitter shtick here. I have my own private haunted woods around my shack and there's been a bigass construction thing going on beyond them. it's been making dust and noise for a few months, which has been an annoyance, but whaddaya gonna do. Anyway a couple of guys from the site, in hardhats and yellow vests, hopped my fence and started walking around my property scoping the site and what. That's when I snapped and went into fist shaking angry old man mode
Yeah them varmints skee-daddled

Happy Homecoming parade season from #DavesCarIDService, brought to you today by Food King and DePasto Oldsmobile. Drop in to DePasto Olds and ask Carmine for great deals on a new '63 Dynamic 88, or a pre-owned creampuff like this '61 Buick Electra convertible! Image
Image
*of course I would be remiss to not mention the Faber homecoming parade car that spurred mayhem at Mayor DePasto's showroom, the Delta Deathmobile. a/k/a pledge Kent Dorfman's '64 Lincoln Continental loaned from his brother. A '64 is an anachronism given the timeline of the movie, but hey, I'll forgive them that.Image

Ah, Homecoming, a sentimental time for alumni to gather to reminisce about old felonies committed, and maybe ride around in a bitchin' parade convertible. My old stomping grounds of Iowa City, which had their HC parade yesterday, is no exception - as evidenced by UI president Barbara Wilson in a 1963-67 Corvette Stingray, or this unidentified younger alumna in a more recent C7 or C6 'Vette.
