I don't need a DQ - if I squint, I can see Red's Dairy Freeze from my spare bedroom. It is a happy day when they open in the spring.Mrs. UR went to HS in Littleton and used to ride her bike there all the time in the summer. We were in Acton yesterday afternoon, so a detour to Kimball's was a must. A happy wife....
No message = pos rep. Neg rep must have a message. Of course, if you cheap basters ponied up for Extra, you would know all, see all.

So you aren't in the cockpit molesting the pilot? :eek:
 
Re: Poll: Rep Retirement Lodge #165: Spring Has Sprung!

OK, since this has evolved into an ice cream discussion......I am an ice cream person. New Englanders eat more ice cream per capita than any other part of the county and as such, I feel like we have way more options for ice cream here. My absolute fave is Brigham's chocolate. It is still available, despite having been bought by Hood. I prefer hard ice cream over soft serve but if soft serve is all that it is available, I love Dairy Queen. There used to be one in my hometown plus others close by but they all closed. There are still a few on Cape Cod. Kimball Farms is awesome, because you get SO MUCH. Bedford Farms is another one I go to quite a bit during the summer when it's open.

I love arenas that serve ice cream. And not those crime-against-humanity Dippin' Dots. Or novelties. I'm looking at you Tsongas. Used to serve Brigham's there but stopped. That made me sad. Fenway serves Hood soft serve. I recall getting into an argument at the Homer Dome in Minneapolis years back when I went out there to see the Red Sox. They're waffle cone sundae for some reason only came with vanilla when they had chocolate. It was very odd. They're reasoning was they wanted to save it. I mean, what if more people wanted the waffle cone sundae with chocolate ice cream? And then someone wanted a helmet sundae and they were out of chocolate??? I was like "Yeah, it's the bottom of the 5th and there's less than 20K people here. I do not think that is going to be a problem." They still wouldn't do it for me. Idiots.

OH! I've had their ice cream too! Ridiculously delicious. Every time I go to my brother's house for one of his kid's birthday parties (or any other family party) I always ask why they don't get it. Especially when they know I will be there. Because it's all about what I like. :) My nieces rave so much about their chocolate milk I swear they know you!!!

Hmm. I never knew that. I feel like almost everybody loves ice cream. It was a crime when the X went away from the twist waffle cone. That was SO GOOD.

I eat far too much ice cream in the summer. I wouldn't have it any other way, though.:p

DQ, however, has horrible waffle cones/dishes. It was really bland the one time I had it.

Yeah, it must be some sort of a new flaw in the system, because everyone here at max rep dinging you should have turned you red by now. I just tried it. Not to neg rep you for any negative reason. Just to pile on and see what would happen. Apparently nothing.

We're like Clooney and Pitt, in the underground vault in Ocean's 11, clicking the detonators over and over. Clickclick! Nothing. "Huh." Clickclick! Nothing. Maybe rep is out of batteries. :D

Also there Norm, few people know that the, uh, top 3 flavors -- Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry -- are the same everywhere. Except for, uh, New England there! -- Vanilla, Chocolate, Coffee. Yep.
 
Re: Poll: Rep Retirement Lodge #165: Spring Has Sprung!

All this talk of ice cream, now I want some.
Do I go to Culver's for some frozen custard, or DQ?
Decisions, decisions.
Or maybe I wait and hope the bar has dessert nachos tonight? For those wondering about dessert nachos, it's fried tortillas with ice cream, chocolate sauce and whip cream.
 
Re: Poll: Rep Retirement Lodge #165: Spring Has Sprung!

FD might know about this place, but it is one of the best ice cream places I've ever been to. Donnelly's between Saranac Lake and Lake Clear in the Adirondacks.

They only serve one flavor a day, always twisted with vanilla. Same schedule every year, but 2 days are surprises, one is a nut flavor, the other a fruit. Always has, and will, be a stop whenever I'm in that area.

I used to get Culver's custard all the time. A medium concrete shake with strawberry & Oreo. Then I made the mistake of going to the website and looking up the nutrition information. DON'T DO IT. I've only had their concrete shake once since going to the site.

Well, when you can't get to one anymore, sure.

The f'burg dq is my local.

Funny dq story too.. My first trip to St. Paul mookie was on my way to the tailgate behind the dq... downloaded a dq app which led me to the place- only everyone had packed up and headed in by the time Mookie got there.
Didn't need dq app anymore after that.

The Custard in Wisconsin is pretty nice, can't remember the Drive in Jen sent us to but the custard was awesome
