Satan’s Ride
Afishionados,
If Satan drove a truck, it would definitely be an ice cream truck. Summer, it seems, has arrived in Seattle because I hear this damn thing multiple times a day every day all the time and OH MY GOD MAKE IT STOP!

The ice cream van reminds me of the van from an old video game(Twisted Metal)

The van reminds *me* of a certain movie you made me buy.

BEAD: Yea, I see it.
RaJ: “Made” you buy? I simply recommended it. I also recommend this one. This is, without a doubt, the WORST movie that I have ever seen.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

A philosophical question though - why is it that ice-cream trucks around the world seem to have picked up the tune ‘Greensleeves’ as their theme?
This is the same thing that ice-cream trucks here play, and have done so since I was a kid.
Why ‘Greensleeves’? Why not, oh, ‘Frosty the Snowman’ or ‘Yummy Yummy Yummy’ or SOMETHING that is IN SOME, even tenuous WAY appropriate to selling ice-cream?
What’s ‘Greensleeves’ pitching?

I haven’t lived in town for a few years now. When I did it was only the Dixie Dee bike guys/gals doing their thing. The kids would all come running. Even big kids like me.

Anaglyph: It has to do with this painting: My Lady Greensleeves by Dante Gabriel Rossetti

He really captured the ice-cream didn’t he? Those Pre-Raphaelites!
I hope she doesn’t let it melt down her arm.
