J/B/P/T-A-DAY IN MAY: ONE WEEK
Hey there, 'Redheads... It's still the 7th for five more minutes, so this one counts. Whether it'll be worth counting is another issue (self-deprecation: check). I just got home from a great concert at the 9:30 Club. A Finnish heavy metal cello quartet by the name of Apocalyptica blew the roof off the joint. Do yourself a favor, click the link and give 'em a listen.
Ok...on with the jokey jokes. It's been a whole week of JOKE/BIT/PREMISE/TAG-A-DAY IN MAY and I'm pretty happy that I haven't let my usual layabout tendencies sink this ship just yet. However, in order to spread this joke jelly over a month long piece of toast, I gotta put my brain in neutral and fall back on the news of the day to fill the daily dose...
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The man who helped build the 31-flavor craze at ice cream store Baskin-Robbins has died at age 90. Irvine Robbins died Monday at his home in Rancho Mirage, Calif. Daughter Marsha Veit says he had been in ill for some time. Generations of kids trooped to Baskin-Robbins stores to buy ice cream flavors like Pralines 'n Cream, Daiquiri Ice and Pink Bubblegum. Robbins opened his first ice cream store in Glendale, Calif., in December 1945, following his discharge from the Army. Robbins offered 21 flavors at that store. His brother-in-law, the late Burton Baskin, opened his own ice cream store in neighboring Pasadena a year later. The two eventually joined forces.
This one will be a choose-your-own-punchline:
As a tribute, his remains will be cremated and mixed in with the jimmies...
or
Baskin-Robbins will introduce a 32nd flavor, Irvine's Open Casket Crunch...
'Til tomorrow...
