For the last couple of days I have been badgering HossBoss to write on the blog. She's been sick, so this was incredibly evil of me... And all along it turns out that I was my turn to post in the blog. I'm a terrible friend.
Anywho: onto my actual post.
I will invite you to listen to the internal thoughts (because what kind of thoughts aren't internal?) of Kentucky before she goes to bed.
Ice cream cones are weird. If you think hard enough about the concept of ice cream cones, you will realize that I am telling the truth.
Ice Cream Cone: noun, A crispy piece of bread used to hold a sphere of frozen milk for optimal licking.
And somehow, magically, this piece of bread doesn't fall apart when the ice cream melts? Please explain this phenomenon to me, if you can.
Then, consider the shape of ice cream cones. It is a cone shape... I think the general idea of the cone shape was to catch the drips of the ice cream as it melts. But we all know that ice cream doesn't melt into the cone: it melts onto your hands, so this function of the ice cream cone is moot point.
And then there are those ice cream "cones" that aren't even cones. They're more flashlight shaped, and are perpetually stale tasting. And even though these bits of bread are wafer thin, they don't get soggy and fall apart either! Not only does this kind of cone defy any sort of expectations for an ice cream cone, it isn't even a cone!
Finally, there is the waffle cone... don't even get me started on the waffle cone. If you are a lucky ice cream purchaser, you will get a waffle cone that is closed at the bottom. But most of the time, the waffle cone is wide open at the bottom. This results in ice cream melting onto your hand, and, if the random drop falls where it's supposed to... well that drop won't be caught by the cone, like the ice cream cone engineer designed. Instead, it will land on what ever unfortunate object is under the cone at the moment. Most of the time, it is your toes.
