The ice cream man is here...
and he's not just playing his music; he's honking his freaking horn. Right in front of my freaking house.
And I'm trying to stay away from that crap! :mad:

2. No ice cream trucks here in Hampden, Maine
But there's a guy who parks around the corner selling fresh lobsters, scallops, clams, and fiddle heads when they're in season.

Then I noticed it was you, long in bed I believe. Any ice cream truck would get caught in the slush here.

24. Cockles and mussels alive, alive-o!!
My mom buys me a lobster when I visit her near Boston. I was told I ate a whole one when I was 1 1/2(!) on a family vacation in Maine, and I've loved 'em ever since.

19. I hate those repeating tape loops the ice cream trucks play
And they come by on the weekends when I'm trying to nap in the afternoon and park outside my house.

Somedays I'm tempted to go out and give them 20 bucks just to go away. Other days I want to drop bricks on the damn truck!

21. I have an old Gary Larson cartoon on my refrigerator that has one of those trucks
coming down the street, but instead of ice cream it has "Liver and Onions", and fearful looking kids are hiding from it! :rofl:
