Into The Sun

Ah, Summer, by far the fairest of the seasons. Well… not really. That description fits Spring better, if you want to get into technicalities… but you know what — fuck those. Technicalities aside, what I should have said anyway is that Summer is by far the best season. And if you disagree, you can go eat a sandwich. MADE OUT OF KNUCKLES icon eek Into The Sun

And wouldn’t you rather be eating a mutagen bar, anyway?

There are people out there in this wild world who actually say crazy things like, “I enjoy the change of seasons.” And they’re not saying it purely from a sense of premature nostalgia for a future climate ravaged by greenhouse gasses, dying oceans, deforestation, solar flares, nuclear war, run-on sentences, whatever. This is surprising to me, because the other three seasons only serve as a reminder of why Summer is so goddamned good. I have a good memory. If you don’t, try taking some Ginkgo biloba1.

And then there are people who don’t like Summer at all. I don’t trust these people. Frankly, they’re mildly worrisome. If you don’t find some sense of magic, as horrifically sappy as that sounds, in the sun and sweat of a real Summer, I have another suggestion for you. Put a magnet to the base of your neck, it will fix your problems. And mine — one less robot in the world.

    i miss those damn ice creams. i’ve never seen them available in any store, which is pretty unfair because you can totally buy choco tacos. i’ve not even eaten any ice cream that tastes remotely similar to those pops. i remember how the eyeballs were more like jawbreakers than anything else. if you tried to chew it like gum, you’re pretty much guaranteed a chipped tooth.

    The eyes in the Ninja Turtle weren’t too bad - although still way more crunchy than chewy. They must have updated their formula. You’re right though… they’re not quite ice cream… something similar, but unique and mysterious.

    I’ve never seen them in any stores either, but they can often be found in the little ice cream carts dudes tend to push up and down the beach.
