Trail Mix -- July 24, 2008

Wakeboard_tiny by prezofdeath on

Welcome to the Trail Mix....well this is where you post all your randomness that doesn't really deserve its own fanpost, but is still important and doesn't fit elsewhere. Don't forget about the fanshots too--you can always use those for pictures, vidoes, links, etc. Sometimes I feel like only TiH reads my fanshots...

Alright so to get thingsgoing, I need some advice. I've been in Tillamook for the past week and a half visiting family, and I've yet to go to the Tillamook cheese factory. I'll probably be going Saturday; what ice cream flavors should I get?

I'll probably get a waffle cone, cuz' they're the bomb. But I don't know what flavors to get. I want a double scoop, so here's the scoop--I'll post a poll, EngineerScotty-style, and you guys vote. Top vote getter will be my bottom scoop, and second-best vote getter will be my top scoop.

 

Poll
What flavor should I get?
  • Banana Split
  • Black Walnut
  • Blueberry Cheesecake
  • Bubble Gum
  • Caramel Butter Pecan
  • Caramel Pecan Praline
  • Caramel Toffee Crunch
  • Chocolate
  • Chocolate Orange
  • Cookie Dough
  • Cows In Brownie Batter
  • Mint Chocolate Chip
  • Chocolate Peanut Butter
  • Coffee Almond Fudge
  • Cookies and Cream
  • Espresso Mocha
  • French Silk
  • French Vanilla
  • German Chocolate Cake
  • Marionberry Pie
  • Mountain Huckleberry
  • Old-Fashioned Vanilla
  • Oregon Black Cherry
  • Oregon Strawberry
  • Peaches and Cream
  • Peppermint Candy
  • Pistachio Pecan
  • Pumpkin
  • Rocky Road
  • Root Beer Float
  • Strawberry Cheesecake
  • Tillamook Mudslide
  • Udderly Chocolate
  • Vanilla Bean
  • White Licorice
  • Wild Mountain Blackberry

Name stealers

Just today, I noticed that ABC News calls their daily campaign coverage “Trail Mix”... we should’ve copyrighted it.

Tillamook?

Yeah, I’m there right now. Funny how people come from all over to visit the Cheese Factory and when you live here you barely go. Bubble gum ice cream all the way, as long as it’s not for me.

chocolate peanut butter

you just can’t beat it. i sometimes wish it were that awesome peanut butter with chunks of ice cream, instead of the other way around.

I went last weekend and chocolate peanut butter is still my favorite! Although, the relatively recently added cows in brownie batter is also quite good. Really, you can’t go wrong!

CPB is the best

You know that PB they feed you in school is like half suger. That’s why, even though it is exceptionally dry is still tastes good.

I've never read anything by Vonnegut

I looked at Breakfast of Champion’s Wiki and it said “anus” and I clicked the link and saw an anus. Actually I saw two ani. Ha, I made up a word.

I haven't read a book since I discovered podcasts

I was read a book or two a week on the bus and now I haven’t read one in well over a year. The last book I started to read was Hawaii by James Michener. It kept putting me to sleep.

Why are you guys talking

about anusi in an ice cream post? I can never eat rocky road again.

I want to be tucked in by Greg Oden and have him tell us stories about the old days.

Practice

I bet Roy and Bayless have some epic battles in practice this season. This is Roy’s breakout season…......I just fell asleep at my desk and dreamt it, so it be.

Wow.

If this is his breakout season, what do you call last year?

I can see it now… Voted into the All-Star game by the fans, averaging 25, 10 and 8, MVP honors, a WCF berth…

Come to think of it, I hope this is Roy’s breakout season!

Someone else jumping ship for Europe

Georgia Tech center Dickey leaves for Europe

I doubt he would have made it in the NBA. It’s funny that he didn’t even bother to try.

One scoop bubblegum, one scoop banana

In a waffle cone of course. It’s my usual. There are too many flavors, too many choices, my mind freezes and from somewhere in my subconscious a voice says, “Bubble gum and banana!” and then immediately I wish I’d gotten something different…something unique…like one scoop mushroom and one scoop chartreuse in a terra cotta finger bowl.

The air museum at the blimp hanger is worth a look if that sort of stuff interests you. And of course Cape Mears and the whole 3 capes scenic route is the best kept secret of the Oregon coast. From downtown Tilly you wouldn’t even know you are a mile from some of the best coastal scenery in the state.

And lastly here’s a link to a Blazers article at Hoopsworld…probably been posted around here somewhere already but I can’t keep up with it all.

Wendell Maxey

Is a good writer, sometimes he doesnt have a ton of new info in it, but he also is catering to a NBA audience as opposed to a Blazer specific one. But he does like the Blazers, cant hate on that. Plus the man actually answers emails to his personal box (writers rarely do)

I have lived in Tillamook for 15 years,

the chocolate peanutbutter is the perfect icecreme.

They consider themselves forward thinking in Portland from what friends tell me. Apparently they have this global warming issue handled. They’ve found ways to end your life as a profit making venture. And they’re hip to counter culture icons.

I dunno best Tillamook flavor

BUT THE BEST FLAVOR IN THE WORLD OF ICED CREAMS is—

Oatmeal Chunk by Ben n’ Jerry’s.

I’ve never really been a ice cream guy, we (we = me and The Made Up Fiancee) got a cravin’ and I like oatmeal cookies so I got that flavor on a whim and it changed my whole life. CINNAMON ice cream, oatmeal cookie dough, lil’ bit of chocolate, it’s the best ice cream in the world by far and if anyone disagrees they are a Nazi and enjoy watching Kobe play on the Lakers.

I WANT SOME OATMEAL CHUNK RIGHT NOW.

It’s the best.
