All right. Everybody warm up yer voices:
(Ahem)
mi mi mi mi mi ….
Hmm. Bored? Okay. Here’s something my beloved voice coach Waddad Saba would make me do:
louie-ahh, louie-ahh, louie-ahh, louie-ahh, louie-ahh, louie-ahh, louie-ahh, lou—eee–ahhhh
(Oh. Sorry. Start at the top of the scale — each “louie-ahh” is sung on one note — work your way down the scale with each one. Try it again. I’ll wait ….)
Okay. Now we’re ready to join hands and hearts and voices as we sing the most loathsome song ever written — BUT all for a good cause. Ready?
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya, tomorrow
You’re always a daaaay awaaaay!
Why am I subjecting you to this horror, you ask? You come by my blog quite innocent and unsuspecting, you say? You assume you won’t be musically assaulted, you protest? Well, I’m sorry if I’ve violated some sacred, bloggy trust, but you just may be verrry happy and burst into that damnable song all over again when I tell you that:
Tomorrow is *FREEEE* ICE CREAM CONE DAY AT BEN AND JERRY’S!!!!!
I’m not kidding wich’you. I would never kid about ice cream.
But …… any of you Captain Skeptismos can go over to Ben and Jerry’s for the blessed, creamy truth.
(Uh, that’s April 19th, noon to 8 p.m.)
UPDATE: Just got my freebie! Scoops are small, but yummy nevertheless. Here’s the trick: Ask for a cup — slightly bigger scoop — then ask for the cone on top of the scoop, like a jack-in-the-box. Ta- dah! One must strategize, you know. Also, the impudent young fellow in front of me was slurping his ice cream cone while going back for seconds — which, apparently, is not frowned upon. They are offering a choice of about half a dozen flavors, not the whole menu, which, thankfully, makes the indecisive less so. Line goes fast since ain’t nobody payin’!
So my review? Cool, creamy goodness worth the short wait.
Cream on.
