#531 - Frosty
It’s funny how sometimes on the coldest days of winter I’ll really have a craving for a popsicle. I do the same sort of thing in the summer. I start having daydreams of beef stew or homemade barley soup. Most of the time I’m normal. Today I had a grape slushy.

Yeah, ice cream is not good in the morning.
I’m glad I’ve never been that cold in the morning!

I like ice cream in the morning =p

I often find myself in a large block of ice every morning. That’s when I stop and think to myself, now, maybe getting a sunday at the Macca’s drive through wouldn’t be such a good idea.

Looks like this week is all about getting off to a bad start.

Try starting off your day with a cup of cocoa with a scoop of vanilla ice cream floating in it.

Some people microwave their underwear on cold days. Biff should consider this for his pants. And ice cream.

Exacerbation Week? Or, as davideo said, Bad Start Week.

I found this through a banner-ad on TKT. I just read every comic from the beginning. I laughed so hard at points I was crying. Biff is now my new best friend.

Reminds me of a time my family was visiting Cleveland at Christmas. My brother and I walked through what seemed like three feet of snow to get to the shop we’d seen advertise “build your own ice cream sundaes.”
It seemed like a great idea until we started walking back…

Bad Start week sounds good, but I’m going to suggest “Making It Worse” week.
I don’t much care for icecream or such in the AM, but in the deepest, coldest winter, I like my iced coffee.

Yes! Surreal misfortune! Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!

@Zege - Thanks for reading!

LOL why the hell is him inside an ice block?? XD
Great!
June 17th, 2008 at 8:52 am
obviously he fell asleep on his couch and it was too hot, so he froze himself

I love ice cream any time of the year. It’s a matter of where you eat your ice cream. Outside in the winter may not be the best place.
June 17th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
You might crave those things like stew or soup in the summer because you haven’t hand them in a while. Like right now, I could really go for a big bowl of chicken and dumplings, but dang. Its 100 degrees outside. Oh well…. I’ll just go have a popsicle.
June 17th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
@Robert - A chicken and dumpling popsicle?
June 17th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
@ Chris: That actually sounds pretty good
The Duck Has Spoken.

Most of the time I’m normal.
I so doubt that.
Ben & Jerry’s used to promote the argument that lowering your body temperature by eating ice cream in winter made you feel warmer because you had decreased the difference between your body temperature and the temperature outside.
As far as I’m concerned, any excuse to eat ice cream is welcome.

Fred - Because he is Biff.

Ice Cream is good year round. I just made my mom make Beef Stew the other day because I was craving it hard.
June 17th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
I have the simple solution to all your problems! I call it “air modification”, or “air conditioning” or something like that. This marvelous invention will allow you to feel hot or cold no matter what the local climate is like! With and invention like this, I’ll be rich! and furthermo… what? WHAT!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT’S ALREADY INVENTED?!? AFUBBADAHUGFUBBIJUB!!!*
*that’s actually pronouncable. a-fubba-da-hug-fubb-e-jub

I agree with MaskedMan for “Making it Worse” week.
@ Chris - How do you put a picture up next to your name?
June 17th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
So what are those foods that you only eat when you are lukewarm, I mean you aren’t hot and you aren’t cold, you’re just comfortable. I guess for me I’d go with pretzels, but I eat those even when I’m sweaty or near frozen

Evreyday I eat a frost pop (what I call a frozen soda). I ussualy have it after I eat lunch, but sometimes it just seems weird eating them on cold days, since once I finish it, I get cold even on a hot day.
June 17th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
@ Zege: I know how you feel. At times my brother and I almost died of laughter!
June 18th, 2008 at 12:01 am
So did Biff forget to pay his thermodynamics bill too?
June 18th, 2008 at 2:52 am
I remember eating some beef stew last summer. I got so sweaty I had to take a shower. It was miserable.
June 18th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
hmm, frosty.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:08 am
Haaahaha.
I’m a New Englander.
Everyone has bought a Coffee Coolatta from Dunkin Donuts at least once in their life during Winter.
Kind of a social norm?
Especially in RI, where we have more Dunkins than any state in the US.

I know what you mean, but I’d always take advantage of cold days and take a bowl of ice cream as I’d walk to the bus stop. It would never melt. I also have this strategy for bringing ice cream to work. use a thermos and put the thermos in the freezer. People won’t steal your ice cream. I used to use that same technique to bring ice cream to school and eat it in my first class.

I swear I have a craving for a posicle like… every day of the winter, but I never get one. I mean why would my parents even consider buying them?
