I suppose it depends on your experience of either being a bicyclist, or sharing the road with them... but I have known a few folks (all men) who genuinely mourned the passing (or theft) of their beloved bikes.
Almost every male knitter I have known either had a background in medicine or engineering. Wouldn't be surprised to find that Mr. Lewins knit them himself.
After waving the ice cream about in the air for several minutes, what I think of as 'ice cream' would not have stayed on the end of even a cold metal paddle, and melting ice cream drips would have been flying at the customer - a lot less funny. I suspect then an additional ingredient in holding the ice cream together. I think Cold Stone uses gums, of necessity, so their product will hold together no matter how many toppings and candies the customer asks to have added and worked in. It's been a very profitable gimmick for the company. But I think if you're not going to add toppings and just want a scoop of ice cream, standing on its own, their ice cream is an inferior taste experience, fwiw.
Do you suppose it's extra guar gum-my (I've always wondered what that ingredient was about)? I'm more a fan of Haagen Das 'Five' - just five ingredients, and none of them are gum.
The thing about kitties and puppies when they're that small is that sleep is so imperative, it's like they're comatose. You can move around with them and they won't wake up.
I was curious as to the cause of their deaths. They all had long lives and they died of various ailments, sudden and chronic. I was wondering if cancer would dominate, but it did not. Nor did they want of companionship; despite their grumpyness, someone(s) loved them.
