There’s a new Facebook group called People for a Library-Themed Ben & Jerry’s Flavor. They say that libraries are awesome, B&J ice cream is tasty, so why not combine the two and convince Ben & Jerry’s to produce a new flavor with a library theme? Candidates so far include “Gooey Decimal System” and “Rocky Read.” Do you have others? Tell us about it in the forum. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Library-Themed Ben & Jerry’s”
The other day I discovered a Facebook group called People for a Library-Themed Ben & Jerry’s Flavor.
Have you seen this, Grant?
What are they after? I don’t understand.
They want Ben & Jerry’s in the library?
No, no, no, no.
Their premise is that libraries are awesome, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is tasty, and therefore there should be a library-themed Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.
Okay.
And so they’re all throwing out suggestions and trying to put peer pressure on Ben & Jerry to come up with a library-themed ice cream.
For example, how about Gooey Decimal System?
That’s dark fudge alphabet letters with caramel swirls and hazelnut ice cream.
Or, how about this one, Rocky Reed?
Oh, Reed.
What’s a Reed?
Like Rocky Road, vanilla with chocolate-covered nuts, chocolate chunks, and raisins.
And I was thinking maybe we could start our own Facebook group of grammar-themed ice cream.
And I bet you have some suggestions.
Well, all I can think of so far is banana split infinitive, but maybe our listeners have suggestions.
If you have a library-themed ice cream name or a grammar-themed ice cream name, you can give us a call at 1-877-929-9673 or send an email to words@waywordradio.org.
