I LOVE tiger tail ice cream! It's also just called tiger ice cream, or sometimes tiger tiger. I had some just this summer but it was disappointing -- the orange flavour and the licorice flavour weren't strong enough. Really good tiger tail just hits you right in the face.

Love licorice and that ice cream looks awesome. Finland makes some good strong licorice as does Italy and both will most definitely "hit you in the face." My experience with 'melting' licorice is dissolving it in alcohol (Licorice Liquor is to die for). For ice cream, I'm betting some good Italian licorice powder is the way to go. Perhaps I'll let you know. . . .

Won’t we have to redesign ships more like snowmobiles to sail across bread?

Evidently Hershey didn’t alienate troops like Spam did.

Werewolf Dave Landau is hilarious.

Klimt’s meteoric success with “The Kiss” after being beat up over previous work shows how prudish society is.

Retail theft is just another example that anything can be presented to the public as a boogie man for political gain.

I think Ration D bars are still available.   Nowadays they call 'em PowerBars.
