1. *coughs* what IS a root beer float?
Maybe I'd like to go for one if I knew what it is. Even though I'm drinking French red wine right now :)

3. You take a root beer and pour it into a glass.
Then you get a big ole scoop of vanilla ice cream and plop it into the root beer. MMMMMMMM

7. Well it will float that way.
but that is the real way..

I like my ice cream in first too.

cause it just melts the ice cream a little as you poor it in and mixes so nicely.

4. Well we could go to Sonic and get a blended float.
thems are pretty good.

But if you just have to have a milkshake, I am sure we can find you a jittery cow.

15. I have had one.
I like the Dr. Pepper Sundaes. Where they use DP syrup to make the sundae. Those are good.

28. They're fine. You don't know what you are missing.
I think I'll go churn up a batch of guiness ice cream. All we have is diet rootbeer but it will have to do.

26. I was remembering that you are on call when I posted!
I'm glad you're moving! Sounds like it's time for you to find a much BETTER neighborhood, IMHO...

OH well, I'll just have to find some other way to cure this boredom!

16. It has to be a good root beer
not just any will do. Micro brewed root beers are the best. Like Goose Island or Henry Weinheart. And the Ice cream has to be Haagen Das or Breyers. Yes, I would like one please. :bounce:

22. Well there used to be this root beer that had an elf or something.
He had a blue shirt and red hat. I can not remember the name of that root beer but it was the best. Better than A&W.

33. Don't know about the red capped, green shirted elf, but...
I know Hires tho and it's not even close to the original A&W. I'm talking the old stands, nothing like the crap that bears the name now.
