The ice cream truck just went barrelling past our house, again.
It's so odd - this dude starts his ice cream truck music just moments before he hits our street, then barrels up the street before I can even think about getting cash out of my purse for Baby Bunny! WTF???

1. Sadistic ice cream man wants to see you run like hell
Actually, we had one like that when I was a kid. He'd speed away when he saw us coming. He made us work for that damned ice cream.

7. "I had a little chickie" is really...
..."Turkey in the Straw" -- the "chickie" version is a camp song adapted from the original tune, which is very old.

5. You need spike strips like the cops have.
You want ice cream, gotta go for the tires.

11. The ice cream truck comes by the shop once a day
and as it always works out, no one has the money to buy! We won't buy unless we have enough for everyone. One day the truck came buy and the owner's dog jumped right in the ice cream truck!

12. I haven't lived in a place where an ice cream truck comes around
in YEARS...
there is a DQ about 7 miles away in the nearest little town to my teeny little village, so that's as close as I get, other than the Schwann's truck, and that's just not the same. *lol*

14. Ours always comes around when we're getting the kids ready for bed.
I turn on the TV hoping it will drown out the truck's music, but it doesn't always work.

15. My dear bunny!
I used to tell my daughter that it was the music truck!

She never knew (till she was MUCH older) what it was about!

17. The saddest thing I ever saw
was three chubby little butterballs trying to run after the ice cream truck which was rolling along very S-l-o-w-l-y down our street. I had to go in the house.

21. Two words: "Road Spikes"
1). Lay out road spikes

2). Wait for tires to blow

3). Select your favorite frozen treat

4). Pay the driver the appropriate amount

5). Enjoy!
