![[America's Vanilla Ice Cream, by Dreyers]](http://www.realmofthewombat.com/images/misc/americasvanilla.jpg)
I was walking through the ice cream section of my grocer’s freezer, and I found that Dreyers now sells America’s Vanilla. I think this actually came out for Independence Day, but this is clearly tantamount to Freedom Fries. Wasn’t there Russian dressing during the cold war? Did we burn Persian rugs during the Gulf War? Am I really unpatriotic if I eat French vanilla ice cream?

I’m shocked that I didn’t come up with this movie. I mean, someone’s life hangs in the balance based on how many bars somebody has. It’s a natural.

![[The Sled]](images/misc/sled.jpg)
From Minnesota, to South Bend, to Jersey, and out to California, Grandpa Joe’s ’96 Olds has been my ride. It’s moved me with upto 6 people, 11 baseball gloves, 5 bats, a plethora of softballs, bike rack, folding chairs, and grill, all in style. Sure, things went wrong from time to time, but all in all, I could count on the Sled. It’ll be tough not driving it anymore. Cars come and go, but once a Sledrider, always a Sledrider.
Normally I don’t like to talk about summer softball up here, but I’d just like to vent for a moment. Last year, we were mocked for having a sponsor pay for our jerseys. This year, we haven’t acquired any uniforms yet, but four other teams have. However, we’re still described as the “Evil Empire.” As much as I dislike being compared to the Yankees, I guess it means that everyone knows we’re the team to beat. And that’s fine with me.
