Hey, Mr. Ice Cream Man, drive your van for me,
I’m not sleepy and there’s jimmies on my mind
Hey, Mr. Ice Cream Man, ring your bells for me,
In the jingle-jangle morning, I’ll come running to your side.

back of a red ice cream truck, with a variety of ice cream pops painted on it (strawberry crunch, drumstick, Spongebob, klondike). Caption painted in white reads "DYLAN & PETE'S"

Glad these two buried the proverbial Newport '65 hatchet to start an ice cream truck together. Hope they don't put Woody's "This Soft Serve Machine Kills Fascists" out of business.

I asked chatGPT to make a star wars style opening crawl for the film "The Last Temptation of Christ".  Is it really episode one though?

Next rev will make AI versions of the films to make this so.

We spotted the officers on Wednesday first ticketing a passenger car parked in the bike lane between Park and Myrtle avenues. The pair β€” Sgt. Austin Slamowitz and Officer Ashur Morris β€” then continued down Bedford, but decided not to ticket several vans and trucks that were also blocking the bike lane for reasons that were unclear.

But I'm going to use Sgt. Slamowitz and Officer Morris as names of characters in my upcoming buddy cop TV show. Slamowitz is a hotheaded rookie. Morris is a by the book veteran who's seen it all.

Drivers: Bikers are always breaking the law!

Also Drivers: We break the law so much that a full-time police detail is needed to enforce the bike lane - and there are so many violations that they run out of tickets

Street scene.  "School speed limit 20 when flashing".  It's flashing.  "Your speed 28".

I'll do a shot for every driver obeying the speed limit. An hour later: stone cold sober.

OK, I'll do a shot whenever a driver stops on the stop line and not in the crosswalk.

I gotta think of a better game.

I'd defer to deeper comics fans, but wasn't that a plot point in Frank Miller's "Dark Knight" series? Supes was on the side of the government doing unsavory stuff?

Bebe Neuwirth & George Hearn guest starring in the episode and it wasn't a musical. Such a missed opportunity.

TOS scene on the bridge.  Kirk & Spock are standing next to Dr McCoy as he begins to flip out after accidentally injecting a full ampule of cordrazine into himself.  Mr. Leslie is off the hook.  He's a few steps away at the engineering station in the background.

If Spock had just neck pinched Bones after the accidental cordrazine injection, we wouldn't have one of the greatest #StarTrek episodes over. "Hmm, the doctor seems to be delusional. I shall observe rather than intervene." #LLAP #IDIC

It did go through, but the noise complaints were too much. They plugged the hole and that's why it looks like that.

No, I didn't hear that from a bus driver. It was a tram conductor.
