The El Nino (redux)
10.2.2k6

There's a kitchen in the place I work and on the wall of the kitchen there's a TV that's ALWAYS on and someone's ALWAYS watching it. I don't get it. I only rediscovered TV after getting TiVo and wresting control over what I watched and when I watched it. That made the mind-numbing a bit better because it was mind-numbing on MY SCHEDULE.

I mention the TV in the kitchen because I walked by it and someone was watching a program. In the time it took me to walk by I heard an intriguing snippet: " ... many people visit our Flavor Graveyard to pay homage to discontinued flavors they once enjoyed."

I got to my desk and googled "flavor graveyard" and got this.

An interesting list of dead ice cream flavors. I applaud the B&J for attempting some of them. The idea of a virtual graveyard gave me an idea to list the dead places the TNSC used to go.
Off the top of my head:

(The) El Bobo
The Overflo
20 Tanks
Pow!

There's more but I gotta stop there. It's too hard. We had many good times at those joints. And now word comes down that C. Bobby Cook, owner/operator of the venerable Owl Tree (venue of all holiday/"secret" meetings) has passed. He was a classic. This robot can only hope that his estab. survives him.

Tonight - Rogue Ale House.

They're sponsoring a Short Film Festival and TNSC stalwart Brady Baltezore has a featured entry. Come on out and show your support!!
