Who Doesn't Like an Eskimo Pie?

Cliche Geometry: Eskimos Have Forty Words for Snow.

Norwegians Have Thirty-Four, But Also Have a Lot of Extra Consonants and Umlaut-like Letter-Beret-Type Things. And Volvos. Joke For Another Time, Involving Lady Parts. Volvo Lady Part = Alternator. Jump Start?

Peruvians Also Have a Lot of Words for Snow, But That May Be a Digression. Mayan Be a Digression? Mayonnaise? As the Sacrificed Virgin Last Said: My Heart is Not In It.


Anyway.

In 1992 Snow Rapped:

"You know say Daddy Snow me, I'm gonna blame
A licky boom-boom down"

When is the Last Time You Felt "A licky boom-boom down" and What Did it Mean to You? How Did You Respond to Licky Boom Boom?

-or--


Can You Own Up to that Unfortunate Asymmetrical Haircut?

So You Didn't Drive Your Chevy to the Levy Only to Find Out that the Levy was Dry?

Levee. Dang.

Speaking of a Joke For Another Time... or to be more precise, a joke left behind... a delayed joke... a buried joke.

At your "What Did You Bring Into the Shelter?" post, I imagined Synova and Pasta being turned away at the door, on account that the shelter is a gun free zone.

Raspberry, strawberry, lemon and lime
What do I care?
Seal, walrus, salmon, halibut or whale
Call me for dinner, honey, I’ll be there

See what I mean... hardly a chuckle... the timing is gone, passed the point of... its no use... why are we even discussing it... you'll go your way i'll go mine... but what about the baby... you have your tv shows to produce... you don't have time to be a dad... I'm Simon Cowell, I can do anything.

Volvos are Swedish.

Though I am sure Norwegians have them.

Actually, they have German parts in them. Bosch.

Or at least they used to, before Ford bought them.

Hahahaha. I don't remember this Snow guy at all.

So white Canadian boy wants to be, imitates, Eek-A-Mouse.

Give me

Dong dong didi dong dong gidi mendem den den bena bena mohoi stena mendem genamoi, dong dong didi dong dong gena mendem den den bena bene mohoi gena mendem gena iohoi, gena men

over

A licky boom boom down,

ey?

Ah, that takes me back. Listened to plenty of Eek-a-Mouse and Lee "Scratch" Perry in college.

(Inhale.)

Huh, maybe that's why I don't remember Snow.

(Don't tell edutcher.)

If there's an Eskimo Teddy Kennedy and an Eskimo Christopher Dodd, when they get plastered, they make an Eskimo Girl Sandwich.

English has a thousand words for sorrow.

Into every life some snow must fall.

I'm Full of Soup said...

The ice cream yes- but never been with an Eskimo woman so can't really say.

ndspinelli said...

Is an Eskimo pie like a cow pie, just frozen?

deborah said...

Is there anything there's only one name for?

chickelit said...

Deborah: Alas, even ununoctium has an alias: eka-radon.

chickelit said...

Eka-radon is unrelated to yashu's "eek-a-mouse"

Darcy said...

Love Eskimo pies.

How Come I'm Not Named In This Post Though? :)

And as anyone here seen Smilla's Sense of Snow? Odd movie that I liked.

Sorin said...

Eskimo pies don't have landing strips.

Eskimos have only two words for laugh and both of them mean sexual intercourse.
