Extreme DR: Midwest Edition, Vol. 3
September 18th, 2006
I’m really big on catching killer digital photos (which are apparently more important than my life) while driving on major highways in Illinois.

I love how, in addition to legitimately cool flavors like Moose Tracks and Turtle Tracks, they threw in Vanilla and Butter Pecan. Ha, I scoffed. Vanilla? Yeah right! The term “really cool flavor” must have lost its sacredness!
But no, think about it. Vanilla ice cream is delicious. Visualize yourself taking a bite. Good, now let it sit there on your tongue. Don’t corrupt it. Just let the trickle-down effect kick in. You’re in heaven. Look, there’s some wireless Internet.
I favor Haagen Dazs and Dairy Queen’s vanillas, but Dean might be okay too. The truck art is a really smart ad. People might not order straight-up vanilla at an ice cream shop because their friends would think they were boring. But vanilla is the perfect flavor to buy for at home, where you can be as boring as you want.
Still, ix-nay on the Butter Pecan.
