Popsicle Woes
You have probably been blissfully unaware that the latest tactic being employed by teh Moooslims in their battle to establish a caliphate in the United States and to replace your neighborhood Hooters with a Falafel Hut is going on in Dearborn, Michigan, and involves ice cream trucks. To learn more, we must enter the strange world of Debbie Schlussel where a Mooslim wielding a scimitar lurks behind every potted plant.
Some of my fondest memories as a kid, hanging out with my Dad, are when we’d meet up with the neighborhood ice cream truck, during the hot summer, and he’d buy me one of my favorites: The Bomb Pop–red, white, and blue, it was patriotic, yummy, and cool on a hot day. And as you know, the only way to know the truck is coming is to hear its music.
…
And these Muslims–who don’t like American culture and want to shut it, and all American-style fun, down–have now succeeded in getting Dearborn Heights police to enforce old, never enforced noise rules to keep ice cream trucks out.
Why teh Mooslims have issued a fatwa against ice cream trucks is never explained by Debbie. I assume it must have something to do with the red, white and blue “patriotic” Bomb Pops which steel young boys and girls against the wiles of the jihad. Without those Bomb Pops, American boys and girls will be kneeling on prayer mats and facing Mecca faster than you can say Allahu Akbar.
Nor is the connection of the Muslims to the truck ban explained. Let’s roll the Debbie tape:
On Tuesday, the City Council is expected to adopt an ordinance that will allow ice cream vendors to ring bells only while they are selling their goods. . . .
Oh noes, has Mooslims gotten in ur city council in Dearborn Heights? Sadly, no! — see all teh Mooslims for yourself:
Tomorrow Debbie will explain how teh Mooslims are responsible for the glut of reality programming on the TeeVee this summer, the disappearance of the chocolate-covered PayDay candy bar, and the end of Laura Ingraham’s radio program.

Debbie-
First, what’s up, girl? Whatcha thinkin’ about? Want a drink?
Okay, anyway. How stone-cold stoopid do you have to be to mistake friggin NIMBYism for Teh Islam? What’s next? Homeowners Associations = The Caliphate? Volvos = Weapons of Jihad? Is this the new Liberal Fascism?
But I digress. Call me, Debbie.

We have an ice cream truck in our neighborhood. The only danger I see besides the sugar content is trying to get “Red Wing” out of my mind for the rest of the day. La, la, la, la,…make it stop!

Ice cream trucks = teh suxx0r.
These fuckers wait outside the school and start their shitty music as soon as the kids emerge, causing all the parents to roll their eyes. When we first moved in to our neighborhood (8 years ago) we didn’t know that there was an ice cream truck. As soon as it got warm, though, this fucker would drive by our house just as the 2 year old was starting his afternoon nap. Always woke him up, always.
Now, if the guy were to sell cold beers as well, that may be a different story.
Oh, yeah, Debbie is a crazy bitch that should be run over by an ice cream truck and taste her own blood.

Interesting. Seems like around my neighborhood all the ice cream trucks are being operated by the types of folks of which Lil’ Debbie would not approve. The Jihad pops are great.

-neocon pundits;

I’m surprised they’re allowed to call them “Bomb Pops” anymore.

I drove an ice cream truck one summer, last millenium. The music was a tinkly, digitalized version of Joplin’s ‘The Entertainer’ on an endless loop distorted by a cheap horn speaker. So, yeah, I’m guilty.
I got egged once and screamed at occasionally, but the dude (think numchucks guy from ‘Ghost World’) who stood in front of my truck Tiananmen Square-style blocking my progress until a cop warned him away wasn’t Muslim.
What say you, Debbie?
SpotWeld said,
June 13, 2008 at 17:05
I realize that I may be spouting some “conventional wisdom” here. But isn’t this “ice cream trucks vs. noise ordinaces” a topic that comes up every summer? It’s one of those human interest reports that floats around the newsrooms along with the “kids playing in the open firehydrants”, “10 tips on how to beat the heat” and “Why you shouldn’t leave your pets in the car on a hot day.”

OIC…It isn’t said, Teh Debster just knows it, probably thanks to the super-secret radio transmissions she receives through her tinfoil hat.
Uh-oh, I see her face working and turning red…must be getting ready to pull another blanket statement out of her ass:
Hm, care to cite some sort of reference to this going on? Or has the LIE-beral press conspired to keep the Muslim boot on the neck of the Dearborn Heightsians?

My God. I went to that linked article - my eyes!!
It is hard to overstate the level of that crazy.
The PC press-coverage doesn’t note that Muslims are behind it. But they are. Until they took over this city, which neighbors Dearbornistan, ice cream trucks never had a problem.
Muslims are also responsible for that ten pounds Debbie put on, because she never gained weight like that before from *just one* ice cream. Okay, maybe two. But it was hot! And anyway, it’s summer! I shouldn’t be gaining weight. Damn you jihadists!

Wow, even for stupidity, that Schlussel post is stupid. The article doesn’t mention Muslims at all. If it mentioned that judge David Turfe was involved in this decision at all, I missed it. And these people wouldn’t even know there was anything wrong with Turfe unless they were told — forgive the profiling, but he doesn’t even look Arab! I guess the reasoning here is that anything colored red, white and blue is an essential part of American life and identity, and there is no reason to oppose any part of American life and identity except for hating America, and… I’ve lost me.
I liked the first comment.
alli said,

That part of Detroit Metro has the highest concentration of Arabs outside the Middle East, I believe - but there’s no connection between that fact and this ice cream truck fiasco. So it’s just a stupid ad hominem argument. What a surprise.

What kid, what real kid must have a “patriotic” bomb pop? Sweet jumpin jeezus this skank is full of shit, the red, yellow and green ones were the only good flavor again, assuming you got stuck with getting nothing better than a shitty, frozen ice, bomb pop anyway.

But that hippity-hopping jungle music makes the darkies commit crimes and want to rape white women. It’s almost as bad as that rock and/or roll! Ice cream truck jingles on the other hand are Patriotic celebrations of capitalism and American can-do spirit. If only they would ban every type of music other than Pat Boone, John Phillip Sousa and Toby Keith…ah, what a Godly, Reaganly and Patriotic nation we would be! Hateful Liberal Dhimmis and there Un-Patriotic first amendment!

O’Boyle’s “screwballs” were the bomb. Sherbert in a plastic cup with a chalky gumball on the bottom. Covered at first with a paper lid, one was ‘cool’ in 1974 if you got it to stick to the back of the truck as it drove away. Came with a wooden spoon.
O’Boyle’s trucks just had a loud bell the driver hit with a hammer as he drove back then.
Today, now in Baltimore, Miss Twist comes by about 11pm every night, nearly year round. Plays Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head. Wait, could it be? Miss Twist is a Musselman, on Al Qaeda Time (11pm for ice cream?!? That’s CRAZY!)? Playing “United Flight 93 Keeps Falling On My Head”, merely 170 miles from Shanksville, PA?!?! I knew it!!111one!.

It was hot the other day, so I went to my neighborhood ice cream shop. The place has been in business for like 100 years. I asked the grandmotherly-type woman behind the counter for a scoop of banana and a scoop of strawberry in a cup. She handed me my order and I looked at it with amazement. Can you believe that my ice cream wasn’t red white and blue? How did she expect me to eat this ice cream that so clearly wasn’t Patriotically Correct? How had the internationaly caliphate get to this woman?
So, I shoved the Islamonazi ice cream in her dhimmi face and started a blog.

Sure, it’s just ice and flavor, but for the love of sweet infant Jesusphone, it is patriotic and delish.
Therefore, let it be known, that I give bomb pops a “what-what” (to use the vernacular of the day).

You laugh, but what none of you recall is that in the 1948 war over the establishment of Israel, the Israeli Irgun irregular terrorist forces primarily operated out of ice cream trucks.
Books could be filled with the anguished cries of Palestinian Arabs who rushed outside hoping to purchase a nice ice cream only to be gunned down in the streets.
For this reason, all Arab wars for the last decades have been ceremonially launched by the dropping of a popsicle stick by the senior commander.
None of this is well known outside certain knowledgeable circles.

“It’s interesting that the Muslim call to prayer, which blares from five in the morning to ten or eleven at night and preaches the supremacy of Mohammed, does not constitute noise pollution to these people. But ice cream trucks, that’s the problem.” -Debbie
“The law, which doesn’t address ice cream trucks, said vendors cannot draw attention “by use of horn, bell, whistle or other apparatus.” -The article she cites
Debbie, law school graduate, is apparently unable to read the law well enough to realize that it applies to vendors, not religious institutions.

Actually, as far as ice cream goes, my Dhimmi self has already been brainwashed by the Caliphate to prefer the evil Islamofascist ice cream of the Iranian regime:
Mashti Malone’s
The store belongs to two brothers, Mashti,and Mehdi Shirvani,who grew up Mashhad, a small town in northern Iran.
If their rosewater saffron icecream with pistachios weren’t so absolutely delicious, I’d turn them in for their suspicious co-opting of an honorable Amurkan name like Malone.
“We are not Malones,” says Mehdi, the lively younger brother, and salesman of the joint. “Do I look like a Malone?”

In the night he’s a star in the Milky Way
He’s a man of the world by the light of day
A golden smile and a proposition
And the breath of God smells of sweet sedition
Great Deceiver
Sing hymns make love get high fall dead
He’ll bring his perfume to your bed
He’ll charm your life ’til the cold winds blow
Then he’ll sell your dreams to a picture show

Our neighborhood ice cream truck plays “Daisy,” sounding not unlike H.A.L. as he’s shutting down…
I’d ban his ass from our neighborhood if I could, but that’s mostly because he hauls ass down the residential streets (where the, um, kids are) and spends a lot of time trolling Gas Works Park (not entirely a kid-friendly place, esp. at dusk) and the local junior high school.
While we’ve successfully purchased ice cream from him, we suspect that isn’t his primary product line…

Fuck all of you Bomb Pop haters. You fundamentally don’t get it.
A Bomb Pop is a great and beautiful dessert. But it requires an innocence of spirit to appreciate that all too many arty eaters either never had or lost a long time ago. It introduced flavors and colors into mainstream American culture that rarely get any attention at all and certainly not in the numbers that this icy treat got. Growing up in a strict vegetarian household it meant a helluva lot to me as a teenager to hear that repetetive verse from the theme from The Sting coming down the street on a hot afternoon.

Well guess what? You pinheads succeeded! Congratulations, you pathetic losers! You think you’re so hip and so discriminating in your taste, but you know what? You got nothing. Your crappy Dippin Dots culture can’t hold a candle to what happened between 1955-1987.

Hate to get serious but it’s strange that all the wingbags believe the bullshit about Muslims hating our western lifestyle.
In a recent international poll involving thousands and thousands of muslims in many countries, two startling points emerged:
1. They like our way of life in terms of our democracy and freedom - especially freedom of speech and equality among all citizens (ha ha, sure, well that’s the plan anyway).
2. The next thing they like best about us is our technology.
The people who conducted the survey were surprised by these two strong findings along with others.
I saw the discussion around this on our public affairs show, The Agenda, which runs weeknights at 8 ET on our public network in Ontario, TVO.org. I think you can catch the shows online as well after they’ve run. Worth checking out, they talk about lots of interesting stuff, one issue per show.

I’ll take Strawberry Shortcake for the win, Bob.
From the Website:
Pure refreshment! An artificially flavored strawberry center surrounded by artificially flavored vanilla ice cream and a crunchy cake coating.
Nothing says refreshment like artificial flavors!
Bomb Pops rulez!!!!!!1!1!!!!12

Man, I was just ragging on the guy yesterday. Feels kinda weird, a real WTF moment. Condolences to his family, he obviously was very dedicated to family.

My fondest memories are of purchasing White ice cream from the White ice cream man.
For the last twenty some years, the ice cream man has been the ice cream HOMBRE.
With their la raza reconquista crap theme spewing from cheap speakers. As if to ANNOUNCE the take-over of MY COUNTRY.
No shame at all.
Now, what is all this shit about Muslims? They don’t even HAVE ice cream. Too hot over there. And it’s against the Koran.
Stay Focussed.

No offense meant to pedestrian, but your pedestrian tastes are dragging down the latté factor of the entire left. At least step up to organic sherbets.
Yeah, you all call yourself liberals, but nothing scares you more than the thought of your daughter (or son!) sucking on a big chocolate popsicle. Fuck all y’all bitchez, you can suck on my lilly white jawbreakers.

Anybody remember White Lemon Bomb Pops, or is it just me?
No funny stripes, just sweet lemonade flavor.

Sadly, No, as I posted above, the Iranian ice cream cartel is powerful.
And, whoa! about Russert. NYTimes has the breaking news, but no story yet. WTF?

Are you telling me that this doesn’t count as food? Because I might have to change my diet.

My !*&^%$#! Home Owners Assn. sent me TWO letters about mowing my lawn and yanking weeds (they were dead wild-flowers). Grrrr! Was I angry!( But I do recall signing a contract agreeing).
They must be Muslems!

I was going to write a long, well-thought out rebuttal to the stupid.
But then my browser crashed halfway through.
So I’ll just stick with, “Fuck you, you stupid whore.”

My grandmother has been saying this for years. My grandmother is in her mid-seventies.
That’s got to be the first time I’ve seen something on this site that my grandma would agree with. :P

I guess Debbie doesn’t live where there are ice cream trucks anymore. NYC started the noise pollution ban, or at least was an early adopter, and it’s a beautiful, wonderful thing.
Around here, at least, ice cream trucks would park and sit on a corner in front of a project for half an hour plus, and leave that 15 second loop playing the whole time.
Holy fuck was that annoying.
As was mentioned, Mayor Mike did something right with that ban.

The people driving the trucks tend to be minoriy –dark skinned!– people. Immagrants who can’t cook (thereby starting a restaurant). Sounds more like discrimination against the drivers, rather than the bell.
