The Great Distraction of 2010 ...with a little help from my friends.

Some friends came over to aid in our epic quest. We set forth cleaning and re-arranging the Garage in preparation of using the space as storage for everything that's been left in the house. Halfway through the process we... WHAT!? 15 year old Astronaut Ice-cream!! p_O


...may have gotten a little distracted.


We have to EAT this!!!


Some people just don't know how to have fun.


Fear? Trepidation? These monkeys prod the ancient artifact attempting to devise the best method to obtain the treasures within!


Ah! A solution has been found!


15 year old Neapolitan Astronaut Ice Cream! We are seconds away from nostalgic bliss!


We were supposed to be posing with our bounty, but Chris decided he couldn't wait.


It's hard to tell, but this is a chunk of the chocolate flavor.


Down the hatch!


My brain: "I'm not sure what I'm tasting right now, but it's definitely not good. p_O
Chris' brain: "blrraaagggggghhhhhghghghhhhhhhhh"


Naturally. This had to happen.


Success!


Hrm... I wonder how the Strawberry will taste..


Wonderful Bliss!! (Translation: "It tastes like balls.")


Trying it in it's truest form..


Oh! Let me sing about how the different combination of flavors dance on my tongue! Joy of Joys! Oh, Holy of Holys#!&^!! *blrraaagggggghhhhhghghghhhhhhhhh*


And near the end of what will forever be known as, "The Great Distraction of 2010". One of the Knights of Parkwood heard the exaltations of bliss and merriment emitting from the Estate and dropped his heroic duties to partake in history.






Despite a slight unsettling of our stomachs immediately afterward, I am happy to report that no horrific side effects occurred from this day.

And after all the fun that was had, our goal for the day was reached!

To top off this wonderful day Sir David Andrew of Sandwichberg discovered...


Artifact of Note
#07212010-001

The fortune reads, "You are one of the people who 'goes places in life.'"

I honestly feel this find was quite beautiful because it really speaks to everyone involved. My brother and his family because they literally moved away, and those of us moving into the Estate and the opportunities that come with it.

May more momentous days such as this day continue to bless us with their presence.

  2. How did you figure that the Ice Cream was 15 Years old?

    It's got a label from a computer company on it... I think I got that during Comdex in November 1999.
