Before I read the recipe, I thought an apple pie smoothie would be like the “pie shakes” at a restaurant near me…
an idea whose time has NOT come, IMHO… and will never come, at least not to me.
…
It’s a small, West Coast coffee shop chain out of Oregon, Called “Shari’s”.
Not elegant dining but to my mind, a cut above Denny’s and IHOP, in that price range.
They have some pretty decent pie, and I guess nice milkshakes, though I haven’t had one.
But their signature “Pie Shake” features ice cream and syrup, tossed in the blender with a whole slice of pie.
No thanks.
…
Just imagine ordering a milkshake to go with your slice of blueberry pie, or even of already super-rich whipped-cream-topped banana cream pie.
Everybody would gasp… “Wretched excess!”
But throw them in the blender together and suddenly it’s OK?
…
Drinking ground up pie crust through a straw doesn’t sound appealing either….
though to each his own, I guess.
I can’t speak from experience cos I don’t plan on experiencing it.
“Dairy Queen got its start in small-town America. John McCullough and his son Bradley invented the soft-serve ice cream formula, and family friend Sherb Noble opened the first Dairy Queen in Joliet, Ill., on June 22, 1940, selling cones, sundaes and take-home pints.
… comes from HERE. There’s a picture of the very first Dairy Queen accompanying the article.
Mom wouldn’t be wearing a micro-mini at that one.
Mom isn’t wearing a micro-mini skirt at this one, either.
This ad shows the very late 1950’s at the earliest, very early 1960’s at the latest… my best guess is right about 1960.
After tail fins, before bouffant hair… skirts still below the knee. Guys using Vitalis, no hair past the neatly trimmed neckline, or on their foreheads, or upper lips.
…
Mom is wearing “short shorts“.
Even if you can’t tell by the artwork that it’s pants, not a skirt, everyone would just assume it was, because skirts didn’t rise to even an inch above the knee till the miniskirt shocked the world about 1965.
(No matter what you see in the movies, real 1920’s flappers wore skirts covering half the knee.)
The micro-mini was later…. some of the guys would have collar length hair, and mustaches, and we’d see some VW vans.
Even then, they weren’t as short as early 60’s short shorts or early 70’s hot pants.
I’m going to say you had the very good fortune to miss that issue.
I cannot remember the “punch line” ( you could call it that if you wanted to, I suppose ) as an exact quote, but it had to do with the utterance of a fat woman about an overflowing toilet.
I still shudder to think of it.
I did go looking for it, but no one has yet put it on the ‘net that I can find (it would stand out like a sore thumb, believe me).
Hey, an air guitar would be a great gift for Cleo.
Why is she complaining?
She can play it at all hours of the night, even if she’s never had a lesson.
She’ll always think it sounds perfect, with never a false note, and no one will ever complain…
That is, if she learns to do air singing, as well, so her howls are equally silent.
….
Hey… do you think we could get her an air bazooka?

nice head rest…..

I accept your fashion lesson.
I had even forgotten the movie that featured the song “Short Shorts”
My dad used to buy a bag full of Dilly bars!

Yay for Gahan Wilson.
The first example of Wilson’s “art” I came across fit right into my definition of obscene, and it’s never risen much higher.
Always a recommendation. ;-p
?
Gahan Wilson did cartoons for Playboy, but I can’t recall anything close to “obscene.”
Not even nudes or sexual innuendo.
