@morrick Yup! That guy!

When I was little, Baskin-Robbins offered two kinds of cone: the pointy brown kind (I always got) and the flat-bottomed "cup" type made of yellow-orange edible styrofoam. One day mother asked if I'd like to try the cup for a change, and I said yes.
For a long time I thought that kind of cone was called "cupforachange". Nobody thought to correct me, because in conversation it never sounded wrong.

@morrick @octothorpe I still really like Who’s Holding Donna Now? happy bubblegum pop sound and all.

@Isocat Nice!

@octothorpe @morrick Which family am I thinking of that pretty much all the siblings ended up wrecked, at least one dead, from drugs? I thought it was DeBarge and the lead singer was one of them. I think one of the brothers died, and the sister completely burnt out for a while.
No, not the Jacksons. I remember them.

@octothorpe @morrick Right, it was Bobby who died not El. And Bunny burnt out for a long time on cocaine. That family did not do very well in their personal lives.

@octothorpe @Isocat Morton had a BR franchise for years. The ORIGINAL corporate offices were sticklers. Some franchisees wanted to start making waffle cones in store, others wanted to sell coffee and coffee/ice cream stuff. Corporate said NO because those smells, particularly coffee might alter the taste of the ice cream. They left SO MUCH money on the table.
