We met at Baskin-Robbins. I had just won an ongoing battle with my mother to buy me a clown cone, a monstrosity that looks something like this: </p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5xddmexe61qz7ey0.png" width="451" height="307"/></p> <p>Clown cones were consistently stale and tasted like the freezer case, yet I have fond memories of devouring the frozen frosting niblets and leaving the rest. My mother, neurotic and suspicious of freezer cases in general, suspected they were old and more often than not our conversation on the way to Baskin-Robbins would begin with her alerting me that there would <strong>be no clown cones</strong>.</p> <p>But that particular day I was victorious, savoring my frozen niblets in the parking lot. That’s when I saw her. Jean Enersen. I had never seen someone from television in person before and it felt <strong>both odd and exciting</strong> to see her in public, carrying an ice cream cake. Not knowing what else to do and covered in frosting, I waved. She waved back, retrieving her sunglasses from her purse before driving off.</p> <p>A year later, I met <strong>Michael J. Fox</strong> after eating striped ravioli at his restaurant on Martha’s Vineyard. The taste of squid ink still lingers in my mouth.</p>http://onemoresalute.com/post/842431361http://onemoresalute.com/post/842431361Wed, 21 Jul 2010 16:00:00 -0700memory bankice creamMichael J.

As an adult, I recently found out this also works with Lara Bars. Disappointingly, neither Airheads nor Lara Bars carry the lively puns of their chewy packaged peer: Laffy Taffy.</p> <p>“What’s an owl’s favorite subject? - Owlgebra.”</p>http://onemoresalute.com/post/811116745http://onemoresalute.com/post/811116745Wed, 14 Jul 2010 08:09:00 -0700boys of my youthchewymemory bank<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5dmfzuxnD1qz7ek5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Happy birthday, mama. 59 looks good on you.
