Ahh that makes sense. I wonder when they stopped serving that item. I absolutely remember their regular sundaes and ate them all the time as a kid, especially with caramel sauce and chopped nuts. Yum.

LOL, roadside anything! As in, taking a leak behind bush!

Me: "Dad, I gotta go."

Dad: "You can hold for a while."

Me (15 minutes later): "Dad, I really gotta go!"

Dad: "We're almost there (30 minutes later)."

Me: Now hopping on one foot with a prostrate cramp (and I didn't even know what a prostrate was back then).

In a nod to more modern times, they were finally forced to stop calling that stuff "ice cream." Same with their "milk shakes." (Although I may be behind the times on the "ice cream" front.)

In some situations, just walking past the rabbit ears could improve or degrade TV reception quality.
