We all scream

That, my friends, is a mountain of Ben & Jerry's. It's not a great picture, but you can probably see that there are 16 cartons and 15 varieties (we doubled up on Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream, naturally (I almost typed "natch" but restrained myself)), also known as a "Half Baskin-Robbins" (rounded down). After this photo was snapped, they were all promptly devoured by 20-25 people at a work meeting earlier this week. (They were purchased using some coupons sent to one of my colleagues who rocked a B&J's manager's world with outstanding service a few weeks ago.) (Lots of parentheticals for an opening paragraph.)

Ben & Jerry's, of course, is well-known for their creative flavor combinations, often with accompanying punny names. When it comes to joke ice cream flavors, though, I prefer to riff off of the classics, like Reverend Lovejoy did years ago. In fact, building off of the good reverend's "Commandmint" and "Bible Gum," here are some more old school flavors with a religious swirl. (Mmmm....religious swirl...)

--Rocky Road to Damascus
--Pharaoh's Cookies 'N Dream
--Butter Pecanaan
--Moose Tracting
--Nea-Paul-itan
--Elisha's Straw-bear-y
--Fudgement Day Ripple
--Captain Spumoni
--Chocolate revelation

Speaking of which...I know Groundhog Day was last week, but revelation is once again the topic of this week's Sunday School lesson. In fact, most of the assigned reading is a repeat from last week. Where last week was more focused on the "why" of personal revelation, this week is devoted to the "how." In other words, there will be a lot of talk about burning bosoms (see D&C 9:8). You know what's good for calming a burning sensation in your chest? Ice cream! But don't eat too much, too fast, or you'll get brain freeze, which inevitably leads to a "stupor of thought" (D&C 9:9). See you in class! It's sure to be a real--wait for it--ice cream Sunday!
