Suppose you were the cruelest person in the world. Not simply used-the-last-of-the-milk cruel, but really cruel. I’m talking evil. Like congress could pass an amendment banning you, specifically.
Well, I thought of a prank that could give you that rep.
Get a copy of the song the ice cream man plays, pop it in you car, crank it up, and drive slowly through a friendly neighborhood.
Excited children rush from every direction with spare change in their clinched fists, desiring nothing more than their favorite ice cream treat … only to see you in your non-ice cream carrying automobile smirking in your sordid joke. The children freeze. The tears come. The world ends.
If you use that idea, you’re really sick. Like, there’s something really wrong with you. The plan is 100 % evil. Worst thing possible next to abortion, anyways. I suppose there’s something wrong with me for thinking of it. I’ll have to confess to my brothers in Christ next small group.
What if the present were the world’s last night?

I saw that you had stopped by my site, and so I thought to drop a comment saying, “Thanks for stopping by!”
And btw, your entry was quite funny. But I guess that would mean I am a cruel person if I think so, am I right?
this is all rubbish! i am writing the greatest philosophy the world has ever seen! oh you will read it, very soon that is too.
Sounds like a good idea.

Re: your comment
I actually, am not a “true blue” homeschooler. In fact, I spent a year in public school, three years in a private school, and the remainder of my education at home. Yes, calling the public system a “real school” is a widespread problem. Often, it is for lack of better word.
You’ve never gotten a hard time about being homeschooled? Oh, that it would be the case everywhere. I often feel like a piece in a museum. Folks find out that you graduated from a home education and they want to examine you and scrutinize whether your education worked or failed.
I would have to disagree: I don’t think this fellow was “a bit off.” I think he was the whole way off.
I survived the encounter, thank you, and now have a great story to tell my grandchildren about the old days (when one was mocked for their education….oh, how the world has changed since then)
Many thanks for your comment.
you’re a sick sick man… and yet, I enjoy your thoughts
Your posts are very amusing.
But I must disagree with your comment on my blog. For me, highschool has been much, much better than middleschool.
And, yes, that is a wonderful cd.
Thanks for the comment!

Wait… Congress passed a LAW!?
That’s so unreal… too bad they didn’t really.
And what force on earth could possibly drive ANYBODY to do that. I mean… that’s lower then Al Quida (sp?) would go!!!
PS: Consider yourself confessed. : )
Hah. Dude, I wouldn’t do it to kids in the current Northern California heatwave, but it’d be sort of amusing to see.
Of course, then I’d pity the poor creatures and give them all popsicles, I suppose. >_<!
*push over*
I don’t know about the Northern California heatwave, but do it in central Oklahoma and you’ll have to pull a decaf latte out of your chest.
Yes, Chesterton is great. I’m actually Protestant, but Chesterton is brilliant nonetheless.
I feel like I’m supposed to write something really inteligent as a comment after reading that post because anything else sounds dorky compared to your writing. But I guess there’s nothing really intelligent to say besides the fact that I’m a complete stranger and I hope you don’t mind the intrusion. I found your site from a friend’s, from a comment where you wrote you were trying to find more christian friends on xanga, and that struck a chord, because I am also.
Anyway, your post reminds me of Ted Dekker. Have you ever read any of his novels?

Tiff
that is such an amazing idea.
i’m gonna have to do it.
do i know you?
*random props*
cool insight
Perhaps the children’s joyful expectations would outweigh the minor disappointment that followed. I think it sounds like an act of kindness. Just the sound of a passing ice cream truck gives me a sense of ephemeral happiness, even if I do not buy anything. In essence you are driving around filling people’s minds with images and memories of ice cream trucks and laughing children. How could that be considered evil?
I certainly agree, and I’m not about to deny her Christianity. It just seems like such a large difference, too much to handle. And part of me still thinks maybe I should reconsider.
