reesetee How funny! My siblings and I used to do that when we were kids, but I haven't thought of it in years. :-) Dec 29, 2009
dontcry which - I like to do that as well. It's like making your own soft-serve. I only do it with plain ice creams, though -- not with chunky ones. Dec 29, 2009
frogapplause I like to add milk and stir it up to make a bowl milkshake. I only eat chocolate-chip ice cream, btw.
Dec 29, 2009
whichbe This might sound weird but I really enjoy taking a spoon and whipping up the ice cream in my bowl for a minute before eating it. Something about the texture tastes better for me. Dec 29, 2009
reesetee I think Wallace Stevens should be Wallace-Stevens. Dec 24, 2009
Prolagus You should bracket (and pronounce) hy-per-phen-til-ating. Dec 24, 2009
PossibleUnderscore Don't you think Hyphen would be rather offended by this over-use?
haha gangerh! Nice one. Dec 24, 2009
uselessness Such merry-making! Dec 23, 2009
gangerh I'm hy-per-phen-til-ating with all this. Dec 23, 2009

milosrdenstvi Should we not call it a punctuation-mark? Dec 23, 2009
rolig It's ironic that this little punctuation mark, which is simply trying to bring things together in order to avoid misunderstandings, should be so divisive. Dec 23, 2009

PossibleUnderscore Ah...if you find out who this 'hyphen-hater' is be sure to tell me!

dontcry This "guy" had a list or his name had something to do with superfluous hyphenating....he/she was funny-serious about it. Dec 23, 2009
PossibleUnderscore hyphen Dec 23, 2009
dontcry There was a wordie who had issues with hyphens, as I remember. It was pretty funny. Can't remember who, though... Dec 23, 2009
yarb I love hyphens! They should be called high-funs. Dec 23, 2009
milosrdenstvi I love hyphenating things like this. It makes me feel so wonderfully Victorian. Dec 22, 2009
