Just went to the local Castro Valley B-R last Wednesday evening with my boys - it was 31 cent scoop night & we waited in line for over 40 minutes.  I remeber I had 'Love Potion 31'.

Here's another article (with photo).  Will he be frozen between two banana halves, with 31 flavors, whipped cream and a cherry on top?

my wife's dad owned a BandR down at Lawrence Expy and Homestead in Santa Clara.  I used to go there in 7th grade, before I even knew my future wife existed!  My daughter now lives in the area, and we recently visited and they let Martha go in the 'back room' just for old times sake!

And of course it just occurs to me, after posting the above, that my current icon is pretty appropo!
