OK, time for a flavor of the month.
Gotta be something that has something to do with February or one of the things going on in the month.

Well let's see.
Groundhog Day?? [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]
Dont think I'll find any association there (actually maybe I did [img]wink.gif[/img] )

Valentines Day??? Kinda has it's own thang with candies and such. Dont really wanna combine the two.

Think think think.
You know, I was born in Indy and I am a HUGE BEARS FAN (in case you hadnt noticed, so this years Super Bowl is gonna be great for me. It would have been nice to see the Bengals get a shot at it this year though. Maybe next year,
Gonna be Great to be able to watch my team play on Super Bowl Sunday again, it's been a long time. Goonna have to decide which of my Bears gear I should wear that day. You know I pretty much wear my Bears gear in some way shape or form every single sunday during the season. Super Bowl Sunday is a Bears Sunday! That is so awesome.
Wait a minute.
Super Bowl Sunday!
Or Super Bowl Sundaes!
THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SUNDAES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

What a great idea.
The month of February is a month of Sundaes!
Any kind of sundae, any way you want.
Freedom of choice baby, that's what it's all about.
You can have a pickles and sauer kraut sundae if you want (but I wouldnt recommend it [img]graemlins/gulp.gif[/img] )

As always all chips chunks dips dunks swirls twirls and... ( you know the rest) are in as well!


Still more to come.
