Ok, what flavor is March?
Think think think.
Well, lets see.
March comes in like a lion
but goes out like a lamb.
Except in some places where the lion comes in as a lion and goes out like a different lion. Like one has a mane and the other doesnt have a mane.
Or like where march comes in like a wildabeast and goes out like a golden retriever [img]wink.gif[/img]
Wait, what was I talking about?
Oh, yeah. Ice cream.
Ok, well there is a parade in March.
And we do have the circus as well?
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]
Ok, there are floats in a parade?
And the circus does a parade as well when they start the show.
That's it.
Floats!
Root beer, Cream Soda, whatever you like.
And in the spirt of spring, as always...
Chips, chunks, dips, dunks, swirls, twirls, cones, cups, shakes, malts, popcicles, push-ups, sprinkles, sundaes, zebras, bars, sammi's and everything else are in as well.

More to come.
