I usually prefer mint chip ice cream, but some cookies 'n' cream does sound appealing right now.

Anybody else think the undead would make soap operas more interesting? I can't stand soap operas, but I'd watch them if they had undead.

I myself love Cookies and cream icecream, i get myself a carton every year on my birthday.  :mowcookie
Also the thought of Undead in soaps is interesting though it would make some of the amnesia plots a little more complicated.

Best thing about Cookies and Cream Ice Cream? Finding a mostly intact Cookie in it. Second best thing? Cookies and Cream Milkshakes. If Abel Made Milkshakes that looked like him, he'd make a fortune.

I would, but the local store isn't open for a few more hours, and by then I'll be working.  :mowsad

I actually tried cookies and cream ice cream because of Abel's nickname and it's now my favorite kind of ice cream. I have a tub in my freezer.

Undead on T.V., Cookies and Cream ice cream and Abel watching soaps.

Not very much going on this page. But oddly enough, that doesn't make today's page any less interesting. :)

Segue, dammit. It's not a two-wheeled gyroscope.

... Although, given how Ambaargh flits around, that's not entirely inappropriate. :-/

one thing i've concluded is that most anime i've seen appears to be some sort of soap opera. then again i'm a little foggy on what makes a soap opera an soap opera in the fist place.

I think it has something to do with the series of vaguely connected episodes focusing on the dramatic and emotional relationships between multiple characters. Like Seinfeld or The Big Bang Theory or I Love Lucy.

Oh, also, Laugh tracks. That's a must.

Mind you, I could also be confusing soap operas for something COMPLETELY different, but meh.

Tenchi Muyo and Marcos strike me as being soap operaish but then so does Yu-gi-oh

A soap opera is an open-ended serial drama (or melodrama, more likely) television or radio program.  In most shows, dramatic or comedic, when the episode ends everything goes back to normal.  Soaps, on the other hand, don't do that.  They continue the stories over multiple episodes, thus encouraging the listener/viewer to "tune in tomorrow for the next episode of..."  There's a large ensemble cast, and multiple story-lines involving overlapping members of the cast.  Characters come and go, but the stories keep going.  Some story-lines do end, but there are others going on simultaneously that keep the audience hooked.

Soap operas started as radio productions in the 1930s.  They were aired during the daytime hours, usually daily (except weekends), and were aimed at housewives.  They got the name "soap opera" from the fact that they were usually sponsored by soap manufacturers.

Examples would be General Hospital, The Days of Our Lives, Dallas, Peyton Place, and Dark Shadows.  On the other hand, shows like I Love Lucy, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and The Simpsons are situation comedies.  They're comedies, first off, and they all push the Big Reset Button at the end of each episode.  Story-arc-based shows, like Babylon 5, don't qualify because they have a definite beginning, middle, and end to the story.

Dear old Wikipedia has an article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap_opera) about it.

Soaps can be quite addictive.  Heck, when I was a kid I used to get home from school and turn on Dark Shadows, which was on its original run.  I had to know what Barnabas and that naughty, naughty Angelique were up to!   :bat  I notice that in panel two Abel is getting rather involved.  :-)  BTW, that's one heck of a bowl of ice cream that boy's downing.  If he keeps that up, he's going to be putting on (a lot of) weight.  :pig   Good thing he's a shapeshifter.  :)

(Wow, I didn't expect to write a wall-o-text there.  Oh well.  :-) )

I thought that tacos were the approved offerings.

The other day, I saw a taco wagon.  The idea was that you would load it with hundreds of tacos and the makings and then tow it to a outdoor party.  Well, wouldn't Amber be an appropriate party?
