Alright folks, let’s talk about milkshakes today. I know, random, right? Well, not completely.
You see, my gorgeous wife Brooklynne has been quoting the magnificent film “There Will Be Blood” all morning. Her favorite line this morning has been “I drink your milkshake. I drink it up!” This made me start thinking about milkshakes, & I’m gonna tell you something people, I like milkshakes. Oh! I do. I do. As I started thinking about milkshakes, I realized I haven’t had one in a while. This makes me very sad because I like milkshakes, which I did already say before. A properly made milkshake is one of the best things in all of Christendom.
“But Sam, what constitutes a properly made milkshake?”
Well, I’ll tell you what constitutes a properly made milkshake.
“Good. Because that’s what I asked you to tell me.”
Ok now, imaginary guy who I’ve created to give a sense of dialogue & playful banter to my post, we can do without your imaginary sarcasm.
“Oh! I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt your insightful & poignant post about friggin’ milkshakes.”
Hey now! That’s out of line. You know I’ve been a little insecure lately about my blogging. You didn’t have to take it there.
“Now we’re getting somewhere. See Sam, that was an honest & real statement you just made. Thank you for sharing that. There there.”
*sniff* It’s just that I feel so much pressure to write deep & thoughtful posts like I used to. *sniff*
“And where is that pressure coming from Sam?”
I know, I know. It’s coming from myself.
“I’ll tell you what buddy. Why don’t we continue this later?”
*sniff* Buh, buh, but why?
“Well because I’m sure this has gotten very very weird for the people reading this. I mean you started talking & then brought me into it for some laughs, which was a great move, by the way,”
Thanks.
“and then you got real touchy about an obviously playful & harmless comment that I made. Now its gotten really serious & you started the whole thing talking about milkshakes for crying out loud. Not to mention you’re the one typing all this. These people know I don’t really exist & yet you’re having a pretty in depth conversation with me. Do you see why its probably gotten very odd for your readers out there?”
*sniff* *chuckle* *deep breath* Yeah, I guess you’re right. I should probably just tell what makes a proper milkshake, ask them to tell me what their idea of a perfect milkshake is, & then just get outta here.
“Good call.”
A proper milkshake has dutch chocolate ice cream, 2% milk, & a whole lotta malt.
ok, I have no idea how to make milkshakes. but I lol’d through this post. Also, what the crap was the guy talking about in that movie with drinking the dude’s milkshake? I’m not even going to write down my guesses here. (mind you, i’ve never seen the movie)
He’s talking about taking the oil from his property without actually buying the property. It’s a great film you should see it.
You had one extra malt when you were here in phoenix
Vanilla ice cream with ANY chocolate candy bar crushed up and added to it–hands down. The best would include Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, Snickers, Toffee Nut, or Oreo (I guess Oreo would fall under the cookie category). Anyway, I love milkshakes too, Sam.
