Brutal, brutal week. Bru-taaaal! To placate myself, I went out for a frosty, frosty milkshake, at one of my local hangouts, the Deluxe diner. Famous for its shakes; it even has a separate page on the menu, listing each flavor in a different font (strawberry gets Pac-Man lettering).
I kept it simple: chocolate (I tend to self-mediate with cocoa). It was just delicious.I did note, however, that Deluxe—not the finest restaurant in NYC by any stretch of the imagination—charges a minimum of $6.25 for its shakes. It wasn't so long ago that a $5 shake was considered extravagant. To wit:
(Damn, I love that movie. My favorite ever BQT question about Pulp Fiction: Q: In the Bravo television edit of Pulp Fiction, what character is entirely removed from the movie?)
Milkshakes are terrific. They're one of those consumables that has (or had) a different name depending on where in the USA you enjoyed one: milkshake, frappe, cabinet, velvet. Mass media has basically elevated milkshake to national hegemony (much like it did for sneakers), but a trivia lover can appreciate the history. Plus, you can always count on milkshakes to make a significant supporting role in the zeitgeist every few years; I really dislike the Kelis song, but it was good for a clever pop-cultural meme. And if it weren't for milkshakes, that climactic scene in There Will Be Blood wouldn't have been quite so bat-shit, disturbingly wacky.
And by the way, contrary to rumor, the reason McDonald's calls its milkshakes just shakes is not because they don't contain milk. Milk is the No. 1 ingredient. I'm not sure why the substance is removed from the name, but McShakes are lacking another supposedly vital shake element: ice cream. Your McServer combines something called "shake mix" with milk and flavoring. Yum. Yet another reason McDonald's represents all that is soulless and wrong in the history of humanity.
And milkshakes represent all that is soulful and right. Believe it.

Jordan Black Flip 3s, We did this through our owner, Mr. Melnyk, who forwarded it to Gary Bettman. I know Mr. That means first identifying the problems that they are trying to solve and then answering whether they are the right ones to be solving it. {tag: Yeezy Cloud White Size 4}

What I find most troubling is that the diagnosis can put a child on a tragic life trajectory, particularly when it comes to children of color in low income communities. First, it's ODD.
Seven Yorkshire Landscape Videos can be enjoyed in its own right, as a luxuriously sensuous visual ride unlike any our automobile dependent city has to offer. {tag: Black White Stripe Yeezy}Air Jordan 1 Grey Black Crimson, And while I'd asked readers on social media how they were doing and I'd asked my radio show audience how it was coping, it struck me that I hadn't really turned to the people I love most to ask them, "How about you? You guys OK?"You know, what Mrs. I've never covered a stronger competitor over the course of their college career. The conversation eventually turned toward the Oregon point guard's preparation for the WNBA Draft and the bidding war between sneaker companies for her endorsement.

But if she really wants to fight this, and only needs seed money to keep the legal challenge going, I'm willing to stand up and help her and help history. I'll pay off her $99,000 in debts. All I ask is a copy of the tapes, and her agreement not to make any deals requiring their destruction. (Michael Kors Selma Black Mini Crossbody Bag)
MERCER: It was a season to remember for the Bears (27 9, 14 4 Atlantic Sun) in 2013 after making past 2012 Cinderella Florida Gulf Coast in the A Sun tournament title game and then defeating second seeded Duke in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Many people across the country caught Mercer fever, the same way they did when FGCU ran past Georgetown a year prior. But moving over to the Southern Conference in the offseason isn't the only thing that is on the mind of coach Bob Hoffman. (Black And Neon Michael Kors Bag)
Fashion Coach Bags Outlet, We are a group of Uzbek activists citizens concerned about the future of our country. We write because we understand the Swiss government may soon negotiate the return of several hundred million Swiss francs that were stolen from the people of Uzbekistan through corruption in the country telecom sector and hidden in Swiss banks. We urge the government of Switzerland to ensure that these assets are returned responsibly to Uzbekistan.
Re: location. Here is the small row of shops, next to Barton Court, which you should encounter when you drive to the coast at Barton on Sea. Go to the main car park, which is nearby, just a short distance to the west of these shops. (Michael Kors Black Purse With Studs)
