Haagen Dazs?  Give me a break; while I'm still waiting for them to
import one of those fabled Toscanini's to the DC area, perhaps I should
point out that Maryland probably has more ice cream roots than any
other region in the US.  Not only do we have an abundance of high-quality
(as opposed to high glitz) ice cream places, we have historical
precedence - the first documented ice cream in the New World was eaten
here.  But wait...I digress.

Yes, I've been hearing about this Jolt for some time.  Yes, David
Letterman didn't look completely insincere when he took a swig on the
air and said "gee guys, let's do TWO shows tonight..."  So, a bunch of
us are still mulling over this grandiose plan of getting an 18-wheeler,
booking up to Rochester, and cleaning Wegman's out of the stuff.
Driving?  No problem...the facilities director here was born to drive
trucks.  Better still if we can find Jolt's manufacturer.

At this point, I probably should say a big "thank you" to Coke if they're
out on the net somewhere, specifically to the Mid-Atlantic Coca-Cola
Bottling Company, for the several dozen cases they donated to the staff
of the 1986 Explorer Presidents' Association Congress.  Thank you
especially from us in the Shows Staff, which pulled enough allnighter
specials to blow most of the cases away after the first few days.

And a small request...next time, no Tab, okay?
