Briefing on the Ben & Jerry's graveyard of flavors and the poems dedicated to their
demise...He read the Cannoli flavor poem on my voicemail and it sounded so yummy I

announcement, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream dedicated a sundae to him: The "Maple Powered
Howard," Vanilla ice cream, maple-flavored whipped cream, maple syrup and
walnuts....Christina Jamison

props are one book and one 22nd Amendment to the Constitution. Everything else is pure
lung. http://msnbc.com/news/927935.asp?0dm=C1FRO
