Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for August 04, 2022

Do people still remember those old ice cube trays?

I still have ice trays like that, but I don’t use them. They take up too much space in the freezer.

So are you gonna be performing with Chubby Checker?

I think I must be missing something here…why does it matter to ice cubes?

Same as it ever was…

A twister in ice cubes???

cold one

I don’t think we’re in the freezer anymore, Toto

COOL..!!!

LOL

One of the classic scenes in the 1993 movie “Independence Day” is when Jeff Goldblum, who is the environmentalist-save-the-planet character, opens the refrigerator freezer compartment, pulls out the ice cube tray, sees that it is empty, puts it back in and slams the door.

That was the big problem with ice cube trays — only one person in our house ever figured out how to fill them.

Aunty Em! Uncle Henry! Toto! It’s a twister! It’s a twister!

Little know fact. This was actually a scene from the movie AIRPLANE, that got left on the cutting room floor.

The ones with the handle worked marvelous!

I love Mr. Parisi’s twisted sense of humor.

Such a delightful double entendre.

Looks like only 1 casualty.

A hint for iced coffee…. put coffee into one of those trays, and freeze it. Use the coffee cubes, instead of regular ice, so when it melts, you won’t water-down the coffee.
