Magnolia: Favorite kind of candy?

Haribo Twin Cherries. They are my unapologetic favorite. That said, I am fascinated by Cherry Mash, which I have never seen in the wild but by all descriptions is everything I like in one package.

Tulip: What kind of cake do I ask for on my birthday?

Ice cream cake with Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. But not that Carvel shit where there’s no cake. (That’s a fine ice cream treat, but is not ice cream cake.) The Baskin-Robbins kind where the ice cream gets all melted into the cake; that’s the stuff.

Locust: what’s your favorite book as a child?

Probably, let’s say, Where the Sidewalk Ends.

That’s a lie. A bald-faced lie. My favorite book was The Book Of Lists, which is exactly what it sounds like. Also I got really into Michael Eisner’s autobiography. I now realize that he tore out the beating heart of Disney Parks and consumed it so it’s not a favorite anymore.

Oh, and the Phantom Tollbooth. But largely because I have always wanted to work in a tollbooth.

And Star Trek novels until my mom realized they had sex in them and those got removed circulation.

Me and fiction, man.

Thanks @brin-bellway, and also @brentrx who sent me Magnolia as well.

Moar, people! Moar!

I thought the whole point of ice cream cake was that it was birthday cake for people who don’t like birthday cake! That’s why I always got Carvel cakes for my birthday back when I lived in America. They don’t sell them in Canada AFAIK, so we started making our own out of ice cream, brownies, often Canadian pseudo-Thin-Mints, and sometimes chocolate whipped cream.
