I can't decide if that's awesome or just sad.

You know what would have made that perfect? If it was some sort of lime or kiwi flavor popsicle.

from my head, to my feet, yeah.

"What was unsettling was that the fluid just kept coming...It was quite a lot of fluid."

Is that your caption for the Yanks photo?
Not bad.

Hmm, for some reason my Trackback was refused:

Man, I received a spam-mail with a subject line frighteningly like that this morning.

The childlike part of me thinks "Cool - popsickle surfing!" and the grownup part of me thinks "Ugh, all that sugary mess to clean up."

"erect". Heh.

I will, of course, decide in favor of "awesome" if that story appears on the news with Def Leppard playing in the background.

"What was unsettling was that the fluid just kept coming...It was quite a lot of fluid."

God, I thought it was a quote from the Michael Jackson trial.

When I saw the popsicle on the news this morning, I thought "Man, that is going to make a SERIOUS mess when it melts."

Unfortunately, my local hick station didn't report the flood, they only showed one bike messenger falling in it and one guy licking it (EWWWWWWWWW!!!) ... and it was in the 'feel good' spot at the end of the broadcast.

"and it was in the 'feel good' spot at the end of the broadcast."

That's making me laugh out loud - only a local news channel would consider a sticky nasty sugary mess from a failed world-record attempt to be "feel good" news.

and some guy licked it? Like, right off the ground? Ewwwwwwwwwww.

"The 25-foot-tall, 171/2-ton treat... unexpectedly quickly melted in the midday sun Tuesday."

Unexpectedly? UNEXPECTEDLY!? What does ice cream usually do in the sun? what a bunch of morons.
