At the strange little ice cream shop down the street.
"Do you have birthday cake ice cream?"
"No! It's winter."
"???"
"We only have that one in the summer, you know, birthday season."Birthday Season?
Has anyone ever heard of this?
@futurebird Teachers get summers off, maternity hospitals get winters off.

I bet if you go back by there tomorrow, the shop will be gone, because the moon has moved to the wrong phase, or something.

Most ice cream shops will give you a little spoon or wooden stick with a taste of a flavor to help you make up your mind.
I thought that was the whole point of having a "parlor" and not just going to buy a pint.
@futurebird @tthbaltazar @mcc wow. Never have I encountered a shop that allowed tasting flavors without buying.

@futurebird Maybe they mean ice cream season?

@futurebird no, it sounds weird.

That would make more sense. I mostly went in since their hours are so erratic and I was shocked they were open on such a cold day.
But I thought I'd take a pint home and surprise my husband.

@futurebird my friend worked at a restaurant in college that had amazing food at insane prices. Really unpredictable hours and odd practices. Very similar vibe.
Turned out to be a mob front.

@futurebird Maybe it makes sense from their perspective. For them, as an ice cream shop, summer would be birthday season, because that's when people buy birthday cakes *from them.* They probably don't get a lot of people asking for birthday ice cream cakes during the winter.

@futurebird just realized you said birthday cake ice cream not ice cream birthday cake..... But maybe the logic still works.

OK. except it's really really good. They make it fresh and only take cash.
@futurebird @akamran As someone else said “mob front”

@futurebird
In the upper Midwest, I have seen menus that list"Chili (in season)".Chili season is winter because that's when people want to eat chili supposedly.

@futurebird shout out to all my homies who were born outta season

With this shop... that would make sense.
They have a bunch of strange rules:
* cash only!
* you can only taste flavors AFTER paying for a cone
* they have milkshakes but won't put them on the menu and act like they are secret?And their hours are just... IDK. I went in since I just go in there when I see they are open.
Sometimes they just have two flavors, sometimes ten.
@futurebird @mcc shakes are pretty labor intensive, especially if you use old school tools to make them.

@farah @futurebird probably more likely than a true Sweeney Todd scenario ;-)

@futurebird can you have strawberries in February? Of course! Are they in season? No, and you can taste it.

@buzz si grazie pensavo a Lucio Magrì e l'eutanasia in un paese UE a costi popolari per non svenare gli eredi

Emu2 is a x86 and MS-DOS emulator that runs in a Linux terminal. Launching an MS-DOS program from the Linux shell is as simple as executing `emu2 myprog.exe`.
It reminds me of this CP/M emulator with a similar approach. For example, to run WordStar from the Linux shell execute `cpm ws`.
