@Admins- Do you have any pets?
Not right now, unless you count the bunnies that live in our backyard and eat seeds spilled from the bird feeder. I have had cats in the past.

@Admins, will you tell us the Blue Moon Ice Cream story?
OH, I guess it's a good story for Halloween! It was a cool dark October night . . . . Our neighborhood was having a block party. When it was time for dessert, I hurried home then back with a half gallon of Blue Moon ice cream. I'd seen Blue Moon flavor when on vacation in Wisconsin, but never in Illinois, where I live, until just a few weeks before the party. So I was excited to share it with the neighborhood.
I put it on the buffet table, then hurried across the yard to tell some friends that I'd just put it out and to come quick to get some before it was all gone. As I said, it was dark, and in my haste I tripped over a wooden beanbag toss game and fell, gashing my leg and breaking my right wrist. And I'm righthanded. So I blame my misfortune on the Blue Moon and have never bought it again. But I did learn to be more careful to watch where I am going!

I wonder why we love this story so much. Probably because its a good lesson, and an introduction to a new ice cream! It always appears on every "ask the admins" thread. It's part of the CB lore.

Two questions, @Admin:
Now that you no longer buy Blue Moon ice cream, what is your favorite flavor?
What's your favorite crayon color?
Cappuccino gelato. But I can't name one favorite crayon color. I like many shades of blue and purple. (And I'd say that comes from my love of lakes, streams, etc., NOT the blue moon flavor!)

Ooho! The terror of Wisconsin Ice Cream!! (And yes, I did mean to capitalize ice cream! Ice cream from Wisconsin deserves capitalization!)
On vacation in Wisconsin, my favorite ice cream flavor is called, if I remember right, Sneakers. An unappetizing name, but it's chocolate ice cream with swirls of caramel and chocolate-covered peanuts. I guess the name is derived from Snickers, which may be copyrighted by the candy company.

@Admins
What's your favorite movie(s), T.V. shows, and are you guys around our age? Just curious! :)
We're a variety of ages. I have many favorite movies, especially some of the older ones. And I don't watch any TV shows regularly, but I am interested in good documentaries and sport competitions.

We're all adults or various ages.I don't know the others ages, I never asked. And I doubt they know mine.
