With the history of Ben & Jerry's slightly funny celebrity flavors, starting with Cherry Garcia and Phish Food and Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream, the name of Willie Nelson's Peach Cobbler is disappointingly average. The Pulitzer Prize-winning Oregonian tries to counter the mediocrity with a celebrity ice-cream naming contest for a nominal prize. Send your entry with name, email, and physical address to this address (theedge@news.oregonian.com) by April 2nd. Some of my ice cream concepts that are less than Oregonian-ready are:
1. Morrissey's William, It Was Really Nothing Like Sherbet
2. Anna Nicole Smith's Double Methadone Tragedy
3. Prince's Purple Rain...Bow Sherbet
4. John Popper's Blueberry Traveller- Now, with hidden arsenal flavor!
or, John Popper's Obese Gun Nuts.
5. Robert Smith's Icing Sugar Smoothie
6. Michael Richard's N is for Nougat Swirl
7. Britney Spears' Oops, I'm Nuts!
8. Marilyn Manson's Mechanical Animal Crackers
9. Bin Laden's Rocky Roadside Bomb
10. John Travolta's Thetan Crunch
11. Beck's Mellow Golden Caramel
12. Prince's Caramel-Colored Funk or
Prince's Under The Cherry Spoon
13. Nick Drake's Pink Moon Pie
14. Snoop's Doggy Chow
Postscript: Well, the results came out and the winner of a motorized ice-cream scooper was for "Dick Cheney's Go Fudge Yourself." I guess the world's not ready for the truth!
