    Boredons are often found clustered in great numbers around any conversation having to do with Barry Manilow.

      There are some very interesting facts about Barry Manilow that you probably don't know.

        I agree ranch, but I'll have mine as a double shot on the rocks.

        I figure if I get enough boredons in me then I'll be able to understand our politicians, esp the one's running for pres..

        Ok down the hatch....

        Damn that's a boring drink.

        Maybe a little touch of Capt Morgan and lime would help.

        Now that is better.

        hummm..... how come Al Gore & GW-2 makes sense now!?

          These things are so small and everywhere around us. Often one isn't aware of them until they are heard.

          BTW, when was cantaloupe ice cream invented?

            Wendell S. Arbuckle, a professor of dairy science at the University of Maryland from 1949 to 1972 and well-known ice cream fanatic is credited with inventing cantaloupe ice cream in 1966.

            Stan Zafran of Denise's Ice Cream in Columbus, Ohio also claims to have independently invented cantaloupe ice cream in 2007.

            Ben & Jerry's has been selling cantaloupe ice cream since 1995, though they do not claim to have invented it.
