This summer and last I've heard icecream trucks driving around close by, but never in view. I know they're icecream trucks, because I can hear their metallic, electronic chimes. The thing is they don't play the standard icecream song, but rather songs that are familiar at first and then recognized later. They've been playing twinkle, twinkle little star, frosty the snowman, and others played at half speed apparently trying to disguise their source of music.

It seems as though the icecream song is tradmarked, but it just makes me think that pedophiles are making a half-assed attempt. I saw one of these trucks the other day. It wasn't a big, colorful van with the menu on the side like it aught to be. Instead it was a white rape van, one with the back windows blacked out, and a few vinyl stickers stuck on to let you know that it's supposed to be an icecream truck. It was being driven by an older guy who was leaning back with an arm hanging out the window looking like he was cruising around town trying to pick up women.
