The Ice Cream Man Ruins The Thunderbirds

The Ice Cream Man likes to capitalize on the people who try to freely attend the Air Show in parks and parking lots.  The Ice Cream Man is a menace.  He leaves a wave of cheers and screaming children behind with that incessant tinkling repeating horror melody of his.  The Ice Cream Man is a unique suburban threat, worse, much worse, than the magazine sales trade - or even strip malls or even Wal-Mart or alcoholism or bullmastifs.  I wish I could throw those nail chains in the road to stop him from entering the precious places where we still aren't the targets of marketeers - forced to choose some treat.  Today he preyed on parents trying to see the Thunderbirds --- who missed the Thunderbirds because my child did NOT get an ice cream from that lurking Mickey Mouse terrorist.   My child was one of the ones crying in his wake - the devil in an ice cream truck.
