The Truth About Ice Cubesby Dr. Malcolm Zooter ![]() February 3, 2003 I've heard ice cubes scream
like unpleasant human beings when I dunk them into my drink. I'd say they're alive, don't you think? Formed in their trays like a nursery, living their lives brief and cursory, but is everything quite what it seems? What do they dream in their cold, frozen dreams? What could they teach us, if we were to listen, mesmerized by the glean of their glisten? Subtly speaking with clicks on my tumbler… Speak up! I think this one's a mumbler. The world's murky secrets revealed in the cold, cubic truths they conceal… This one knows why they shot Kennedy! Oh shit, he melted in my grenadine! Well this one won't look so glib once he's floating in my warm Mr. Pibb. I think he'll gladly spill his guts in answer to my who's, when's and what's. Yes, the truth now is growing far clearer than the ice cube I nailed to my mirror. The old, funky ones that smell like fish sticks are clearly the wise ice cube mystics. They tell me ice cubes form from the ether when ideas slow down for a breather and are trapped into cubes as they're frozen, until for a beverage they're chosen. They they're passed on to the drinker, who promptly then becomes the thinker of this now liberated idea (about a new haircut or a pet made of chia)! So if you see me chomping ice cubes en mass or you notice no liquid in my glass, don't think that my brain's gone on disconnect. I'm just eating my way to great intellect.
