Smoothies

When is a smoothie not a smoothie?

When its a lumpie. But this is not what was happening to Pop's smoothies today. They were very smooth. What they were was thickies. i.e. too thick to drink without a spoon. Attempted method of drinking - tip head back, open mouth really wide because you are afraid the ice cubes will fall down hit you in the face and fall out of the glass, wait for the contents to slide down the side of the glass (this is like watching that particular type of lava creep down the side of the volcano - thick sticky stuff that moves very slowly). Finally when your saliva is really running you have to resort to getting a glass of water. The remainder of my thickie is sitting in the bottom of the glass. It'll probably be like fool in a minute, all I need is some whipped cream to put on the top.
