It is a simple soft serve ice cream cone covered in a topping known as Crunch Coat. Crunch Coat is made up of sprinkles, crushed peanuts, and magic crunchy things that can&#8217;t be explained. It is a fantastic treat and rare find.</p>
<p>You see, if a Dairy Queen franchise does offer the Crunch Cone, it usually can&#8217;t be found on the menu. You need to special order it, like you&#8217;re a celebrity. And the majority of Dairy Queens don&#8217;t even carry Crunch Coat any longer.</p>
<p>So, my mission is clear. To find the Dairy Queens across the Twin Cities metro area that carry the Crunch Cone. Calling and asking if they have the Crunch Cone is cheating. I will go there, ask, purchase, and take a picture with this magnificent and little known dessert.</p>
<p>If you have found a Dairy Queen that carries the Crunch Cone, feel free to take your own picture and add it to the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/1147424@N20/">Flickr group</a>. I&#8217;ll spread the word.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s get to work, people. Summer is winding down!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear acquaintances from high school,</p>
<p>It appears that you found this website by, creepily, searching for my name in Google. Please be aware that I have absolutely no interest in reconnecting with you.</p>
<p>Sorry to be so blunt, but I see no reason to waste your time or mine with idle chit chat. It would be a farce, and not the delightful English kind. You are no Colin Firth.</p>
<p>That is all.</p>
<p>Regards,<br />
Aric McKeown</p>

For those of you who aren&#8217;t part of the popular Facebook social networking site, I want to let you know that there has been new information discovered about &#8220;women.&#8221;</p>
<p>This information is brought to use by the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/flyer_board.php">Facebook Flyer</a> sidebar. Facebook Flyer obviously means &#8220;urgent breaking news delivery system for urgent emergencies that are breaking in the news.&#8221;</p>
<p>With the help of Facebook, I will soon be able to find these &#8220;women.&#8221; I wonder what they are like. Do they enjoy sports and smelling bad? Will they have a chin-up contest with me? Do they have a penis, like I do?</p>
<p>This news is all very exciting. Let&#8217;s all hope that &#8220;women&#8221; aren&#8217;t hunted to near extinction for their velvety pelts. Again. I could really use someone, who isn&#8217;t a man, to arm wrestle and eat pickled herring with.</p>

<p>Intrigued by the &#8220;real&#8221; and &#8220;actual&#8221; claims of another Facebook application in a sea of useless Facebook applications, I clicked on the <a href='http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2490151219&#038;b&#038;ref=pd' title='My Personality - Facebook Application' target='_blank'>My Personality</a> application link to find out who I was.</p>
<p>For those of your who are skeptical, let me put your mind at ease. You are but 20 questions away from unlocking the secrets of the inner you!</p>
<p>What does this &#8220;real&#8221; application say about my personality? By answering from &#8220;Very Inaccurate&#8221; to &#8220;Very Accurate&#8221; we can find out together!</p>
<ul><strong>Have a vivid imagination.</strong></ul>
<p>Does my imagination act clearly and vigorously? Sure, vut I&#8217;m no <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Mitty" target="_blank">Walter Mitty</a>. Let&#8217;s set that in at a &#8220;Moderately Accurate.&#8221;</p>
<ul><strong>Hold a grudge.</strong></ul>
<p>Some asshat stabbed me with a compass in middle school. But I don&#8217;t remember his name. Sounds like another &#8220;Moderately Accurate.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-51"></span></p>
<ul><strong>Do not mind being the centre of attention.</strong></ul>
<p>The URL for the site you are reading is <strong>AricMcKeown.com</strong>. We&#8217;ll give myself a &#8220;Very Accurate.&#8221;</p>
<ul><strong>Do not like poetry.</strong></ul>
<p>Do they need the &#8220;do not&#8221; in there? Then again, who am I to judge this &#8220;actual&#8221; survey. I don&#8217;t love or hate poetry. This is &#8220;Neither Inaccurate nor Accurate.&#8221;</p>
<ul><strong>Complete tasks successfully.</strong></ul>
<p>I get out of bed every morning. If they were less vague, I might not be giving it a &#8220;Moderately Accurate.&#8221;</p>
<ul><strong>Believe that others have good intentions.</strong></ul>
<p>No one cut me off in traffic this morning, but that doesn&#8217;t mean they were wishing me well. &#8220;Moderately Inaccurate.&#8221;</p>
<ul><strong>Avoid philosophical discussions.</strong></ul>
<p>Like cracking open this survey? Come on now. That is &#8220;Very Inaccurate.&#8221;</p>
<ul><strong>Need a push to get started.</strong></ul>
<p>Yes, with a but. &#8220;Moderately Accurate.&#8221;</p>
<ul><strong>Cut others to pieces.</strong></ul>
<p>Metaphorically, I would hope. Otherwise this survey took a disturbing turn. Anywho, not in front of their faces. &#8220;Moderately Inaccurate.&#8221;</p>
<ul><strong>Make friends easily.</strong></ul>
<p>I have enough friends, questionnaire. That is &#8220;Very Inaccurate.&#8221;</p>
<ul><strong>Feel comfortable with myself.</strong></ul>
<p>Am I answering 20 questions on a social network to find out more about myself? You should be able to answer &#8220;Very Inaccurate&#8221; for me, &#8220;real&#8221; application.</p>
<ul><strong>Often feel blue.</strong></ul>
<p>See above jab at these questions. &#8220;Moderately Accurate.&#8221;</p>
<ul><strong>Am easy to satisfy.</strong></ul>
<p>Your survey leaves much to be desired, and thus, that is &#8220;Moderately Inaccurate.&#8221;</p>
<ul><strong>Keep in the background.</strong></ul>
<p>Do I mind being the center of attention? I also feel my &#8220;cut others to pieces&#8221; answer slipping away.</p>
<ul><strong>Am always prepared.</strong></ul>
<p>I was a Boy Scout. But that was only so I could learn and forget how to tie knots. &#8220;Neither Inaccurate nor Accurate.&#8221;</p>
<ul><strong>Enjoy wild flights of fantasy.</strong></ul>
<p>Has anyone ever asked this question of anyone else ever? &#8220;Say, Bob, I was wondering if you ever enjoyed wild flights of fantasy. Whoops, there is a fax coming through. Hold that thought.&#8221; You got yourself a &#8220;Very Inaccurate&#8221; answer there. And you are stupid.</p>
<ul><strong>Get stressed out easily.</strong></ul>
<p>I am complaining about a survey on a social network. &#8220;Very Accurate.&#8221;</p>
<ul><strong>Avoid contact with others.</strong></ul>
<p>Oddly enough, &#8220;Very Accurate.&#8221; Don&#8217;t email me about this question, or anything at all. Ever.</p>
<ul><strong>Am not easily bothered by things.</strong></ul>
<p>Please refer to &#8220;Get stressed out easily.&#8221;</p>
<ul><strong>Shirk my duties.</strong></ul>
<p>This survey is being answered at work. &#8220;Very Accurate.&#8221;</p>
<p>The results are in!</p>
<blockquote><p>You have antisocial personality disorder. Please note that it is extremely unlikely that a personality disorder is actually present, this is just for fun!</p></blockquote>
<p>So these &#8220;real&#8221; and &#8220;actual&#8221; questions were just for fun, and you weren&#8217;t ever planning on giving me a &#8220;real&#8221; and &#8220;actual&#8221; answer? Screw your face in half, <a href='http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2490151219&#038;b&#038;ref=pd' title='My Personality - Facebook Application' target='_blank'>My Personality</a> Facebook application!</p>
