Oh, Puss.

My Friend David: Anyone want to have a beer or two tomorrow for St. Patty's?
Me: If by "have a beer or two" you mean "split a Carvel Cookie O'Puss ice cream cake and watch Real Housewives," I am all over that like wounds on an injured person

And so it was decided.



I've ordered Reverend O'Puss from the only Carvel in Manhattan for tonight's screening of what I fondly call "The Bobby Zarin Show."



When the gentleman on the phone asked me if I wanted them to write anything on the cake, I asked them to write "Cookie O'Puss."

I hope Ramona dances a lot in this episode.



Here is video, via Holly, of an amazing Holiday Carvel cakes ad from the early 80's. Non-Tri-Staters: the glorious voiceover artist in this spot is the timeless and dapper Tom Carvel himself. Please note, in this important video, that Santa Claus is the same shape as Fudgy the Whale, and Tom the Turkey, who's "ready and beautiful," is in the same shape as Cookies Puss and O'Puss. Because if it ain't broke, Tom Carvel won't fix it. In fact, he'd be a fool to.
