Tasted alot better when I was a kid. Maybe I'm just growing up :(
Hey guys, my wife's sister is getting married and our gift to them is a road trip around New England to get the best milk shakes (cute right?). Anyways, concensus seems to be that Newport Creamery is the top dog in RI for that sort of thing but they won't sell us one over the phone or online. Same thing happened to us with another ice cream shop in this project and an awesome dude from that local subreddit picked it up for us so I thought id try it again here before we commit to a road trip (were from Boston).
Any interest? I can do venmo, cash.me, PayPal, etc etc. Id send you the 10$ for the certificate and another ten for your trouble.
Thanks!
Y’all have come through on all my food asks so far, and I’ve got another:
So, my favorite human on the planet and I moved fully cross-country this summer to pvd, and in doing so, we relinquished one of our favorite therapeutic rituals: on most Friday nights, we’d get drive-in burgers, fries, and shakes, eat them in a lot right across from the place, and then we’d go for this hour-long drive around a nearby lake to vent about life, share music we’d found that week, or just loudly karaoke to favorite shared songs. (If y’all are curious, it was Boomers in Bellingham, WA, and we’d drive around Lake Whatcom.)
All that to say: where can we find a bangin burger, fries, and shake, and then go on a drive that loops us back to Providence? Bonus points for curly fries and sweet potato fries!
thank you thank you thank yoooooou!
I lived in Rhode Island all my life and had been to Newport many times, especially the Newport Creamery that is now the Panera Bread plaza. One day in the summer of 1995, my lifelong friend Kenny asked me if I wanted to take a ride to Newport as he had a dental appointment, I said sure, we will get lunch when you get out of there, I waited in the car during his appointment. When he got out, we drove into downtown Newport and I parked my car in a familiar spot I knew, behind two of Newport’s best night clubs. We walked down the famous Americas Cup Avenue to Thames Street. That day ESPN was in Newport telecasting either the Extreme or Gravity games, I saw the ESPN sign. Because of the big event, they had a ferris wheel and other makeshift activities. I remember looking up at the top the ferris wheel, and remember seeing 100% dark gray overcast sky as it was all morning. Walking down Thames St. we took a right at the Shell gas station on to Welligton Ave. As we turned I said to Kenny, weird, I just felt like I just jumped up and down.
As we turned on to Welligton Ave, I seen a wall slant downward and the slant got lower as I walked. When it got low enough for me to see over I could see the ocean and all of the boats near the wall. I saw these little wooden stands selling souvenirs, with a wooden floor as a pathway. I could see that the merchandise stands could close by pulling down the front covers, and they had holes at the top and bottom where a padlock can be inserted. All of a sudden I seen the sun emerge, a huge burst of sunshine hit me, and I said to myself, wow, the sun came out fast. We walked into a business district I never seen before loaded with shoppers, very busy, a two way street. I can still recall a bus stopping. I walked by some restaurants and looked at their menu on the outside wall, and they were way too expensive for the lunch we were looking for that day. So we kept on walking and I seen a Newport Creamery, I said, wow, I never seen this one before, so we went in and ate there. As I sat and ate, the register was to my left, and I looked out of the glass walls, I had a view of the ocean. I was watching people play Frisbee and walk their dogs on the grass where there was a bandstand/gazebo. The sun was still bright, not a cloud in the sky. The business district was so alive and so amazing, I could not wait to tell my wife. We walked back to the car the same way we arrived. To the best of my knowledge, I believ
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
APRIL 28, 2002
I don't know if I would venture so far as to call what I am feeling right now. Depression. Although it saddens me to think about wistfully on times when my world was perfect. I was complete & I always had a reason. To smile. Such dramas as emotional turmoil could never exist. They were but a subconscious memory of times long ago. I was standing behind the spa desk alone. And thinking to myself when consecutively the following happened: Dana came down & gave me a fully committed hug., saying that I looked like I needed a squeeze, Nancy standing in front of me said, you know, My mother told me never to waste a compliment & you are just beautiful & of quote. Then Keith came down the stairs & said, “to cheer you up,” & tossed a handful of bright pink rose petals in my direction, they fluttered beautifully everywhere.
I love you, my love, forever & ever. The world, something something Time, so faint, will certainly. The future paint. They'll penetrate thy heart with Too softly. Let me further in. The way a wife should always be to have & to hold for eternity. You & I together at last, Our love breaks the mold Anew we shall cast Upon forever for all to see God the father & our posterity I love you, my love And now you see That two become one, You & me. It is with honor. I serve thee & cleave unto thee, My husband, my flesh, an extension of me, Our love knows no bounds, It continues to grow. And we continue to reap & continue to sow Blessing upon blessing in prosperity, we live, In joy we abide & with charity we give I love you my love, & I know it is true, That I am too, loved by you.
You will instantly know, That I am the one you've been waiting to grow A posterity a Kingdom full of grace And the Glory of God & loves sweet embrace him, pure & still unadulted. Like little diamonds in the rough. They are becoming fewer & farther between, however. And it seems that …. darkness.

Day 1
10am- Wake up to my alarm. My flight doesn't leave until this evening so I have awhile before I have to get ready. My intermittent fasting ends at 10:30am so I eat some Oatmeal and yogurt. I won't be doing intermittent fasting while on my trip but I normally do it everyday.
11am- Meet a friend for a walk around a lake. It's about 2.5 miles long. We catch up on our weeks and talk about some of our recent dates.
12:15pm- I find a bodypump video from my old gym and do the hour version. I'm not going to be lifting weights on my trip so want to get in a final weight lift before I go. I shower after my work out.
1:30pm- I went on an impromptu dinner date this week so I didn't eat the shrimp I bought. I also have mussels in the freezer so I decide to make a thrown together paella. I use peppers and tomatoes from my CSA, some spices, rice and chicken broth. It tastes really good! I don't really want to eat on the plane because I don't want to take my mask off.
2:30pm- Off to my airport! My stepfather dri

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
