SEE? I'M *NOT* A FREAK! - UPDATED 10:30PM

Bloggrandson-in-law =HC= of House of Zathras mentions this quirk:

I put icecubes in my milk.

And there's more milk-icers in the comments.

For years, Beloved Wife TNT of Smiling Dynamite has mocked me mercilessly for doing the same thing, treating me as though I was the only person on the planet capable of such deranged behavior.

Looks like this particular fetish may have a larger following than anyone has ever suspected. Come on, you closet milk-icers... fess up.

By the way, =HC=, please consider getting your own blog. Writing talent like yours needs to be showcased, not hidden in comments sections. Read this & think it over.

UPDATE - 10:30 PM: I'm not actually a freak, because I've got an excuse. Four years on the Enterprise where the milk was usually served at room temperature. And keep in mind that - all too often - the temperature of the "room" was also about the temp of the part of the Indian Ocean we were floating around on. Say about 90 degrees.

Warm water, warm milk, warm pop, warm bug juice, warm beer (if we were out to sea long enough)... I developed an obsession with making sure that drinks that are supposed to be served cold are served at the temperature God intended, i.e. just above freezing.

So I'm not really a freak, just scarred.

1 I ice my milk! (it's not cold enough otherwise) [standing proud] Hi- My name is Rave, and I have been a Milk-Icer for 20 years...this is my first meeting.

2 Icing your milk has nothing to do with you being a freak, Harv. Carving little ice sculptures out of the cubes, does.

4 No ice, but I do like to put it in the freezer for 45 minutes to an hour before drinking. And I agree, HC needs to start his own blog. Maybe if we get a petition going?

5 No, you're still a freak, Harv. Just because you have company in your freak-dom doesn't mean you're not a freak. Ice in milk. ew.

6 I knew kids back in grade school who did that. I thought it was gross, but hey, whatever makes you happy as long as I don't have to drink it. *grin*

7 I'm sorry, that's just weird.

8 Ice in milk is perfectly acceptable if there is vodka and kahlua in it. Otherwise, you just have a problem.

9 Freaks! (Said as I eat a half pound of frosted mini-wheats out of the box without milk)

10 I actually like milk after it's been sitting out about 5 minutes. By then, it's lost just enough of it's chill to not freeze my brain when I chug the whole glass in one swallow. Unless I have chocolate chip cookies, that is. Then it's one bite of cookie, one sip of milk. Repeat till all gone.

11 "Bloggrandson-in-law"?? Damn, I thought I had enough in-laws already!! Actually, Harvey, since you're the one nagging me to blog, I'd figure that IF* I were to blog, I'd blame you for it, thereby becoming your blog son who just so happens to be married to your blog granddaughter... Of course since I post on HoZ, that would also make Mrs_Who (again: my wife and your blog granddaughter) my blog Mother, thereby making me the Oedipal Bastard-Spawn of an already twisted and incestuous blog union... And my own great nephew... I think. So wouldn't I be a sick milk-icing freak worthy of the Bad Example family! *as yet still quite undecided - especially since I fitfully threw-down the meme gauntlet in the comments on HoZ!!
