If you know me, you know that there are only a few things that I ever really say to people… it can get a little repetitive. 

Some of my favorite sayings are…

  • those are z’s
  • I invented fish tacos
  • billy likes soda
  • that’s awesomes
  • get back in the boof
  • no, you’re __________  (retort to anything Alisha says)
  • I thought I was your snack pack

Many of those are Adam Sandler lines (see prior blog), but a lot of them are Jim originals.  Alisha ends up saying “I knew you were going to say that”.  For example, anytime she asks me what I want for dinner or dessert, my answer is almost always VIENNETTA.  I even whaled on the floor of the grocery store demanding Viennetta (Alisha likes it when you embarrass her).

For those of you who don’t know (or remember), Viennetta is a fancy ice cream log cake- which just happens to be delicious.  It was around when I was a kid… I am pretty sure it came in a black and white box like this.

I haven’t seen Viennetta in at least 10-15 years.  That was until we saw it in Germany.  The Deutchlanders appearently have a finer taste palette in order to not let it come off the shelves. 

Alisha surprised me tonight with my very own log of Viennetta that she found at Dierbergs.  I was so excited to see it.  She wouldn’t let me eat the whole thing though.

Do yourself a favor and get yourself a giant tasty log of Viennetta… you won’t be disappointed, unless you miss it while it’s here and then all you’ve got is my constant suggestion to eat it.
