Ice-cream Eating Mother Fuckers
FORT RENO 8/9/93

Ian: Hey! Don’t fucking kick people and don’t punch people! I’m talking to you right there. That's right, I’m talking to you and you! You want to do that fucking shit, get the fuck up on the football field, all right? I’m talking to you, yeah, I’m talking to you, yeah. That’s right. It sucks to have to tell people to behave themselves but there are other people here too, all right? So, try to be a little more kind.

Guy: Those guys?

Ian: Yeah.

Guy: You know, I saw you two guys earlier at the Good Humor truck and you were eating your ice cream like little boys, and I thought: ‘Those guys aren’t so tough, they’re eating ice cream.  What a bunch of swell guys!’ I saw you eating ice cream pal, oh don’t you deny it, you were eating an ice cream cone. You were eating an ice cream cone. Oh, you’re bad now! you’re bad now, but you were eating an ice cream cone, and I saw you. That’s the shit you can’t hide, you know? You got you’re fucking shit, but you eat ice cream. Everybody knows it, the whole fucking place knows it. Ice cream eating mother fucker, that’s what you are.

Ian: I mean it sucks to get off to such a bad start, but it also sucks to see this kind of behavior, you know. I know everyone’s tired of hearing about it, but hey, we don’t give a fuck whether you’re tired of it or not. We’re not going to stand up here and play to this kind of stuff.
