Ice Cream War! Watch as a brawl erupts between two ice cream truck drivers—one of the famous Mister Softee franchise and the other a NO NAME LOSER—over a parking dispute near Columbus Circle. Or, just another NYC afternoon.

Today we looked at deadly desserts, particularly those made from this newfangled iced cream that the World's Fair is all atwitter about. This caused one commenter to go on a wonderful tirade, brought on by lack of sugar, no doubt.

What's with morning shows always giving us what we don't want to see while we're eating breakfast? Anyway, here's a clip of my two favorite morning show hosts sampling the flavors bacon, beer, booger, and "better than sex."

Speaking of munchies, did you know today was National Ice Cream Day? This is apparently Ronald Reagan's fault. Go out and get yourself a tasty confection. Then read this old NYT letter to the editor and laugh. Oh, and this:

Bucking all the Hollywood dieting trends and fads, Gossip Girl guest star Michelle Trachtenberg enjoyed an ice cream sundae while on set yesterday. Trachtenberg explained that it was a hot day and, quite frankly, frozen yogurt doesn't quite hit the spot on a hot day.

Regular Gawker Weekend bread and butter means clowning on the Times wholesale and full-scale, particularly when they try to jump species and turn what is normally just a bunch of paper folded together into a multimedia internet experience. It's difficult to imagine the circumstances under which someone would actually click through to the multimedia segments of the Times website, but in a hard-up moment we put our peepers to "All the Fixings," a.k.a. the 'T' style magazine's highly speedy, behind-the-scenes look at a recent cover photo shoot.
