June 18th 1972, While en route to a rural Californian
hospital, a baby plopped out of a nice lady in the back of
her husband's Chinese ice cream truck. The child was named
Bing Ji Ling, which is Chinese for "Ice Cream".
By age 2, the young parents discovered that their kid had a
unique ability to measure the "pleasure factor" of any flavor
of ice cream.
Says his mom;
"Certain flavors would cause baby Bing to cast loose
unmistakably musical giggles, little songs of love,
apparently, caused by ice cream --------- and ---- or ---
nearly naked girls."
Word quickly spread about "the singing ice cream baby".
People came from miles around to the family ice cream parlor
to behold Bing's penchant for singing of ice cream -- and ---
or --- girls. More importantly, Bing was always right, he
knew exactly how to pick a hit flavor be it ice cream or ----
girl. Business boomed.
By the puny age of 5, Bing had composed all the jingles for
the companyÆs new fleet of ice cream trucks. So great was the
success, that a local ordinance banned the ice cream music
for creating traffic jams caused by the dancing crowds of
nearly naked girls who swarmed the trucks. The Ice Cream
business was killed. Little Bing Ji Ling cried and cried and
cried.
"What's wrong with happy music?" he sobbed, "What's wrong
with love songs about ice cream and girls?ö, he wept. "WHAT'S
WRONG WITH DANCING?" he shouted to the heavens.
For the next twelve years, Bing Ji Ling kept his gift to
himself; he was scarred. He spent most of his time in his
room looking at pictures of nearly naked girls and listening
to Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Hall & Oates, Luther
Vandross, Prince, Freddie Jackson, New Edition, and many
others who shared his desire to sing and dance about love,
ice cream and girls... well love and girls anyway. He ate a
lot of ice cream during those years --- truthfully, he got a
little pudgy.
At age 19, Bing was convinced to hit the road and spread love
in a way he knew would not be banned, he became a preacher of
religion. But singing and dancing about religion proved very
difficult for Bing. Religion seemed like hell. -- Sure, there
was plenty of ice cream, but where were the nearly naked
girls? You can't have one without the other --- it's not
right.
In his travels Bing met an inquisitive fellow preacher named
merkley???. Years earlier, merkley??? had been banned from
wiggle dancing for causing too much loud laughter, joy and
near nakedness in his backwards little Utah town. Bing and
merkley??? became fast friends. One cold day, merkley??? said
to Bing;
"That's bullcrap that you were banned from jingling. You need
to be TRUE."
Bing said to merkley???;
"That's bullcrap that you were banned from wiggle dancing,
YOU need to be true."
All at once, truth konked both of them on their heads and
they both exclaimed;
"Religion is hell -- screw it. -- Ice cream and nearly naked
girls are waaaay better."
And so they moved to San Francisco where singing and dancing
about love, ice cream and girls had yet to be banned. A house
was purchased and painted pink, and the ice cream/music
business was resurrected, Bing made the ice cream and wrote
the jingles, merkley??? added fancy toppings to both -- and
everybody sang and danced about love, ice cream and nearly
naked girls --- even fags sang about nearly naked girls.
Years have passed and the ice cream business is going global,
new factories are being built, new flavors emerge daily....
-- seek it out in your town. Try a scoop or gallon -- you
will dance about it. Try not to get banned -- it sucks.
