Since spotting the super cute Coolhaus ice cream sandwich truck tooling along Hyperion yesterday, I'm gripped with the compulsion to keep coming up with punny names for its naming competition co-sponsored by the Dwell on Design conference. (Read details about the Sweetest Contest Ever here on Dwell's website if you want to participate, and check out Alissa's video.) I'm usually terrible at this sort of thing -- especially compared to the pun masters Aram and my brother-in-law Jake -- but for patently obvious reasons, I can't resist giving it a shot.
Below are my corny ideas ... so far. But I really must stop already. And granted, not all of the inspirations are strictly modern architects/designers. (Links to the referenced architects attached.)
I.M. Peach (ginger cookies, peach Madeira sorbet)
Tadao Toasted Almond (lavender cookies, toasted almond ice cream)
Edward Durell Stone Fruit (sea salt cookies, apricot sorbet with crushed lollipops)
Norman Bananas Foster (caramel cookies, banana brown butter ice cream)
Herzog de Melon (clove-spiced cookies, cantaloupe sorbet)
Aldo Red Raspberry (basil cookies, red raspberry sorbet)
Jean Nougat (hazelnut cookies, nougat ice cream)
Eerie Spearmint-en (zucchini cookies, spearmint ice cream)
Gorge-on Cinnamon Bunshaft (cinnamon bun cookies, maple ice cream)
Josef & Anni Albariño (lemongrass-infused cookies, Albariño wine sorbet)
Mocha Chip-idus (mocha cookies, chocolate chocolate chip ice cream)
Yens Rice-Yum (green tea-infused cookies, sake ice cream)
Henry's Bacon (biscuits with bacon, vanilla-bacon ice cream)
Birchtram Goodhues (rainbow swirl cookies with birch beer ice cream)
Exclusively California architects edition:
Stylin' O. Clementine (rhubarb cookies, clementine sorbet)
Thom Mayne Blueberry (honey cookies, Maine blueberry ice cream)
Toffee-ael Soriano (molasses cookies, toffee crunch ice cream)
George Washington Granny Smith (dried cherry cookies, granny smith ice cream)
Cloud Beerman (vanilla cookies, malt ice cream with layer of marshmallow)
Walnut Neff (walnut cookies, chevre ice cream)
Three Alarm Siren Hunt (cayenne pepper cookies, jalapeño ice cream)
Cool-ya Morgan (strawberry cookies, Captain Morgan rum raisin ice cream)
Marron Cliff-Ce (iced oatmeal cookies, marron glace ice cream)
AlFreddo RosenThyme (thyme cookies, rosewater ice cream)
WellDone Becket Biscuit (brown butter biscuit, buttermilk ice cream)
Final note: despite the length of this list, I have no delusions of any of mine becoming the winning entry. Yet I have nothing to lose but a little bit of my time. And dignity.
Here's my entry: Charles & Ray M&Ms.

Funny, just a minute ago Charles and Ray Creamsicle popped into my mind. Er, so to speak.

Oh, I think I like yours better, so long as you spell it CrEAMESicle. That's pretty perfect.
Posted by: Jill | June 12, 2009 at 08:33 AM
Oh, and I'd revise your I.M. Peach to in I.M. Pie, and make it a revisionist whoopie pie kinda thing.
Posted by: Jill | June 12, 2009 at 08:34 AM
Yes, it should totally be CrEAMESicle. And maybe I'd split the difference and amend the Pei to I.M. Peach Pie. Hindsight's a bitch, dude.

Green and Green Tea.
Whatever their Frank Lloyd Wright flavor is should be served in a leaky cone.

Yes, good one! Esp if there's ever a Gamble House Coolhaus event.
They don't do cones, but apparently the sandwiches melt fast and are messy; fitting for many mod architects.
If they can make waffle cookies, however, then Gooey Cone (caramel waffle cookies, orange blossom honey ice cream) might work.

Some time ago, I needed to buy a car for my firm but I didn't have enough cash and could not buy something. Thank heaven my friend proposed to try to get the mortgage loans from banks. Therefore, I did that and used to be satisfied with my student loan.

Every one acknowledges that men's life is very expensive, however some people require cash for different things and not every person gets big sums cash. So to receive some loans or student loan will be a correct way out.
