View Notes"According to Moonalice legend, young members of the ancient Moonalice tribe in Upstate
New York developed an unhealthy fascination with the neighboring Iroquois Confederation.
The Iroquois, you see, were very sophisticated in comparison to the very down market 
Moonalice tribe. The Iroquois represented everything Moonalice was not: they were rich;
they were educated; they had lots of friends. In short, they were mainstream establishment.
Moonalice had just the two clans – the nomadic musicians and the hemp farmers – and they
couldn’t get anywhere near the Iroquois Confederation without getting laughed at. In spite
of this, young Moonalice read fan magazines like Iroquois Tonight! and QuoisFanatic in 
teepees adorned with posters of great Iroquois chiefs. It annoyed their parents to no end.

In a bright corner of the Moonalice legend sits one of the great inventions in the history
of the tribe: the refreshing fruit-flavored ice dessert. For hundreds of years, the tribe
searched far and wide for something sweet that would salve the savage throat after smoking.
A few unlucky tribe members discovered that snow was unreliable. Not only was it available
only a few months a year, it came in flavors that no one liked, such as “citrus.” 
Fortunately, in 1905 a kid in San Francisco left a mix of fruit soda powder and water on 
the porch overnight on the coldest day of the year. It had a drink stirrer in it. By 
morning, the Popsicle was born. We bring this up because Wikipedia reveals that August 14
is National Creamsicle Day. There’s no way this can be a coincidence. Not here in Ithaca.
So the Earl of Moonalice went grazing and came back with a couple of boxes of Creamsicles
that we shared with the audience."
