...only by the distance from the fro-yo spout to the floor. In today's Dairy Queen world, such an attitude is not surprising--which doesn't make such twisted monstrosities any less apalling. These "comes" are not created so much as they are mindlessly pumped out by the drone-like yogurt lackeys one would expect at the local McDonald's, not at the three-way-tied-for-first best university in the U.S. Today's column is less about making fro-yo than it is about cultivating your soul and freaking out the establishment...

Cows are going for between 27[cents] and 31[cents] per lb.--salvage price by local standards. "Should be 40[cents]," mutters Loren Wagaman, 79, a rancher taking a coffee break.
