It makes me angry that Two and a Half Men is popular.

So, my wife figured out how to make the most amazing Shamrock shakes I've ever had. Low fat ice-cream, skim milk, creme du menthe. Blended. As you can see, it really isn't that bad for you in terms of dessert. And that's the problem. It doesn't taste like it would...
