One thing that puzzles me is this "Brazier" you see tacked on some of the Dairy Queen signs. What does it mean? Surely it is not a misspelling of "brassiere." Yet Webster's dictionary offers two definitions, the first of which – "one that works in brass" – seems as unlikely as a woman's undergarment. The second, though, may hold the key: "a pan for holding burning coals." Still a little weird. But it must refer to the restauranty Dairy Queen franchises that serve grilled hamburgers and other non-soft serve food. What do you think? If someone knows for sure, please let me know, so I can sleep again. The DQ I visited with Dee Stephen the Sailor and Mya Williams the Fisherperson was a brazier, but it was all soft serve for us. I had my usual, a vanilla cone with a chocolate dip. I forget what they got, but you can't go wrong with any of it. The kids working there ranged in age from 9 to 14. We remarked that this seems true of all Dairy Queens. This seems fine for ice cream – what can go wrong? But I'm not sure I want a nine-year-old making a hamburger for me. Also, the kid on Blizzard duty might have been a Hobbit. Either that or Oregon guard Luke Ridnour. Obscure again. Something you might not know about Dairy Queen, but which makes it even cooler, is that it owns Orange Julius, another favorite from my past, and very hard to find nowadays.
