Eat ice cream to Reverse the curse

By ThrowsLikeAGirl

It’s considered bad luck to launch a ship on the 13th. It’s bad dinner-party policy to have 13 at table. But what if, on the 13th of the month, 13 people sit down to eat the newly launched flavor from Brigham’s Ice Cream? We theorize some kind of powerful Fibonacci vortex could be created that just may turn our luck around.

Triskaidekaphobics, fear no more! The (in)famous "Reverse the Curse" grafitti-sign over swerving, curving Storrow Drive is now immortalized as dessert!

Today, according to their press release, Brigham’s is inviting two renowned psychic advisors, Daphne Weld Nichols and Diane Dalpe, to bless the production of the new flavor - along with its recipe. All Brigham’s restaurants will offer free samples of the new flavor this afternoon from 3 to 5pm. (Incidentally, it’s "vanilla ice cream loaded with chocolate covered peanuts or "baseballs," chocolate covered caramel "bases," and swirls of Brigham's famous fudge sauce.")

Darryln Leikauskas of Brigham's says "To truly reverse a curse, we need to inspire a collective conscious. We will be looking to start a stream of positive energy with baseball fans so that every time they think of their favorite baseball team and enjoy the new ice cream, their positive energy will automatically flow to the players."

We at YankeesSuck.com wholeheartedly support Brigham’s efforts – and we agree with the power of mass karma. We’re collecting this karma on our REVERSE THE CURSE page, and we encourage all BoSox supporters to add YOUR ideas about how the curse can be reversed.

In the meantime, it’s a gorgeous summery day here in New England. Boston is playing Toronto. Pull the TV outside on the porch. Atkins be damned! Get some of that ice cream and enjoy it with twelve of your friends during the game. It’s a good night for a cone and a good night for a win. Aren’t we lucky?!

(And what about that sign on Storrow Drive? It’s gone now, painted over by the Conservation and Recreation Department. Was the sign a good or bad omen for the team? Should somebody bring it back? Comment below about that as well.)
