The heck are those ice-cream flavours? 0.o
Welcome anyway.
Avoid the squirrels. After use as poi they now tend to snap at newcomers.
Nice choice in books and movies.

Phish Food is a B&J Ice Cream. Moose Tracks is kind of a local thing, I couldn't even find it in Chicago really. It's vanilla ice cream with chocolate swirls and miniature PB cups.
Thanks for the squirrel warning. I will try to placate them with pistachios.

You can actually get Moose Tracks here in Delaware:) Phish Food is good, but my favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor "Dave Matthews One Sweet Whirled" was discontinued.
I think I'm with you on the spreads as well LOL I'm new around here and to Poi as well (I started spinning in June at Gaian Mind Summer Festival so I'm almost a half a year into it).
and I'll see you around the beginner boards or anywhere intellectualizing is going on! 
~Rock on!~
