Fill Me In #445: Ice cream with the added impact of root beer.

This week, Ryan and Brian dig into some fusion cuisine (we sincerely hope the chewing sounds aren't disgusting), learn a little more about the English horn (though not enough), and imbue two scoops of Kealoa into something of a cola war. Also, a non-NYT Thunder Round (featuring Wyna Liu's 5/14 New Yorker, Ryan McCarty's "Chasm No. 14 (Themeless)", Sid Sivakumar's 5/20 Slate Midi, Will Nediger's 5/23 Vox [you'll have to go through their archives], and Chris Adams's "We Bought a Zoo"), and a plug for a new acrostic blog (courtesy of XWordInfo guru Jim Horne).
