Little Bene Bene Gets Served

By Ryan - Monday December 26th 2005

bene bene bene bene bene, bene bene!!After wasting away for the better part of a year without serving so much as a single wooden sampler spoonful of gelato, the Bene Bene Mini-Truck of Fairfax Village fell victim to a ruthless tagging. We sent our writer deep undercover, straight to the seamy underbelly of Gelato gangland to decipher the cryptic vandalism. Eventually he returned with minor scrapes and the following translations which we now present to you, faithful reader.

‘Oh Bene Bene Bene Bene Bene Bene, Bene. So cute and yet so filthy you, now, having parked your bene-advertising ass on one curb or another for a good six-plus months in the Fairfax neighborhood sans gelato uno. You served not a single scoop of gelato this year. Finally, you were tagged proper. Bene bene bene, it breaks the heart to think what might have been. If only. If only, bene, you were allowed to sing. To soar. To be everything you threatened to be, bene. Bene, bene, bene, bene, bene, bene, bene, bene, benebenebenebenebene, Bene! How my heart sings for thee, bene. Sings, but does not mourn. You tease, you. It was bound to happen, you lovely son of a bitch. Gelato my ass, pin-striped figlio di capra.’

  3. [...] Longtime followers of this site are no doubt familiar with the adventures of the Bene Bene Mini-Truck of Fairfax Village (one, two, three). Rumor has it the truck will be making a triumphant return to form, serving up not only creamy gelato but also bizarre ice creams from Japan, which, technically, neither borders the Mediterranean nor approximates a boot when you think about it.
