Don't you love a cold beer in a FROSTED mug?
Don't you hate waking up in the morning in the fall and having to scrape the FROST off of your car windows before being able to drive to work?
It FROSTS my butt that Cleveland fell apart and allowed the team from Boston to gain entry into the World Series.
"FROSTY the Snowman" was a jolly happy soul.
"WHEN the FROST is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock"...WHAT the heck does that mean?
Robert Lee FROST (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963) was an American poet. His work frequently used themes from rural life in New England.
My favorite is chocolate FROSTING
When we were in our twenties and we had individual strands of gray hair coming in, we actually had someone ask us if we FROSTED it.

One of our favorites from Neil Young...nothing to do with the theme today, but it has been in our head for a few days...
Enjoy....
"OLD MAN"
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.
Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.
Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

In the movie Heart of Gold (2006), Young introduces the song as follows:
"About that time when I wrote that song [the previously played "Heart of Gold"], and I was touring, I had also -- just, you know, being a rich hippie for the first time -- I had purchased a ranch, and I still live there today. And there was a couple living on it that were the caretakers, an old gentleman named Louis Avala and his wife Clara. And there was this old blue Jeep there, and Louis took me for a ride in this blue Jeep. He gets me up there on the top side of the place, and there's this lake up there that fed all the pastures, and he says, "Well, tell me, how does a young man like yourself have enough money to buy a place like this?" And I said, "Well, just lucky, Louie, just real lucky." And he said, "Well, that's the darndest thing I ever heard." And I wrote this song for him."
