In my area it snows about once every ten years. In the storm of 1960 we got three whole inches! Anyway, we kids actually stored snowballs in the freezer so we could use them later.
Workers at an Arizona cryonics facility mutilated the frozen head of baseball legend Ted Williams - even using it for a bizarre batting practice, a new tell-all book claims.
I love the long, elaborate story on one of Bill Cosby’s old LPs around 1968, in which he describes putting a snowball in the freezer so he could deliver payback to some big mean kid on the Fourth of July. The plan worked fine right through the part where the Fourth of July comes, Bill goes and finds the guy and taunts him outrageously, and gets chased home where he opens the freezer to get the snowball and …
I suppose it’s not a spoiler if the story’s 40 years old?
“My mom had thrown it out”
Today my city got 16” of snow and school’s out (which is rare because the subways can still run normally). I don’t think I could live where three inches was a lot, or where freezers (or, storing snowballs at all) are needed.
Just got news today that my local paper (Philadelphia Inquirer) is dropping One Big Happy. Not edgy enough, I guess. Oh well, we still get war criminal John Yoo’s monthly column.
Are you talking about Bill Cosby’s “Revenge?” I have that on CD. If that is what you are talking about, you must have some of the details confused with something else.
Of course it is also possible that you are thinking of a completely different story.

Didn’t Ted Williams’s family freeze his dead head? And didn’t it become the focus of a protracted legal dispute?
I’m pretty sure it did. Too bizarre.
