whenever i hear this, i think maybe there's a black and white picture of his parents, or someone's parents, outside in the summer, eating what looks like black ice cream, and their son is in the background driving his go-kart. and people used to write the dates on photos a lot more than they do now.. i don't know, i always think maybe he just wrote a song about some picture, and made it mean something different. seems like something darnielle might do.
