It's kind of funny how much you take ice for granted until you don't have it. Sure, ice in the Winter isn't such a great thing. Driving on it is certainly no fun. Plus, a large portion of my home state is still recovering from a huge ice storm that hit a couple of months ago now. Areas are just starting to work on clean up efforts with downed trees and things like that. Then of course there is the more luxurious side of ice. Those wonderful little (or big) cubes that cool your drink at just the right time. I remember when I was much younger, there was a movie called The Ice Pirates. They used to show it in the middle of the day Saturdays and Sunday on the FOX network. It was from 1984 and it starred Robert Urich from Spencer for Hire as well as a bunch of other famous people. While not as much a spoof of Star Wars as Spaceballs, the similarities were still there and you could tell it was trying to be something it wasn't. It used to be my favorite movie, but I haven't seen it in forever
