What exactly would go into a 'BBQ Shake' ?

Barbecue doesn't typically come in liquid form, and I'm willing to bet that's with good reason. But comedian Jim Gaffigan has decided to change that precedent. From the man who has the definite word on Hot Pockets comes the idea of a "BBQ shake," which he jokingly referred to in the above tweet about his shows here next March.

I know what comes in a buffalo chicken shake, courtesy of Lunch Blog KC's effort for a 30 Rock promo, but I'm frankly at a loss for what might come in a BBQ shake. Anybody have any recipe ideas? If they sound reasonable, Fat City might just whip up a batch and drink it (videotaping the results, of course).

Toss some pulled pork, Gates BBQ and vanilla ice cream in a blender. Put in the freezer for 20 minutes then serve with a pickle wedge and eat with a spoon. Also great for dipping your steak fries in.

I think you just take BB's Lawnside BBQ's BBQ Sundae and stick it in a blender. Tada, BBQ shake.

You'd also need something acidic. Maybe lime juice would be better than vinegar, although a sweet balsamic vinegar might be OK.

An ice cream base using brown sugar and/or a little molasses, along with some chile powder and smoked vanilla extract (or vanilla beans- no idea how they'd take on smoke) may be a good baseline to build upon. No idea what the addition of other bbq rub spices like cumin might bring to the experience in relation to the gag reflex, but hey, at least no shredded meat.
