Further song lyrics will follow.

It is my considered and not 100% sober opinion that the video would be a lot better if the guy in the green shirt were the one giving the banana demo.

That’s Kirk Cameron. From Growing Pains.

I’ve stayed up too late and read too many of you goofy bastards and now I’ve got that picture stuck in my head? that and waiting for the other guy to jump him when he started talking about just the right shape and sticking it…..

HAppy Solstice Pagans & Paganinis!

I kind of wish I’d thought of that myself. That would make a hell of a bumpersticker.

How many swarthy men were on the original Terror In The Skies flight that launched Annie’s career? Yes, I know they were musicians on their way to a gig. But how many gigs have they been able to get post-Annie? Wouldn’t that drive any swarthy musical guy to consider career alternatives? Is it irresponsible to posit…crop-dusting?

Come mister Taliban and tally me banana
Daylight come, time to kill the infidel
Work all night, load the poison on de plane
Daylight come, time to kill the infidel
Creatin’ teh Caliphate with andromeda strain
Daylight come, time to kill the infidel
So we fly toward banana field in da plane
Daylight come, time to kill the infidel
But we get lost in the fog, crash into the sugar cane
Daylight come, time to kill the infidel…
Makes me want to dance. What does Mikey know, and when did he know it? And did he sadly know?

Come mister Taliban and tally me banana
Daylight come, time to kill the infidel

And all banana jokes wilt in shame.

Gotta go, someone wants to know why I’m yucking it up in here.

For a moment the general did not reply; he was smiling his curious red-lipped smile. Then he said slowly, “No. You are wrong, sir. The Cape gooseberry is not the most dangerous vegetable.” He sipped his wine. “Here in my preserve on this island,” he said in the same slow tone, “I grow more dangerous plants.”

From what I know of wingnuts, anything you order from a drive-thru window is also considered safe.

Semi-seriously… our house is located on not one but two groundwater-contamination Superfund sites. We had to get a waiver from the EPA, and promise not to dig a well on our 75×80-foot lot, before our mortgage was approved. And yet I was assured by a friend in civil engineering that the real difference between our property and that of 98% of New England is that we have a fairly accurate tally of the crud we’re sitting on…

Since New England’s main native crop is rocks, I grow my edibles (mostly tomatoes) in planters full of imported topsoil anyway. But if you’re curious about plant uptake of contaminants from soil — which is about 10 million times more liable to be Ms. Jacobsen’s problem than phantom terr-rists in crop dusters — root crops concentrate the most, followed by stems, then leaves, then fruits. So tomatoes, or bananas, are “safer” than lettuce, which are safer than broccoli, and potatoes are the Most Dangerous Vegetable.
