Bananas!

[dimmreaper]

First off, let me ward off any smart-ass remarks by clarifying, I'm talking about fruit here. Having said that:

I love bananas, they're probably one of my favorite foods. So who else likes bananas?

FYI: Bananas rippen quicker if you set them on top of a nice warm computer monitor.

Edit: Were did those damn slashes in the poll options come from

[Pinky]

I like 'em, but they go bad/over-ripe too easily/quickly for my taste so I rarely eat them...

[mookydooky]

I don't really like them very much, but I eat them almost everyday. I tend to get hungry between breakfast and lunch and a banana staves off my hunger pangs so I don't end up eating 5 meals a day. Also, I'm on a low sodium diet (again) and bananas are naturally low in sodium.

[Random Nonsense]

I like em, as i re-discovered the other day. dont eat nearly enough fruit, god damned junk food keeps me off it

[Southern Man]

There is nothing better than day old banana pudding. It's OK fresh but if you stick it in the refrigerator over night and let it sour up a bit I can eat 5 people’s shares. YUM

Those \s are to cancel the 's, which are control characters in many languages, for example, in perl, when typing out a string, you may use


"blah blah blah \"blah\" blah"

the two "s encase the entire string, they signify starting and ending, while the \"s signify a cancelled ". They only signify " alone, and will not count as starts nor ends

the \s in the poll options are simply a parsing error of vBullitin I guess

Wow. I should try that some time. That is simply amazing.

I love bananas too. When they are at just the right ripeness for me, I can't eat enough of them!

Dang. I just checked. We are out of bananas, so now I will have to get some more next time I head into town.

The truth is I love B. flavored anything....except Bananas....Go figure!

Any of you guys remember that old Harry Chapin song, 30,000 Lbs. of Bananas? Oddly, my music player randomly played that song today.

EDIT: Lyrics to 30,000 Lbs. of Bananas

It was just after dark when the truck started down
the hill that leads into Scranton Pennsylvania.
Carrying thirty thousand pounds of bananas.
Carrying thirty thousand pounds (hit it Big John) of bananas.

He was a young driver,
just out on his second job.
And he was carrying the next day's pasty fruits
for everyone in that coal-scarred city
where children play without despair
in backyard slag-piles and folks manage to eat each day
about thirty thousand pounds of bananas.
Yes, just about thirty thousand pounds (scream it again, John) .

He passed a sign that he should have seen,
saying "shift to low gear, a fifty dollar fine my friend."
He was thinking perhaps about the warm-breathed woman
who was waiting at the journey's end.
He started down the two mile drop,
the curving road that wound from the top of the hill.
He was pushing on through the shortening miles that ran down to the depot.
Just a few more miles to go,
then he'd go home and have her ease his long, cramped day away.
and the smell of thirty thousand pounds of bananas.
Yes the smell of thirty thousand pounds of bananas.

He was picking speed as the city spread its twinkling lights below him.
But he paid no heed as the shivering thoughts of the nights
delights went through him.
His foot nudged the brakes to slow him down.
But the pedal floored easy without a sound.
He said "Christ!"
It was funny how he had named the only man who could save him now.
He was trapped inside a dead-end hellslide,
riding on his fear-hunched back
was every one of those yellow green
I'm telling you thirty thousand pounds of bananas.
Yes, there were thirty thousand pounds of bananas.

He barely made the sweeping curve that led into the steepest grade.
And he missed the thankful passing bus at ninety miles an hour.
And he said "God, make it a dream!"
as he rode his last ride down.
And he said "God, make it a dream!"
as he rode his last ride down.
And he sideswiped nineteen neat parked cars,
clipped off thirteen telephone poles,
hit two houses, bruised eight trees,
and Blue-Crossed seven people.
it was then he lost his head,
not to mention an arm or two before he stopped.
And he slid for four hundred yards
along the hill that leads into Scranton, Pennsylvania.
All those thirty thousand pounds of bananas.

You know the man who told me about it on the bus,
as it went up the hill out of Scranton, Pennsylvania,
he shrugged his shoulders, he shook his head,
and he said (and this is exactly what he said)
"Boy that sure must've been something.
Just imagine thirty thousand pounds of bananas.
Yes, there were thirty thousand pounds of mashed bananas.
Of bananas. Just bananas. Thirty thousand pounds.
of Bananas. not no driver now. Just bananas!"

A woman walks into her room where her child lies sleeping,
and when she sees his eyes are closed,
she sits there, silently weeping,
and though she lives in Scranton, Pennsylvania
She never ever eats ... Bananas
Not one of thirty thousand pounds .... of bananas

I noticed this two weeks ago, and vBulletin has a fix, but it's not official. The VB 2.2.6 release will fix this problem, and allow complete compatibility with PHP 4.2.X.

[robbie]

I mix some in a protien shake every morning.
They taste OH SO good.

Actually, one of the best ways to ripen bananas are to put them in a brown bag with an apple.
If you have fruit that you want ripened, throw 'em in a bag with an apple, the apple emanates a gas that speeds up the ripening process.

[akaBruno]

When they get too ripe, just stockpile them in the freezer, for Banana Bread later. YUM!

BRUNO

[jay]

Dont know how i could miss out on this one.

I like \'em yellow, with a bit of green on the ends!
