Organic Bananas

Organic bananas are fucking tits. They cost 30¢ more per pound than regular bananas, but they also taste about 28¢ better per pound, so that's fine with me. I always find it hard to go back to regular produce after eating its organic equivalent, because the former usually tastes sort of like what I imagine chewing a fresh tab of trailer park ecstasy hypothetically tastes like.

RATING: 89%

Organic veggies are the way to go. They taste like food instead of dirt, which is what I thought carrots actually tasted like until I splurged one day on the organic ones.

John said...

I usually try not to eat vegetables that other people have splurged on, but I guess if you wash them it's OK. Christ only knows what they get up to down in Chile.

You have to eat everything I splurge on. It was in the vows!

this comment page make me feel gross

Chris said...

I've gotta be honest. That dancing banana kind of annoys me.

Only because it's so large.

John said...

Doesn't anyone ever have anything nice to say about the things that I post on this blog?

You know what you can do with that dancing banana, boss?

(Make a twitching peanut butter and banana sandwich with it, of course.)

John said...

P.S. I tried to make it smaller, but it'll only dance at full size.

laurie said...

The dancing banana is kind of ginormous. But I do like organic bananas and organic food in general.

Robyn said...

Hey, Brent!

Spell "IHOP" and then say "ness".

Chris said...

Eating organic is a joke unless you're buying local and eating in season.

John said...

Why? Are organic carrots grown in Manitoba bad for diners in Newfoundland? As for "eating in season," Canada's growing season is fucking 3 months long.

I agree that the question of whether to buy organic or not isn't as simple as some pseudo-Greens seem to think, but they don't grow any bananas where I'm from.

You should try our organic icicles, though.

Viking Andrew said...

Is the banana dancing? Or is he doing more of a celebratory jig?

laurie said...

Can we please stop using the expression "tits." I don't really care about it's sexist connotation, I just think it sounds fucking "stupid."

John said...

@ Laurie
Opinion noted, but seriously, no way. 1) It's not sexist, b/c men have tits too; 2) tits are super-awesome, and part of our mammalian heritage; and 3) there's no apostrophe in "its."

John said...

@ Andrew
Isn't a jig a kind of dance? The only kind of dance a whiskey-addled Scotsman can manage?

Robyn said...

Oh, come on people! I-H-O-P-ness

That was the BEST laugh I have had in AGES and not one reaction!?!

Is Canadian/ maritime humour lost on Texans/Floridians?

I guess there is still hope for nBNL!

laurie said...

@John: Go fuck yourself, that was a typo.

@Robyn: Sorry, totally lost on me.

So, what exactly do these cheaper synthetic bananas taste like, and where can I find them because all the bananas I've ever seen come out of the earth and don't taste at all like tits?

@John from Daejeon
They metaphorically taste like tits. If tits were bananas, they'd taste like organic bananas.

Regarding usage, I'm OK with the term "organic" denoting "grown without chemical pesticides," but I draw the line at "inorganic."

@Robyn
I guess your sense of humour is just too highbrow for this crowd.

Viking Andrew said...

@Robyn

I guess your sense of humor involves a u.

John said...

Smoked any good cigarets lately, dickhead?

Viking Andrew said...

Hey now. Just a little Post-Colonial joshing.
