the banana strikes back

August 25th, 2005 by John Marcotte

My buddy the Panhandling Banana is attempting to think outside the cardboard box that he lives in at night.

Instead of simply collecting money from strangers who avert their eyes, he has branched out into the seedy world of advertising. eBay has already pulled his auction once, but he thinks he has the kinks worked out of the system now.

The high bidder will win naming rights to the cardboard sign that the banana holds on some freeway off-ramp. I’d bid it up myself, but I think it would be much funnier if someone he didn;t know made him hold up an embarrassing sign. I’d make a crude joke involving genetalia. Just a suggestion.

The eBay Auction is right here.

What happened to cruising around, smoking pot and making a few bucks? What happened to my soft-serve sundae??!!!! All I know is someone is falling down on the ... [Link]

There have been so many misconceptions about the recent cover of The New Yorker that I felt compelled to address a few of them: It’s funny. I know there are people out there who think it isn’t, but they’re clearly wrong. It’s so patently ridiculous, it can’t help but bring a smile. The Obamas are not the subject of the ... [Link]

Oh Baby Daddy … He called again, and I didn’t realize it was him until had picked up. He was rather self-righteous about now having the time to ‘be involved.’ I told him he needs to write down specifically what that means to him and we would talk. But I am not giving an inch. He even got huffy b/c ... [Link]

Our mayor is taking part in this national push by municipalities to get people to ditch bottled water for tap water. It’s better for the environment, it’s cheaper, blah blah blah. Only problem is that our tap water is damn near undrinkable right now. It’s truly foul. It smells nearly as bad as it tastes. A shower leaves you feeling ... [Link]
