I don't eat bananas all that often, but I don't see the issue with peeling from the stem. I don't really ever remember having that much trouble or "mushing up" the end if the banana was in the appropriately ripe stage.

The issue with doing the traditional way is that you still have to peel the little side strings from the banana. With the monkey way, the strings get peeled in one shot most of the time.

They make these for cell phones?

My friend had one for his phone about 4 years ago. I don't remember hot it connected. I'd imagine someone somewhere makes a bluetooth one.

According to this site, they plug right into the 3.5mm headphone jack. It's like one of those old-timey war radios I see in the FPS games all the time

Huh.

I have a working red rotary phone in one of my guest rooms and love it. I still prefer a ring over a ring tone. The reception and sound:way better than any cell phone.

About 6 weeks ago we got a new student at the school. Since arriving this kid has caused absolute chaos: he's damaged property, started fistfights, been kicked off the bus, skipped class, initiated food fights, etc. His parents pulled him out of the school today - they claim that he's been acting out because the other students have bullied him (since day one apparently).

The young man's name? Dick Stump.

I tells ya, seriously. My cousin is so stupid and fertile. How stupid and fertile? She named her twin sons Pete and Repeat, and her twin daughters Polly and Esther. AmIrideoramIride?

I bought a (cheap) old wind up pocket watch. It arrived today. It has been making a lovely ticking sound while sitting on my keyboard since I got off work. I shall have it in my pocket tomorrow for the work "Christmas" party and people are going to wonder what's ticking.
