An intervention is called for.

Several of us will be over this weekend.

(I've also heard of people putting sugar on their green salads. I regard this as a cry for help.)

It's delicious and I refuse to eat pancakes any other way.

Sugar on salads is counter-productive. It's like buying a diet soda and a Snickers.

I'm starting to think we're going to have to look at institutionalization.

[Jolly Mon]

In the cobbler-loving South, I'm afraid you'd face tarring & feathering.

I don't even want to know what Jolly Mon would have to say about fresh-made banana pudding.

It would start with "ick" and go downhill from there. Once, though, I had a close encounter with the evil things that I couldn't avoid and had to pretend to like it. As you know, I work with computers and on several occasions (including the present) I work as an outside contractor to companies that pay my employers for my services as onsite IT support. One time when I was leaving an account to work at my company's home office, the folks at the account threw me a surprise going away party, complete with gifts and a cake. A banana cake. No one had ever done anything like that for me before, so I certainly couldn't ruin it by letting them know I couldn't stand the cake. So I smiled, thanked them profusely, and ate the damn cake. A wonderful gesture that could only have been made better if the cake would have been anything but banana.

Which irrational reaction reminds me that it's high time Jolly Mon underwent intensive therapy for his banana-phobia.

Since dr chimp appears to be an MD, I'll have to look into seeing if he can arrange for getting both JM & adam into the same facility. (Unfortunately, I must respectfully request that Squeeks be left out of any such arrangement, except perhaps in a purely custodial capacity.)

Got to say, I've never tried cottage cheese pancakes so I can't say it's bad, but it sure doesn't sound good. Course I'm not a big fan of cottage cheese either. Not banana level hate, but I just have a hard time getting past eating small lumps of sour milk.

As for salads, putting sugar on them is just weird. Granted, when we have salads at my house, we put so much meat, cheese, dressing, etc, on it that it probably isn't healthy anymore (or maybe technically not even a salad) but it makes an excellent meal on these 100 degree days we've been having here in the formerly frozen north.

The phrase "same difference" annoys me but does remind me of George Carlin's Jumbo Shrimp routine

If hating bananas is wrong, I don't want to right. Or institutionalized. And I have my doubts that dr. chimp could be impartial on the subject.

[dan bailey]

"Alot" & "nevermind" both annoy the hell out of me. No wonder Kurt Cobain killed himself; guilt over the title of Nirvana's second album no doubt tipped the scales.

Come of think of it, the friend & fellow product of Arizona State's editing & publishing procedures program who uses "alot" in her correspondence is also the first person I ever encountered who put sugar on her lettuce & tomato salads.

Hmmmmm.

If you're attacking dr chimp's professional standing, I'm ... I ... I just ... I don't know what to say.

I mean, he is the source for all my prescription needs.

Not his professional standing. I'm sure all the prescriptions he gives you are totally above board. However I doubt he can be impartial about bananas. I mean, not to be indelicate, but he is a monkey after all.

[dan bailey]

Speciesism has no place here, sir. Your militant stance against bananas has poisoned your mind.

I feel the same about bananas. The last fruit I would ever eat.

Oh don't get me wrong, if it isn't a taco salad, I am at least throwing some meat chunks on my salad. A salad isn't a salad without with some kind of meat and cheese and either blue cheese or italian dressing.

[dan bailey]

blue cheese

Yum! Mold! Might as well wash it down with a good swig of penicillin.

I feel the same about bananas. The last fruit I would ever eat.

Yes, clearly a combined approach to therapy is called for. I'm sure dr chimp is looking into suitable facilities & courses of treatment even as I type.

Looks like we're pretty close to being on the same page, other than the cottage cheese thing. Good to know there are other right-thinking banana haters out there.

At least it's tasty mold. But now I have a taste for some nice, stinky cheese.

I remain defiant in my aberration. Solidarity with Adam has given me strength.
