BANANAS

grandmothers are wise...the rhyme says that they are bent because nobody went back to the jungle to unbent it...but i like your grandmoter explanation better :-)

i love the banana bingo concept, very cool. some of the stickers are beautiful. i collect them too and some of them are quite funny...

@ Janine...are those some bite marks on the corner of the picture?

Great video, I have never seen it before.  But maybe I'm too young for Black & White cartoons!

i am a great cartoon fan. the song is from a Broadway revue from the 20s and the video is an animation by Max Fleischer a very inventive american cartoonist from those times and who elaborated a method to produce animation...

age is subjective....age only matters if you are a cheese. ;-)

My banana bingo was sent long ago...no way can this poor Greek afford transportation to have lunch with Anna Banana,

but will eat a banana in her honor ;-)

Was it here that we were explainging to Janine who Bob Dylan was?

And Dean mentioned that he , (also like Bifidus Jones, and Grigori Antonin) was born in the same state of the USA as Bob Dylan...who said:

"Oh my name it is nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest"

(The State-of-the-Union is Minnesota...of course! ;-)

No Angie, it is not a race, everyone has a chance to have lunch with Anna Banana, and help her clean those 2nd floor windows while you are there!  Keep Collecting.

PS I see two apple stickers.  Naughty girl you!

Welcome Alexandre, It will be fun to share our Bananas with you. And great to see someone South of Texas!

ready for my bananas b(r)unch with Anna...

WOW TICTAC that was fast!  You must be a professional Banana sticker Queen.  I'm impressed as it took me 3 months to hunt down 25 stickers.  I did have 27, but two, yes Angie, two were apples!  We have an expert now so TicTac can be the judge.

PS I'm off to Mont Blanc tonight, back on the 31th, and I'll try to get on a computer Saturday.  You bunch stay Bananas while I'm gone!

thanks for the title Dean,  i was probably a monkey in my past life, i seem to remember eating lots of those ecuador reds Angie is talking about back then. 

lol...i like your tactic Angie. most of the bananas in my superm are sealed inside plastic bags, so the complain i get home is about the random variety i bring back, not all are tasty but the stickers come first! lol

Oh no, Dean, you'll miss your birthday presents, no go away

Dean is off to Mont Blanc to celebrate his birthday high up thar!

Well, if no computer, Dean you can always cyber-celebrate when you return.

all your gifts will be on your page...and we will PARTY!

3 days to Gooooo

Dean has gone bananas up to Mt. blanc, but I will post some "shred-po that he sent, arrived today in Greece:

Looks like someone went on safari once upon a time?

And, yes, I see no bananas, I see no bananas today

...but Dean's (Artist-in-Siene) tale about the shred:

Dean is quite a "weaver'" and shredder  ;-) xx Thanks!

Forgot to mention, there are bananas in the video clip below

It is getting fruity around here! Yet another super card from Dean,this has all the stickers that he couldn't use for Anna Banana bingo ? Thank you xxx

Il y a vraiment de quoi devenir ''BANANE'' LOL lol LOL! :-D Hello from Rawdon, Quebec, Canada!!!

It's our very own Banana Man's birthday today (28 January). So Happy Birthda, Dean, and I hope that the members of ABAB send you lots of bananas. Bestest, Val

Happy to say that I recieved today my first Banana piece since starting the group from Janinana (Janine Weiss).  Thank you very much Janine for getting the Bananas off the tree!

BarnArt in Bananaland, now that should be interesting.  Welcome to the peel world!

Janinana (Janine Weiss) is really peeling them out.  Another Wonderful Banana card.  There is just something about those Swiss pocket spring girls that keep you jumping!  Thank you very much, and keep those bananas coming.

First Banana card sent out last week.

Look out for the grapes, prettylily -- they can be realy nasty in a fruit bowl. Regards, Val

PS I hope that you have acquired all the necessary film, serialisation, video, DVD, peel, rights etc for this great work

Great PrettyLily, that's one down and a bunch to go!

Val, who is wearing your hat? Please don't tell me its you?

O yes - meant to say - I am offering a prize - a banana - to anyone who can guess where my bananas are kept, on account of my  a.m. visitors?

Hello Cheryl: No, it's not me. It's a young lady I spotted (ha!) outside tha main Post Office at York, England, a couple of weeks ago. Vizma thinks it's me, but I use different coloured eye shadow. Join the Vizz'n'Val Discussion for more loony toons.

I mop my brow in relief :-))))!

Cheryl, I bet you put your banana in the middle of your swimming pool.  Do I win?

Cheryl, I think you keep your bananas on the chair in your studio so you won't sit down and stop working no matter how many days have gone by.

My guess is Cheryl like these little guys.  Therefore her home is surrounded with BANANA trees and she is surrounded by monkeys.  It's a monkey party 24/7! 

UUURRRGG!! Its going to be SO BORING after all these great answers - but there's not a correct one among them :-)))! I'll give you 12 more hours... and counting....

OH NO not there!  Please don't tell us that you keep them in the frig.

THE FRIG!!! :-))) - I'm laughing - NO WAYS - what do you think this is??? Africa??? :-))!

Here we have Brass Monkey Weather (and so it's obvious where the monkeys keep their bananas). The outside temperature at 21.30 CET is minus 5, and the wind is blowing at 90+ kph, which combine to make a Brass Monkey Temperature of about minus 15.If I had wanted to get my bananas frozen like this then wouldn't have come to live in the South of France. Val

frozen bananas? How 'bout with choco and sprinkles on top? Yummy!

Where does Cheryl keep her bananas...from those ever-lovin' cute and cuddly monkeys? Awwww (they are mail art thieves, watch out!)

In a banana box, of course...like Erni ;-)

Delicious Choco Banana, Katerina!  Yummy...

For my next guess, I will say that Cheryl keeps the bananas in her apron pocket.  That way she is ready to reward the monkeys, with a banana snack, any time they exhibit good behaviour.  :-)  Am I right, Cheryl? 

Ok - 12 hours is up. Please don't tell them - so far its working :-) X

Baked Bananas!  My favorite!

Once I read that if you put a banana in the freezer it would taste lovely and feel like an  icecream.  Well, do not try this, it is awful.

Erni is in a banana box...but Cheryl's banana are in the oven!

I am sure that those mean monkeys do not get any "rewards"!

Sent to Amy Irwen.  My Banana works are slowly peeling their way out to you all.

News Flash: Same Banana family, different slope arrived chez Susan McAllister.  Her mailperson is still in shock.
