The theme is Bananas & Anna Banana.  Many of our members are « bananas » themselves, others are »fruity », a few are « nutty », and one is completely « ape ».
If you are none of these, don’t worry we can help you with specially designed projects and exams for your progress to the banana status you deserve.
We will also explore the many works of Anna Banana as we give appreciation for involvement in Mail Art & "Art".
PS I you are « crackers » or « loony », this group may not be for you.

I received this photo from Cheryl H. who is not yet a Banana Band member, but if she does things like this, she would move to the top of the class!

Yes Dean, it does come in a jar. Many different kinds, in fact, take your pick. But Jiffy is rotten stuff--don't drive all over France looking for it.

Middle-age spread?  Is that something that comes in a jar?  I like Jiffy myself, but it so hard to find in France.

Thank goodness that hot lava / banana question is finally cleared up. It's been giving me insomnia for years.

MA Martha, your Julian looks *exactly* like my Cookie, except Cookie is older and has middle-age spread.

Ah Welcome ARAC, so you didn't fall into the loony or crackers catagory then!  Happy to see you in the Banana Band, so peel away.

For everyone's information, ARAC I normally refer to as "Lava Lamps" for short, and so that there is no confusion with ABAB.  Besides, what I have seen, "Lava Lamps" seems to match her personality as well !!!  This should be fun.

A special one for DK :

 Hot Lava or Bananas

Where do bananas come from?  It was later discovered that bananas came from deep inside the centre of the earth and were pushed out to the surface by hot lava.  The hot lava then created the land for the banana to grow.  This theory also puts an end to the ever on going question; Which came first, the hot lava or bananas?
This also explains why banana like hot climates and islands.
Moral of the story; Bananas should never be keep in the refrigerator.

 France Goes Bananas, or nearly (One of mine sent to a no longer member, but thought that I would share it with you Bananas.)

 

It was later discovered that the French where not prepared for the 2012 leap year and still only had 365 cheeses.  So on the 28th of February 2012 it was decided to create and island off the west coast of France where banana cheese would be produced by milking bananas every day.  The banana milk would be used in a French traditional way  to make cheese.  However, the strikes have already begun and the Normans say that the Bretons are more banana then they are, and it should be the Bretons who milk the bananas.  It is unlikely that France will see their 366th cheese before the end of the year.
Moral of the story; You can take a Banana to France, but you can’t get him milked, or is it that you should never keep bananas in the refrigerator.

oh yes! bananas will get you high, if they are filled with catmint and you are a cat.

I gave Julian a toy monkey and a friend following the theme gave him a banana filled with catmint. See the result:I cannot get photos of the manic phase because he runs around too fast, this is the final collapse.

Welcome to Lisa / Skybridge Studios to the Banana Band.  Thanks for your logo, you are on the right track.  Very funny.
