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. ;-)

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

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

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, Val tells me that Anna Banana was once married by Mail Art.  So maybe you can send something to Val, and we can have a Mail Art wedding.  Jen Stagg has already had a Mail Art baby, so anythng is possible in Mail Art.

My guess is that child support could be paid for with stamps!

Read Them and Weep (not a German expression)

So after more than 3 months, I completed my bingo board with 25 plus one I won from Val in a poker game.

So off it goes to Anna Banana and I win to have lunch with her.  Now to save for the airfare!

Ptrzia, My German grandmother always told us that bananas were bent so that they could go around corners easier.  I never really believed her, but it did make sense.

this banana conversation is quite fun Dean and it brings to mind another saying german friends of mine say when there is an unnswerable question...warum warum ist die Banane krum? (why is the banana bent?). It comes from a children's rhyme...I love the expression!

I think there is an old German saying my Grandmother use to tell me; "The Early bird gets the Banana".  The German saying is a little different because Worms is actually the name of a town, and that would have been confusing.  Also there are not very many Banana trees in Germany, so Bananas are really special, and a good reason to get up early in the morning.

This is great Erni, I'm still laughing.  A little hint, Bob Dylan & I were born in the same State ... crying.

Dear other Band members,

It should be noted that Erni posted this at 4:59am.  What Banana dedication!  Thank you Erni, now go back to sleep.
