For a long time, I thought I had dreamt up the Banana Man, because no one else remembered him. NOW I have video evidence of his existance. So there.

Marie, thanks for posting The Banana Man. I remember him from a circus TV show when I was little. He struck me as so weird but fascinating. I did a quick search; it appears the Capt. Kangaroo film is the only one.

A little behind the curve with this news!
UNITED KINGDOM – News headlines went bananas last week after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their engagement, and apparently, the couple is also a little, well, bananas for a certain yellow produce variety. While no fresh produce was harmed, or used, to reveal their engagement, the couple has already kicked wedding planning into high gear and are set to have a banana-flavored wedding cake at their May ceremony.

The secret is out now! I heard the Bride and Groom cake toppers will be chocolate monkeys.

[h=1]Bluth's Original Frozen Banana" is a frozen banana stand started by George in 1953 as part of the Bluth Company. It is located on the Oceanside Wharf boardwalk, on Balboa Island in Newport Beach. Throughout the series, the banana stand gets destroyed and rebuilt several times.[/h]

Haven't bought a banana for years. Have a clump of trees down the backyard which just keep fruiting and regenerating (suckers).
Not big fruit or huge bunches but hey, they'll do us.

Hello, I'm new here and don't mean to be a grouch, but bananas are a horrid thing to eat if we care even a little bit about our earth and its people.
Their cultivation and shipping has destroyed lands, displaced people and destroyed traditional cultures. They are shipped in huge cargo haulers which burn the worst of polluting fuels.
Sorry if I sound ornery, I'm not really. But we need to know how damaging some of our diet is to other humans, the land, water and air.
