A bit of banal pettifoggery

Settle down everyone, he just meant that he does things that are a bit unorthodox.  Nothing wrong here.  I think a read over this thread will show there is nothing inappropriate here.  We have done very well keeping things appropriate.  But, to make use of the thread still, I have to say that I learned what he is talking about two years ago.  I was bored and saw something about how to correctly peel a banana…the way monkeys do.  I had one for breakfast every day this week, and have never peeled it the usual way since.  Take a look, seriously.  I do it this way now, much easier:

I considered this somewhat on topic cause the topic is “A bit of Banal Pettifoggery.”  I think it fits haha.  But in case it doesn’t, wear something comfy to yo-yo, then have a banana for breakfast.

I love it!

I’m going to try it now!

(If I can find a banana…)

^

I did it!

I love it!!!

Shadowz, once you try it that way…you will never go back. Monkeys are smarter than we are lol. They use that stem part as a handle and pinch what we call the bottom, and it opens quick…no hassle. The only thing I don’t like about peeling this way is that when you open it, there’s the little part at the tip that’s hard, cause you literally get down to the very tip. I usually bite that little bit off and throw it away.

Ah, the monkey maybe smarter than we think, but I still wear pants …therefore, I am the bigger gentleman .

That was a crazy video. I will try that too!!

The silver back gorila is 98.6% human

You’d better…the most banana eating for breakfast guy I know. You buy bananas more often than purple and green yo-yos. Also, if you’re bored, search “how monkeys eat bananas” on youtube and you will be fascinated and even more fascinated that you’re watching monkeys eat bananas. It’s something we’ve done all our lives and never realized that there was a better way. Just made me feel soooo dumb. :-[

We can therefore extrapolate that humans are 98.6% silverback gorilla.

I gotta fight this urge to eat the rest of the bananas at the house.

Screw it, I’m just gonna beat my chest a bit and then run around the house yelling at everyone. Oh wait, that’s any given day of the week. Oh, it’s 4:00PM, no wonder. It’s that time!

yeah, I learned this banana trick a few years back. This method also eliminates those stingy thingys when you peel from the stem. But I have to do this before I get dressed for work because I just can’t do it with cuffs around my wrists.

Speaking of that, now with the cooler weather coming back upon us I am once again running into…

Hey all! I just did some yoyoing while wearing a hoody. It wasn’t bad!

(jumps out of a different window)

I do that all the time…

what…jump through windows?

I sky dive out of planes in a hoodie to yo-yo, erryday.

Yoyoing with hoodies on

;D Got it.

I tried this once, but the yoyo hit me in such a way that it convinced me never to try it again. Ill let you guys puzzle out where I was struck. :wink:

You were hit in the neck, and got string burn on your neck, right?
