  1. dr handle says:

    A day with prunes is like a day without sunshine…

  2. JohnB says:

    Sounds to me like a phrase from an overwrought old poet, something like,

    In that eon of time when we
    Pass from the fruits of the vines of youthful passion
    To encounter yet again
    The prunes of longing in our golden age…

    • Starsky says:

      Prune poetry! Awesome!

      Maybe it should be a Haiku:

      Ripe Plum, now sun dried
      Make me regular today
      Prunes of my Longing

    • Crashdaddy says:

      Never has such an unworthy food been so beautifully honored. (sniff)

    • dr handle says:

      There was a young lady named June
      Who found that she longed for a prune,
      But a bowl of dried plum
      Went straight to her bum –
      She’s been in the dunny since noon.

  3. Rafiq of the Many says:

    Better than prunes of burning.

  4. JohnB says:

    It could also be the title of the memoirs of an exotic dancer who happened to dance in clubs that were uncomfortably convenient to old-age homes and retirement communities.

  5. JohnB says:

    Or, still yet, the title of a paean to the joys of anile sex.

  6. JohnB says:

    They, whom constipation hurts most foully, eat the prunes of longing, chased by the milks of magnesia.

  7. A Noun says:

    They were once the Plums of Love.

    *weep*

  8. PoodleGroomer says:

    The prunes are shorting instead of longing morning meditations. I don’t even get through the comics.

  9. KinkyTom says:

    As a real man myself I cant go a single day without having one or else I wont be able to bend and be erect to any circumstance.

  10. JohnB says:

    I refuse to let Sir Cumstance mess around with me! I’m a real man!

  11. Dr. Mopotimmus. says:

    These are old news…the i-prune is soon to realease at the Mac store. It’s twice as expensive as the prune of longing, but it greatly extends your capacity to long.

    • JohnB says:

      I, for one, think I’ve longed long enough! Why would I want more??

      • KinkyTom says:

        because in this life you can never have enough longing! :D

        also…

        The Zune Prune I think is a way better deal because it’s cheaper and has even more longing inside than the I-Prune.

  12. Incivist says:

    What douece book can I find them in?
    I want to use them in my next campaign…

  13. GarraOfTheFunk says:

    Prunes of longing? The way I see it, this is:
    some kind of spell on a pedo MMORPG
    ~OR~
    blue balls.

  14. navg says:

    The translation is actually correct, it’s named so in Chinese perhaps because the unique sour and sweet taste feels just like that…

  15. Cat says:

    Haha, this sounds like the title of a romance novel for old ladies.

  16. AsianGuy12345 says:

    Bet you there’s a DND item called the Prunes of Longing. :P

  17. Mark. Gooley says:

    So it’s an accurate translation? I thought it might mean “dried longans.”

  18. too literal fails says:

    this is correct translation, although probably too literal since english speaking people aren’t as likely to name their products really poetically unlike the chinese

  19. Skyser says:

    After eating these prunes, I long to go to the bathroom…

  20. Fairygreen says:

    It looks like li hing mui. We used to eat these as kids in Hawaii. They are salty, sweet and sour at the same time. I think they taste wonderful, but everyone I’ve given them to thinks I am nuts!

  21. JohnB says:

    Any country that has “prunes of longing” has clearly not lost the joys of simple things. Here in the jaded US, where my daughter, who got every single thing on her Christmas list and plenty more, complained of boredom not two hours after opening all her gifts, we’ve clearly lost that.

  22. lu-P says:

    starsky, i really had a zazen moment there, so this has been quite fruitful.
