Strange fruit goes well with some weird sauce.
Allow me to introduce you formally, and then strange fruit will be acquaintance fruit. Who knows, if you find you enjoy pleasant conversation, you may actually go on to know it as friend fruit. In which case, if it has something delicate to tell you, it may also become frank frute.
Well thank you for the introduction, but please tell me what are these strawberries doing on my…..?
Ah, those are the forward fruit. Just brush them off and ignore them.
……..
Did you notice that I didn’t go CRAZY this time?
Yes, yes I did. Forgot to compliment you on that. You’re doing much better. Obviously, the work that bluejade has done with you is paying off.
*gives bluejade some gum*
Why thank you! I don’t think I can take all the credit, tho.
It is strawberry flavor gum!
Title reference WIN!
agreed.
Either I’m tripping on acid, (which I’m not) or that glass is twisted into a curl…
The glass is straight, just the way you like them!
That’s so mean! And extremely funny.
Sorry, but how could I resist? *pats SS on the shoulder and gives him some chocolate*
Again, chocolate is bad for cats! You keep offering him some.
*takes chocolate, eats some, then barfs in bluejade’s lap*
Just nibble it, don’t inhale it! Next time I’ll offer you a dead mouse.
I only ate some of it! And yes, dead mice are better.
I really thought you cats preferred ‘em alive!
If they are alive, then I have to exert energy to catch them!
We have a lazy cat.
No, my cat is lazy! Her name is Houdini; we called her Dini for short. We call her Beans now. She is the Dini Beans.
…
Anyways, she is VERY lazy/fat/clunky! Even if you throw a toy mouse (or string) in her face, she will just give you a dirty look, and set there glaring at the string. She doesn’t try to get it off her, it just sits on her head. Did I mention that she is lazy?
Kittens are active and playful. Adult cats rarely are. It’s part of their instinctive adaptation to their hunting style. In the wild, a cat would crawl into a bit of brush and go to sleep. Since they awaken instantly at the sound of any nearby prey, after a while the critters would forget there’s a cat there and get close to the brush, and bingo! Dinner, acquired by a hunting style of sleeping.
Sounds like my other cat, Dharma. She sleeps under chairs, then wakes up when somebody walks by her: she then claws the living cheez out of them!
I’ve known lots of cats like that. It’s instinctive.
She will attack everybody but me. I mean everybody! I am the only person allowed to look at her without her growling/hissing! She usually sleeps on my chest at night. She lover her brudder.
*loves
Darn keyboard must be borken!
If I give him a live mouse, it will frighten la conejita. No possibility of a dead mouse running toward her. ( I feel the same way about rats.)
Hey la conejita, are you afraid of rats too?
Because if you aren’t, I would like to toss one at bluejade.
Also, I don’t like the part where they get tortured.
It’s the straw that’s twisted.
If the Fruit Tea comes with a straw, RUN AWAY! I don’t think any of us want to know about that particular secksual practice.
Billie Holliday would be proud.
Who?
Let’s not be so lazy as to be unwilling to google!
Fine. *googles la conejita* *whistles*
Google Lillian Smith while you’re at it.
Put in “strange fruit” along with “Billie Holliday” and you’ll see the connnection, and also understand the title up there. (We really need to see about giving out educational credits on this site. I can’t even enumerate all the things I’ve learned something about here. I wish all education could be this much fun!)
I think the song begat the novel. It was censored for a while.
Ditto on internet/ fun/ education. The internet can be somewhere between a museum and a cultural thrift store for me.
There was a copy of “Strange Fruit,” (the novel) in the house when I was a kid; I wasn’t supposed to read it. Hah!!
*gnaws on head to absorb knowledge*
Does that work for you?
I’m a rawr muffin, a muffin-cat, of course it does!
Just so you know I am not la conejita in other sites. So whatever results you get from that search, will not be relevant to me.
I didn’t mean…..the search engine………..I meant…..the……….um…
Oh noes! Tell me you didn’t TP la conejita!
Heheh!!
I refuse to have anything done to me without my consent. I also refuse to give my consent.
TP?
Toilet paper.
I KNOW he didn’t mean that.
That’s EXACTLY what I meant. What were YOU thinking?
I still don’t understand!
*googles la conejita again* Heheheh…….
Stop TPing la conejita!
*googles bluej-* wait……are you currently the female bluejade?
Let’s just hope the strange fruit in this drink isn’t the same one from the song… that would be extremely disturbing.
yes… very much so
I am still amazed that in the atmosphere of the times, this song was allowed to be played over the airwaves. It’s a reminder of the truth of what Springsteen said in one of my favorite songs, “We learned more from a 3-minute record, baby, than we ever learned in school.”
You’ve gotta tell them! Strange Fruit is people!
There is a scene in “The Skin” by Malaparte where he is on horseback in a grove and hears voices in the dark… from the trees.
LOL cats!
popcultural cross-reference win! XD
Proud or spinning in her grave , I don’t know which.
Wasn’t ‘Strange Fruit’ the name of the band in the film “Still Crazy”?
Mmm! Kiwi fruit! I’ll have a glass of that, but hold the sheep lube.
I thought it was a glass of lemon poppyseed muffin batter. Silly me.
Strange fruit go well with fried god and chicken anus.
Weird menu lol… Win!
Billie Holiday just rolled over in her grave.
I just hope they didn’t bury her still wearing handcuffs.
Was she a naughty girl?
It says kiwi juice in Korean at the bottom
Literally “strange fruit juice” in Chinese, but “qíyì” (strange) is rather intended to be an approximation of the pronunciation of “kiwi”.
That’s even more strange considering this fruit is a native of China. Don’t they have their own name for it?
Kiwi is like… from New Zealand yar? I dunno if the Kiwi fruit is from there too.. hence the name?
Love is you day good!
From the font of all knowledge
(aka Wikipedia):-
The kiwifruit, often shortened to kiwi in many parts of the world, is the edible berry of a cultivar group of the woody vine Actinidia deliciosa and hybrids between this and other species in the genus Actinidia. The Actinidia is native to North East Asia, particularly South China.
The most common cultivars of kiwifruit are oval, about the size of a large hen’s egg (5–8 cm / 2–3 in long and 4.5–5.5 cm / 1¾–2 in diameter). It has a fibrous, dull brown-green skin and bright green or golden flesh with rows of tiny, black, edible seeds. The fruit has a soft texture and a unique flavour, and today is a commercial crop in several countries, mainly in Italy, China, and New Zealand.
Also known as the Chinese gooseberry, the fruit was renamed for export marketing reasons in the 1950s; briefly to melonette, and then by New Zealand exporters to kiwifruit.
That sounds right, paws. Never heard that “melonette” name Down Here, though. I’m still wondering what the Chinese call it.
BTW the ones with the golden flesh have the best flavour, IMO.
Agreed, they have a finer flavor after a frost or two. It’s harder to find the golden ones.
Do you have pineapple guavas, aka feijoas? They are are delicious and addictive.
Scoop out a couple and put them in a smoothie, and you’ve got something.
Or when they are soft, squeeze them, bite the ends off and suck out their brains. Delicious!
I see no blood on the leaves nor blood at the root. What gives?
Though it does look strange. And bitter…
The bulging glass, the twisted straw…
I once said “context is everything” to someone who told me “jokes about lynching aren’t funny.”
If that wasn’t a nearly 15 year-old random IRC encounter, I’d probably be able to find them and redirect them to the title of this photo.
