I like reading that I'm invisible.

I like that when I quote another post, it doesn't show up in bold.

I like the control panel.

I like believing that Manu will put the "Cancel" feature back in PM.

Most of all, I like the madcap, high-spirited antics of the new, more prominently positioned banana. I like that he keeps dancing and dancing, the same dance-step over and over and over, over and over. Do what you do best, as they say. See him over there? No, but you would if you'd been here while I typed this. He's just to the right of the typing field, about an inch lower than the field's top edge.

You can't miss him. Miss seeing him, I mean. You can easily miss him with a pistol, if it's a cheap one, and if you've never fired one before. I didn't miss him when I changed my settings but I missed the other enhancements. So I turned them back on. And by god, there he was. Dancing. Little fella must go through white nurse shoes like I plan to go through valium, if I can get some from the kid who sold me the pistol. Tough on the feet, I bet. But the new, improved, all-animated-all-the-time dancing banana dances through the pain. Look at him. Really, right now. Look at him, dammit!

I'm reminded of a Deep Thought by Jack Handy: "Isn't a lot of so-called 'tap dancing' just nervous legs?" Also, "Will tap dancers of the future dance faster and faster until one of them breaks the tap barrier? And will his legs fall off?" I like Jack Handy. I like that the banana reminds me of him! 'Tap barrier.' Haha.

Sometimes I'm able to tune out the banana for a few minutes. When that happens, he misses me. I like that. If he misses me a lot, he shrieks at me in the shrill, wheezy, nasal voice that is unique to cartoon produce: "HEY! WHATCHA DOIN' OVER THERE? GUESS WHAT I'M DOIN'. I'M DANCIN'! WATCH ME DANCE!

which makes a nice break in my day. Usually, I remember what I was typing and

"HEY! IT SAYS YOU'RE INVISIBLE! IS THAT WHY I NEVER SEE YOU DANCE? I LOVE TO DANCE! I HOPE THEY NEVER MAKE ME INVISIBLE. I'D HATE IT IF YOU COULDN'T SEE ME DANCIN'. ARE YOU WATCHING? WATCH ME, OKAY?"

It's true that I didn't like the banana when I first saw him over there. But I like him now. Him, or it. Whatever. I like it. I like it. I like it a lot.

I hate that damned banana.

But I love the one-step text download of all mail messages. Brilliant.

Sher, the tap is nada; you break the wit barrier all the time. I love when you're in pain (hope you take that in a good way).

It's just more funnerer!
Humor interpretor from French Embassy:

"He is a banana, but he dances. It's funny! How can you not laugh? Funnier than this, you don't get anymore; not without clown paint or Jerry Lewis. 'Hey Ladeeee!' Even you must admit, that was funny."

Now it makes sense. It's French humor. That's why I didn't get it at first.

You get to PM? I can't find it in Aria mode. Relegated to copy/paste.

Enh, the banana is still in Travolta mode, the frog sticks out its tongue, and ROWR on the pussy :D But, is it so bad, or are you an Alice unwilling to change? In a wonderland of no wonder or pornification. Think of nana in the way one thinks of an excited cock :confused: :D about what it is doing there, alone.


LOL sorry ;)

Now that's E.L. Mencken.
 
I am not impressed by the banana. It lacks a peel.

I’ve seen Fred Astaire, and banana is no Fred Astaire.

Nor Gene Kelley, nor Bojangles Robinson.

More like Mickey Rooney in the barn before Judy has cleared the cows out so they can put on a show!
 
Jack Handy......A genius among geniuses.

A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."

~WOK....that's dynamite baby....
 
Should I be concerned with the fact that the banana dances sometimes and other times does not? Cause right now he ain't movin'.

I like that the current version is New and Improved With Added Gosling Goodness.

On the other hand, I really miss the old blush icon. This little guy :eek: just doesn't do it.

Nope, but as Cloudy says, he's trying! :D

oops ... ignore previous post

THIS is the quote that reminds me of that commercial on TBS ... where people phone the TBS call center for a ruling on whether something is funny or not
