I'm eating a banana split for lunch

[Winston Smith]

I don't know what you're having for lunch today, but I'm willing to bet it's not as tasty as a banana split.

SmithWife is out running errands with the littl'uns, and I'm unemployed, so I've got nobody to set a good example for during the next hour or so.

Mmm...

Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper, or Snorky?

Bingo. With fava beans (and a nice Chiante).

Isn't it divine to be an adult? This is what we always said we'd do!

I totally shocked my then 5 or 6 year old son by allowing us to eat chocolate cake for breakfast once. He suggested it as a joke, and when I shrugged and said, "Sure, why not?" he looked like this:

That's because you're a cool mom.

[Omegaman]

That's why I like you so Winston . You really know how to live life to the fullest.

You got your fruit, you got your dairy, and if you add nuts you got your protein.

What could be more nutrious?

No, me! I'm the motherless little girl - one mother who birthed me and one who adopted me and neither really loved me.

WhyNot, please adopt me? I'm independent and all I want is a little love!

We did have a big glass of milk with the cake, as I recall. "Part of this complete breakfast!"

Of course, y'all are grownups now. You COULD go get your own chocolate cake, y'know!

Hmmm....I wonder what time the toddler would go to bed if we had banana splits for dinner...

The lightbulb goes on!

WhyNot--well, there is a Second Cup near the library, but I'm sure your cake is much better

Hee. When my parents had people over we would have the leftover dessert for breakfast the next day. Or we would have leftover birthday cake the next day. That may be where I got the habit of pouring milk over cake; it would make it more like cereal.

And once I had a pint of Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey for breakfast. Hey, it has banana, just like cereal can.

[Merkwurdigliebe]

This reminds me of a Jim Gaffigan bit on cake.... Goes something like this?

Who said you can't have cake for breakfast? what about muffins? Who are we kidding? It's just a bald cupcake. What about pancakes?

'Dad can I have cake for breakfast?'
'Cake, oh hell no, you're having fried cake with syrup. Why don't you eat that and try not to nap'

[yellowval]

Sometimes when my sister is visiting my mom will make what we call "junk supper." Basically you get out all the junk food you can find and have an all-you-can-eat buffet. It's great fun.

Yabbut it's totally different when Mom says you can.

I haven't had a banana split since drug store soda fountains disappeared. I loved them.

And one fountain in my home town made one with a grand flourish and called it a Chocolate Marshmallow Banana Nut Smash.

Sorry, Anaamika, I must use my powers where the need is greatest:

[MOM VOICE] David Middlename Simmons! Stop being a darn fool and enjoy the good things in life once in a while! Get your backside to the nearest Premium Ice Creme Parlor and order yourself a banana split and DON'T let me see your pixels in here again without hot fudge smeared on them, young man![/MOM VOICE]

[Hockey Monkey]

I had peaches, pound cake, and homemade whipped cream for supper tonight. I love being a grown-up!

[Chronos]

Hee. When my parents had people over we would have the leftover dessert for breakfast the next day.

Amen. I've never had cake for breakfast, but in my family, if there's any leftover pie in the house, it would be considered heresy to have anything else for breakfast.

Also in my family, waffles and impossible apple cobbler are considered perfectly acceptable supper choices.

I agree! He needs the attention more!

Anyone remember that Bill Brassky sketch from SNL where they would make the outrageous claims about their friend. Well in one episode it was claimed that he hunted down and killed all the Banana Splits and that all of them begged for their lives...Except for Fleagle!







Take from that what you will.

Some Rite Aids still have the Thrifty ice cream counters. I was much surprised to find this out when I had to stop off in Canyon Country for some Excedrin. Mmmm malt ball ice cream! I'm not sure if they still make a banana split, but I'd bet some do. I guess this gives me an excuse to investigate the CC Rite Aid further when I come home from my last final on Friday.

Me, I had pizza for breakfast, a burrito for lunch, and a sensible bomb pop and martini dinner (I added extra olives for the fiber).

You've got to realize that out here in the boondocks we don't have a Premium Ice Creme Parlor. Hell, we're still using hand crank phones and steam radios. Besides, I eschew places that use "Creme" in the name.

And for Queen Bruin we do have a Rite-Aid but they don't have an ice cream bar.

I don't think the one in Lancaster does, either, but it's been ages since I've been in that one. The last time I was in it it was still called "Thrifty" and it had a Lucky's next door.

It was damn near serendipitous to find one in Canyon Country though!

Mmm...'nana spilt at a soda fountain, I'm with you there.

They closed the one at Perkin's Drug Store when I was a lil' kid. My aunt Barbara used to take me. We'd have a tuna melt and we'd share a 'nana split (yeah, but that's how I said it when I was a kid.)

Miss that.

We use to have this for breakfast and call it "poached egg on toast." The pound cake was the toast, the peach half the egg yolk and the whipped cream the white.

Banana splits remind me of the time I went to Amsterdam with a friend of mine. We got really stoned, and then went to a restaurant (the ones with the pictures of the food on the outside) and got steaks. At the end, we all decided to eat a banana split. We thought it was so hilarious, because when would you see three mid-twenties aged dudes all eating a banana split for desert?

[si_blakely]

No Banana Split for lunch here, just a split banana

I like choclate cake for breakfast. 'Specially the chocolate frosted devil's food doughnuts from the Casey's out on the highway. It's round, it's got a hole in the middle, that makes it breakfast food!

We usually just had eggs or cereal for breakfast, but Mom would sometimes make pancakes for dinner because she had the time to make them from scratch.

The only other time we had pancakes was Christmas morning.
