I thought of the fruit. Last night, I pan broiled a couple of pork chops, surrounded by apple slices. Blackberries? I think of jam. ---

[QUOTE=brewha] I was wondering why people don’t use more descriptive subject lines. The mouse over intrigued me, so I came in to have a look. I actually did the mouse over to see if you were talking about fruit or computers - I hadn’t made up my mind. [/QUOTE] Me too. I wonder if it’s about the fruit or the computer? Saw the weird mouse over and came in to see what this was all about. ---

I thought of the fruit. The specific mental image was of the apples in the game Oblivion, as I’ve been playing that game a lot lately. Then, suspecting that this could be a poll about our respective favorite kinds of apples, I thought of spartan apples. ---

I clicked in to see \*which \*apple the thread was about, actually. Especially with the recent rash of Apple / Mac / iPod threads around here. Though, I usually tend to think “_Apple, Inc_” when I hear “Apple” but think of the fruit when I hear “Apples”. ---

Loo, loo, loo. I’ve got some apples, loo, loo, loo. That’s what I thought of. ---

Fruit came to mind. I was expecting a poll about favorite varieties or something of the sort. I would also have likely thought about computer (or reasonable facsimiles thereof) had the ‘s’ in the thread title been absent. ---

I paused to wonder how comes I always feel hungry after eating an apple. And secondly, how comes I can’t get Mac Reds anymore. ☹ ---

I thought of both simultaneously. I live in Wenatchee, WA, the self-proclaimed “Apple Capitol of the World”, and I’m posting on my Apple computer. ---

BOTH I clicked on it to see which… I ate an apple once… the mother board was the hardest… regards FML ---

Fruit. But then, I just got here after spending an hour on Gardenweb. ---

The fruit. If you’d just said Apple, I would have though of the company. ---

[QUOTE=A.R. Cane] Fruit, but I think if you’d used the singular I would have probably thought of the company. [/QUOTE] Ditto. Partly probably inspired by the fact that I have an apple (fruit) in front of me on my desk right now. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/apples/393235.md?page=2)
