Just bought another 5 freakin’ pounds of them to go with the other 10 or so pounds I’ve already bought here and there. It was for a good cause (Children’s Miracle Network) but still it’s just me here. I really don’t need more.
Too many cherries don’t make you sick? I swear, for the summer at least, I would subsist on an all-fruit diet if it wouldn’t make me have poops like a lorikeet.
Why a lorikeet, may I ask?
I can eat cherries until I make myself sick. That and watermelon and corn on the cob. Ah, the on,y part I like about summer.
They eat all fruit diets. I would love to have one but I don’t want to have to clean up after them!
Not sick per se, but the pooping part happens. As Col. Potter would say: “Best thing since the Gatling gun.”
To be fair, I have frozen some and intend to freeze some of this last purchase.
Ok, love, you posted this right after your poop comment. I mean, I know you meant cherries. It was just, for a second…
Ah, another MASH fan.
My favorite show of all time.
My name is perfectparanoia and I am also a cherry junkie.
I have eaten (no joke) 40 pounds so far this year and have another 5 in my fridge.
And, yes, there have been very interesting poops. But so worth it.
I bird-sat a rainbow lorikeet once. Beautiful bird, but it squirted poop while hanging onto the cage front.
Did you feed it cherries?
Yeah, cherries…that’s it, frozen cherries. Not the other thing. I’d never do that.
Everything but. A commercial nectar food and assorted fruit. 
I’m there, too. I keep buying them and buying them and eating them and eating them…
Be careful, thought. A few years ago I was partaking and not paying attention and I broke a tooth on a cherry pit. It was on a Sunday, no less. Rushed right to the emergency dentist, got it fixed, went home, and and finished the bag. Chewed very mindfully and carefully, which I have done ever since.
I eat anywhere from 15 to 40 cherries a day during the summer. I hesitate to think what that translates to weight wise. I do know that I ate 1.67 pounds one saturday as I finished the whole bag that I had just bought at the grocery.
I’ve also made several jars of cherry jam and am soaking a couple of pounds in rum.
I love cherries.
I love cherries, but they give me nuclear farts. The stench is ungodly and lingers for a long time. So I’ve kind of given them up, because eating them means I can’t be near other people for like 3 hours and I have to put up with the room smelling like a port-a-potty, which can become draining. And then there’s the possibility of sharting.
Since this is about cherries, I’ll move it to CS.
Cherries are the best fruit ever. The only comparisons are a really juicy pear or a winesap apple right from the tree but even an ordinary cherry still bests them. They’ve been quite expensive this summer but I’ve been indulging anyway.
Well, my standard drinking liquid is Cherry Coke Zero. Used to be the regular stuff until the Diabetes.
Rainier Cherry season is my favorite time of the year and I am deeply disappointed that those bastards in South America aren’t growing them so I can have them in winter.
