I'll level with you: it hasn't been the kind of start we expected when Sam and I first started writing a blog. We figured if we gave it a couple months, the money and women would be rolling in soon enough. Turns out our expectations on the whole sex/drugs/rock and roll aspect of writing on a blog once a month were a tad high.
I'm not sure Sam checks the blog anymore, and sometimes I feel like I'm writing for my own personal benefit. So here's my experiment: I'm going to lay down something that's been on my chest for awhile - the most overrated fruits and vegetables - and see how long Sam takes to mention it to me. I put the over-under at 3 weeks, right around exam time. Good luck!
2. Bananas - Let me make it clear: I am a huge fan of the banana. I eat a banana a day at least. But the whole hype over this disease that's supposed to wipe it out is overblown. I really don't care enough to get pumped up for some Save The Banana! campaign. We've got scientists and they seem pretty smart: if they can whip up an H1N1 vaccine in a couple months I'm sure they can get their shit together over a piece of fruit. And if not, I'll just eat more apples. And banana-cream flavored puddings. No sweat.
1. Oranges - Don't get me wrong: I'm a huge fan of mandarins, clementines, and the whole juice thing but a regular orange? Pass. It's way too much effort to prepare and eat to make it a viable snack and it's taste doesn't match anything outside of very specific breakfasts. Yet this fruit has its own popular saying (apples and oranges, matched with the powerhouse apple no less), its own linguistic claim to fame (big whoop, it doesn't rhyme with anything) its own joke (a knock-knock joke, which doesn't count for shit), and is served at halftime at kids' soccer games worldwide. You want to help your team out? Stop cutting up little orange slices and give us Gatorade. Fuck the orange.
