PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Bananagate: how did you tell your family?" |
So, this inflatable banana came in the mail. How did you explain this to your family/housemates? What were their reactions?I got word from the lovely Nookie that Bruiser will be visiting me the first weekend in March. Yay! Then I got thinking, okay, so I open the mail, blow up the banana, give it a place at the dinner table, make up a bed, take pictures...my God, people. DH and the kittens are going to think I'm several kibbles short of a full bag! It's bad enough that DH thinks you're all a bunch of axe murderers, and that Catt is really a fat, bald prison inmate with multiple rape convictions and a hairy back. (I must say, though, that he is very intrigued about my blonde lesbian friend from California named "Knockers.") So how did you explain Bruiser and how did the family react? I'm going to tell DH and the kittens tonight at the dinner table. I'll post their reactions later. Incessant whining.

My wife looked at me like I had grown a second nose. I think her exact words were, "you are a stupid, insane, freak!" Then I told her that I was planning on taking our daughter to the AF Museum to meet people and take pictures with the banana. She directed me to always stay in a public place and take the cell phone. Actually, when she saw the pictures afterward, I think she secretly thought it was kind of cool. A lovely creation by the lovely Syren I said, "Of course I am a stupid, insane, freak. I married you, didn't I?"

Well, seeing as I have never had Bruiser sent to me, I made the choice to travel to him!!I told the fam about it and they were very excited....we breed 'em weird here in the Hoosier state....and were gellus of my travels far and wide to see this awesome yellow pool toy! So, I travelled through Indiana, Ohio, Pennesylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia to be a part of the wonder that is Bruiser. He truly is worth driving hundreds of miles for. Oh yeah, so were the many peeps I met because of him! SurBear, BEG, Nookie, Esbea, Woe, CSTL, Beav, Puffy, Deb, Mr. Puffy, Mr. Nookie, Silver Star, Glow, Geggy, and Emy are forever in my book as truly insane peeps who braved the stares, laughs, and stupid questions while hanging with that charming 'nana!! Long live Bruiser! *giggle* I Will Arrive...

I was lucky with DH. He has a Greatful Dead board that he posts on and we have met a bunch of peeps from there so me posting on this board was no big deal. As I have mentioned before, he used to refer to JV as my "internet boyfriend." We regularly refer to peeps on the board during a discussion. In fact, he was curious this morning as to what you guys thought about the half-time show.With the extended family--well I had it easy there too due to Webby giving me a ticket to see the Survivor finale. Although, whenever I refer to the site, I always say "Oh I read it on that site where I WON the finale ticket." The banana was a little more difficult to explain but once people got past the whole internet/sketchy peeps bad rap, they all had fun with it. The marina owner's wife still asks me where the banana currently is.

My family upon hearing that a girl I’ve never met would be arriving with a three-foot banana for me to bring back to Miami:“Will they be staying for dinner, and if so, will the banana be a guest or a menu item?” A Kittyloaf®Original *"I'M so excited to touch the banana that you guys all touched.

LOL! I love reading all your stories At first, Mr. Nookie thought it was a little strange that I would spend time organizing a Banana Tour, but now thinks it's a hoot. He had no problem carrying Bruiser around when we had him. My family, on the other hand, have no idea about Bruiser. When I took Bruiser to Chattanooga, and took pics of the Chattanooga Choo Choo Train, DH told me I should send the pics to my Mom cause she'd enjoy seeing the train. However, Bruiser was in all the pics and I couldn't bring myself to try explaining that to her LOL. I also think my step-sons would think I'm totally insane if they knew about Bruiser.
