[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:12:16 PM] <Shiral> Well, we know how Evie's mind works
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:12:20 PM] <jemler> because they made paper clips
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:12:23 PM] <Evie> The...um...narrow stem bits were intersecting with other bananas in very suggestive ways
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:12:30 PM] * Sarah facepalms after throwing a book at jemler.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:12:31 PM] <KK> LOL
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:12:55 PM] <Evie> and DH agreed that the sculpture could be nothing else but flying mating bananas. :D
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:13:15 PM] <Shiral> It gives a whole new meaning to the "Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just glad to see me" saying
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:13:16 PM] <KK> So, they mate on the wing, er, peel, eh?
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:13:23 PM] <Evie> Apparently
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:13:25 PM] <KK> LOL, Shiral.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:13:50 PM] <Jerusha> I may never be able to look a banana in the eye again
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:13:51 PM] <Evie> You would have to have a huge pocket. Each "banana" was about six feet long
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:13:51 PM] <Shiral> Banana Mating Flights
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:13:57 PM] <jemler> it could be a vienna sausage!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:14:17 PM] <Evie> Exactly, Shiral! Apparently bananas have mating flights in swarms
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:14:22 PM] <Evie> or at least giant metal ones do
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:14:30 PM] <KK> How are they propelled? Do they levitate, or what?
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:14:30 PM] <kirienne> LOL
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:14:40 PM] <KK> Anti-grav?
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:14:54 PM] <the_Bee> They make propeller with their peels
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:14:56 PM] <Shiral> Time flies like a metal banana
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:15:01 PM] <Sarah> lol, Shiral
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:15:18 PM] <Evie> They were built in the center of a large staircase, and intersected in such a way that the swarm of bananas went up several stories, IIRC
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:15:22 PM] <Sarah> Maybe they convinced a few people to throw them strategically?
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:15:25 PM] <KK> You must take a picture and post it on the website. I think we all need to see these flying mating bananas.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:15:29 PM] <Alkari> This sounds like the plot of a new SF movie - The Invasion of the Mating Metal Bananas
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:15:38 PM] <Evie> Or maybe they were just beside the staircase. At any rate, it was a large open area
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:15:43 PM] <jemler> bananas procreate via mitosis, hence the banana split!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:15:44 PM] <DesertRose> A very poor quality SF movie. :P
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:15:45 PM] <Alkari> All we need is Tom Cruise to the rescue ...
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:15:46 PM] <Dennis> Flying Banana Mating would be a good name for a band.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:16:05 PM] <Evie> If I'm ever in that building again, I'll try to get a photo. I haven't been in there in decades.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:16:07 PM] <Sarah> Or a new sundae..
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:16:07 PM] <KK> Good one, Jemler!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:16:29 PM] <KK> THey may not even be there anymore, then.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:17:07 PM] <Evie> I have no idea. The building was close to where DH used to work, and we used to go through the atrium on the way to that building's Food Court when I'd have lunch with him.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:17:27 PM] <Evie> But he hasn't worked there in at least 18 years. He got another job soon after DS was born.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:17:28 PM] <jemler> how did you judge the food?
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:18:03 PM] <Shiral> Well no wonder 'mating' was on your minds at the time, Evie:P
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:18:08 PM] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:18:08 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:18:26 PM] <Jerusha> LOL
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:18:28 PM] <Evie> I guess it must have been, since DD came along less than 3 years later.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:19:39 PM] <Alkari> a 3 year pregnancy??!!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:19:49 PM] <jemler> ouch!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:19:58 PM] <Evie> LOL! Um, no, not so much. :D
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:20:06 PM] <Evie> I meant that was my breeding time of life in general.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:20:12 PM] <Evie> not that I'm an elephant!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:20:18 PM] <Shiral> What fertility treatments did you use?" "Oh, we looked at this statue that looked like metal mating bananas.."
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:20:37 PM] * Sarah chocks on her dinner.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:20:42 PM] <Sarah> chokes*
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:20:46 PM] <KK> LOL
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:20:48 PM] <Jerusha> Freud would be intrigued
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:20:49 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:21:03 PM] <Dennis> Or terrified, Jerusha.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:21:11 PM] <Evie> "So, honey, what now? Some banana pudding?" "No, that statue is putting me in mind of something completely different that doesn't involve Vanilla Wafers. Usually."
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:21:11 PM] <Shiral> That city would have a constant baby boom if it actually worked
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:21:49 PM] * Shiral puts a box of vanilla wafers on the virtual sundae bar
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:22:05 PM] <Evie> How did the chat devolve from modern art to Evie's sex life anyway? *puzzled look*
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:22:10 PM] <DesertRose> LOl
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:22:12 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:22:29 PM] <Shiral> "Mating"
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:22:35 PM] <Jerusha> Can't imagine
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:22:40 PM] <Dennis> It was fault of the alcohol discussion from before.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:22:50 PM] <Shiral> Lowered our inhibitions, yes
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:22:51 PM] * DesertRose giggles.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:22:51 PM] <Evie> Well, yeah, but there was also "Flying"! And "Bananas"!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:22:52 PM] <KK> Well, you were the one who bought up the flying mating bananas.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:22:54 PM] <Alkari> And your DD's strange behaviour with the dolls
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:22:58 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12bad alcohol
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:23:28 PM] <Alkari> There
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:23:37 PM] * Evie facepalms
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:23:40 PM] <Alkari> is nothing at all weird about us here ... ;)
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:23:46 PM] <Evie> ...much like Briony in that photo
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:24:08 PM] <KK> Not at all weird. But when we brainstorm...
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:24:10 PM] <Shiral> And we were already silly on account of the virtual alcohol
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:24:28 PM] <Evie> that was more of a brain hurricane, I think
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:24:40 PM] <kirienne> hee hee hee
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:24:47 PM] <Shiral> Or maybe a tornado in our case
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:24:54 PM] <jemler> does that mean i'll have a virtual hamgover tomorrow?
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:24:58 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12yes
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:25:05 PM] <Alkari> I can see it ow KK - when you are asked later on at a convention about how you came up with some crazy idea, you will blame it on Chat ;)
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:25:06 PM] <Jerusha> Some kind of vortex
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:25:11 PM] <Shiral> Take two virtual aspirin and call us in the morning
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:25:39 PM] <Sarah> and drink lots of virtual water. :P
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:25:42 PM] <jemler> it'll be morning in 3 1/2 hours
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:25:43 PM] <KK> Ya never know....
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:26:04 PM] <Shiral> "Sometimes, the hero HAS to encounter the amorous flying banana..."
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:26:09 PM] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:26:20 PM] <jemler> i have powdered water, but i don't know what to add - steven wright
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:26:22 PM] <Jerusha> And slice it with his sword
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:26:28 PM] <the_Bee> When my uncle was a child he once asked if wine was a "spiritual liquor."
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:26:44 PM] <jemler> only when it was sacramental wine!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:26:44 PM] <Shiral> And invents the Gwyneddan Banana Split in the process.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:26:58 PM] <Evie> If you guys don't watch out, I'll create a 1:6 diorama in which our fearless Deryni heroes are fending off the amorous flying bananas
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:27:03 PM] <Shiral> Yeah, we're not tipsy, we're "spiritual"
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:27:18 PM] <Jerusha> Now this I have to see
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:27:54 PM] <Evie> I'd need to find a source of thin transparent nylon thread or fishing line first
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:27:55 PM] <KK> Oh, dear, don't encourage her....
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:27:59 PM] <Evie> for the "flying"
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:28:07 PM] <Jerusha> Morgan faces the banana with his sword, Father John tries to keep his head
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:28:18 PM] <Evie> Don't worry, that's more like a DD scene. :D
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:28:28 PM] <Shiral> Morgan MUST protect his cousin and innocent daughter from the flying bananas
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:28:31 PM] <jemler> but duncan loses his
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:29:23 PM] <Evie> I somehow can't imagine an amorous banana in any future Deryni novel, much less one approaching any of the Morgan daughters. :D
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:29:38 PM] <Alkari> You never know what Teymuraz might come up with!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:29:45 PM] <Shiral> One look from Papa would frighten it away!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:29:54 PM] <Shiral> LOL@ Alkari
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:29:56 PM] <Evie> Not unless Deryni magic in Byzantyun is very VERY odd!!!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:30:07 PM] <jemler> i think horny flying fruit is a bit much
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:30:15 PM] <Shiral> You wouldn't think it was a warm enough climate for bananas!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:30:21 PM] <Alkari> Well, we've never been to Deryniverse Byzantium ....
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:30:21 PM] <Jerusha> Jemler!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:30:38 PM] <Evie> It would definitely need to be migrating from a more tropical climate
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:30:39 PM] <the_Bee> Would they have bananas in the 11 Kingdoms? I'm not sure what part of the world they come from.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:30:46 PM] <jemler> what jerusha?
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:31:00 PM] <Jerusha> Tsk, tsk
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:31:01 PM] <Shiral> But maybe the raspberries are at least affectionate
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:31:37 PM] <Evie> Well, Duncan and Alaric seem to have a special fondness for grapes.... In liquid form, anyway. ;-)
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:31:41 PM] <the_Bee> Can a banana impregnate a cantelope?
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:31:42 PM] <Jerusha> Or there could be passionfruit
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:32:06 PM] <Alkari> They also need reasonably warm cliates
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:32:07 PM] <Evie> Honeydew you love me? We canteloupe now.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:32:10 PM] <Alkari> * climates
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:32:16 PM] <Shiral> LOL
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:32:23 PM] <Jerusha> Tee hee
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:33:28 PM] <Evie> Bremagne might have a wider variety of fruit crops
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:33:45 PM] * jemler loads up a special catapult, and lobs everyone with ice cybes to cool them down!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:33:51 PM] <Evie> those warm passionate Bremagni with their warm passionate fruit
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:34:09 PM] <Shiral> Someone should feed them to Jehana, then!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:34:29 PM] <Evie> Maybe that's what happened to young Alaric. He met a real peach of a girl in the Bremagni court.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:34:29 PM] <Jerusha> Maybe Brion and Jehana were presented with a fruit basket?
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:34:48 PM] <Shiral> By whom?
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:34:48 PM] <Evie> and went bananas for her
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:34:50 PM] <jemler> either that or get her some more batteries!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:35:13 PM] <Alkari> I can see Jehana being a little angry / petulant because Rhemuth doesn't have all the foods she is used to or likes
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:35:17 PM] <jemler> maybe a Die Hard! :)
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:36:02 PM] <Shiral> She's a queen--surely she can import!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:36:35 PM] <KK> O-kay, this is getting too silly--and I want to work on this chapter for a few minutes before GoT.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:36:46 PM] <Alkari> Not without freezing / preservation charms for perishables!!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:36:49 PM] <Evie> If Brion is willing to spend his money on imported foodstuff, sure
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:36:54 PM] <derynifanatic64> 12silly is good
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:37:03 PM] <Jerusha> Happy writing, KK
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:37:15 PM] <DesertRose> Thanks for dropping by, KK. Have a good week! :)
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:37:15 PM] <KK> But I've been making notes about the non-fruit stuff, and some may prove useful.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:37:16 PM] <jemler> nite kk

[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:37:24 PM] <Evie> Foodstuffs could be shipped surprising distances even in medieval times, though yes, you'd have to preserve things
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:37:24 PM] <KK> Also, a cat has come to bug me.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:37:25 PM] <Sarah> night KK
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:37:26 PM] <the_Bee> thanmks for coming

[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:37:48 PM] <Shiral> A cat Bug?
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:37:52 PM] <Evie> I trust the flying mating bananas won't prove very useful, KK
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:37:59 PM] <KK> Ta for now.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:38:00 PM] <Evie> Or else I'm quite worried about CM3. ;-)
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:38:01 PM] <Alkari> LOL - yes KK, we'd hate to have mating bananas interfere with your plot! Happy writing and enjoy GoT
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:38:10 PM] <Shiral> Aw, not even as a writing prompt, Evie? =o)
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:38:10 PM] <Jerusha> Night, KK

[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:38:29 PM] <Alkari> Thanks for coming, and I hope the Chat has proved 'inspirational' :D
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:38:43 PM] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a cloud of flying mating--no, green sparkles!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:38:44 PM] <Shiral> And er, "Fruitful"
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:38:52 PM] * DesertRose facepalms.
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:38:54 PM] <Jerusha> LOL
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:38:54 PM] <Shiral> LOL
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:38:56 PM] <Evie> and just for the record, Evie's sex life has never included flying bananas
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:38:56 PM] <KK> You guys are the best!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:39:00 PM] <KK> See ya!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:39:02 PM] <Alkari> She may be in need of alcohol after GoT Ep 9
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:39:05 PM] <Shiral> Not yet anyway
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:39:06 PM] <Evie> Goodnight!
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:39:11 PM] <Alkari> Bye KK
[Sunday, June 02, 2013] [08:39:13 PM] Quit KK has left this server (Quit: ).
"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)
