Nostalgia and the Lonely Chiquita



In the old apartment, I used to collect stickers from produce and showcase them on my cabinets for all to see. 'See! I eat a lot of vegetables and fruit! I am healthy! And the best cook ever!'

I suppose those thoughts are a bit of a stretch. Basically I just liked them because I thought they looked cool. It was a bitch to scrape all those fuckers off when we left the apartment, but lookie what we have here:



A potential love affair on my kitchen cabinet! Now, I'd be lying if I said that I didn't purposefully place them in close proximity to one another. I was trying to hook a girl up! That Squash is basically asking for it. Ms. Chiquita, with her come hither eyes and perfectly coiffed hair gazes up at Squash expectantly in all his big-lipped glory.

I know, I know what you're thinking. He doesn't look too excited about hooking up with hottie Ms. Chiquita, but there you'd be wrong.

Can you imagine banana squash hybrid babies? I would call it a squanana.

  2. Mmm, squanana babies! :)

    You are my kind of eccentric, ha ha! I must also confess to loving fruit stickers. I've kept a few of them over the years too. My favourite is the one I got in Russia that says BONANZA!

  5. @Pat Tillet: Thanks! Although I do have an unhealthy obsession with magnets as well. Especially my collection of magnetic poetry that I have had for 11 years. Every now and then I find the makings of a primitive sentence under my fridge or have to pry a few words from my dogs maw.

    @Mainland Streel: Ooooh how I wish you could post a pic so I could see!

    @Crazy Brunette: Hell yeah I do!

    @Jordan: Of course FACE! You should contribute some art to the museum too!
