Was this before the invention of backpacks?


lollllllll


was this a montessori college?


They may have taken the books out of backpacks first. I was not involved with the scheme, other than finding out about it later when my roommate was being told his attendance was no longer required.

JFC, are you guys really going to be this pedantic with a 40-year-old story?

****ing kids! I'm older than all you guys and clearly remember people leaving stacks of books on the coatracks outside of the cafeteria when I was in college. Nobody, and I mean nobody, carried books around campus in backpacks then. The only backpacks I recall seeing at all were students riding bikes to campus with backpacks. I don't know what they did with their backpacks when they got to campus but they weren't dorky enough to wear them.

I do remember one special student who carried his books around campus in an old suitcase. Not a rolling one or a nylon one, but one of those old Samsonite type beasts. He could not remember which books he needed for the day's classes, so he just carried all of them. He also had an old windup alarm clock in that suitcase. When he got to class he set the alarm to ring when the class was scheduled to end. When that alarm rang he packed his suitcase and left--whether the instructor was finished or not. LOL!

Hell, I'm not even sure football had been invented back then.

Old people being dumb. Those chicks have purses, how about get a bigger one for the books.

Whaaat?

Pinocchio (1883) is one of the true greats and the basis for every story you've read or seen on screen about an inanimate object wanting to become Human.... and there have been MANY.

Stop picking on Pinocchio then...

Avocados. They're good, but only if they're at exactly the right level of ripeness.

i can relate to this one, similar thoughts about bananas

i can relate to this one, similar thoughts about bananas

I consume a banana every morning for breakfast. Bananas are the only reason I need to go to the grocery store more than once a week.

You cannot buy seven bananas at a time and be happy all week. It actually requires a trip to the store every four days. It would be better every three days but I just can’t.

This all assumes you’re not one of those guys that would split up a few bunches of bananas to get what you want. I did that once and felt bad.


Weren't bananas about to become extinct a while ago? What happened to that one?

how did you just scrape every banana thought i had in my brain and re-present it to me in a single post?


i'll try to remember to share the spouse's pastachio banana bread recipe later if you need to use some overripe ones

Love me some bananas, too. I eat one a day either on cereal or in a smoothie.
I planted a banana tree in my year, but I'm afraid the latest freeze took it out...


Wait for them to get to where you like them, freeze them, and use them for smoothies.


Bananas don't grow on trees. They are the berries of giant herbs.


why would you feel bad about breaking up bunches of bananas? I've bought bananas pretty much every week of my adult life and never taken a full bunch. why would anyone notice or care when the bunches are all odd numbered anyways?

a lot of them are extinct - they are all clones which makes them very susceptible to disease

the bananas we ate up until the 50s, the gros michel, are not extinct but basically impossible to find because they can only be grown in small batches, any widespread production will get wiped by disease quite quickly - they were larger, didn't go bad as soon, and apparently tasted quite a bit better than the cavendish we eat today

only a matter of time before some disease or fungus comes along and we need to find a new top bananna
