99 Bananas

Maybe it’s time to change the blog name again. A lot of people are arriving here expecting banana schnapps only to be disappointed. Banana is a curious flavour for alcohol of any variety. Not having tried this particular drink I should reserve judgement but banana flavour brings back memories of the days when I would drink anything and not be a bit fussy about it. Banana liqueur was a sickly sweet drink that did have a jollifying effect if one could suffer the flavour. I indulged a few times while living in Greece but never quite got to like the banananess.

I wonder what this stuff is like. Being schnapps, I would imagine it’s a lot less syrupy than banana liqueur. It would seem that the ‘99′ refers to the proof rather than the number of bananas required to make a bottle of it. They also make 99 Apples, 99 Blackberries and 99 Oranges. You can find out more about it at 99 schnapps website. You have to be over 21 to view it or so it says. I really don’t see the point in age restrictions on an information site. It’s not like anyone can drink it online.

I’ll start saving. Shame Magic Bus isn’t still running… that’d be a trip and a half.

I spotted that stuff on the self here. Couldn’t bring myself to try it. Whilst checking out saw a Colorado wine and wondered if you’d like a bottle sent to you, Plum Creek out of Palisade (western slope near Grand Junction).

I’d say yes but for the fact that a soggy box full of wet glass is nothing but a waste.

Blog Name, something to do with “vocal earth” ?

I was actually thinking about ‘Tadpoles Eat Bananas’ :)
but aye… Vocal Earth would probably be the sensible choice.

That name came from one of those spur of the moment ideas that never came to anything. I was going to start a database for recordings of accents and decided it’d be more bother than it’s worth.

Vocal - outspoken, spoken, sung.

Earth - world, place, the human race, flesh, humanity, humankind, mankind, universe, world.
