True Story: Boredom, Bananas, Bond
Friday, July 25, 2014 at 1:00PM On Wednesday I drew a picture of James Bond on a Banana and posted it online.
Nathaniel R. "Bond on Banana" 2014. Mixed Media on Fruit, 9"x1½"
I have no explanation for this other than the perfect storm / terrible timing of innate online playfulness fused with genuine insanity and egged on by dread over Jury Duty to commence the following morning. Jury Duty is so boring (you just sit in a very official dull room in monotony waiting for your name to be called for 16 hours! I'm still there right now as you read this.) that on Wednesday I felt something akin to complete preemptive desperation to amuse myself. So when The Incredible Suit (whose blog I've always loved) promised he'd review it if someone drew Bond on a Banana, I did.
He kept his promise and I am left frightened at how deeply burrowed Daniel Craig in a blue speedo must be in my psyche. The worst part of the story is that I didn't have any bananas in the house when the promise was made. So... yeah.
I will be voluntarily committing myself to Bellevue Psychiatric shortly. It was nice knowing all of you!
P.S. I am mildly allergic to bananas but not to Bond's banana.

Jury duty and you're angry? You should take a note from Henry Fonda and try talking your compatriots to your side, except instead of acknowledging their doubt in the case they would be taking out their frustration on pieces of fruit.
When life gives you boredom, make boredom-aid.
There is nothing about this I don't love.
You've got a mild banana allergy? ME TOO! I'm just really excited, I've never known of anyone else who had a banana allergy
Good idea for a nice tattoo...but, alas, the skin shall wilt as surely as the banana's...
Gabby -- it's mild enough that i can have bananas in things but if i try to just eat a whole banana as people do, that does not go well.
The bulge is quite impressive. Kudos.
Awesome. I love this.
Love it. Not quite as crazy as when I put 3D glasses on a set of Peeps.
LOL
From the neck down, its pretty good. Guess your eyes weren't focused on his eyes. (G)
We all want to play with Bond's Banana.
Henry -- you try drawing Daniel Craig's weird ass face in miniature on a fruit ;) -- at least his eyes are blue!
technically, he didn't really keep his promise...
par -- okay technically but let's not peel bananas
You did really well! I could tell that was James Bond without having to read the post.
