Company connections are interesting, and often illuminating. You only have to look at the British East India Company, which began as a trading entity and eventually ruled much of India.
Is there also a cocktail called Banana King? Because there should be! It's so fitting, seeing how alcohol can make you just delusional enough to believe in all sorts of stuff.
No, but there's a fast food restaurant by the same name that serves a "cocktail" that might make you hallucinate! Their standards for cleanliness are not very high, I'm afraid to report.
I have chosen to pay as little attention as possible to our current king banana. Friends are getting upset on both sides and using a lot of hyperbole, imo. I chose to let people I don’t know deal with their problems. I help family and friends if asked or I see how I can help and offer it. But in this time of hyperbole, I pull in words and expressions in order not to throw gas on the flames. If teotwawki causes me or immediate family issues, I will do whatever I need to do, but the bar is high to respond highly.
I love it. There are people who are compelled to act right now, and I'm glad those folks are out there - but we need patient folks who are assessing the situation and ultimately determining a good course of action rather than rushing in and making a situation even worse somehow. King Banana!
"There is now a dark legacy surrounding the phrase banana republic, where no self-respecting nation ever wants to be called one of those."
Possibly excepting the well-known chain store by that name.
If that store has become a nation, we are in trouble.
Not as long as it’s owned by a larger “nation”- the Gap.
Excellent point. Does that make BR more like a state, then?
A colony.
If Gap is a nation, then LVMH is an empire, ya?
Yes.

Indeed. I think about the VOC and the British East India Co almost every day right now. What does that say about me?
FilmCow also made Llamas with Hats! What is wrong with you Carl? https://youtu.be/kZUPCB9533Y
I love when the faces start falling, maybe like episode 4? "Nobody likes raw face. That's just gross."
Have you watched (new!) Smiling Friends?
Nope! Link that sucker here and I surely will, though.
