Blenders and Bananas

Blenders and bananas. Yet another random subject on my blog thanks to Andrea. Well, it is called the anomalousness within me so I guess that compensates it. Anyway, blenders. Blenders are the coolest kitchen appliance other than the ice cream scooper. It is and there is no disputing it. Blenders are just cool enough to come in extra cool colors such as red, black (which isn't that cool), and blue. Apparently, according to some kitchen fashion expert dude, colorful appliances are IN style. Talk about a no brainer right there. Bright colored kitchen appliances are the coolest things since sliced bread.
Bananas are so yummy. They are yellow too which is even cooler. They are high in potassium , therefore making them healthy for you. Plus, the stickers on Chiquita bananas are my most favorite things to put on myself. (My favorite sticker says Appetite A-Peel; pun intended.) However, when you put a blender, bananas, and ice cream together you get one of the best things God ever created. A banana shake! I heart those things. Seriously. So yes, blenders and bananas are really cool and I'm pretty sure I've overused the word 'cool' in this post. So instead I'll say, 'Colorful blenders when mixed with delectable bananas create an absolutely beautiful combination!' The end.

Pirates...Eating Chocolate Cake

Pirates...eating chocolate cake. Most people think, "Ok, so is that? Because that sentence pretty much just says everything right there, in that single sentence." Well to me, it doesn't. It doesn't answer a plethura of questions that only somebody like me would think of. So let's talk about the pirate.
Pirates are pretty cool, but I think I prefer ninjas. Anyway, pirates. Pirates generally don't have a set home. They have a birth place but they live on a ship for most of their lives. Pirates don't make an honorable living robbing other ships because that's mean and they should be slapped on the hand, given no dinner, and sent to bed. However, they are not. They are pirates living a lawless life. But when you say, "A pirate is eating chocolate cake," there are many unanswered questions about the pirate. Is the pirate a girl or boy? Does he have red hair or black hair? Is his hair long or is it a buzz cut? Is the pirate fat, skinny, or just pleasantly plump? Is the pirate tall or short? What is the pirate wearing; Prada or Chanel?
Cake is yummy but it makes me fat. However, I still eat it. When you say, "A pirate is eating chocolate cake," there are many unanswered questions about the cake. What kind of chocolate cake is it; german chocolate or dark chocolate? Is the cake double layered? Is it frosted? Does the cake have sprinkles on it (a very important question indeed)? Is the cake homemade or store-bought? Is there is frosting, what kind is it?
As you can see, saying, "a pirate eating chocolate cake," is a very broad statement and should be more specific. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to say, "A tall skinny, brown-haired, and haggard-looking pirate was eating a homemade double-layered chocolate cake that was topped with cream cheese frosting and just a dash of pink sprinkles on it." That's sounds much more professional and pleasing.
