Performancing testing

I'm testing a new blog tool ~C4Chaos wrote about. One issue is I can't figure out how to end a link if I don't have more words already behind it. I'm sure the function exist. I just haven't figured it out yet. Going to try to upload something here: Nevermind, that didn't work. I uploaded an image from my computer using the format, then when I clicked "insert," it asked me for a URL, even though I didn't choose that option. So, it looks like they have some work to do. Oh well...

What is "Damn you, banana!"?

Good question. It's a bit of a mystery. There's this webpage, in the middle of cyberspace, called damnyoubanana.com Fact is no one really knows how it got there. I've spent years trying to unravel the mysteries behind this phenomenon. Luckily, I was recently able to catch up with the creator's agent. Apparently, the site was created by an eccentric old furry hermit who simply refers to himself as "Woolhouse." His agent told me he got that name because people just call him that. So, iconically, he is referred to as "The Man They Call Woolhouse." As far as explanations go, this is about as accurate an explanation as I have been able to ascertain, given my extensive research into the subject, and the mysterious "WH" that seems to be signature to the artistic renditions. Following is my interview with the man who refers to himself as Woolhouse's Agent:

Matthew: So, you know the creator of "Damn you, Banana!"?

Woolhouse's Agent: Of what?... Oh! The website. Yeah, I know him.

M: Can you tell us a little bit about him and the site he created?

WA: Ok, sure. Woolhouse was born a monkey's father in Elk River, MN many, many moons ago. Then just a couple of moons ago, he decided to create a website that would change the universe!

M: "Damn you, Banana!" Right?

WA: That is right. "Damn you, Banana!" features a character named Banana, and his counterpart, Apple. I think the rest is pretty self explanatory.

M: Hmm. What do you mean by "self explanatory?" Could you explain a little further?

WA: See now, if I had to explain it then it wouldn't really be "self explanatory," would it? I think the best thing for you to do would be to actually go to Damn you, Banana! and see if you understand.

M: That's a fantastic idea! But for the readers who don't have the patience to click that hyperlink, could you please summarize?

WA: Ok, I will do my best.

M: Thank you. So, what is "Damn you, Banana!" all about?

WA: Boobies.

M: What?! That's not the impression I got at all when I visited the site! I thought you said it was self explanatory.

WA: Pee pee.

M: Are you just saying potty words to amuse yourself?

WA: Well, obviously you have gotten entirely the wrong impre... Boobies!!

M: Gaa! Stop that. This conversation is over.

My Favorite Artist

I got to meet Stuart Davis at the 2005 November ILP. He was gracious as could be and a hell of a lot of fun. ILP = Integral Life Practice. Unfortunately, he had to leave early because of his tour schedule. I guess that's the life of a rock star though. If you haven't had a chance yet, check out Stu at Integral Naked or Stuart Davis dot com. You can see quite a few of his "home-made" videos at IN, and he often guest hosts the interviews. Anyway, I hope I get to see him again. Until then, I'll be relaxing in the suchness of this moment. Will you join me?
