the pineapple express.

I was recently asked to discuss the underrated nature of the pineapple as a fruit. Upon my quite diligent research, I did learn some lovely things exclusive to the pineapple:

1. it can be either eaten or applied topically as an anti-inflammatory and as a proteolytic agent
2. some claim that it helps to induce childbirth when a baby is overdue
3. the natural (or most common) pollinator of the pineapple is the hummingbird: and if you know me, you know I love me a hummingbird.

but c'mon: can you really put on an apple or orange helmet to scare the fuck out of your friends and family? I hear a resounding no. No you cannot.

so thank you pineapple.

  1. I don't know Chris, don't you believe that if you found an Apple or Orange large enough to open up, take the insides out, and then be able to place your head inside of it, that it would cause more than a few rapid heart beats?? I mean, they would have to be some big, scary-ass apples or oranges to fit on your head, right??
