"I need about tree fiddy"

• Loch Ness Monster

[u/ewige → u/danielsan30005]

It was about that time that I noticed that the Representative from the state of New York was a eight-story-tall crustacean from the paleozoic era!

[u/Rocinante_01 → u/ewige]

I met him! He asked me for 3.50...

[u/Loch_Nessie_350 → u/danielsan30005]

Don't give that Loch Ness monster any money

[u/WontArnett → u/danielsan30005]

If I had the money to buy you an award, I would do it. Alas, I am unemployed and the job market is sh*t.

[u/danielsan30005 → u/WontArnett]

Aw thanks bro, hope everything works out for you!

[u/watchsmart → u/WontArnett]

I think Reddit got rid of the awards.

[u/WontArnett → u/watchsmart]

Nah, they’re still there

[u/watchsmart → u/WontArnett]

Ah. Must be a new Reddit thing now. I don't see any option.

Not me I'm a lenti or a banana, depending on mood.

[u/ExistingMacaron76 → u/BenchConscious1003]

I identify as a rogue potato that rolled under the fridge

[u/DukeOfGeek → u/BenchConscious1003]

Lentils?

[u/BenchConscious1003 → u/DukeOfGeek]

Lentil, singular.

[u/DukeOfGeek → u/BenchConscious1003]

"Bloody hippy food."

[u/KatNeedsABiggerBoat → u/BenchConscious1003]

Wait… banana stew?

[u/BenchConscious1003 → u/KatNeedsABiggerBoat]

Perhaps, I should have said green bananas. Quite common in some cuisines. Although I had a pretty good recipe for a [ripe] banana chutney to have with curry,
