We decided to keep a blog. Go us.
Pineapples have personality. Get one.
Ours is Umberto Ricardo Brioso de la Piña, a retired Panamanian professor who spends his time writing songs, singing about his home pineapple field, and providing words of wisdom for young people trying to make their way in the world. He was an unrecognized but nevertheless important figure in the ’77 Torrijos-Carter Treaty, making sure the rights of pineapples were considered during the negotiations. Here you can see him trying to strike up a conversation with two beers, which are inanimate, so no luck there. Eyesight was never really his thing, being all spiky and all.
Unfortunately, we got hungry and ate half of him. He still sings and gives advice, but it makes a lot less sense now that we’ve disconnected some of the more important pineapple neuronal connections. Sweet, sweet connections.
