Looking for a video that was linked on AskMe or the Blue. It was probably AskMe because I believe the poster was asking for identification of the song. The video is mostly animated but features, as the main character, a Down's Syndrome man. It's very psychedelic and dreamlike. The highlight of the video to me was when the main character turns a cloud into a loaf of bread while driving down the road in a convertible. I've searched Google, AskMe and the Blue all to no avail. Please help!! Thanks.

No prob. Now, what is this Columbian fruit I've just bought? It's orangey-yellow and perfectly round and has a hard stem shooting straight out of the top?

Come on, come one...

Kumquat? I don't think it's perfectly round though.

Nope. Kumquat's are grown in asia (usually). So, sorry sublivious, but I'm going to have to take the Hella link away from you.

gooseberries?

Nope. The shell is hard. It's about the size of a tomato or orange. Probably ends in illo or illa or something. Not tomatillo.

Persimmon, perhaps.

That's asia again. :)

The shell is hard. Think hard like a pomegranate or overripe mangosteen. Feels like I'm gonna have to crack it.

Also, I misspoke--not a "stem" at the top (that can be plucked), but the shell itself forms into the stem.

Not a tamarillo.

It's a granadilla.

Thanks, blacklite. You nailed it.

Anything else? I also do tax returns.

Yeah, when's it ripe and how do I open it? Searched google but keep ending up with instructions for passion fruit, which I think is something different.
posted by dobbs at 5:36 PM on August 2, 2006

"When ripe, the fruit is heavy for its size. Lightly wrinkled skin with good colour and no bruises." As far as I can figure out you just slam a good heavy knife into it, like (if you've ever seen) a street vendor does to coconuts. It's gooey inside, so it shouldn't get on you.

Generally, though, I always try new fruit with a friend who's tried it before. You never want to be alone when you've got a bad fruit.

I almost lost a finger once trying the "obvious" on an unknown fruit.

I don't have any friends offline.

Would you like to eat fruit with me, blacklite?

Well, you certainly want to keep your other hand out of the way.

I would! But I am far away.

Alright. (Though I have helluva throwing arm!)
