Son of a whore! I was actually going through the process of putting sponsored links on my site yesterday. But the sign-up thing said that "IF you have a Google AdSense account, fill in this info. . ." Well, I don't so I didn't, but it kept insisting it was a required feild and I got fed up and threw the laptop against the wall. And I was going to try to figure it out this weekend and now YOU have Google ads and now you're going to think I'm a biter.

Son of a WHORE.

Happy Birthday, Beth!
 

I think that's a pretty picture of a lychee. You probably found it in CA because it's popular in them Asian countries.

Sorry if I put an end to your fun but how the hell were you going to enjoy it if you didn't know what it was? Now you can request it in hippie grocery stores and get lychee flavored bubble teas.
 

yeah, Lychee nut, I went off to a Asian lady about those things and she said that they have giant ones and shit.

but thats a weird skin on it though.
 

M. - Don't worry, I'll never bring up the fact I got AdSense set-up way b4 you. Do what you gotta do to get it workin. I'm guessing you def have the traffic for it, Mrs. Popular. Your grammar is suberb.

Sara - LYCHEEE! I knew it sounded like something I would name an Ewok. They are purrty to look at and fun to hold and lightly squeeze.
 

The ones I remember from the Philippines had really long spines coming off it like a weird little alien egg.

They are so, so good, though...I got a good lychee bubble tea in NYC's Chinatown last month.

Now I want a lychee. Looks like I'll just have to do with Louisiana's exotic selection of berries and alligator meat.
 

Damn! I wanted to be the first to tell you it was a lychee. I just happened to come to your site since i am "working" from home today and saw a picture of a fruit from my homeland of hawaii...yeah yeah, lot's of asian's there too.
hope you are doing great!!! CA huh? pretty cool, great weather. Andria
 

Whenever I think about lychee now, I just like to yell it out, "LYCHEEEE!" It helps me make it thru the day.

Andria, I love hearing when ppl are sluffing off work to check out my site. Yes indeed, Cali weather is nice. And you know what I realized -- out here it's a lot cheaper to fly to Hawaii. So let me know when you're planning a trip next and we'll try and meet up:) You can show us all the hot spots!
 

"The ones I remember from the Philippines had really long spines coming off it like a weird little alien egg."
...those could actually be rambotan- very similar to lychees, but they have those long, thin, hairier "spines". i got them once canned from an asian grocery store b/c they were out of canned lychees.
also, not to condone the man, but whole foods totally sells fresh lychees. and there's always the asian market in westbank land, sara.
 

Here is your culprit named Rambutan.
 

Lycheeeeeee!
