If you can pull this off, you're Superdad

I am the reason God created computers. I am an unsuspecting, low-key, "Can't we all get along" kinda guy. But for some reason, when I'm given a project that involves any kind of intricate manual work, I suddenly transform into Gorilla Monsoon on an IV concoction of testosterone and Clumsipheron. (Ed. note: "Gorilla Monsoon"? Are there three people, including Mr. Monsoon's family, who know who he was in 2008 without Googling? And isn't the "ed. note" thing the mark of an uncreative hack?) (Reply to ed. note: Yes. No. Yes. Get out of my head.)

But that's not why you called. We're to discuss the totally coolicious banana split thingy contained herein. While it lacks the full-on, calorie-laden goodness of a real banana split, there's a minimalist beauty about the thing that makes me like it. Here's to you, Mr. Fruit-carving Dessert for His Kids Guy.

You know what I would do? Forget the banana peels, just mix the cut-up bananas, whipped topping, chopped peanuts, and some cut-up maraschino cherries together, squeeze a little chocolate syrup on top (preferably Torani's), and eat it right out of the bowl.

Ohhh, baby, you know what I like.

We totally swear by the Ed. note conceit, ourselves...

Actually, that looks pretty good--may have to try it and then snark on it!
