Well…it seems that COCONUT isn’t the only thing that’s been cracked on this VTB lately. Last night, my hit counter cracked 50,000.
Thanks to all of you VTB Regular Irregulars for visiting so often and keeping me company during these past two+ years.

COCONUT CHRONICLES: NOT ALL FUN AND GAMES.
Sad but true…life with a COCONUT is not all fun and games.
Case in point, it’s nearly impossible to have a good game of Twister with one.
Perhaps I’d fare better with a nice sprig of basil.
CRACKING THE COCONUT.
There are some people whose only taste of COCONUT during their entire lives was within the context of an Almond Joy or Raspberry Zinger.
Come to think of it, that still sounds like a pretty damn good life. But a true coco-head really should try this ambrosia in its purest state.
So this afternoon, my daughter–who, BTW, loves COCONUT almost as much as I do–and I created this short tutorial. But before I begin, let me put your minds at ease. The victim in this tutorial was not Captain Coconut. It was a stunt double.
So, let’s get started.
Step 1: Take a COCONUT, a hammer and a Phillips-head screwdriver. Then, reenact that famous scene from “Oedipus Rex.” Yes, that’s right…you must drive that screwdriver through two of the COCONUT’S eyes. No, it’s not necessary that the COCONUT in question marry his mother. Drain the liquid from the COCONUT and drink it, or something.
Step 2: Roast the whole COCONUT in a 375ºF oven for twenty minutes.
Step 3: When cool, grab that hammer again and crack the COCONUT.
Step 4: Peel the dark brown skin off of the outside of the COCONUT flesh.
Step 5: Crunch away, amigos.
