#798 – Malus
When I was a kid I remember there only being two kinds of apples. Red and green (not counting sauce, juice and pie of course). Then as I got older I became aware of many more varieties in different sizes, colors and shapes. I think I find something new in the produce section of the grocery store every year. If I went back in time 50 years I wonder what my selection would be limited to.
Today is very special! It is the first Thursday in July that you can preorder The Book of Biff #4!

This… is slightly disturbing.

Sorry about the double post, my brain is an idiot- It kinda puts me in mind of the Fruit robot from Penny Arcade.

PEER PRESSURE PEER PRESSURE PEER PRESSURE!!!

More like Peel Pressure.

I love green apples (Granny Smith’s, usually, but sometimes I will eat tart green cooking apples) but I hate the red ones. I’ll eat them in pie, but that’s it. I have to cut them up though, stupid braces…
Peel, apple! Peel like you have never peeled before!
…that didn’t make much sense, did it?

“Come on. DO IT,” urges Biff.

It’s all about Honeycrisp.
July 2nd, 2009 at 4:25 am
I think that this is more lazy than quick on Biff’s part. He doesn’t have to do anything but wait until the apple grows a hand and peels itself.

PEEEEEEEEEER PRESSUUURREEE.
Right now my favorite apples are Gala. Taste great with peanut butter and an ice cold glass of milk. <3
July 2nd, 2009 at 6:14 am
Thats…… not….. Oh Biff, why!?!?
July 2nd, 2009 at 6:46 am
@Geirskogul – Biff is just farther away
July 2nd, 2009 at 7:06 am
I agree with Amanda- I discovered Honeycrisp last year, and there’s no competition!

well, 50 years ago, most of the apples you would find would be local, and seasonal, because they did not ship them from the other side of the world, nor would they store 11 months, but often you would have more varieties grwon locally. there are THOUSANDS of apple varieties, new ones every year, and old ones lost as well.
My father has an orchard where he assists in preserving much of the scion (what they call the sticks of tree, which carry the genetic information of the tree, clones if you will. google ‘grafting’). He has thousands of varieties of apple. Most are from over 50 years ago. Fall is a great time there, so many apples to taste…
Got land? Willing to learn grafting? they need more people to grow them to keep the older var. alive….

MY EYES!
On a side note, LOL.

Oh yuss, shirtless Biff. <3
xD
Anyways, PEEL-PEEL-PEEL, C’MON THE COCKROACH MAN DID IT!

Every year there’s an event at an apple orchard in Idaloo that I love to go to- they have face painting, hay rides, live music, pony rides for little kids, and they give you buckets on wheels to go pick apples. There’s rows and rows of kinds and kinds, and it’s totally awesome!
July 2nd, 2009 at 3:32 pm
That and whatever that one thing is where plants tell what your thinking, *thinks* PEEL YOU DAMN APPLE.
I’m not much of an apple person, I rather give it to the doctor, or the teacher, then they bite it and realized they just ate a worm, MWAHAHAHAH
July 2nd, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Almost but not quite ripe yellow delicious apples, sweet with a hint of tart.
And is that really a red apple or is it just embarrassed?
July 2nd, 2009 at 6:48 pm
@Malachite Dragon
Don’t worry about the double post. As you can plainly see from the past I do it all the time.
July 2nd, 2009 at 6:58 pm
By the way, when did Biff get a personal trainer? I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me. Or maybe it’s all those apples.
July 2nd, 2009 at 8:20 pm
wow
maskdt totally asked for that one yesterday
glad that chris cares ’bout us
July 3rd, 2009 at 1:27 am
At first I was afraid for Biff, I think that apple can get to that peeler before he can.
Then I figured he could charm his way out of trouble, because he’s apeeling. Ok, that was terrible.
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:50 am
I have three kinds of apples. Raw, juicy and too old. Or green/yellow, red and red with brown spots. The two first I eat, the old ones I leave for others to eat. If there is more to apples than that, I haven’t figured it out yet, and probably never will.
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:38 pm
Is Biff or the apple more a-peeling!?
July 4th, 2009 at 2:47 am
@Chris- You need to make it more dramatic!
July 8th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
@ SoySauce
That is the quickest way in the Biffverse
