So, has anyone here actually put the lime in the coconut, and if so, what happened?

[Fire Walk With Me]

Is it something out of The Anarchist's Cookbook? Does it first require peeling and/or juicing? Do you always do what odd pop songs tell you to do? Or suspecting foul play in pop song lyrics, did you convince a neighborhood child to try it first?

1. Coconut sucks.

3. Perhaps you should put the lime in it

and post in the morning.

[azmouse]

6. Mornings suck.

...but lime is good! (especially if you add gin to it)

5. Well.....

I put the lime in the coconut once but I feel ashamed of what happened next. Doctor! Doctor! It was self-medication for a bellyache.

I'll call you in 'da morning.

7. I'm not sure that lime and coconut would be a great flavor....

but then again- I'm not a big fan of coconut.

[Bake]

8. I drank it all up.

9. It's the foundation of Thai curry

:9

[Fire Walk With Me]

10. Good Lord, you're right. I've never once connected the two, despite being a Thai curry fanatic.

(slaps forehead) Now I know why the question has been bugging me. Thank you XemaSab, and your wisdoming!

[surrealAmerican]

15. Just what I was thinking!

Mmmm, Thai curry.

[kedrys]

17. Whoa.

I did not know that, and never really made the connection.

I hear there's a great Thai food place two blocks down. I should check it out and pay attention. :D

:hi:

11. Nothing happens until you drink them both together.

Then, and only then, will you feel better.

12. I put the lime in the coconut and then I Tutched the But

[HopeHoops]

13. I wouldn't know HOW to put a lime in a coconut!

[Fire Walk With Me]

32. That's what I'm sayin'!

Just like Nancy Reagan's "Just say no", I'm going to need a little more information...

14. Two factual things I know about coconut...

Three factual things I know about coconuts

One, you can drink coconut water from green coconuts as it's a natural electrolyte replacement
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconut_water

Coconut oil is better for you than olive oil as it's a medium-chain fatty acid that the body does not store, but uses immediately for the energy.
http://www.naturodoc.com/library/nutrition/coconut_oil.htm

Years and years ago I worked in construction with a guy from Jamaica. He told the story of how they would lop the end off of a coconut, keeping the coconut milk inside, then pout a cup of sugar into it and put the lopped off end back on. On goes the duct tape until no seam can be seen, and toss it out onto the hot sand and sun for the next three weeks. If it doesn't explode (and they would! :o) then you have a fermented coconut moonshine strong enough to knock you on yer ass! :P

How all this relates to the lime in the coconut, I don't know, but as you can get coconut water now, try it and find out. Or wait until the summer and try the fermented variety

16. It led to a gigantic fruit war.

The bananas, the apples, the oranges, hell...even the pomegranates, all took sides (kiwi fruit declared itself neutral). The carnage was horrific. Oranges peeled, apples cored, peaches pitted. One watermelon alone conquered the grapes!

Eventually, the sides all agreed to peace with the signing of the Treaty of the Bowl of Fruit:Still Life, but I wouldn't put the lime in the coconut again if I were you.

[kentauros]

19. I'm only guessing here

but that watermelon must not have been up against the grapes of wrath

[Forkboy]

23. the grapes of splat.

:)

[kentauros]

24. Ah, but frozen grapes have been known to

travel over a quarter-mile after being launched by a medical-tubing-with-funnel slingshot and smash out a car's windshield in a stadium parking lot, too :P

(supposed Rice University story of a three-man slingshot with frozen grapes as "shot" ;))

[Forkboy]

26. Ok, you got me there.

:rofl:

[Bucky]

18. There results an unholy hybrid creature, the Lymonut, which devours human flesh

And drinks it all up.

[sniffa]

20. Drank it all up

[SalmonChantedEvening]

21. I'll call you in the morning.

Ooh Woo

:)

[WinkyDink]

22. I could see clearly now, the rain was gone (you're welcome ;) ).

[begin_within]

25. That's a good earworm

That song makes me happy

[The_Casual_Observer]

27. Bellyache & called Dr!

[jakefrep]

28. All I know is that my eyebrows haven't grown back right since the explosion.

:nuke:

[no name no slogan]

29. I've been putting the lime in the coconut all afternoon

And I can tell you that not only is my right arm killing me, but I think my lime is bit chaffed, too.
