ROCKIN N PEELIN: INTRODUCING THE TUFF BANANAS
I should probably write an intro for this, but I hate writing intros. So fuck it, read on, baby.
Tuff Bananas are:
Adam-vocals
Paul-guitar/vocals
Natalie-keyboards/vocals
Jon E-drums
Mark-bass/vocals
What is everyone's favorite candy?
Paul: Pop Rocks, Rock Candy, Fizz Candy!!! Candy Cigarettes & Lemon Heads too. And those huge Jawbreakers!!
Natalie: Sour Patch Kids, Shock Tarts, anything that fizzes or pops in your mouth, Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans!!
Adam: I just bought a "Fear Factor"-brand Super Gummy Octopus (in Sour Ooze), so that'll probably be either my absolute favorite or absolute most hated. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups/Pieces are good too!!
Jon: I once knew this stripper named Candy. She was a huge bitch. Literally, she was like, 6' 4". She was sweet but fuck man, she kinda intimidated me. That’s not to say I wouldn't tap that but come on.... you know? It was just one of those things that could've worked out but you aren't too sure if it’s the right thing at the time. Besides, she had a lot of skinheadfriends and those motherfuckers probably wanted to tap that just to get to me.
Mark: It's way too hard to settle on just one, but I really do love Twizzlers Cherry Bites. I can eat a whole bag (1 lb.) of those delicious little fuckers in one sitting.
What do you all think of the Reese's Peanut Butter cups with caramel: blasphemy or deliciousness?
Paul: I personally don't think Peanut Butter belongs in ANY candy. Especially when mixed with Chocolate! Yuck!!
Natalie: Twix are better.
Adam: I'm a purist. Blasphemy.
Jon: Why the fuck would you ask this question? Are we a dumb joke band? Oh yeah, I forgot, you have something to offer society on the musical front...
Mark: I don't understand how it can be blasphemy. It's a new kind of candy! If it tastes good, that all I really give a fuck about. I mean, it's not like they replaced the ORIGINAL Reese's.
If you were going to be executed, what would your last meal be?
Paul: two charred foot long Hot Dogs from Ted's with cheese, four jumbo deep fried crab-stuffed shrimps & a lobster tail, chocolate chip pancakes with extra butter, a butter burger with bacon & jalapenos, a quesadilla with at least five different kinds of cheese! A Banana Split without nuts! A Monster Cookie! Ravioli dinner from Chef’s! And a huge glass of Lambrusco ...I know I am forgetting lots more, oh well.
Natalie: Strawberry milkshake, big glass of chocolate milk, cookie dough blizzard and chocolate Dilly Bar from Dairy Queen, ice cream sundae with that magic shell topping, cheese curds and a huge block of cheese...take that lactose intolerance!!!
Adam: A couple large Jake's Pizzas (in Green Bay, WI) w/ pepperoni and garlic.
Jon: Well, this interview feels like an execution so probably what I'm eating right now: Skrewdrivers
Mark: New York strip steak, deep fried Slim Jims with ranch dip, bag of corn chips and taco dip, Twizzlers Cherry Bites, bag of marshmallows, 5 White Castle chicken rings, jar of green olives, corn on the cob, Mom's tuna lasagna, black cherry Kool-Aid, Pizza Hut stuffed crust pizza with sausage, mushroom, and black olives, cherry cheese cake and beer

What is the most rock n roll friendly food?
Paul: PIZZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Natalie: A sloppy slice of double cheese pizza
Adam: Hot Dogs, they have the most songs about 'em.
Jon: Fritos.
Mark: I guess it would have to be a giant 20 foot-long chocolate cake that is shaped like an electric guitar with sprinkles on top. And it magically plays the Dead Boys as you eat it.

Anyone of you been to Great America at Gurnee IL?
Paul: YES! FUN! FUN! FUN!. I haven't been there in years though. Joke’s on me.
Natalie: Duh!! Spending the whole fucking day in line for the Batman ride while sweating yer ass off totally rules!!
Adam: I just went there like a month ago, and played a game where I ate a buncha cheese fries and tested how many times in a row I could go on the Superman ride (there were no lines!) until I puked it all up. The answer was four.
Jon: I have a stake in the company. You ever hear of a future? Well, I haveone...
Mark: Never heard of it. Is that one of those "fun-parks" that are gaining in popularity in these last few decades?
Bubble Yum or Dubble Bubble?
Paul: Dr. Pepper Gum. Or any of the Soda-Juicing variety. They need to re-issue those yummies.
Natalie: I think Bubble Yum. Isn't Double Bubble really hard? I don't have dental insurance...
Adam: Dubble Bubble. I don't think Bubble Yum has a soda, do they?
Jon: Gum is for faggots and christians.
Mark: Big League Chew!
What covers do you all do?
Paul: Whatever BUBBLEGUM/POP/ROCK/MAYBEEVENPUNK song we feel like doing that week.
Natalie: What those jerks said.
Adam: "Goody Goody Gumdrops" by 1910 Fruitgum Co., "Food Fight" by the Village People, & "Sweet Pea" by Tommy Roe. We're probably gonna learn a Bay City Rollers song next...
Jon: Feelers songs. But better.
What firework is the most fun?
Paul: You can always find something fun to do with firecrackers & sparklers! They all start on fire and/or blow up, so how can I pick? FUN!
Natalie: One that might blow up in your face.
Adam: Roman candles!
Jon: Abortions.
Mark: Again, very hard to name just one favorite, but I'm way into bottle rockets. They fly AND explode! You can launch them at your friends! They go underwater! I like breaking the stick off and lighting them for an element of unpredictability. Also fun is sticking them through a marshmallow and launching them skyward.
What kinds of dances should people do at Tuff Bananas shows?
Paul: Violent head shaking! Rapid pelvic thrusting, hip jerkin', & monkey jumpin'!
Natalie: Whatever might give the dude next to you a boner!
Adam: Anything but the "Standing Still".
Jon: Why would people dance? Throwing meat at a crowd of mindless, tastelessassholes doesn't really illicit a response, does it?
Mark: This is detailed in chapter 12 in the “Tuff Bananas Rulebook For Having A Good Time” which can be found at any major bookstore for the nominal sum of $36.
Who would win a fight: the Bananas or the Tuff Bananas?
Paul: Well we're TUFF, and they're just BANANAS. We'll peel 'em, then eat 'em.
Natalie: A food fight or a pillow fight? Tuff Bananas!!!
Adam: The TUFFEST one, naturally!
Jon: The Screamers. Why would you ask that? Starting shit isn't funny.
Mark: Well, obviously we would, because we're Tuff, and they're just regular!

i found this to be very 'informative' and 'interesting.' i 'enjoyed' 'reading' it. 'i'm' still 'going' to say 'that' my 'favorite' candy is 'cocaine.' oh, and i've seen mark explode a marshmallow before, although it wasn't as cool as when we blew up that bee.
