I learned about pineapple plants from -- I shit you not -- the movie version of Edith Wharton's The Buccaneers. (The one with Mira Sorvino and Carla Gugino, the mini-series that was on Masterpiece Theatre way the hell back in the day.)

Because books.

Which I ADORED! OMG I loved it so much. I can't imagine Wharton was really going *there* with the ending, but I didn't mind. Baby! Carla Gugino was perfect, and the rest of the cast rocked, too. Plus, total set/costume porn.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I loved that too! I lurves me some Edith Wharton, and it's on Netflix streaming. Crackadelic.

The Old Navy K-Bug works at put a bunch of stuff on clearance today, including a bunch of shirts for $0.07. Yep, you read that right. AND they are doing their friends and family sale right now which is 30% off...so those shirts were only $0.05 each. I bought 3 from that rack, plus 2 tank tops ($1.25 each), a pair of shoes ($3.50), and some socks for CJ ($7.00). Nice haul, eh?

ita, the funny thing about it is that only until today, reading this thread, did I consider where pineapples came from.

Ha! I'm sitting here wearing a Dole Plantation shirt from the pineapple farm Hawaii. They have a giant maze and a train ride.
Suzi, nice haul indeed! I have to go IKEA this afternoon and I am not looking forward to it. For some reason it makes me manic and I end up buying 100 candles or a floor lamp that I don't need, but I need new slipcovers for the sofa and chair on the boat so we can get it up for sale. FIANLLY!

Maybe not so much with the "haunted," but I would be willing to bet some doll people out there might actually pay for this.
Perhaps I could have separate cemeteries for American Girl and Monster High dolls.
