It's a banana bush.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And Cindy straddles the line of pedantry and Frank's suggestion:
Substitute the word "boobies" or "testicles" for "the banana tree" and you get into a whole weird area.
Not that I've heard it called bush. Mostly plant.

There was straddling? Next time, wake me up.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Thumbs in wrong places - apparently very disturbing.
True. There are certain interactive pastimes I can think of where I really don't expect to be greeted by a thumb.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm pretty certain that in the activities I was thinking of my reaction would not be "Hey, that's cheating!"

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
If I wanted to try reading Tom Robbins, which one would be a good one to start with?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Jitterbug Perfume is my favorite. And the one I read first.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
"Even Cowgirls get The Blues" cause it's my favorite. And when I was seventeen, the novel I loved best in all the world.
