Well bless Liam with the experience of a good brain trumps a strong back for 50+ years or so.

I learned a long time ago that what my brain doesn't think of my back has to make up for. I've tried to instill that sentiment in both of my sons since they were young.

Quote and perhaps signature-worthy as well ??

it got that big after 2 and a half years?!? usually they don't get that big until 11 or 12

I don't know why, but I picture you scooping out the middle of that 12 year old pineapple to make a cup, then filling it with Shiner Bock.

Dude, they have these things called "produce departments" where you can pick up a pineapple for a dollar or two and it takes 30 seconds.

True story...my wife and I went on our honeymoon in Hawaii. There was a guy by the side of the road selling pineapples...we stopped and I asked how much they were....he said, "$6". I got by in our car and we drove half a mile down the road to Safeway and bought one for $1.50.

I'm sure the $6 pineapples take anywhere from 2-12 years to grow in a basement.

We cut open the pineapple yesterday and WOW! The flavor and tenderness is amazing. We've never tasted anything like it before in our life. You maybe able to get one from the grocer for $1.50 in 30 seconds but it sure as shit doesn't taste as good as this.

Excellent! It isn't always about sheer size :^)

Nice! Now you should start a small grow op separate from your business. For pineapples of course.

OP that looks more like something I'd expect Pinhead or some Cenobite gets you to eat to turn you into one before they cram the stem up your...well you get the idea.

Edit: guess that wouldn't be the stem.

Hear that a lot I take it? (That's just what women tell you to be polite.)
