Attention: shun the term "Commander Cuckoo Bananas"
I am seeing the term "Commander Cuckoo Bananas" all over the place.

If this keeps up, then every time anyone thinks of George W. Bush they will think of "Commander Cuckoo Bananas." It's all the fault of Bart Simpson, the little twit.

So unless you are some kind of "Bart symp" please never say or write the term:

Commander Cuckoo Bananas
Commander Cuckoo Bananas
Commander Cuckoo Bananas
Commander Cuckoo Bananas
Commander Cuckoo Bananas
Commander Cuckoo Bananas
Commander Cuckoo Bananas
Commander Cuckoo Bananas
Commander Cuckoo Bananas
Commander Cuckoo Bananas
Commander Cuckoo Bananas
Commander Cuckoo Bananas
Commander Cuckoo Bananas
Commander Cuckoo Bananas
Commander Cuckoo Bananas

1. Don't you think that we need more Commander Cuckoo Bananas
I mean, Commander Cuckoo Bananas is a very popular phrase. Commander Cuckoo Bananas describes the guy who's trying to run the country.

Commander Cuckoo Bananas has taken the world to the brink of disaster.

Commander Cuckoo Bananas is cuckoo!

2. You're WRONG
It was HOMER Simpson who coined the phrase Commander Cuckoo Bananas.

So pleast, when referring to Commander Cuckoo Bananas make the association with Homer Simpson.

3. Oh wow, like a correction on the origins of "Commander Cuckoo Bananas"
History (and SpiralHawk) will henceforth record and report the TRUTH

It was not Bart, but Homer Simpson who first uttered the immortal phrase (which no one will ever speak or write again): Commander Cuckoo Bananas.

Thanks ET, with a tip of the wing...

5. I wasn't critizing you at all, just wanted to give correct attribution
for Commander Cuckoo Bananas :).

After all, if we misattribute and distory the history of the term Commander Cuckoo Bananas, we become like Commander Cuckoo Bananas and we don't want that :)

4. Yeah. Homer's the one to whom we are in debt for Commander
Cuckoo Bananas being called Commander Cuckoo Bananas. So, therefore, let us praise Homer for the term Commander Cuckoo Bananas.

I believe Commander Cuckoo Bananas would want it that way.

7. While I find the term Commander Cuckoo Bananas appropriate --
-- for George W. Bush, I was under the impression that it was either Cmdr Cuckoobananas, or Commander Cuckoo-bananas, and not Commander Cuckoo Bananas. In any event, as I was watching the now infamous "Commander Cuckoo Bananas" episode of The Simpsons, and heard Homer Simpson utter the name "Commander Cuckoo Bananas" I literally went completely cuckoobananas. Imagine! Calling the President of the United States "Commander Cuckoo Bananas"!! and on a nationally syndicated television show!. I'll bet even Commander Cuckoo Bananas' cabinet is calling him Commander Cuckoo Bananas behind his back!
