Why Bananas?

You know how you promise someone that you will do something...because it's the right thing to do? 

Well this is one of those situations.Bananas Foster Imposter was created in 2017 as a Brother/Sister promise to create a goofy calendar that causes kids eyes to roll, spouses to sigh and co-workers to say 'Awwww!'  These puns originated with Jeremy Pate (Beer brewer at Folklore Brewing & PHD in Sarcasm/Deadpan Comedy) and Sister Laura Pate who was a local DJ, Folklore Brewing Owner & Rescue Pet Enthusiast (crazy Cat Lady). 

It went something like this, "Oh man, that's a terrible pun...you should make a cartoon of all these terrible puns to share with the world and donate some $$ so people can say, Wow...these ARE awful...but look, they give 64% of all profits to Rescue Pets and Kids...Here, Take my money!!" and so Bananas Foster Imposter was born.  I mean the Simpsons (TM) got to do lousy cartoons in the beginning too...just look at them now ;)  These references are old school comedy, movie references, ironic circumstances and call backs to a different time. Laura passed from Cancer in 2017 (F*&% Cancer!) so a deal is a deal. Two years of Calendars with one epic Opus of puntastic irridescent delight being released in 2024. After that...we will see where it goes.  For now...Enjoy the meteoric rise and dinosaur civilization ending boom of the nose dive of epic proportions to come! I mean, you get what you pay for! ;) Bananas Foster Imposter is not a 501 Charity and is a for profit endeavor. The profit spread is 64% is to be publicly donated by means of a Giant Check...the 36% is for Jeremy to operate BFI website, graphic design and general soul sucking business requirements foisted upon all American citizens. Sales are tracked and donated via Fly By Night Grill, a subsidiary owned by Jeremy Pate operating inside of Folklore Brewing & Meadery in Dothan, AL. All donations will be posted publicly.

Come for the jokes...stay for the community event calendar!  

This grew outside of my original scope 6 days before the calendar was to be printed.  Short verision is: In the pages of this calendar is Business Anniversary Dates, School holidays, Dothan, Enterprise and Wiregrass Area festivals, parades, charity events, fund raisers, marches, runs/walks/crawls/balls (the ones you dance at) and more!  A few Birthdays, a few shout outs and even more Honorable Mentions of friends, businesses and events that add value to the community through offering unique goods/food/services or sponsor, volunteer or donate to community events that benefit others in our community. The world is nuts...Here around Dothan, the world is Peanuts.  Gotta laugh at the irony of life (insert down town Dothan nut drop here).  The end result is a 2023 Wall Calendar available now.  The goal? Raise $6000 in net profit to divide between Wiregrass Animal Rescue Organizations and Fostering Hope in Headland, AL, Supporting Foster Families. 500 Calendars are in stock and selling every day. If you have a retail shop or would be willing to sell a few to friends/co-workers, please contact Jeremy at shop@bananasfosterimposter.com 

2024 Goals: A even more Comprehensive 2024 Calendar of Community Events (your help is needed!). A coffee cup and a 366 Day (Leap Year!) Tear off Desk Calendar of bad puns, cartoons and bad definitions to entertain and annoy your co-workers! It's for a good cause... Cause it's funny! It's also going to help make some Foster Families more comfortable for Christmas as well as area rescue pets to get a little more help they need right here where we live. Stay tuned for a release of Greeting Cards for mental health awareness, birthdays, Sorry you got Fired, Heard you were launched from a catapult, Sorry I accidentally sold your car and went to Vegas and more eclectic oddly specific cards for all occasions!  Stay tuned for more and thanks for supporting the first of it's kind in the Wiregrass!
