OK, NOW Bananaman may have jumped the shark

My girlfriend's friend told her she was going to nickname me "Bananaman." I told her that would be of great offense to the real Bananaman, and that I couldn't really accept such a title - it would be like claiming to be the golden calf.
After she got off the phone, I had to ask how she knew about Bananaman.
"I told her"
"OK, but what did you tell her?"
"I told her that you like to talk about Bananaman."
"Didn't she think that was weird?"
"No."
"But it is pretty wierd! How does the topic of my talking about Bananaman come up?"
"I don't remember."
"But did she have any qestions about what context I talk about Bananaman? Isn't it a little vague to say I talk about Bananaman? What in the world is there to say?"

I think it's weird that they can have a conversation about me talking about Bananaman without finding it highly unusual, to the point of disturbing.

Someone recently asked how she puts up with me talking about Bananaman all the time.

I don't talk about Bananaman ALL the time! I just talk about Bananaman more than anyone else does. It's not like I work it into every conversation! If I talked about Mayor Bloomberg as much as I talked about Bananaman, I don't think I'd even qualify as a fan of politics. But, since nobody else ever talks about it, I come off as being obsessed. It's not like anyone else talks about Bananaman, but I do it alot - it's just that compared to everyone else's never, my sometimes is alot.

Also. I may have successfully snuck Bananaman's favorite joke into the intro to next week's show.
