G'day,
I have a question for the parents (particularly Aussie parents) in the
audience. Over the last few years our kids have consumed enough cheesestiks in
their school lunches that it not only throws my ability to give them
nutritious food into doubt but we have a LARGE number of
bananas-in-pyjamas figures, enough for a decent SG force as it turns
out. We're getting some Eureka Teddys to oppose them (and even picking
up a fantasy Ratman figure to be Rat-In-The-Hat).
So the big question is what do you think Bananas would be armed with SG wise?
I thought they'd be close combat only but Lachlan and Janneke disagree so I
thought I would see advice further afield;)
Oh and we thought the Bananas in Spacesuits would work well as PA;)
Cheers
Obviously they have banana-peel-shooters.
They work like non-fatal mines, and halt movement by all enemy troops
within 2 inches.

I was thinking of Viet Cong, actually, due to the "pyjamas" Beth mentioned.
I'd figured you meant the banana clips in the AK47s, and was trying to think
of what a booby trap had to do with fruit...

I'd been wondering if I needed to mention FMA Sheep III ("Pod Racing Zombie
Pirate Sheep, con Queso") just to add a little silliness to the list, but I
see there's no need.

How about a dreaded European Union Mandate somewhere, after all that
silliness over banana curvature? I can just see the once-proud banana
civilisation brought low, B5-style, by the
killer-ultra-death-war-machines programmed to exterminate all impure
fruit...

General del Monte. When he's feeling gracious, he likes for his people to call
him "Papaya".
That should be "cherry bombs" or "Pineapple Grenades"...

Why do I keep remembering John Cleese as the self-defence instructor
with the... um, interest in defending oneself against assailants "armed" with
fresh fruit?
Phil, thinking that at least one banana should be armed with a pointed
stick in tribute... ;-)
