Dancing bananas - a LF cultural icon

Hi - One for Core Wizard I believe. Would it perhaps be possible to include a wider range of dancing bananas in the new forums? They have steadily become a LF icon ... Usually they mean someone has just earned an extra penguin, and I guess they are a sign of approval, acceptance and ... well ... FUN!

I don't know where they came from originally, or if there are copyright issues, but there are many many different variations on the dancing banana theme. Some of them are quite rude, but some are like this:


Best wishes - fingal

If voting counts for the new bananas, I vote for it.

Yeah, multicolored bananas would definitely show that we are a diverse group.

Crazy But yeah, those bananas are awesome. I love most smileys, but bananas are great..

I am not too active to testify to that they're sort of an LFDO icon. I know they exist in other forums too, but yeah.

Cheers
Daniel

My sentiments exactly. We are a diverse group and we should celebrate that.

If we don't no-one else will.

I personally despise the dancing bananas, but I am a definite minority here.

I'm perfectly aware of the difference between animated bananas and reality, so I don't get what you meant by this.
