Just look at them.

Banana Boats (via Neatorama)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    I’m looking, but these banana boats don’t look particularly BBQ’ed to me. Wait a minute…is that a highly deadly black tarantula?

    Now look at this Stan Freburg version of The Calypso Singer. Just look at it.

    I used to make those all the time as a kid. I think it’s time to revisit my inner child and make them again. 

    I was also shocked to see Microsoft advertising here. I guess Watchimosomomo can’t pay all the bills though.

      No, I do not.

      I never, ever want another creepy, bug-eyed banana.

  • Andrew Singleton

    Grilled banana boats sound deelish, but someone has no idea what barbeque is.

    You don’t need to wrap the bananas in foil if you wait until the coals have cooled a bit off, or if you place the bananas near the edge of the grill. I recommend dark chocolate with chili, or with mint for variation.
