I am so glad I already drank my coffee. Dunno what I would have made of that in a pre-caffeininated state.

Bizarre. Adorable, but bizarre.

Sorry, bucko. Duff jingles won’t work on me. I have seen one full episode of the Simpsons (the one where Bart sawed the head off the statute of the town’s founder (?)). Pretty much, I used to watch the opening to see what he was writing on the blackboard, and then switch on NPR. So to me, those are just words, words, words.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzt. Try again. 🙂

Just google for “bananaphone” and you’ll probably find several other sites that have it, and one of them probably isn’t blocked.

Most of the people in this thread should enjoy [this little story](http://thefucksociety.com/anim.php?h=400&id=bananaphone&w=550).

BTW, the badgers and stuff were of course stolen from [weebl](http://www.weebls-stuff.com), and the [song](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000003HW/102-8922741-3403306?v=glance) was stolen from [Raffi](http://www.raffinews.com/ABOUT/index.html), who has been writing and performing children’s music for a while.

Ha. A radio station had this on their morning show a few days ago. I didn’t find it all that addictive, really… time to see about the online version. Hrm. Anyone else finding this not as addictive as everyone else? I like it, it cracks me up, but I’ll forget it in a few minutes. Funny stuff though…

Any clues on how I download this puppy? I’m using IE 6, with the latest service pack. I can download the original “Badger, badger” just fine from the Albino Black Sheep page, but the “Bananaphone” download seems to get stuck halfway, every time.

Hey **Anita** - didn’t I tell you that **Opal** will s\*\*t when she sees this flash movie? 😛

**RTFirefly** -I was unable to save any .swf or .php files until I installed FlashFavorite. I downloaded and saved this morning. Hope that helps.
