Nope. Never even heard of it. If it’s any consolation, when I first glanced at the post I thought it said something about enjoying Bananarama. I would have provided a mildly positive response were that the case.

TNP knows where the quote “we don’t need no stinking badges” came from without having to google it.

The Mexican desperado talking to Humphrey Bogart in _Treasure of the Sierra Madre_, right?

Even better than Scrabble IMHO, **Cardigan** : [Bananagrams - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bananagrams)

TNP, having clicked on that link, thinks he or she just might want to play Bananagrams.

A nice rule (extra points) would be to insist that the words be semantically gatherable in some sort of coherent way, which to justify the creator may have to come up with quite a story.

Also, FTR, once during one of my stays at a mental hospital, we drew “random” word- and letter-tiles with that goal and then explored the results. (FTR. :))
