How appeeling. ;)

Doesn't take much to spark a political reaction in Latin America. Or here on the Cellar, for that matter. Hard to believe it's Brittain's favorite food. I thought they only drank tea. And pissed a lot. Fishbone (personally I'd change my name) said: Don't play with your food...... I reckon someone else hauled & stacked these "nanners" for him. Shame,shame,shame. Don't play with your food. Don't make food out of what you play with. After all, The banana IS an American standard. [ weights & measures]. Please don't ask me for the link.

so if you took a dump in the middle of trafalger square, would this be art?

I love London, so I would never do that... my husband posed the question.

:smack:

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.

It's a good thing my Dad's not in London now. That exhibit wouldn't last a minute.

With that many bananas, they should put a big pile of Immodium right next to it. Then at least it'd be accurate art. :)

Crap

Next...

The whole point of the concept of a pile of bananas as art is that it's a changing installation piece. Taking a few bananas is part of the piece. I'm not going to touch the stupid crass American comment, but here's a bit of the background story:

"Here in London the bananas are not expected to spark a political reaction - just a hungry one.

From 3pm today anyone who fancies a free snack can take their pick from among the bananas with impunity. In fact, that is the point of the work. Fishbone said: 'It will be a reverse sculptural process. As the bananas are taken away the work is whittled away until it vanishes.' "

And its big yellow (for now) in all that grey. I like that part.

Thank you Els, for the lyrics (The song was the first thing I thought of on seeing the picture).

I had the good fortune of seeing Harry do that live, a year or so before his death.

At first I misread the title - I thought it was 30,000 lbs of Bananas....

I expected to see a smear 400 yards long the hill that leads into Scranton PA

(2 pts to the 1st person who gets the reference without looking it up)

Elspode wins.

that's what I get for not reading the link...

No worries, I got busted for not proofing my post a few images ago. :yelsick:

Now that you know, go down and get yourself some free bananas!
