Holiday gift idea #1
In honor of the HAIL we had this week and the expressed curiosity over at Cranky Fitness, I’d like to take this opportunity to remind my readers that Christmas 2007 is only 165 shopping days away, the first day of Hanukkah only 145 days away, and Festivus (you know, that holiday for the “rest of us”) is only 158 days away. If you are already making your lists and checking them twice, here’s holiday gift idea #1. It is, in my opinion, the ultimate stocking stuffer.
That’s right friends, a glow in the dark Banana Guard. It will protect your ‘nana from getting squashed at the bottom of your backpack, gym bag, camelbak, or whatever lovely tote you carry on your rigorous excursions into the world of let’s not be lazy today. Tried and tested by yours truly.
Why, you may ask, does it need to glow? Beats the heck out of me, but it was the same price as the other one, so I figured I’d be adventurous! I’ll let you know if I ever get stuck in a cave and it proves to be a useful feature. But, it is such a party conversation piece. (We tried to get a picture of it glowing, but it didn’t work out.)

Oh my goodness. It’s even more gloriously silly than I thought–it’s big and glowy and well, a bit phallic!
Indeed a perfect Festivus gift. Thank you for sharing!

Exceptionally phallic and hilarious… quite a conversation piece when you are on hikes / runs with others

Girls! Minds! Gutters! Please!
Oh goodness, for the first time in my life REI has let me down. Or, at least rei.com. No banana guards. I’ll have to speak to someone about this. Erika, I’ll bring you one next time I’m back.

….and please don’t forget to remove the banana if you don’t eat it…..I think that’s what the drainage holes are for …eeeeewwwwww!!!!!!!
Keep those ‘nanas crunchy!!!!!!!

Ooooooh.
I need one.
I am tired of squishy freakishly bruised bananas in my lunch. I think I might get mocked terribly but I’d FINALLy get to eat a normal banana for lunch!
Where can you get them (in Canada…?)
